Thread to talk about the actor Tom Hiddleston

2 full threads in how many days? This must be a record....

Re 998 on previous thread: It doesn't have to be pregnancy.

If it's true he's about to propose it's likely to be a self-fulfilling prophecy. I proposed after a month, therefore it must be true love. He strikes me as both impulsive and pig-headed, just the type who would marry in haste to show the world he's right. And/or he is as nervous as everybody else about her flighty reputation. He wants to grab this one and get her committed so she and her private jet don't swan off elsewhere.

It could also just be the news cycle. If it's Wednesday it must be the engagement article.

For entertainment, I give you an Us Weekly blast from the past, July of last year:

http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/hot-stuff-taylor-swift-and-calvin-harris-2015237

And the Sun, from January of this year:

https://www.thesun.co.uk/archives/news/83722/calvin-harris-ready-to-propose-to-girlfriend-taylor-swift/

(My captcha is "vile bish" LOL)

Re 1000:

I agree he is sending a message. He's far too clever to have done this by accident. To that extent I agree with the crazy tumblr folks.

However I am no so sure he is sending a message saying "this is a holiday romance." I think he is sending a message saying "this is a genuine relationship and please please don't believe the millions of tweets over the last 3 weeks that this is a fake relationship. Or all those articles in the mainstream press saying I am a thirsty little fameho. Please."

It's hilarious he retweets that article the same day as US prints about him proposing to Taylor.

If he was referring to Brexit when retweeted, he should have been more precise. But I guess he's counting on the ambiguity to work in his favor, both in shaming people who won't buy the happy couple narrative and to allow wiggle room that maybe he wasn't referring to his private life ("because I never talk about my personal life") but rather poignantly expressing his views on the current political climate and its influencers.

>>4 Agreed, that is certainly what he trying to say. The medium of the message is all wrong though. Silly boy.

>>2 I would buy the impulsive and pig- headed line. He has shot himself in the foot and just stood up and misfired again and again.
>>3 Still, meeting the parents after 4 months doesn't even come close to their two week mark.
I also have the impression US Weekly is a much more credible source than the Sun, non for engagement rumors?
>>4 Yes on the 'I may be an actor but really and truly I wasn't acting' line (and neither was my mum, she truly grabbed all my ex lovers like that on first meeting)

Do you think he knew the proposal story was coming out today via her camp, and his RT was a way to deflect?

>>5

Ah, Tom and his poignant little visits to social media whenever the nasty journos are being howwible to poor diddums. This makes 3 (The Wirk, Seneca and a sententious, overlong Guardian article).

>>8 Quite possibly his way of saying don't believe the engagement rumor.
>>5 He notoriously avoids any political stances- so much so I find it impossible to take the RT as anything but personal

>>7 No idea if the Sun is more or less reliable than USW. On the one hand, it is a tabloid, but on the other, it is not in the publicists' pockets and it did break the story that they were dating! It may be peddling a different kind of half truth than USW, which promulgates whatever lie the celebs' publicists think will suit their purposes today.

>>3 hahaha same old same old.

>>5 Does it work in his favour? With the exception of TH's fangirls and the Swifties, anyone would think what we thought: hypocrite. He is dating a girl that uses her own fans to manipulate the narrative on social media, someone that uses her hair to kiss ass Anna Wintour and get herself a commercial with Apple. He just did the opposite of what he should be doing.

>>4 See, that was more self projection because I can't figure out if his awkward refusal to comment on Taylor is giving himself the out that "well I never called her my gf anywhere, the media assumed just because I took her to meet my family. I'm a private man so no one knows how I treat my gfs, maybe I take all of them to meet my family, serious or not." OR if he really is serious long term with her and is getting peeved no one is believing him. Then again if you're serious about someone, you wouldn't care about what others thought. And he's smart enough to know that.

Or maybe this is his comment on Brexit but without saying anything. Because he can never express a personal point of view or opinion explicitly out of fear of being "divisive".

>>12 It didn't but I think he thought it would. He's been drinking too much of Taylor's Kool-aid if he thinks his fanbase will respond like Taylor's does to her when she throws out a rallying cry.

http://www.people.com/article/taylor-swift-tom-hiddleston-romance-real-deal

Aaaaaand here we go

>>10 He avoids those, but we are way after the fact and come on, nobody believes he was in the Brexit camp, if not for political reasons, for economical ones. Britain cinema and tv industry very loudly expressed how Brexit is going to be a disaster for them, less money to spend and more difficulties employing foreign artists.

But like NewAnon said, he was counting on the ambiguity, so later he could say he was talking about one or the other.

>>15 "A Hiddleston pal" - when, pray, has he seen any pal, or even his own publicist (assuming that by now he has no actual friends left) in the last month? Another plant from her side, I am guessing.

What does Luke even do, now?

Even Kaiser shaded him about this tweet!
http://www.celebitchy.com/494824/us_weekly_tom_hiddleston_is_going_to_propose_to_taylor_swift_very_soon/

>>15 What I notice in these articles is that they always illustrate how TS feels, only her state of being is ever mentioned.

>>17 Luke was at the 4th of July party, but yeah it's her leaking.

>>15 The Hiddleston pal says it's all very fast and public and then an insider, and I'm assuming this one is a Swift pal is all they have fun energy, she's ecstatic and giddy.

LOL! If those are true summarizations of how their respective camps feel then maybe the end is nigh.

>>19 Same here. It's always HER perspective and how it's all affecting her. It's the Taylor Swift show and Tom is guest starring in it. I think it's been her show since day one and Tom doesn't get much of a say. Not publicly at least.

someone on CB correctly observed that now Tom has started using emoticons on his tweets, the end is nigh.

>>22 he finally found a way to be brief

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/music/news/is-tom-hiddleston-about-to-propose-to-taylor-swift/

'Rupert Hawksley ‏@ruhawksley 7m7 minutes ago
Thing is, I write these articles but am I in on the joke?'

'Earlier today, meanwhile, Hiddleston tweeted his approval for an article in The Guardian with the headline: "How technology disrupted the truth". Is this a clue that their relationship is an elaborate prank at the expense of the Internet?
If Hiddleston wants to quash these rumours, there is only one thing for it: put a ring on it. '

What if he's already proposed and now they're easing people towards it so that when its announced its not completely out of left field?

Lol will he still refuse to comment on her when she's his fiancé and then wife?

However, based on People, I'd say there's no proposal coming. But rather a breakup. The wording of that one was just very telling.

And then TMZ publishes this as claims coming from Taylor's side http://m.tmz.com/#article/2016/07/13/taylor-swift-calvin-harris-this-is-what-you-came-for-wrote-song-rihanna/

For the record, I don't think Taylor would ever write a song and not publicly claim credit for it. Especially one that's such a huge hit.

All of this combined, the Tom romance and the marriage leaks and the Calvin digs, all make for a very interesting perspective told by Taylor.

What is going on? Can someone hold me? I feel lost and afraid.

He has the radio interview today - or tomorrow in Oz time. Let's see what delights that brings. More stuttering, more uncertainty, maybe an engagement announcement. Maybe TayTay will join him as a surprise. Impromptu (that they've been practicing for weeks) country and western duet, anyone?

>>27 If we see him with his guitar and TS in tow we might have to get ready for a duet, song: I Saw the Light. Followed by a RT of an article about how social media killed people appreciation of indies gems like ISTL. Everyone is so mean!

>>28 Jesus, Mary & Joseph, that better not happen.

>>27 It's ok, you are suffering from PTSD. Post tweet scepticism & distrust.

I read about this condition on Twitter.

If there is a live performance, hang onto your eardrums. It will be the autotuned leading the tone deaf:

http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/taylor-swifts-vmas-performance-with-her-vocals-isolate-1626334694

>>31 So they DO have something in common.

Calvin getting messy on Twitter. Amazing.

From the resurrected Theoanons, who seems over it.

http://theoanons.tumblr.com/post/147347167582/adam-confirms-that-tswift-also-sings-on-this-is

>>33 It's all so messy. When it's all said and done - whatever the outcome - I feel everyone involved is going to need to pitch in for one of those cleaning services that deal with crime scenes...violent crime scenes.

I admire the fact that Harris won't go down without a fight, that he won't let her PR paint him as the bad guy so she can play victim and win back the favour of the media.

Shame on TH for being part of this.

I love this!! The oversharing! The messiness! The ex-BF!

Is Calvin sitting at home swigging rosé wine alternatively with eating Pringles straight from the tube with one hand and peanut m&ms with the other?

Yeah, I'd say she's over it: http://theoanons.tumblr.com/post/147340336922/aka-i-can-use-and-manipulate-the-media-and-social

Going by the updates at CB's post about this, TS's party confirmed this to People, before Harris reaction
http://www.people.com/article/taylor-swift-wrote-calvin-harris-this-is-what-you-came-for

I'm all for Calvin standing up for himself. She dtags her exes and always makes them out as horrible people and we only ever hear one side of the story. I don't get why Tom got himself involved in all this. He was finally flying high. Did he even know things were this messy and unfinished with Calvin? Or is he being blindsided by all this too?

I'm so surprised that Taylor didn't take credit for the song originally. Did their whole breakup happen over this? So many questions!

>>40 even if she originally agreed and now changed her mind she could have contacted Harris and told him. She took the royalties anyway, so it's not a matter of money.

Here's The Wirk:

Just tweeted by Unicef Ireland, here's a youtube of Tom from the Thor 3 set where he dons the Loki wig:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTX23Rc2CRc

>>40 I totally agree. I am not dragging Calvin here, just laughing at the soap opera craziness of it. Actually I admire him for going down swinging. Another instance of TayTay sending mixed messages. I want to be anonymous....until I don't.

And no, I don't get why TH has involved himself in this, save that we have all met the idiot who goes out with the person who just broke up messily, or somehow ends up being the catalyst for the breakup. It never ends well for that person, does it?

