Thread to talk about actor Tom Hiddleston.

>>100 I was just about to post that with the same comment. She sure does!

102 Name: anonsy : 2016-07-04 01:45 ID:Z/gAwoKf

I'm crossing my fingers that it's an Italian food bump, since Tom seems to have one too.

103 Name: anonsy : 2016-07-04 01:45 ID:Z/gAwoKf

Also he's really losing his hair.

104 Name: Sosorry : 2016-07-04 01:49 ID:P+RH8GGx

She was drinking wine with TH in Rhode Island and had several cocktails at Adeles in Nashville. Hopefully not drinking while pregnant. He's gone from the TNM sexy mysterious man of action back to junior high. I'm so confused. What is his end game?

105 Name: anonsy : 2016-07-04 01:51 ID:Z/gAwoKf

>>98 Maybe he's doing all of this because he lost some sort of horrible bet.

106 Name: anonsy : 2016-07-04 01:59 ID:Z/gAwoKf

I just... I'm sorry. I can't with the shirt. "I <3 T.S." What are we, 12, Tom? "It's our first month-iversary so I'm going to celebrate by wearing a shirt to show everyone how much I 'heart' you!" or more likely "It's our first month-iversary so wear this shirt to show everyone how much you 'heart' me! <3 <3 <3" This is worse than the Selena Gomez concert dad-dancing.

So TH goes up the stairs first alone. She then places her hand in his from behind. They let go of hands as soon as they reach the top of the stairs and he rushes ahead of her? Weird! If there are any gentleman on this chain, men follow women up the stairs such that the girl can fall backwards into him if she loses balance in an accident. Also, men walk ahead of women when going downstairs, such that he can catch if her if she falls. Love those manners books! And the heart tank top looks like a fun crafts project. Not that it's the best look on him...but maybe he just doesn't care, and wants a fun summer. The last few years have been very intense. Just trying to consider everything.

109 Name: Savvy : 2016-07-04 02:04 ID:7WljYwy7

He has probably been auditioning for several roles without being chosen and finally realised that he'll soon be 50 years old and his career, although respectable in the UK, is not taking off. He wants a luxury life like the one Taylor Swift is giving him. Trust me, he won't leave her. He knows he looks pathetic but he doesn't care as long as he puts he keeps living the high life with her money.

And his mother is just like him. A respectable English lady would never engage in that ridiculous show-off.

110 Name: anonsy : 2016-07-04 02:13 ID:Z/gAwoKf

In a couple of the Instagram pics there's a photographer with a professional camera in the water with them, and then walking up to the house with them as well. Gotta get the perfect shots for all the papers tomorrow!

111 Name: NewAnon : 2016-07-04 02:17 ID:QrAHUnpX

>>109 I'm beginning to believe this. He may not wanna leave but I don't think it's under his control anymore. She's gonna get rid of him soon. She dates guys that other women want to date and will envy her. Tom has lost all his sex appeal now. No one envies Taylor for dating him. I certainly don't. She started up with him thinking he's the new sexy James Bond but that's all gone now.

In the first photo of the second row, the baby bump is clearly visible:

113 Name: anonsy : 2016-07-04 02:27 ID:Z/gAwoKf

>>112 I really don't think it's a baby bump. Then again I didn't think any of this was going to happen so I could be wrong.

I hope Michael K finds time during his vacation to write an article about the latest beach adventure.

114 Name: NewAnon : 2016-07-04 02:31 ID:QrAHUnpX

>>112 That can't be a baby bump. You don't show until the 4th 5th month. That means they were hooking long before MET then. Doubt she wants that cheater image.

115 Name: anonsy : 2016-07-04 02:55 ID:Z/gAwoKf

116 Name: Sosorry : 2016-07-04 03:02 ID:P+RH8GGx

The Dailymail article on the party is up. And the first photo of them hugging, may be the most awkward hug I've ever seen. So confused. Why doesn't she have a heart tattoo with his name in it?

