That (>>222) is why I love this board and the cool and funny people who post here! If you read back the old boards (not sure how long you've been lurking) there are many more. It's fun to speculate...!
I have read everyone's wise comments and YES to all of it especially >>199 which rings very true on the basis of what we hav seen.
A couple more oddities:
1)US Weekly really did come out of a clear sky which is why I think it came from them/her. There were no pap pics or speculative articles and (as I have said before) no sightings from nw3anon who pretended after US Weekly she had seen them together back in Jan). Whether to establish a timeline, to generate publicity for ISTL (seems a bit early though) or to forcibly introduce herself to he mother of his FWB, who knows.
2) Let's not forget the looooong gap between Pursegategate and TIFF when TH was in London not working and she was in LA not working (and spotted by paps various times). No sign at all that they met up during that period. He doesn't seem to have been up to much - that guardian article, the gq shoot, the Coriolanus commentary - but no contact. This relationship seems to blow hot and cold - or did they take a break after Pursegategate and take it up again in HI? He seems to be blowing hot at the moment - though that coincides with a geographically convenient time with filming in HI and lots of flights via LAX.
3) >>226 Quite.