>>42

Hahahahahaha!!! And here, too, is the Charidee Wirk!!

>>40 I am too NewAnon. I love Calvin being a messy queen right now but bless him for expressing himself better than TH:

"And she sings on a little bit of it too 🙃
Amazing lyric writer and she smashed it as usual"

"I wrote the music, produced the song, arranged it and cut the vocals though. And initially she wanted it kept secret, hence the pseudonym"

"Hurtful to me at this point that her and her team would go so far out of their way to try and make ME look bad at this stage though 🤔"

"I figure if you're happy in your new relationship you should focus on that instead of trying to tear your ex bf down for something to do"

"I know you're off tour and you need someone new to try and bury like Katy ETC but I'm not that guy, sorry. I won't allow it"

"Please focus on the positive aspects of YOUR life because you've earned a great one"

"God bless everyone have a beautiful day"

>>42 LOL so predictable!

On the other hand, Calvin, you're being a petty messy queen. :)

And right now on Twitter, the top two trends are:

1. Calvin Harris
2. #TaylorSwiftIsOverParty

>>47 Sadly in London right now the top trend is #Cameron. Not even #DavidCameronisOverParty.

Genuine question: has TS ever had this level of scorn poured upon her? Both for her ways with her exes and for her manipulation of the media?

And random thought: how I would laugh if they both ended up on the scrap heap together. She the tarnished princess and he the not so Disney prince.

>>48 Don't know, Anon. I never gave a rat's ass about her until TH started dating her. Never followed anything she said or did on MSM or social media.

Is this why Taylor decided to hit out at Calvin? Because he may be moving with an older hotter woman? http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/calvin-harris-parties-with-nicole-scherzinger-details-w212644

Even if Calvin and Nicole are just friends, with Taylor's maturity levels, she'd still be pissed anyways. I agree with Calvin on if you're so happy in your new relationship, why are you bothering attacking and leaking things about your ex? Like Couch said, it's not like she was being deprived of her royalties. She just wants attention and she wants Calvin to cry over her. Again all about her as usual.

>>48 Never at this level where the media is calling her out. Usually she was pretty paced out with a new romance roll out. You'd get a few leaks here and here then a pap stroll once a month or once maybe every 2-3 weeks. With the Kennedy kid, it was pretty fast paced but still not as aggressively fast as it was with Tom. And most of the time, the media and public believed her and didn't care too much. But now it's a whole different vitriol. I think it's because she put on a whole show of maturing and learning from her mistakes. She really didn't date for almost 2 years and cultivated a healthy image of a girl growing up and hanging out with friends and getting to know herself better. Then Calvin happened and their relationship was her longest ever with her saying this is her private thing and she doesn't believe in letting the public into her private space now.
Then suddenly, she flips back exactly to her 15 yr old self after the breakup and wants the media to buy her drivel again and this time the general public is done.

So TH is in 2 conundrum:

1) People believe this relationship to be PR/fake because of their aggressive PR/fakeness and the more they try to make it
look real the more PR/fake it feels.

2) If this is a relationship and not a ruse for a video, if he breaks up now that TS is getting flack, people will say it was PR/fake, if he doesn't it looks like he is ok with her PR shenanigans.

A mess of his own doing and I'm curious to see how it ends.

In response to the Mirror reporting that TH is planning to propose to TS very soon, Tom's PR said the following:

reps for Tom told us: "We don’t comment on baseless speculation regarding our client’s private life."

Wow. Sounds like a denial from Camp Tom to me. TS's team has not responded yet. What are these two up to? TH is trying to save his serious thespian credibility Loki fans with the Unicef video? Is THs posting of the guardian article a signal to people not to believe everything they read about the relationship (bit odd given the Romance Tour?) Is Taylor just trying to one-up Calvin Harris? Are the engagement rumors from TS's camp sent out just to try to prove to the world that they are together? Will this help with the Emmy nomination? It's all so messy, the TS /CH feud is a high school. So sad.

I am unable to say this without laughing, but tomorrow TS is going to wake up to an Instagram full of snake and poo emojis.

From Heat mag: http://theoanons.tumblr.com/post/147354862827/lemonade-time-gdi-the-security-guards-are-onto

The description of the enforced fun at the party is hilarious. Couple of revealing quotes: Taylor is happy because she is "in control" (you don't say!) and Tom is "along for the ride." He is happy to be on her Instagram (you don't say! etc).

>>54 I'm waiting for her stans to start a new hashtag, #TakeThatAdam

I guess Tom is still in there somewhere trying to keep some control over the situation lol http://www.gossipcop.com/tom-hiddleston-proposing-taylor-swift-engaged/

"Darling I'll do your choreographed pap strolls but I am NOT proposing just to one up your ex."
"But Tom wwwhhhhyyyyy! Adam is being a meanie poopy! Please don't you love me? I thought you loved me!"

>>53 where was this response from THìs people?

>>55 Sure, we totally believe that TH doesn't care about what's being written about him, as the RT of the Guardian article clearly proves.

>>58 In this article: http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/tom-hiddleston-planning-propose-taylor-8412652

For purposes of comparison with TS's completely OTT security: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/07/13/queen-surprises-pub-goers-by-dropping-into-her-local-in-edinburg/

>>60 To be fair .. after the events in Orlando, I have no doubt that TS has some insane fane and would not begrudge her the security if she is going to socialise in public places. She's already had people breaking into her house I think, so it must be horrible to always be looking over your shoulder when people approach you with a smile.

As for the whole sorry twitter mess - what is VERY clear is that on some level, TS and CH are so not done with each other yet - poor Tom seems very much to be stuck in the middle of these two's very un-acrimonious uncoupling.

A proposal after one month of dating though ? Poor poor .. Jane.

>>60 You know that martini was for her - gin!!

>>61 I don't think the events in Orlando have too much bearing on her situation. As with everything Tay - it's over the top. She, I'm sure, has obsessed fans but does she need to have 3-4 security guards with her all the time? Does she need to send one out running with her bf?

I wouldn't be surprised if it's her attempt to avoid fans, reporters, etc. As one of the articles said, fans couldn't approach her for autographs because she was surrounded. It's probably a very easy - albeit expensive - way to avoid having your meal interrupted by autograph hunters.

>>61 The Queen has had someone try to assassinate her (she was on horseback in a parade at the time and remained completely calm while the horse and everyone around her went nuts). She also had a crazy guy climb into her bedroom at Buckingham Palace at night. Again she stayed completely calm, talking to him until he asked for a cig. She sloped off to get one and raised the alarm. The threat to her life is probably fifty-fold. I am afraid I think she is made of much sterner stuff.

>>62 Of course the martini was for the Queen! The Queen Mother always used to have a giant gin and Dubonnet before any formal lunch. I think HMQ acquired her fondness for gin from her. HMQ also still likes the odd cig as well. Good for her.

>>61 Re: Orlando - the singer Christine Grimme who was killed in Orlando the day before the club massacre - is that what you were referring to? If so, I totally agree.

From Cosmo, an article labeling CH as a fuckboy http://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/a61325/calvin-harris-taylor-swift-taking-sides/

>>65 The 'author's' failure to see that her argument is inverted AND her twitter account tells me everything I need to know about this article - that it's not worth the internet bytes it takes up.

>>61 Grimme's death would certainly be a reason for security - on stage, backstage, at fan events, etc. But 3-4 bodyguards everywhere TS goes? That's her paranoia and her desire to construct a bubble around herself. It also serves to infantilize her. The guards tell the fans no, the guards tell the patients not to tweet, the restaurant not to mention what she ordered, the guards hold her sweater, etc.

>>66 In a country with extremely tight gun laws compared to the US, yes, it's overkill. In her mind, she's erring on the side of caution and probably saying 'this is what my parents would want.' Hell, maybe her parents insisted on it. I'll bet that when she took TH to visit them to announce that she would be living and traveling with him for the next two months or so and it was going to be very public, they probably begged her to take the whole detail.

>>67 That meeting with her parents. Yeah, I don't buy that. With his we got nearly every relative minus the 3rd cousin, and several pap strolls. With hers, all we got was an article saying she brought them back to meet him at her apartment. No pics, no strolls. Nada. Did it even happen?

Dlisted comments:

'A good friend of mine has a friend, a very small-time musician, who dated Taylor around the early 2010's. He was a fool for her and thought it was super real, and asked her if he could start telling people that they were together. The minute he asked, she said "If you tell ANYONE about this, I will fucking BURY you." And he got the FUCK out of that real quick. Like homegirl has some legit SATAN in her chicken bones. But from Calvin's tweet, I really have a feeling that her secret evil tagline is "I will bury ______".
Like, he didn't even mean tell ~the press~ because he didn't know anything about that stuff, he literally meant like his best friend or his mother. When my friend told the story apparently every person at the table who works in the biz looked at him like "yep, classic psycho Taylor".
Apparently her evil Strawberry Shortcake persona is rill as fuck!'

'Met a celebrity I always speculated was terribly calculated and mean, and they exceeded all my expectations of rudeness and arrogance. HATE

— Edward Droste (@edwarddroste) February 9, 2015

He already confirmed it's Taylor ..but wow I always thought he's a drama queen about that "desire to destroy" part.'

>>59 thanks

>>67 It definitely is, UK has a no gun law, Italy has a very restricted gun law, OZ has a no gun law. And as Anon. pointed out sending a bodyguard along when your bf goes running isn't about protection, but control masked as protection, that way she has eyes-and-ears over everything TH will be doing, for example chatting with another girl.

>>68 it is strange isn't it? The absence of photos of that meeting with her parents, actually more than strange suspicious.

There must be a contract with TH, no person with a minimum of brain will be able stay with this wacko and have feeling for her.