117 Name: anonsy : 2016-07-04 03:05 ID:Z/gAwoKf

>>116 Because this is all about HER, and how much he lurves HER, and how lucky SHE is to have a hot boyfriend and a big celebrity squad at HER mansion for HER party.

118 Name: anonsy : 2016-07-04 03:07 ID:Z/gAwoKf

>>117 And by "hot boyfriend" I mean "formerly attractive actor turned famewhore going through some sort of life crisis before the eyes of the world."

121 Name: Sosorry : 2016-07-04 03:48 ID:P+RH8GGx

Is the tank top his way of saying that TS is something to write home about, literally, because it is written on the shirt. I though he was speaking in metaphors in the magazine, though :) And has anyone seen the 7th pic on swftdaily.com? The one wear Tom is at the top of the stairs walking by the girl with the sun hat (SG I think.) His expression is either pissed or frustrated, or something. It's a lonely pic. It's melancholy and kind of odd. Or am I just having a moment? Maybe he's making of his fans, and he's having a ball.

122 Name: anonsy : 2016-07-04 03:54 ID:Z/gAwoKf

Oh noes. He looks like a caricature of an Englishman on holiday. So white and pasty and balding and awkward. I am surprised he isn't wearing a knotted handkerchief on his head. And the tattoo! And the slogan on the t shirt! I'm cringeing.

You guys, I know July 4 is about humiliating the English, but this is too much.

What happened to the buff sexpot in pic 2? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-35884333

Have seen his actual hair when he was in the ocean I'm now totally on board with Anonon's fake hair explanation, but where have the abs gone? Were they also glued on?

He even looks a lot tubbier than in the dreaded W mag photos. They were taken mid April. Has he been living on pasta for the last 2.5 months? Or is it just that stupid shirt and those stupid board shorts?

129 Name: anonsy : 2016-07-04 05:33 ID:Z/gAwoKf

>>128 He's just preparing for his next role.

Thor 3 spoilers: After two years of hiding beneath the illusion of Odin, Loki realizes he's let himself go. The stress of pretending to be the so-called "father" he hates has driven him to alcoholism, and everyone knows Viking mead is bad for the waistline. The next hour of the movie consists of various training montages during which Thor, acting as Loki's personal fitness coach, prepares him for his big rematch with the Hulk. Loki will not be smashed again. Not this time.

Have a great 4 July by the way everybody - is it past midnight where you are yet? 🗽🇺🇸

131 Name: Anon : 2016-07-04 05:45 ID:hOUUKweE

I think I need to set fire to my tumblr account. Formerly sensible blogs I follow are squealing "it's two people in luuuuuurve. How dare you hate on him for the t shirt" and "save your hate for what's happening in Syria" (truly). Well I do hate what's happening in Syria, but I am not following any Syrian civil war blogs, only TH-related ones, so I am only commenting about the t shirt.

They are also saying he looks really buff. I think he looks tubby and also that his arms have gone a lot more spindly. Am I the only one who sees this??

132 Name: Whatsinaname : 2016-07-04 05:54 ID:w9Q74kZP

>>130 It's 1am where I am.

>>131 I think his pecs and upper arms look pumped up, and he also looks, as ppl have pointed out here, that he's been eating well for the past month or so. In the past he slimmed down to play Loki but it doesn't look to me like he's started to do that yet.

133 Name: anonsy : 2016-07-04 06:02 ID:Z/gAwoKf

>>130 Thank you! :) It's past midnight, but I won't start celebrating until tomorrow. Though I am considering breaking out the alcohol a bit early.

>>131 I'm surprised that the ridiculous shirt, of all things, is what's making people defensive. To me it's the second worst thing he's done so far, right after trotting his family out for the paparazzi.

And you're right, his physique is not in prime form. There's definitely a belly there, which is not something we've seen on him before. I can't tell if his arms are that much smaller or if it's just an illusion from his torso being more filled out. Maybe his metabolism is slowing down, or he hasn't had time for his daily run with all these private jet flights and pap walks.

134 Name: Anon : 2016-07-04 06:05 ID:8aKAUfGt

>>132 I saw some pics where he is lifting her up and his biceps look better. But that shirt is not doing him any favours. He'd be better off not wearing it.