Here he goes running again, before the radio show I supoose

He twitted his UNICEF video in which he is sporting a distractingly volcanic pimple. Get onto it makeup!

Back to daily sucky tweets- reeking of desperation.
Is this the new pap stroll?
I imagine TS is not fit for public after been dragged further than ever before with the #TaylorSwiftIsOverParty and CH and KPerry burn.

>>78 I was transfixed by the boil. Its slopes look too mountainous to hide with makeup. He always gets it in the same place, usually when he has been wearing makeup for months and/or appears to be really tired and out of condition (it had a guest role in the later scenes of CP). I did think it wasn't a good sign that it has showed up just after the "holiday". Not enough rest and quiet, and too many pap strolls.

Presumably TS is back at the hotel putting pins in her Calvin doll.

>>78 do you think that he realizes that to be an effective UNICEF ambassador people need not to take you as a famewhore joke?

>>79 Presumably TS is back at the hotel putting pins in her Calvin doll. LOL while saying "I will bury you" with a voice straight from The Exorcist

>>79 There's a product that creates temporary scars that indents the skin. We use it on craterous pimples to reduce the swelling and dry them up. I'd say it's a stress pimple considering his circumstances!
For sure she's into voodoo.
I do find it odd that in all the time she has been in Oz she's only been seen twice and both times were deliberate on her part. She must be going out daily and managing to stay under the radar.

Conspicuously inconspicuous.

>>81 Or staying in. I do wonder if she is the type not to want to venture into Outdoors unless there is a specific project in mind (dinner, pap stroll, shopping trip). Also she has "done" Australia last year so she probably can't be bothered with sightseeing. She is probably facetiming the cats and surfing wedding dress websites.

Maybe the pimple is is the "after" stage! What was it like before? Were communities living on its lower slopes?

Now I know why the pimple is back: it has a role in the Marvel universe.

http://gitsie007.tumblr.com/post/147387102028

>>82 That volcano is pre- eruption and they need to get onto that product stat or Loki will be sporting a pussy face.
She does strike me as a neurotic housepet who only ventures out of her Rapunzel tower when led by the hand.
No doubt she's online shopping for the wedding since the date is already set and practising her 'surprise face' in the mirror for the imminent proposal which will be in a very public open air space- most likely a beach on some rocks

Are we talking about the 'zits' on the right side of his face near his mouth? I haven't watched the video yet. I'm a little put off by everything and can't be bothered. But I think those aren't temporary but are like cysts of some type, maybe sebacious that are smaller or bigger depending on factors. My husband has one on the side of his chin. It's always there but flares up/ expands when he's not eating right or his skin is unbalanced for some reason.

I've written to much about a pimple. Shame.

Bless him for the Hesback hashtag. Don't think it's going to get much traction in the current twitterverse. Maybe it would trend if Katy Perry retweeted it in some evil genius attempt to burn TS.

And I got four retweets in before TS was mentioned. Four.

Captcha: shite

>>85 they're the ones. I noticed he always gets them in the same place. I assumed it was because he had damaged the pore by picking and now always gets a spot in the same location, but maybe he has a cyst. Definitely any flare up of whatever it is, is caused by stress/tiredness/bad eating.

He should have spent his time in LA visiting Doctor Pimple-Popper (cf YouTube) and not banging TS on the down low while she was still with CH. Then voilà - good skin and no stress!

What have we come to when we are talking about his pimples and not his work?

Missed an O in >>85. Double shame.

I think TS might be holed up in the suite as well. Could be writing music, could be fashioning voodoo dolls. Defo reading her Twitter mentions from fans to calm herself and shouting down the line to her publicist to 'fix this!'

I'd heard that she employs a company in Santa Monica that is responsible for creating positive SM mentions. They need to get to work. The DM comments alone would cause famous person paranoia, add in Twitter and IG and she's probably ready to scratch her own skin off.

>>86 I just saw the hashtag. Nice try, Tom
. Might as well add #nopooemojisformyGFpleasethankyou and have done with it.

Oh bless, I hadn't noticed he tried to drown out the #TaylorSwiftIsOverParty with #HesBack

I can't help but notice his likes for these UNICEF videos have dropped from 28k to 17k to 4.1k so yeah good luck with that hashtag

>>87 His werk...what werk? He has been omnipresent as tabloid fodder for a month so I feel inane discussions of his appearance are more than relevant.

>>85 I'm going to keep an eye on this pimple/ cyst to see how it progresses. It does seem to vanish completely which points more towards a 'trouble spot' for adult acne.
He usually frequents the beauty salon, dearest TH. I imagine he has let that slide for the last month while his hands were glued to TS. Unless they had a hand holding spa date.

>>90 Well he had a spa date with EO back in December 14. So maybe....

Years ago Mr Anon and I were staying in Bangkok and the hotel offered us their his and hers spa suite. We looked at each other in horror and simultaneously wailed "nooooooo!" Some things, such as having your extractions done, are not meant to be enjoyed à deux.

https://twitter.

And just like that some candids of TS out shopping (for wedding dresses) appear.
Mysteriously, this was apparently HOURS AGO

Wearing an overall, of course.

She was doing shopping on a lawn at night?
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CnUtdOhXgAAVvnu.jpg:large

>>92 Yes, she was happy with it until she decided 48 hours ago that a news cycle couldn't pass without her name being in it. If she was offended about the interview he gave months ago, saying he couldn't see himself working with her in future (which is the BS reason given by the Swifties for reneging on the anonymity) why not make a deal of it then? Or sooner after she had split with him? Why now?

I bet she can't stop talking about Calvin and obsessing about what he's up to now. Things a new boyfriend always loves hearing.

>>94 It's beyond my comprehension... the 'shop' appears to be a store room with a vacuum hose (is she having a backyard abortion?) and in that photo I think she is using her purse as a mobile phone

I found the interview
http://onairwithryan.iheart.com/media/play/26951110/

and what he said was: "You know, we haven't even spoken about it," he admitted. "I can't see it happening though. No. She's about to take a long break."

>>93 >>94

The overalls have many purposes:

1) pregnancy outfit.
2) useful pockets to store Tom's balls/Calvin doll/etc
3) don't all middle aged soccer moms dress like this?

>>95 Yeah, I imagine she has a virtual drawer full of things to use in case she needs to paint herself as a victim in case of bad press.

>>96,98 #1 is probably the main goal, gotta support those "Tom totally wants to have kids with me" leaks, but #2 is more fun!

>>97 It's a shame his team isn't as onto it as you. This quote would have disjointed a lot of swifty noses and journalists who have misquoted and used it to prove their lame theories.

Here's the 'OMG Tay left her bedroom' article in the Fail

According to a comment on CB the Thor 3 cast plus SOs went to the cinema this evening (as it is now in Oz). Booked out the whole place and came in through the loading bay.

Here we are: https://twitter

I call bs until I see a pic.
Chris drunk? With his kids around? When tomorrow is a workday? His kids up until late at night?
It's 00:51 now in Oz, even if the film started 2 hours ago that's very late for little kids.

>>106 http://theopdo.tumblr.com/post/147395833879/timeline-doesnt-add-up-and-were-not-allowed-to

Also Tom wasn't with her when she was shopping, so if she came straight to the theater from her shopping trip he'd have gone to the theater separately.

>>107 The Opinion Dominion is back? As well as her side blog todspeaks? Mad world. Is it really her, I wonder? Her side blog said she was not coming back.

TH got the Emmy nomination! Yay!

Yeah, I think those are sebaceous cysts. They seem to be ever present, but change size according to different reason - like my husband's. My husband asked about getting his drained or removed at the dermo but decided against it because they can come right back a few weeks following the procedure.

The old radio interview at the Oz radio that was supposed to air today was postponed to next week.

This is fun

>>93 The constant hair and face touching with TS reminds me of Waity Katie. This girl must be so self-conscious and in need of constant approval. It's strange then that she so often thrusts herself into the limelight. I guess her need for attention and adoration is stronger than the self-consciousness.

To be nominated and have people say that TayTo is behind it,
To not be nominated and have people say that TayTo is behind it,
Such difficult times.

Anyway, now in all likelihood TayTo will stay together at least until Sept. so TS will be able to walk the red carpet with him.

I personally found his Pine to be woody and not his best work compared to what he did in the Hollow Crown, but whatever.

The other nominations for his category, courtesy of torrilla
http://ww4.sinaimg.cn/bmiddle/6e14d388gw1f5tv57ihw0j20go0b4q42.jpg

TNM also got its nomination. I don't get how can give the show a nominations and not give a nomination to Hugh Laurie and Coleman.

So the TayTo gravy train will run on for a while longer.

He won't win, surely. I would have thought Courtney Vance has it in the bag.

>>109 I'm glad he got a nom. TNM was good entertainment. But this year is probably going to be all The People v OJ. I recently watched it in a binge and it was excellent. I didn't think I'd like it, but it was so watchable and compelling. Vance must be the front runner for this category.

>>113 If they are still together come Sept., I wonder if it would KILL him to have her by his side on the red carpet. The attention and flashbulbs would be crazy but they wouldn't be for him or his nomination or THE WORK! They'd be for Tayto. Any press he did along the red carpet wouldn't be about TNM or his character, but about Tayto.

>>114 I don't even remember what I gave the cast during my by-the-numbers reviews, but I seem to recall they were mostly B to A-. The few exceptions being Coleman and Hollander. I thought HL was a bit hammy throughout - a little too moustache twirling for me.

>>115 Great minds...

He's got the nomination! You guys think he'll get papped with Taylor now? It'll overshadow his nomination for sure. Just like she'll overshadow him at the Emmys red carpet.