BTW Ryan Reynolds is 39 but is somehow managing not to look like Hugh Hefner. How is this?

135 Name: Anon : 2016-07-04 06:12 ID:8aKAUfGt

>>133 Bulking up is a dangerous game. Once you eat the protein and acquire all that muscle mass, you have to keep pumping iron or the muscle turns to flab. It looks particularly bad if you aren't normally a person who builds muscle easily. A contrary example is Chris Evans - he is naturally a stockier build so in addition to gaining muscle mass more easily, when he is carrying a few extra poinds it doesn't notice nearly so much. He I am sure has times when he is not working out so much and eating pizza but you don't look at him and think, oh he chubbed out.

138 Name: N8Anon : 2016-07-04 06:39 ID:5HZnKN8+

Bloody hell. Make it stopppppppp!
He looks happy though. But also a total knobhead. Any reserved intelligent cool and sex appeal obliterated.

139 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-07-04 06:40 ID:Heaven

>>136 *I haven't had breakfast

140 Name: Whatsinaname : 2016-07-04 06:40 ID:w9Q74kZP

>>133 According to tumblr, the shirt's either his version of flippin' the bird at the paps, or TS is using it to (playfully) make fun of him or the press. Or all three.

The emotional meltdown in and outside of the fandom makes me miss EO. Her dalliance was child's play compared to the reaction to the photos today.

Shame that we lost several tumblr fans a year ago during PurseGateGate when they just gave up on the crazy (mel was my fav).

141 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-07-04 06:41 ID:Heaven

>>137 his hair is never going to get better, from what I remember of his father. You can't beat DNA and age.

142 Name: Sosorry : 2016-07-04 06:41 ID:P+RH8GGx

I agree. He lost the night manager muscle definition but has not done the Loki slim down to shed the excess body fat. So he's not quite the lean and hungry jungle cat body that we know. Somewhere in between TNM and Loki. Still hoping that the drinking means that TS is not up the duff. I don't know why TH was worried about his career. Look at Colin Firth. He plugged away for years in character parts in Oscar winning films like Shakespeare in Love and English Patient, then landed Bridget Jones and finally an Oscar for the Kings Speech. Anything is possible if you're well trained, hard working, and have classical pretty handsome looks like he does.

I don't know if I can handle TS visits to Australia all summer. I'm not prepared for that kind of excitement or drama. But TH always has a mystery summer romance, so this is kind of just like JA and EO but on a worldwide level. I do wonder what their conversations are like, though. And I wonder what he's thinking! Are we still feeling that this is half real and half PR?

143 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-07-04 06:46 ID:Heaven

So I don't think TS is pregnant, not only because of the alcohol, but also because even if they had sex the night of the Met it would be 2 months old, not enough to show (unless it's CH's baby! Plot twist!)

Also, it seems to me TS is one of those girls that stay thin by eating little or not eating, she doesn't seem to be someone who regularly practices some sport. Look at this photo http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2016/07/04/04/35EC832900000578-3672998-image-a-64_1467601603922.jpg

She clearly isn't fit, so that belly is probably too much carbo.

144 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-07-04 06:48 ID:Heaven

People article says they were kissing, I haven't seen any photo of them kissing. Where are they?

If that tshirt is supposed to be a flippin' the bird, it's not to the paps since he so willingly brought them to his family house, maybe his fans or the world...He was always passive aggressive, but this is a new low!

145 Name: Anon : 2016-07-04 07:03 ID:8aKAUfGt

They are each pregnant with a calorie baby. It isn't sexy to go on a first date and eat salad and not drink. Much sexier to share a bottle of wine and a swan pastry (actually, scratch the second part). But you get my drift. I read in some interview a while back that TH is normally very, very careful about looking after himself - he isn't that whippet thin just because he loves to run and has a good metabolism. If you look at him at the press conference for TDBS in Barcelona he is a lot less skinny. Much bigger bum and waist, and the cheekbones don't pop nearly so much. He lost a lot of weight at some point after that (way before ISTL) and kept it off.