>>113 Couch, I agree that it wasn't his best - though I blamed it on the direction. I think Bier directed him to play Pine's emotions so close to the vest that Tom's normally expressive face didn't get much of a workout unless he was with Elizabeth Dubecki, or when he was crying at the death of the first girlfriend in Ep. 1. The rest of the time, his 'steely' Bond-esqe face was really steely at all.

>>115 I'll be surprised if Vance doesn't get it.

• wasn't really steely at all

>>116 A battle of ego on the red carpet, that would make it worth watching.

I found nobody really stood out, they were good just not outstanding enough for an award (except for Hollander, but only until his character made sense)
TNM was entertaining but in a soap-opera way, with the aesthetic captivating enough to cover for the bad adaptation to modern times and the poor script. It never felt tensed the way a spy thriller is supposed to be (and I read the book too in preparation).

I guess my point is that since TH had as much screen time as Coleman and Laurie, if you nominate the show then I expect more than just one actor to be considered.

>>115 I think so too, but the power of TayTo knows no limit.

>>119 Could be, I tended to think it was his way to go back and forth between his real identity and himself. But Pine felt inconsistent, like a boy playing at being a spy. A NYT journalist did a review of each episodes, her review of the last one is hilarious. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/25/arts/television/the-night-manager-finale-recap.html

Anyway, someone decided it was worth a nomination, so be it, it compensates the lack of one for The Hollow Crown.

I think Coleman and Laurie have noms too in supporting actress/actor categories?

>>117 Jinx!

I am so glad you loved OJ. It is the only to series I have ever seen which made me think, that is exactly what it is like to be a trial lawyer. And Sterling K Brown, who played Chris Darden, was just wonderful as well (and the spitting image of CD!). I have to say it made TNM look clunky and not like much of a thriller, especially bearing in mind we all know what happened to OJ.

>>123 Oh, yes you are right!

>>123 Twelve nominations for the show:
http://nw3anon.tumblr.com/post/147401104484/12-emmy-nominations-for-the-night-manager#notes

Theoanons has now deleted all her posts. The tumblr dramas in this fandom are scary. I know she said she would shut up shop again if opinion dominion got going, but why not just delete the whole thing? It makes no sense.

I am really not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing. Josh Horowitz caught up with TH and the subject of TS came up....

https://twitter.

com/joshuahorowitz/status/753642701590069248

>>128 Sleepy? What time would it have been over there if he posted this an hour ago? I would expect that he's going to make the relationship official by saying that they are dating which is obvious (I guess) but still needs to come from the horse's mouth. Perhaps he'll talk about all the accusations that it's fake but that would surprise me.

Or he might just do the good old TH thing and say, 'I'm just going to keep my private life private.'

I wonder what this is in aid of. Kong? His Emmy nom? Maybe to make it official with a friendly face rather than an unknown Aussie reporter.

>>127 Theoanons is now gone. I think she said in her first return post that she was only sticking around until another blog popped up for anons and messages. She was probably happy to see the Opinion blog resurface as she seemed over all the shit.

Fawning Variety interview:

http://variety.com/2016/tv/awards/tom-hiddleston-night-manager-emmy-noms-1201814443/

>>129 It would be 10 hours ahead of GMT so 4.30am when JH posted. Possibly somewhat earlier when they spoke, as Variety said it spoke to him at 3.30am. But the middle of the night.

I am assuming he will say "yes, we're going out with each other and I'm very happy." And then give that nervous and now Emmy-nominated laugh/cough. I agree he's unlikely to say more. Why give traction to rumours by denying them? Then JH will ask him if they are going to do a duet and he will again go eheh and that will be the end.

However, a major first for him to actually say the words, "I am going out with..." There's a certain kind of man that is too phobic to admit that. I can't decide if he was that guy, still is that guy but has been forced into it by TS, or if he was just into pretending he was single for the image till he got a GF that he thought worth revealing for PR.

>>130 so they went to the cinema after all.

A straight confirmation would be nice, so we can make better fun of him pretending not to be interested in the circus of being a celebrity. Too bad he wasn't asked about Harris.

>>129 As to why: in the clusterfuck that is Tom's publicity, who knows exactly. It seems likely JH has a direct line to his people and could get an i'vue at short notice off the back of the nomination.

My own theory is that he knows he will be asked about TayTo, and soon, because of the Emmy nom, the filming and ComicCon, so he needs to get it over with quickly, like a trip to the dental hygienist. I think he hopes that it will be buried under the good news of the nomination - "a good day to bury bad news".

As to that: good luck! Recent events suggest that if you feed the beast, even with crumbs, it just gets hungrier.

>>130 So he's already doing press for TNM. That didn't take long...and didn't give a nod to time zones/sleeping patterns.

It will be interesting to see how the Tayto show behaves now that he's got to promote TNM for an Emmy and Kong. More, less, the same? Impact, no impact?

>>131 He always called Susannah his 'girlfriend' in interviews. But then his career sort of became his girlfriend and while there was the blessed one and EO, for some reason no one else got that oh so special designation ever again - at least not in public. So it will be interesting to see how he phrases the 'making it official' comment.

I am laughing at this one: the daily run is because no nookie!

http://zerofucksclub.tumblr.com/post/147405357971/what-im-getting-from-toms-demeanor-in-recent

>>128 Oh boy, the comments behind Josh's tweet. Someone manip'd an " I <3 PR " t-shirt on an old image.

>>136 Or bad nookie.

"We are together and we are very happy"

http://www.mtv.com/news/2905099/tom-hiddleston-emmy-nomination-the-night-manager/

>>136 If he has a gf, the stans seek solace in "well maybe they're not having sex yet" And when he was "maybe could be kinda dating" the great JArthy and then Lizzie, it was "oh well sure he's fucking them but he doesn't love them"

Some shred of hope to hold onto that maybe this one is lacking somehow in perfect gf potential for TH.

>>131 The timing of the interview shows that it's impromptu. Is he doing it for his Emmy nom or is he doing it because Taylor wants positive press after yday's international roast and wants Tom to give her some lip service to show how happy he is with Taylor and his Emmy nom but mostly Taylor because he's just so happy right now because Taylor because she's so charming and talented and wonderful and he's just so happy with her. Because it's one thing if she casually came up during the interview and wasn't advertised as one of points discussed. The fact that it's been made part of the headline in the tweet means it's a significant mention and needed to be called attention to. That's why I'm inclined to believe ulterior motive and not innocent oh hey let's celebrate Tom and his first Emmy. Confirming of relationship, talking it up, and dragging this til Emmy red carpet.

>>138 Yep. Let's gear up for more pap strolls and Emmy red carpet!

Another from the managing editor at E! News
https://twitter
.com/marcmalkin/status/753618699580432384

Funny how it takes him getting the Emmy nom to confirm. And right after the Calvin stuff too. The timing is exquisite.

>>138 Yes! Yesssss!

I should win some kind of a prize.

My prediction: "Yes we're going out with each other and I'm very happy"

His words: "We are together and we are very happy."

Years of observation of the Hiddlemonster in the wild have paid off.

>>138 Yes! Yesssss!

I should win some kind of a prize.

My prediction: "Yes we're going out with each other and I'm very happy"

His words: "We are together and we are very happy."

Years of observation of the Hiddlemonster in the wild have paid off.

And have the prize immediately taken away for posting twice.

>>143 Can we compare to calvin's tweet?

"I figure if you’re happy in your new relationship you should focus on <snip>”

>>142 Too much, when you think until 2 days ago he'd rather talk about the werk.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/tom-hiddleston-taylor-swift-emmys_us_5787ca89e4b08608d3337d4a

Am I the only one that finds those words so generic and open to fan interpretation? Don't get me wrong, I've always said the relationship is real (I've had my doubts because of the crazy roll out and stunts but I still believe they are bf and gf.) But come on! This quote isn't going to stop the doubters or the showmance claims.

>>147 Definitely agree, but certainly trying to keep the buzz going strong. He got the Nom though, time to pony up on the relationship front I guess.

>>149 It's pretty bland yeah.

But apparently there's podcast that will be aired later? So maybe there's a bit more there.

>>149 Yep. That is precisely how I guessed so accurately what he would say. What do you say to your nosey co-worker to shut down the conversation? He can't say to Josh of all people that he won't comment, as that would make him look a prize moron (and anyway he set this up to get the news out, let's face it).

He has to say they are an item and he has to say something about how great that is, or he will get headlines like "Tom Hiddleston confirms relationship, sounds as enthusiastic as burn victim." But he also has to say nothing becaus, you know, his privacy. So he says they are happy. Which says nothing, because if you aren't happy 1 month into a relationship, then wtf?

>>139 I don't think it was completely impromptu. I'd say that they maybe had them lined up for if the Emmy nod happened. The timing is about getting interviews and quotes out as quickly as possible after the announcement.

I think he could have also given her a bigger hand if he wanted to take some heat off of her and the Taylor Swift if Over party. While 'we're together and very happy' is an acknowledgement of the relationship and its current status, it isn't the greatest declaration of love I've ever heard. But then it would be a good thing is Tay said to him, you take the spotlight, you don't need to defend me. I'd give her props for that.

When it rains... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8moGfBJuuJM

The Kardashians are coming for you Tay!! It's like an epic fight between a crazy attention whore and another set of crazy attention whores.

>>152 Maybe he could've had it set up already in preparation for the Emmy nom but making Taylor part of the headline alongside his work? That seemed forced. Like one tumblr commented on The Opinion Dominion "it sounds like he was strong armed into giving lip service to something we already knew" Especially since it comes after Calvin calling them out. Not to mention if you look at Calvin questioning the happiness of the new couple in light of the awkward mess with the media questioning him about Taylor.

The timing just couldn't be more messy for all of this.

>>153 am I the only one who finds this Waaay more credible after this stuff with Calvin over that song came out?

Tom Hiddleston on Relationship With Taylor Swift: "It's Not a Publicity Stunt"

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/tom-hiddleston-relationship-taylor-swift-911185

>>156 LOL so all those organised papstroll with his mother just happened.

>>156 "look, the truth is that Taylor Swift and I are together, and we're very happy. Thanks for asking. That's the truth. It's not a publicity stunt."

Lol did he just call his gf by her full name? Who does that?

>>150 yeah, the bad reactions to his his impromptu press conference outside the hotel must have taught him that he can't make it about just the werk anymore. I can't wait for SDCC.

>>158 Someone who is trying to convince the world this is not PR?

Am I the only one who is actually side-eying this more now?

>>161 anonsy: http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/chloe.gif

>>158 Has the Hollywood a Reporter heard the full tape, though? It seems slightly unlikely MTV would share their scoop with HL. HL could have made up the "not a publicity stunt" part to get clicks today. Nobody will care about an article tomorrow saying "watch the interview, he didn't quite say that."

Also, remember that interview a few months ago,which turned out to be a group effort, and all of the reporters transcribed it slightly differently? That could explain the "Taylor Swift" bit even if HL did get the podcast.

>>163 Scratch that - kind of.

HR says it was talking to him. But he said almost exactly the same words to JH. Was this another group interview or has he had these answers written on a card and he says the exact same sentence to each reporter? In which case SIDE EYE

>>162 LOL exactly. I think I've been making that face since the pap stroll with his mother.

Oh, and this was weird too.

THR: Do you know who you're going to take with you to the Emmys?

Tom: I don't. I didn't even know I could. It's 4 in the morning here! (Laughs.)

THR: You're in the middle of a cultural frenzy right now dating Taylor Swift...

(Tom, internally: Oh shit! That's right, I'm dating Taylor Swift! Forgot about her. I should have said I was taking her to the Emmy's. God, I've gotta stop doing these 4am interviews, I can't even keep my story straight. Shit. Shit. I fucked up. I'd better fix this, or Miss Swift won't allow me out for my morning run! What's my script say? Ah yes, "we're together and very happy." Very happy, mustn't forget that, Thomas.)

Full interview with HR here:

He must be tired because he said this: "Q: Do you know who you're going to take with you to the Emmys? A: I don't. I didn't even know I could. It's 4 in the morning here! (Laughs.)"

Taylor will be sticking pins in the gonads of the TH doll for days! Or possibly his actual gonads.

>>166 Sorry link is here: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/tom-hiddleston-talks-emmy-nomination-911178

>>165 Jinx!!!

>>164 I'm going with Conference call with TS and LW listening in.

Yesterday (Wednesday) I was home early and watched Entertainment Tonight - U.S., and they showed a promo of their upcoming coverage of SDCC. They mentioned key celebs and upcoming movies, and specifically mentioned 'Hiddleswift' while showing pictures of both TH & TS, implying they'd both be there without an actual confirmation directly from either one that they will.

If you were a fan of Skull Island or Thor 3 would you care about seeing their significant others at a con, especially if they have nothing to do with any of it?

So, is there any chance that she has something to do with any of the music for anything that might have any relevance to either movie?

http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2016/07/14/taylor-swift-ripped-down-my-photos-after-our-bye-bye-birdie-performance.html

>>164 Anon...maybe: http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/chloe.gif

Anyone else want in?

>>170 Yeah, quite.

Also throwing this thought out there: are we expecting HR to interview other worthy nominees today? I think I know the answer to that. How can he not see that the only - the ONLY - reason he is being interviewed about this nomination is because of his relationship with TS and every news outlet scrambling to get the first quote about TayTo.

"Dating Taylor Swift: a nightmare dressed like a daydream?"
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jul/14/taylor-swift-dating-boyfriends-calvin-harris

This is as scripted as the ISTL interviews were, only after 20 minutes not 20 days:

To EW: "It was one of the most fulfilling experiences of my short life as an actor" (Pine, not shagging TS).

To MTV: “It was a huge undertaking and an enormous labor of love and one of the proudest achievements of my short life and career.”

PS is he now saying "my short life and career" because of all those articles saying, this is his last chance before his hair falls out and he is over the hill?

"Of course by now you know that pop star Taylor Swift has been dating seventh-billed Marvel star Tom Hiddleston."

BURN.

This is all going so well.

>>171 The need for attention can be so overwhelming that when a person gets it, they either don't care how it comes about or don't see the source.

Luke probs called him and said 'people want to talk about your Emmy nom' and then said under his breath, 'and TS and your relationship.' TH probably didn't hear anything after 'Emmy nom' until TS, LW and her people were putting sound bites into his head.

>>176 I do hope somebody writes an Emmys so White article about how Idris, Cuba and Courtney got nominated and they only interviewed the whitest white guy there.

Glorious DM comments: http://theopdo.tumblr.com/post/147413016909

Among them: "if you have to confirm it's not a publicity stunt, then it probably is" and "you don't need her full name in your answer because she's your girlfriend, remember"

>>174 Eeek.

Comment in the Buzz:

'In 2018 this will either be
A) hilarious
B) overshadowed by their ginormous wedding and impending birth of quadruplets
C) overshadowed by B but also their divorce
D) we were all in the shower and it was just a dream'

Michael K:

'Also, Tom Hiddleston was nominated for The Night Manager, so if he and Taylor Swift haven’t married, had a baby and divorced by September, make sure you eat a light lunch on Emmy day. You’ll be heaving a lot when he drops to his knee on the red carpet and proposes to her as she gently caresses her pillow baby.'

>>181 Ouch. Hopefully he'll do it in private at one of her houses and all we'll get is a pic of her ring on her IG. Spare the press

A girl can hope , can't she?

In other news. after the radio interview from Thursday morning was postponed until next week, and then the Emmy announcements led to public statements about the relationship, another radio interview with he and his castmate showed up. At 4:00 Chris helps him dodge the TS question:

It's not much but they do say she's a pretty horrible person to work for.

"I love that they're both happy and free together," the supermodel said at a Pepsi event celebrating World Emoji Day. "It's amazing, I'm all about people being happy in love."

#HAPPY #SOHAPPY

I feel so dirty for laughing so hard.

http://www.2dayfm.com.au/scoopla/style/blog/2014/12/did-taylor-swift-get-jess-hart-fired-from-the-victorias-secret-show/

Having worked with Jess I can safely say 'what a bitch'. Jess is genuinely lovely and kind hearted with a great sense of humor. She has excellent taste though so I'm not surprised she dissed the Tay Tay.

>>165 anonsy I'm side eyeing this even more with you.
He doesn't know, LMAO! Is the breakup already planned?

>>168 She is going with him to SDCC, she is never going to let him out of her sight, are you kidding? The guy doesn't even go running without one of her bodyguards, imagine if he'll be allowed to go to a ComiCon with so many other attractive actresses he is friend with.

>>171 It's shameful that he was the only one contacted since the other were in better time zone to be talked to.

>>173 "my short life and career" yeah, he probably knows he burned his chances to anything else significant for a while.

>>182 when you are SO HAPPY that you need your pal to help avoid the only question anyone is interested into.

>>188 WOW! That's scary, and childish since the comment it's not offensive, just accurate.

I love that the media reacted the way we did, with even more scepticism. This is the Guardian's 5th article shading this.

I’ve been asking: “Is their relationship real or is it fake?” But these concepts do not apply here. It seems that much of what Taylor does is a game taking place in real life, or real life taking place in the form of a game. Perhaps, since everything is possible for her, everything is boring except bending reality just to see if it breaks, and employing human beings as actors, and actors as human beings.

That is: Hiddleswift is not a “video shoot”, as the BuzzFeed piece speculates. It is, rather, a showcase for Taylor’s patented brand of live action role playing that bleeds into “reality.”

>>188 why didn't we celebrate Emoji Day here on the board? 💕 to all of you, 💩 to TH calling his girlfriend "Taylor Swift."

>>192 I don't think Taylor knows when to give up. Its going to get even more cringeworthy and embarrassing to watch as this goes on.

After watching Taylor screw people over through the years with her power and ego trips, it's actually very satisfying watching her get roasted and dragged. Its all catching up to her. And Tom gets to be along for the ride.

>>193 #WORLDEMOJIDAY #SOHAPPY 🚽 💨 😶 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩 😴

🐍 💩

🎉 ♥️ 👏

>>192 I completely agree with this article. We're all chess pieces in the game. TH chose to participate and picked the wrong year because everyone is lashing out at TS for her past behaviour. On Sunday night, sadly, even Kim Kardashian might include the audio of TS acknowledging that she knew about Kanye's song in advance, and lied at the grammys!

1. I can't decide whether TH is just a hamm, and is enjoying being at the center of attention, for the woman who is at the center of attention of the world? Or,
2. If he thought it would be exciting to be with TS and run with her crowd, and is now happy about his nomination, but deeply concerned about losing his reputation (much like Cassio in Othello), and
3. How is it that a cultured man who speaks in paragraphs stammered, and ummed, and chuckled when he was supposed to confirm the relationship? Why can't he just commit to this narrative?

Will they split at all? Any guesses? Late August, early Sept, early Oct after the Emmys? Would love a hypothesis.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBGHaTU578U

Here's a psychic reading which seems as totally legit as the totally legit quotes direct from the source 💩

Imagine if JArthy or EO are about to drag his arse... please, pretty please DO IT

Morning all,
Do we have any French friends here? Thinking of you if so, after seeing the horrendous news this morning. Following Istanbul and Dhaka in the last few weeks, it seems like it will never stop.

On to more light hearted distractions - I think the interviews are awkward but genuine and I'm not reading too much into it. However, if she rocks up with him, limpet like, at ComicCon, then I will be convinced she is either preggers or that they are definitely getting married - and soon.

I think the Guardian article is right, she lives in an as much of an augmented reality as Pokemon Go! Tom is her Pikachu.