146 Name: qaz : 2016-07-04 07:08 ID:ReAL8f5e

Wh.. what? O wow... Whahahahahaaha! TH doesn't disappoint, this shirt is even better than sliding the inflatable slide, lol.

He's an idiot.
And I'm loving it, not gonna lie, lmao. I literally spit on myself laughing when I saw the pics.

TS's figure looks a bit fuller in general - boobs, belly, even thighs a little rounder I think, I don't know whether due to pregnancy or holiday food. Looks good on her!

Happy 4th everyone!
Anon., I'll make sure to have a glass of something in the evening on behalf of you :)

147 Name: Anon : 2016-07-04 07:08 ID:8aKAUfGt

This pic shows that he was bigger around the bum and waist back then. No shade - this is actually my favourite Tom - but if you look at him during the TDW press tour he has lost a lot of weight. http://www.elmundo.es/elmundo/2011/09/19/cultura/1316439442.html

148 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-07-04 07:10 ID:Heaven

>>147 Oh I agree with you, even in the Hollow Crown he wasn't as fit as he was for TNM. Actually in TNM he was in better shape than he was for HR.

149 Name: NewAnon : 2016-07-04 07:15 ID:QrAHUnpX

Happy 4th everyone!

At least he looks happy in the pics. I don't know why he decided to wear that I <3 TS shirt or do the T heart tattoo. It wouldn't have been this ridiculous if he'd just been in his swimming trunks and that's it. I can't decide if she's trolling him or if he's really crazy in love and thought wearing the TS shirt and tattoo would prove he's serious about her but also in a jokey way. If so, it didn't work. It's backfired and he looks embarrassing.

150 Name: Anon : 2016-07-04 07:21 ID:8aKAUfGt

>>138 "He looks happy though. But also a total knob head."

This. Hugh Hefner also looked happy when he was pictured standing between those blonde twin bunnies he was shagging at one point.

I am reminded of Anon.'s comment last week that TH and TS may, in some awful way, deserve each other. The more I look at these pictures the more I think he likes all this. He likes being papped (when it suits him). He likes being the centre of attention. He likes wearing a ghastly t shirt shouting his love for his gf of 3(?) weeks and a fake tattoo like he is 15 years old. He likes hanging out with people like Gigi Hadid (gag) who seemingly have nothing to recommend them as companions save for their looks.

151 Name: anonsy : 2016-07-04 07:29 ID:Z/gAwoKf

Sometimes I think he looks happy, usually in the pictures that end up in the magazines. At other times though, when he's more in the background of the shots or the photographers are farther away, he looks uncomfortable or occasionally downright angry.

152 Name: N8Anon : 2016-07-04 07:34 ID:5HZnKN8+

>>150 Yeah I think he's happy as a pig in shit right now, and that is what I'm finding it hard to understand. I can't reconcile how is being with how he has acted previously. I mean, yes, he's always been a bit of a dork and had a good sense of fun, but this is just so out there in the public. I'll find it very hard watching him in something now without all this nonsense coming to mind.
Also, why the need to go down to the beach? She has a big mansion with a swimming pool, right? It seems purely for the pap shots.

153 Name: Sosorry : 2016-07-04 07:47 ID:P+RH8GGx

>>151 I agree! I thought that I was bonkers! In the approved pics he looks happy, but otherwise he looks tense. That look that TS gave him at his mothers house was scary, and he looked pretty clenched walking to the beach. And there is one at the 4 TH of July party, at the top of the stairs where he is walking past SG, he is clearly frowning, having left TS back with her friends at the top of the stairs. I can't tell whether he's questioning the relationship, or frustrated with the press games, or annoyed that he is getting attacked by the legitimate press.

I also am confused by the way his arms never fully go around TS. Blake and Ryan are climbing one another, but TH's hands are down in the water, or he has one hand on top of his other hand. I think I am flirtier with my handsome guy friends who just friends than they are with each other! He is flirtier with female journalists that he has met for the first time, than he is with TS. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark...