>>197 That was crazy and fascinating (she really starts on them at 8:00).

I don't think faithful Our Blessed JA is the one. I think she'll be forever silent for him and maybe he'll come back to her in the end.

EO already threw minor shade at him during the press tour for the Civil War movie back in the spring. She and Anthony Mackie were on one of the nighttime talk shows in the US; some hint of Tom was given for some reason and they both said "no we can't talk about him, we can't say his name." I'll look for the info tomorrow.

Or did someone track down one of his alleged many FWBs and dig up something juicy?

Maybe the gossip is someone with proof that he is having a fling with someone behind TS's back.

So if this psychic's readings were ballpark accurate all claims that they're both taking something out of this relationship - roles and music for Bond, plus a rebound relationship to upgrade from Calvin plus the sex - then predictions being made here are correct, down to saying how he's using her as a sugarmomma to gain fame.

>>199 Of course!
Miniature PhD girl!

>>198 I assume you mean if she goes to ComicCon and then returns to Oz because if she does that she is truly obsessed and unhinged.
I can't imagine willingly wanting to play a part in her augmented reality for love alone. Love is blind at times but it's not completely deaf and dumb as well.

>>196 Have a peruse around the smattering of fan forums left and you'll find all manner of predictions each as valid as the other since not one of us has an inside eye. My intuition is that both 1&2 play a part in his dedication to this role/ heartfelt romance.

>>200 Are you suggesting we are all psychic?

just remember
http://65.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m05ngyTYn41r5a08so1_1280.jpg

"People assumed it was about me getting well-known and leaving her behind" says Hiddleston

>>198 Awkward and genuine I agree with - in the sense that it is a genuine relationship, and oh yes he absolutely feels awkward having to talk about it.

I get off the love boat when I start looking at the hugely calculating and manipulative context in which the genuine relationship sits. For example someone has had a conversation with him in which he was told, if you get an Emmy nomination, you have to use any resulting interview to mention the relationship and shut down the bad publicity (ha!). So although the relationship is real, and the sentiment expressed is too, the circumstances are yet again manufactured.

I also look askance at the crapulous comment that actually was made after a month of absolutely shoving it down our throats. He's acting as if the paps stole some shots of them kissing and they've been hiding on a tropical island ever since, while the rumours swirl unprompted around them, so he has to make some comment which has been dragged from him against his will. Own your shit, man.

So she wasn't at the movies: CH says on Friday morning he hasn't met her yet.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3691306/Chris-Hemsworth-claims-star-Tom-Hiddleston-relishing-time-girlfriend-Taylor-Swift-continue-film-Thor-Ragnarok-Australia.html

>>203 I have never seen this before. He sounds like a bit of an arsehole TBH. "It's just that I am very driven right now." Who says that about themselves with a straight face? Also "it's not you, it's me." Always the best way to break up with someone.

New still from SI: http://violetsaffron73.tumblr.com/post/147439428869/lolawashere-tom-hiddleston-and-brie-larson-are

Is this going to be amazing or shit? His expression says "I am Acting and also flexing my bicep so you can see how much I've been working out recently."

>>207 I find these stills as confusing as his relationship. I know they had giant skull props so why does it look so fake?

>>208

Ridiculous poses and expressions.
Filter.
Bad costume design. This is meant to be set in the late 60s/early 70s but Brie Larson is wearing a costume straight out of Indiana Jones and the 1930s (I guess deliberately intended to evoke those movies). Photojournalists in the Vietnam War all wore flares: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2154400/Napalm-Girl-photographer-Nick-Ut-releases-work-Vietnam-war.html

>>205 Thank you for finding this, because I read that the guy who tweeted about Ts being at the cinema, later retracted saying he wasn't at the cinema but home. Plus the timeline didn't fit.
And if TH had just got home with her from the cinema, would he really say "I don't know who I'm bringing to the Emmy Awards?" to her face?

Now, why would TS miss out on a cinema offered by Hemsworth just to go shopping with her bodyguards? Next Tuesday is Elsa Patacky birthday, let's see if there's a party.

>>206 This one was interesting, because it appeared on the DM the day after Susannah went public with her new, and present, bf (who she only met at the beginning of February that year). On San Valentina that year TH tweeted a song of a day thing "Be My Baby" and then added "I'm not gonna say who xxx" (eyeroll).
I think they were on a break and he was making a last attempt to convince SF to stay with him. Iirc, at the time both TH and SF were represented by the same PR agency, so this little interview was probably coordinated.

>>209 It's a common problem of these blockbusters set in times too ancient to appeal to the millenials, ergo the modernized outifts, but who also needs to look realistic for the adults who might remember the world 50 years ago. Basically a mess, like TNM.

BTW thanks for the Michael K wake up call. Poor MK - I think he is starting to sound a little jaded, like Hunter S Thompson after Henry Kissinger got appointed.

>>202 I'm suggesting that the psychic has as much common sense as we do and should join us here, Anonon. Maybe she can teach us tarot on the side.

>>214 saved to my desktop. So we've already hit most of the bottom row.

Sigh. We'll be seeing more and more blinds like this now I'm assuming http://www.crazydaysandnights.net/2016/07/blind-item-1-1371.html

>>210 So the radio interview that Chris and Tom made where he says he hasn't met her and everyone is saying that proves TS did not come to the GB screening? The interview was pre-taped on Thursday before the movie, and people at the cinema tweeted that she was there. Someone on tumblr wrote a formal timeline but that's the gist of it.

>>218 Daily Fail reporting again. I did check and they specifically said they spoke within him on Friday morning. Can't get anything right.

>>217 I say go for it. Hit that one out of the park, Tayto. Get engaged RIGHT before the Emmy RC and then walk it together.

Give no thought to how Emmy bosses, voters, fellow actors, producers, etc will seeeeeeeth at your antics and sad grab for attention. Because the Emmy's should be about two people 'in lurve' and not about....what is it....the...the...the WORK.

It would be just another brilliant move in a series of brilliant moves for these two.

>>218 >>219 Is this maybe a matter of when it aired over in this hemisphere?

From what I understand 1 person tweeted that she was there. This same person said that he himself wasn't there, his friends were messaging him and his friends never actually saw her. He also said that CH was drunk during the outing. This person is also a massive TS fan.

That being said, I don't know why she wouldn't have gone along. And held his hand throughout the entire movie.

This from the sarcastic VF film/TV critic who declared TH gay a few days ago.

>>222 The celebuzz story is just off the tails of the Us story. It's not really an 'they're engaged story.' And it's from July 13, the same date as the GC post denying the Us story which was releases, I think, a day earlier.

>>224 right not 'they're engaged' but proposal plans.

Where and when would you need 11 bodyguards? Well, ET just reported that's what the #SOHAPPY couple needed to get into the theatre last night to see GB.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2016/07/15/calvin-harris-broke-all-the-rules-of-taylor-swifts-world-or-did-he/

'Everything in the Swift universe is shrouded in confusion these days, as observers wonder about her obsessively paparazzi-documented relationship with Hiddleston. By now, many assume it’s a PR stunt or performance art. It wasn’t helped by Hiddleston’s awkward interview with the Hollywood Reporter on Thursday, as he denied their relationship was for publicity, and made sure to use his famous girlfriend’s first and last name so everyone would know who he was talking about: “The truth is that Taylor Swift and I are together, and we’re very happy.”'

>>226 The 11 bodyguards rumor originates from the now proven semi- bogus tweets by the Swiftie cinema employee who has surely lost his job by now.

http://www.salon.com/2016/07/15/i_cant_bear_to_watch_hiddleswift_the_public_spectacle_of_love_tweet_delete_is_just_too_much/

"There are certain inevitable aspects of online life that are guaranteed to stress an individual out, to cause an elevated heart rate and tiny beads of sweat to appear above the upper lip. For me, they are: any post with more than two hashtags, the sight of someone else’s phone teeming with bright red, unread texts and emails, and primarily, happy photos of celebrity couples. If one half of that celebrity couple is Taylor Swift, multiply the cringe factor by about four.

Taylor Swift has survived, in different ways, Kanye West and John Mayer; she is made of very strong stuff. She doesn’t care about anyone’s judgment of her life choices or of her eagerness to share said life choices with millions of followers. She’ll be fine. But when I see those well-curated and disseminated photos of Tom Hiddleston on Instagram and elsewhere, merrily partying on Taylor Swift’s water slide, I just wonder how much more awkward they’ll seem in a few months — or whether they’ll even still exist at all."

>>227 Nice picture of TH.

I read the tweets before they were deleted, guess i missed the 11 (thought it said 5 or 6)

To ridiculous not to share. This must be the reason she bought her own plane!

“I know that my friend who works for airport security said one time Taylor Swift tried to bring fucking candles onto her flight, like they asked ‘do you intend to light these’ and she was like 'um yeah,’ and when they said she couldn’t light the candles and had to not have them on a carryon she threw a fit.” - Anonymous

>>230 I had to read that twice. She tried on a commercial flight? How old was she?

Not a swan, I think

Tayto Park
‏@taytopark
Hi @taylorswift13, if yourself & Tom #TayTo ever fancy having the ride on our #CuChulainnCoaster, just let us know! 😉

Apologies for the Daily Fail link - but this latest suggest they met in February, but has no detail about how and when:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3693292/Her-true-colours-coming-Taylor-Swift-vacated-relationship-Calvin-Harris-moved-Tom-Hiddleston-way-let-on.html

>>243 I'm all ears for a cheating scandal- it seems the most likely explanation at this point, but February? He was filming in Oz, did a quick trip to Berlin, then filming in Vietnam. I have no interest in looking up her movements but I'd be truly amazed if their paths intersected.
I love the use of the word 'vacated'; she didn't cheat, she od'd on valium, wafted out of the building and wrapped her vapour around TH.

C'mon friends of Calvin, dish up the scandal we all deserve after the hand holding pda tour and #SOHAPPY

Goes back to meditating on >>239

>>244 Yeah same here. It seems highly unlikely. The truth will out at some point.

Katie Kloss and Karlie Kloss don't seem to be related.

If you go to kt_kloss on instagram, supermodel Karlie does not appear to be related to Katie Kloss, stunt woman/model from the skull island wrap party pics. Super model Karlie's sisters are Kristine, Kimberly and Kariann, and she has no brothers. By contrast, stunt woman/model Katie Kloss appears to also have a brother in a family surfing snap on her instagram. There are also many pics of Karlie and her sisters on E! news website and one from Teen Vogue on google, and Katie Kloss does not match their pics.

My head is spinning. CH seems to be going for blood in destroying TS's character. This is just an ugly situation for everyone involved. No pics of TS in days, which is good b/c she's a bit overexposed right now. Will the couple will be over by early fall, or are we changing our minds?

>>244 I can't see them meeting in February. I think they met in May and she liked what she saw and started up with him before she saw Calvin off (note the DM says they met in Feb but got together in May).

That is still scandal enough for her to want to cover up with the lightning roll out. In a way it is worse because she meets TH on 2 May and starts shagging him more or less straight away. Not much time for "we became friends and texted a lot and gradually realised we were one another's soul mate." Just good old fashioned saw something new and traded up immediately.

This is interesting. As I mentioned previously, this is one of the most followed tumblr blogs (at least since Torrilla was deleted). If she says nobody is posting or reblogging, then she is in a position to know. Other people I follow are moaning that they are losing followers hand over fist. Still others are suddenly posting Sebastian Stan 24/7 and little to no TH (why? definitely not my second choice, but anyway!).

http://cheers-mrhiddleston.tumblr.com/post/147508856272/its-looks-like-i-see-less-of-you-on-my-dash-and

This whole thing seems at a stroke to have killed TH as tumblr's boyfriend. I do hope this was part of the plan.

In the compound. Before the pics in the ocean were taken (see quality of temporary tattoo). Notably not wearing the white t shirt:

http://theopdo.tumblr.com/post/147508561634

Here's a clip making the rounds of TS leaving AW's pre-MET gala dinner. She's walked out to her SUV first. TH and IE are essentially walking just beyond it.
She: Nice to meet you.
Idris: see you my love
She: bye
Tom: bye (waves hand)
Someone else with a higher voice: see you in the stars
Then another couple is escorted out (looks like James Corden and his wife).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jszJyoePYF0

http://www.gossipcop.com/taylor-swift-team-damage-control-calvin-harris-rant-tom-hiddleston/

What a load of 💩

>>250 That video has being doing the rounds since this whole thing started. I wouldn't cite anything these two do or say in front of paps as gospel truth- there's more than enough evidence they tweak their own storyline publicly.

>>248 There's been a noticeable drop in interest all round the board aside from Swiftie connected blogs. I guess losing his 2.5m followers is nothing compared to gaining 80m Swifties, becoming a household name worldwide and maintaining front page headlines for a month.

If I were him I would be terrified of ComicCon. Will the old fans turn up and boo him or will the new adoring fans drown them out? If TS loves him she will plant the audience like an opening night.

We are due for another pap stroll!

For those looking for a Hiddles 'out', here's some more visual inspiration:
https://www.instagram.com/p/BH8MHN2hWfs/

If that doesn't leave you running for the hills screaming, have a read through the comments on this gem:
https://www.instagram.com/p/BH4oWBDhkFB/

"She controls the media"
https://www.instagram.com/p/BH61dv8g3ZZ/

>>251 It's particularly a load of 💩 if, as the Swifty apologists on tumblr claim, GC has a direct line to Swift's publicist. Which means that all the articles in GC are themselves a form of damage control.

>>248 I get it. He lost everything that made him endearing and unique. Even if this stunt were to end I certainly not going back.

If this was part of the plan, it was a shitty plan. Swifties don't have the age to support his work in films. And since his theatre cred went down the drain, he can kiss goodbye to selling out tickets in a whiff.

>>251 Swifties have to buy tickets the same as everyone else and since it's a WarnerBros panel, they'll have plenty of competition form comic nerds. If TS is going to be with him at SDCC, that might make people snap for good.

You guys might have seen this at TOD, a gif of Nicholas Hoult saying that he did (the film Equals) as a tribute to Tayto.
The gif didn't include the question so I found the original video.

The question at minute 3.30 was: "What is it like for you guys when you watch the film in its completed form, in its entirety later on, after working on it"
His answer is here https://youtu.be/NissaDraecM?t=4m39s

I'm reading at the TOD that the Swifties claim Levi said TH will attend NerdHQ. Aside from the fact that a free Q&A right now would be hilarious, NerdHQ has already announced its program.
http://sdccblog.com/2016/07/nerd-hq-announces-2016-conversations-for-a-cause/

The only slot I see for a possible TH appearance would be on Thursday for the Zachary Levi & Friends.

>>249 there was little doubt that he wrote that atrocity exclusively for the paps photos.

>>252 those are good, always remember among many things, he pimped out his family. Now I'll go back admiring Camille Lacourt.

Ouch! Bill Maher shading Tayto.
http://therealmssanchez.tumblr.com/post/147483931326/or-worse

>>255 I had to look up the movie. The synopsis reads: In an emotionless utopia, two people fall in love when they regain their feelings from a mysterious disease, causing tensions between them and their society.

Ha.

>>258 Ouch indeed.

>>255 >>259 I went so far as to watch the trailer:

"Do not risk your job, do not risk your life"

http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/taylor-swift-tom-hiddleston-preparing-8437105#ICID

'The Shake It Off singer is allegedly hoping to 'boost' their power couple status in a tell-all chat with Ellen DeGeneres'

I can't tell you all how much i want this to be true. This would be AMAZING

>>259,260 I loved Hoult's ironic poke. Needless to say, the Swifties thought it was a compliment.

>>261 Yikes! Please let it be true, so he'll never be able to go back to the UK.

>>263 If it does eventuate I insist we all watch it live and have a shot each time they say #HAPPY

It appears the Swifties are able to maintain such a high level of optimism due to a complete lack of irony and critical analysis, much like Trump supporters.

>>264 We could live watch then take shots then comment on here as we go. Board anarchy!

Has Ellen inherited Oprah's sofa? Will TH jump on it to show us how much he's in love?

Seriously, whoever thought this up needs taking aside. The more they say about this the worse it will get.

>>264 We might end up drunk within the first minute.

hahahaha, isn't that the truth!

"A romantic night in for two? Tom Hiddleston is every inch the doting boyfriend as he steps out to grab some takeaway and a bottle of wine for girlfriend Taylor Swift"

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3694284/Tom-Hiddleston-inch-doting-boyfriend-steps-grab-takeaway-bottle-wine-girlfriend-Taylor-Swift.html

Btw, one of those bottle is San Pellegrino. I'll never understand the fixation this rich celebs have for branded water, nobody in their right mind can possibly believe that a spring can produce all the water for all the bottles being sold around the world.

I also think in one of the photos he was actually thinking "Damn, I can't remove my eyeglasses with my hands busy"

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3694284/Tom-Hiddleston-inch-doting-boyfriend-steps-grab-takeaway-bottle-wine-girlfriend-Taylor-Swift.html

Somehow the Fail have managed to squeeze an article out of TH picking up take-away.
The first question that comes to mind is... why is he picking it up himself? They are in the penthouse of a luxury hotel! He does look like he needed a break to have a good talk to himself.

>>265 I am all in for co-ordinated board anarchy. I'm even prepared to get drunk before 11am if necessary

>>267>>269 Whoops, double post.
I drink San Pellegrino for the bubbles. It tastes so much better than generic brands and it comes cheap at the local Mediterranean supermarket. Obviously thats his wine and her mineral water cause she's up the duff with Hiddlespawn

Is he... is he talking to the takeaway bag?

>>270 Taste as a reason I get it, brand I don't.

>>269 and no bodyguard to be seen, how did that happen?
But you are right, they are staying in a penthouse, wouldn't the hotel provide water?

>>271 Maybe he reached the point where even a takeaway bag is a more interesting conversationalist than Taylor Swift (let's use her full name like he does)

>>267 >>269

My theory is true. She really is holed up in that hotel 24/7 and only emerges for shopping trips. If she has sent him out for takeaway they must be sick of room service, and that must be because she never leaves the hotel. She's on the Gold Coast having a holiday and she sits in a suite all day. What a sad life.

I can't help comparing this to what looked like a lot of fun doing SI. Going out and about, being photographed by the odd fan, yes, but really enjoying life and doing cool activities. Now: run with bodyguard and pick up takeaway.

>>274 Indeed. And the reason for it is her obsession with PR and her security paranoia.

>>273 >>274 I agree, she is Rapunzeling the shit outta that penthouse and obviously driving him so mad he's unnecessarily volunteering to pick up takeaway so he can talk to the paper bag instead of TS. Even if she has eaten her way through their menu and the hotel restaurants, they have staff on hand to pick up their orders.
What a sad comparison to SI antics (which were ironically based on TSs' squad antics).
I'm starting to think he will try to escort her back home on the way to ComicCon. She will fight it all the way though.

Morning! I shrugged off church this morning - baby too tired (best excuse in the world).

Is he walking with/talking to the guy in the grey top and beanie? Is that the bodyguard/guard we've seen him with a few times? Maybe not or he'd help a dude out!

It is sad if they're holed up inside a hotel. I was once sequestered for two weeks during a trial - it wasn't mine, I was on the jury! Nice room, room service per diem, HBO, etc. But it was terrible. It's so isolating. We weren't allowed to watch news programs or check the Internet so there was a strange disconnect as well. Maybe they're getting out more and we just don't see it because they're not calling the paps! And we KNOW they're checking the Internet!