154 Name: Anon : 2016-07-04 08:02 ID:lVdcDpr7

Well I guess on the one hand he has a cute new girlfriend, who is also a lot younger and has all the toys. He has spent a lot of time alone or just with Olly (I think he stayed in HI for thanksgiving when all his cast mates headed home). Now he has a group of people to hang out with and a fun house party to go to, when he's maybe been a bit serious and not had much fun in the past. Otherwise, what? A date with Olly at the tennis? So, he's happy.

On the other hand, he has a cute new collection of paparazzi friends, and a lot of comment in the mainstream media, of which he must be aware, saying at best that the relationship is fake (which must hurt if it's real) and at worst that he is milking this relationship for all it's worth and has lost all credibility. Plus a lot of mainstream media laughter at the W photoshoot, which he pretty obviously wasn't wholly comfortable with and must now be really regretting. And surely (please God) he must occasionally look around himself and think, will this be my life if I stay with her? Will I ever have an adult conversation again?

155 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-07-04 08:13 ID:Heaven

Thing is that we are still looking at this with the infos he previously gave us about himself, which turned out not to be true.

>>154 yes, chances are he is happy as in happy to have scored the highschool prom queen, happy with the money, happy with the VIP life, but the money isn't his, the media are dragging him, people make fun of him, etc. There are probably moments when he wonders if this might mean a worsening of his career, but the reaction to that is to insist even more (he's too intelligent to be wrong!), so here comes the immature passive aggressiveness: instead of just tweeting something intelligent about it, he wears a tshirt+fake tattoo that makes him look a Bieber-idiot.

156 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-07-04 08:15 ID:Heaven

>>152 I actually only watched CP and ISTL last week, it was very difficult (well, ISTL was already difficult in itself...) to take him seriously, the performance wasn't strong enough to overcome the image of him dad dancing. I think this tshirt thing might have ruin HR.

157 Name: anonsy : 2016-07-04 08:23 ID:Z/gAwoKf

>>154 I share a lot of your thoughts. Of course we can't know all the details of what's going on between them, or amongst their PR teams behind closed doors. (Luke could be calling Tom every day begging him to cut it out, or he could be reassuring him not to worry and it's all part of the plan.) But most anyone in his situation would eventually reach the point of wondering if this is all worth it, and I think he's there and it's coming across in the photos - I saw it for the first time in some of the pictures with his family, then again in Rome and now with the party photos as well.

If it's a real relationship, they should be enjoying themselves and getting to know each other without the media circus they've invited along. If it's a fake relationship, well those are supposed to be beneficial for both parties, but so far I've seen nothing positive for Tom except for exposure, and even that's been largely negative. Either way, whatever this is looks like it's not working out quite how he'd anticipated, and he has to be torn.

158 Name: M : 2016-07-04 08:47 ID:G9XSecx/

I saw his t-shirt and my appetite suddenly disappeared. How embarrassing for him! Or maybe he likes to look like a clown.

159 Name: Anon : 2016-07-04 09:24 ID:lVdcDpr7

I kind of feel like we would mind this encounter a bit less if this was all we had seen. The T shirt is cute and a bit dorky - so what, he is feeling affectionate to his new GF and maybe making a joke. They are out in the ocean, but that's more fun than a pool and why should they all hide? They're a group having fun on 4 July. Etc. It's when it comes on top of all the rest.

160 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-07-04 10:35 ID:Heaven

>>159 I don't know about that, this is the equivalent of Johnny Depp and his tattoos to declare his love later turned into something else. I mean Jessica Chastain's bf is younger but he didn't go around with a tshirt saying "Jessica is my gf!" when there were rumours she had a fling with TH. If you are confident in your choices you don't feel the need to prove it to the world.

'Taylor's 'human backpack' pose where she leaps onto her guy of the moments back and clings like a limpit suggests a playful, childish side that might have worked with Calvin but looks completely incongruent with the human charm offensive that is Tom.'

HUMAN CHARM OFFENSIVE

>>174 "She might be a powerful successful woman but -added to the way that suave Tom is now also sporting stick on tattoos and t shirts with her name on it could be that he's getting eaten up by the Swift roadshow rather than stamping his own identity on the relationship."

Exactly! That whole vest and tattoo is symbolic of how she's swallowed up his whole identity. There are apologists who don't see anything wrong with how she's got him whipped, mostly because they probably want spineless whipped boyfriends too but I'm sorry, no mature adult behaves this way. There's a difference in wearing a "I <3 my boyfriend" shirt versus a "I <3 T.S" shirt. This whole thing is so high school.

I still think it's like watching the hot cheerleader prank the school dork and use him to get back at her jock boyfriend by putting on a public display in front of the school gym during lunch.

>>175 Sorry I meant "I <3 my girlfriend" shirt not boyfriend.

And she's swallowed up his identity to the point where his own works and career has disappeared in the media and his whole identity has been reduced to his association with Taylor Swift.

Brilliant comment under the latest Celebitchy article. LOLZ.

"Quick–someone ask his name! Does he respond to Reek?"

178 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-07-04 11:45 ID:Heaven

>>175 To a point maybe, but it's not like she pointed a gun to his head. He is not being swallowed, he wants himself to be swallowed, and his family with him. Happily. He's 35, he has experience with women, with the business, if Calvin Harris managed to impose privacy on his relationship with TS, TH I-can't-turn-off-my-brain could too. The point is he doesn't want to.

179 Name: NewAnon : 2016-07-04 11:59 ID:QrAHUnpX

>>178 I'm not dumping the blame on her at all. He is the spineless pushover guy who wants to do all of this. Whether or not he's having an internal struggle with it all, I can't say based on the pap pics.

I just don't agree with this being normal adult boyfriend behavior like I see some Tom and most Swifty fans saying it is. The Swiftys are even romanticizing it all by saying he loves her so much he's basically given up his career for her and has no problem getting ridiculed. I think it's all overboard and behavior I'd see from a couple teen celebrities. Not celebrities aged 26 and 35.

180 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-07-04 12:05 ID:Heaven

>>179 my bad :) - I would expect her fans reacting like that, I'm surprised there are still TH's fans supporting that idea.

181 Name: Anon : 2016-07-04 12:10 ID:lVdcDpr7

Yes he is pussy whipped. Yes he wants to be pussy whipped. She has finally found someone who is fool enough to go along with her peurile behaviour.

The CB comments are gold today. Even the veranda woman (who has been trying to make out like she is a supportive fan by standing above it all, while failing dismally due to making a load of snide comments about TS) has finally cracked and said she's handing out paper bags, whether to wear on one's head or throw up into I am not entirely clear.

183 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-07-04 12:13 ID:Heaven

>>181 hahaha veranda woman! (she was the one insisting that the girl in Hawaii wasn't EO, wasn't she?) I can't wait for them to go to OZ and ride angry bird in a mall.

184 Name: Anon : 2016-07-04 12:18 ID:lVdcDpr7

>>179 >>180 Visit tumblr for the crazy that is the pro-TH lobby.

We have had "NONE of these pics were staged, the paps JUST FIND THEM, ALRIGHT."

Also "he is a celebrity (sometimes "he is an artist", vomit), he owes you NAHTHING about his personal life, including but not limited to any truthful remarks about his attitude towards sharing it with the world."

Also: "He's in LOVE, people change."

And, as New Anon said, "he is just being his usual cute dorky self and showing what an amazeballs boyfriend he is, jealous much bitch?"

185 Name: Anon : 2016-07-04 12:26 ID:lVdcDpr7

>>182 No, no. The picture of him running along the beach. He looks like the BFG. The giant feet, the lack of hair, the vest.

Look, here he is with Taylor: http://www.worldgallery.co.uk/art-print/quentin-blake-roald-dahl-the-bfg-and-sophie-2-432209

I just feel like the tshirt is similar to dog pissing on their property to claim it. TS is marking her territory for everyone to see, and at the very least he's ok with it.

Just waiting for the tattoo.

187 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-07-04 12:29 ID:Heaven

>>184 Goodness!

If they can't see what the rest of the world is seeing, they are really more stupid than I thought. If they can but they are so forceful about stating the opposite, it means the situation is really desperate for TH.

188 Name: NewAnon : 2016-07-04 12:31 ID:QrAHUnpX

>>181 Lord, that veranda is really annoying. Her stance of men and women being friends every time TH is rumored to be dating someone was a whole different level of stanning. Now she can't use that excuse anymore and I'm loving watching her unravel lol

>>184 There's some from the pro-TH lobby that believe all publicity is good and that this is wonderful for Tom's visibility and career. They are probably the type who have no concept of quality.

My personal favorites are the ones taking the something to write home about and shouting it from rooftops quotes and saying this is Tom doing exactly that. Sure, I guess. If you still want to buy into that previous image he was selling.

189 Name: Someone : 2016-07-04 12:46 ID:nzmT8G5W

I'm guessing that TH showed up chubby and out of shape, especially compared to Ryan Reynolds who came with his abs fully prepared. So they put TH in a tank top to make him look somewhat presentable, unfortunately all they had at hand was TS merch...

191 Name: Anon : 2016-07-04 12:57 ID:lVdcDpr7

>>188 I can't stand the veranda woman. Apart from flogging a joke a long time after it ceased to be funny, she has been policing that board for a couple of years, handing out snooty put downs to anyone who dared to suggest that THEO were bound to be shagging since EO flew first to the UK and then to HI to see him.

I think it's out of her control now, although I do keep hoping for one last post from her saying "They are obviously just friends. I give all my male friends tongue sandwiches."

Michael K is not on holiday - he just posted an article about Vanilla Ice (why??). Prayer circle, everybody.

Also, where is Anon.? You have to visit the board today so that in future you will be able to give an answer when your little one says, "Mummy, where were you e day that satire died?"

And happy memories of the ghosts of boyfriends past. One year ago Michael K had this to say about her 4 July party:

"For the first time in the long history of their relationship (six seconds or so), long piece of dried jicama Calvin Harris posted a picture of his girlfriend Taylor Swift on Instagram. Calvin posted a picture of Tay Tay working the grill (and I’m sure her chef took over right after this picture was taken). The picture is dark, but I think she’s throwing a side-eye that says, “Dump me and it’ll be your nuts on this grill.”

195 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-07-04 14:49 ID:Heaven

>>193 The Lord be praised!

Looking at the photos of TS and CH last year they seemed more authentic than anything Tayto ever did. My new hope is that it's fake, because at least that's just funny and embarrassing, if it's for real than it's also tragic and pathetic (for him)

196 Name: Anon : 2016-07-04 15:05 ID:hOUUKweE

>>195 You're right, they did look very natural together.

For a man who embodies grace on the red carpet, and who has always seemed so at home with the fact that he's a nerd, TH now looks awkward and ill-at-ease, like the unpopular kid who was invited under sufferance to the cool kid's birthday party. Maybe that is why people read this as fake.

Okay. Just saw the kiss pic in the ocean. Kind of awkward. All this close mouthed kissing is freaking me out! Is TH great at acting, but not public displays of romance? I think he looks handsome in general, but he looks out of place in this crowd, a bit. But maybe he's having a blast. I've lost perspective. Usually he'd be at Wimbledon. Maybe he's content in general, but all of these pics in the public eye are harder than he thought they would be. I wonder what his PR team is thinking?

I think his open job schedule is just him banking on Emmy and globe nominations for TNM, and that accolades will get him better scripts.

199 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-07-04 15:59 ID:Heaven

You know when you think "ok maybe it's just awkward in photos but in movement it'll probably feel different"?

The tshirtofloveparade was not the case, watch here.

Clearly they got down from the house to the public beach to have their celeb moment with a pro photographer (you can hear hear one of the paps saying it). TH looks so out of place!

200 Name: Anon : 2016-07-04 16:05 ID:hOUUKweE

>>199 He was actually wringing his hands imploringly as he hung around the periphery of the group.

Did they just go down to the beach to get that group shot, do you think?