>>277 Oopsie. Meant to say trainer. Is that the trainer? (This no caffeine thing is kicking my ass hard. They say that having a glass of cold water in the morning is just as invigorating as having tea or coffee - they are LIARS!)

>>276 I don't know how long he'll be in SD at CC, but I'm getting the sneaking suspicion that she's going to stay put in Oz while he flies out and returns. If she's happy to stay up in the room for days at a time (writing music? writing positive comments on the DM articles? shouting at her PR people over the phone?) then why wouldn't she be happy to continue?

I know he got himself into this shit, but I did feel sorry for him when I saw a pic Torrilla posted - he is standing looking lost surrounded by 4 or 5 people, each of whom is taking a picture of him on their phone, as if he is an animal in the zoo.

I think he will want her gone when he goes to ComicCon. I don't think she's going to want to go, though. We'll see who wins that battle of wits.

Where is Olly?

>>279 Again, your kind heart shines out. I want a Attenborough voiceover: 'Here we have the celeb bf gathering food for his mate.'

While my husband fulfills Sunday obligations for three, I've been going over the ONTD threads. They're almost as hi-larry as Dlisted. One link to a vid of TS and Stevie Nicks caught my attention. The comment said that Nicks doesn't allow autotune to be used during her gigs (don't know if that's true) so TS had to perform without it. It's ear-opening. How many others use autotune to sound good? Because I always thought TS had a very good voice. Not Adele, but good.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUzjN38g6sw

I then read some comments. Swallow your beverage before reading this one: "What you haters don't realize is that there was a tragedy right before this show that affected Swift's performance. Benny, the tour's Auto-Tune machine, hung himself the afternoon of the show. Witness' described him as severely overworked from not only the tour but studio recording. He left no note, but was described as being depressed since working with Swift. Apparently, he was able to wrap his AC cord around the clothes bar in the closet and hang himself. Another Auto-Tune machine was hired but didn't make the show in time. RIP Benny, you will be missed..."

Is it wrong to have skipped church and to tear down a fellow woman? And on the day of rest?

>>281 Did you listen to the link I posted of her singing live at the VMAs isolated from the backing track? Painful.

I am having a day of feeling sorry for Tom. I think it is the weather here (very hot and clammy - it is enervating my inner Sunday bitch into a puddle of gloom). Am I overanalysing here or does he look slightly lost and sad in these pics? He is dating a super rich famous pretty person, and this is his life - being sent out for takeout and photographed by shameless tourists.

Nooooooo. Sad face.

They aren't going on Ellen. And this debunking by GC is from "Swift's rep" so it is probably true. http://www.gossipcop.com/taylor-swift-tom-hiddleston-ellen-degeneres-interview/

>>282 I don't think he looks lost, but I'm also thinking that he should be used to this sort of thing by now; he's had it for the past month. Still it must be strange, even given his previous fame.

>>283 You can tell they've turned that hotel suite into PRHQ. Every article, every comment, every snake emoji is being scrutinized and they are responding to it. What a life.

>>274 morning sickness does that to you. Apparently.

>>284 Here is the footage of the takeout run! I think beany hat man is the bodyguard. What a life, taking a security guard to get takeaway.

http://hiddleswifts.tumblr.com/post/147547313792/tom-grabbing-takeout-and-being-congratulated-on

>>285 Hahahaha!!

Why is Taylor being so mean to Calvn when she's pregnant with his child?

An unintended gem from that Gossip Cop article:

“A so-called “source” is quoted as saying in the Mirror, which picked up its story from the Daily Star, “*The simple truth is that Taylor is in love* and, as well as showing off her new man to her fans, she feels a friendly interviewer like Ellen could really help boost their standing as as power couple, as well as Tom’s Hollywood career.” But the story is entirely untrue."

For once what the photos suggested was right, pink-tshirt girl was approaching him.

>>286 Yep bodyguard, I thought strange he would be allowed to go out alone. I'm afraid that the video also confirms that he doesn't look lost at all, which all in all would be difficult to believe, he has just said he is very happy with Taylor, Taylor Swift!

>>281 hahahaha she sings as off key as Audrey! No wonder her parents had to buy her a record company.

>>289 Yes. Not looking lost but very definitely not stopping for the fan encounters, even with the little kid. He said "thanks man" to the "Emmy congrats" and sailed on by. Never looked back. He's over us. All of us.

>>291 Oh yeah. Maybe that's why he was jostling with bottles and paper bags, the perfect excuse to refuse contact.

I think that's the trainer. I'm not going to compare with previous pics, but he's not wearing an earpiece. Her bodyguards always wear earpieces. Even the one that took her shopping - he was alone - wore an earpiece.

I saw on another site that he was seen having breakfast with the trainer...on a balcony. I dismissed it as rubbish but maybe trainer is his non-TS companion. When she's writing or sleeping or down-arrowing nasty comments on DM, he hangs with the trainer.

>>293 He has always hung out with few friends. He spent every waking hour with Olly until he got back from the Publicity Tour of Doom. He seems to latch onto A Bloke and then hang out with him. He was third wheeling Olly and that ghastly assistant to Vogt-Roberts for most of his time in Vietnam and Oz.

What happened to Olly by the way? Last seen handing over the keys to the car before MamaPapstroll, so still on the payroll. Does the man do any actual work any more.

>>293 Breakfast with the trainer...Chances are those paper bags were also for dinner with the trainer. Are we sure TayTo are sharing the same bedroom?

>>294 Taking a well deserved vacation from buying coffee, underwear and condoms for his charge, I hope. Glad he doesn't have to deal with this PR nightmare of the moment.

Captcha proclaims 'he seen' as in nobody knows the trouble....

>>295 Oh no, those paper bags are for their heads, for their next outing. Tay is going to get all crafty on those bags and bejazzle the shit out of hers then realise they have to matchy match so she'll turn TH into a rhinestone cowboy

Seems he's being a little schizophrenic in regards to moods. Paps: not happy. No paps: happy. Or TS fan: no pic. TH fan: pics and smiles.

What?

This is the funniest thing I have seen for a few days. Luke retweets the GC article denying an Ellen interview and the replies are hilarious:

https://twitter

.com/gossipcop/status/754711341621993472

>>298 That is such a cute pic. Beautiful smiles.

>>281 I love that video so much. Stevie can't hide her disgust.
Where is that mind- blowing comment from? I want to hunt it down and give it a giant thumbs up!
>>283 Crying rivers face
>>284 Maybe those extra bedroom are for their publicists. There are some unfounded rumors flying around that Luke is in Oz on damage control. While there are no sources I wouldn't be surprised if he is being heavily prepped for ComicCon. It's a potential minefield and he can't be stammering declarations of love for Taylor Swift
>>288 The inadvertent truth?
>>298 It's a little odd that he ignored the first girl then outside his hotel he went to all the trouble of offloading the cumbersome dinner so he could pose for a happy snappy. Bizarre. (pre- arranged?)

>>301 Maybe the young girl was a Swifty so he moved on and the little kids could've been Marvel fans. So he posed with ppl who were fans of his work. I haven't seen the vids. Just the pics.

http://www.newidea.com.au/article/celebrityroyals/taylor-and-tom-s-aussie-weddings

‘Tom turned up for the first day of filming with Taylor in tow,’ the source tells New Idea. ‘They were beaming with excitement and blurted out their engagement news to all the cast and crew.’

http://ht.ly/TCCx302kEkE

'Despite recent reports suggesting they're preparing to tie the knot, Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston are not set to wed.
A Swift insider laughed at the rumour, telling Daily Mail Australia: 'They are not engaged'.

I think this tape might just break the internet.
Final proof that Tay Tay lied

>>305 And Taylor Swift is done. That Kim Kardashian doesn't mess around. Can't wait to see what Taylor's next move will be.

>>306 We all theorised at the beginning that this relationship was a deliberate ploy to distract from this drama. Does this give that theory legitimacy now?
If so, do we expect an engagement/ pregnancy announcement or a quit and run?

TH, forget the wine and water, go back for VODKA.

This is so much fun, the Swifties are LOSING IT!

https://twitter.
com/Tpindell/status/754881200683180036

Possibly more than one bottle... >>308

>>307 If they try a major distraction, or at this point even something as minor as a pap walk, everyone will see right through it. Their only options are to say "screw it" and quit, or just disappear for a while. Breakup or no, I think Taylor might go back to the U.S. when Tom goes to Comic Con and then go into hiding to "work on her album" or something. I think at the very least the timing of everything with TayTo was an attempt to bury the Kim and Kanye drama, but it didn't work.

>>295 I'm not even convinced she's staying at the same hotel.

'I like Tom Hiddleston a lot but right now he's basically a small flightless bird someone accidentally brought to a gang fight'

>>311 There's really no public exit/ display that could pass as legitimate. She may just stay hidden wherever she's hiding right now. I can't help wondering if she's already hired a private plane and jettisoned herself into oblivion knowing this was coming. She hasn't been seen since her shopping trip.
As for Tom, he is about to fly into a 12hr media marathon and I feel just a teeny weenie bit sorry for him but not really.

>>312 I agree. The relationship will have to fade quietly into the sunset. No announcements, or it will look fake. Well, more fake than it already does, anyway. ;) Based on all the other terrible decisions they've made, they're probably going to try and gain sympathy for her by staging some public fight where Tom is very mean to poor Taylor.

I can't help but wonder if Tom was fully aware of what he was getting himself into.

Taylors ex publicist just 'liked' this tweet.. AMAZEBALLS

https://www.instagram.com/p/BH_TCz4DeSj/?taken-by=taylorswift&hl=en

Taylor responds with a whinge:

'That moment when Kanye West secretly records your phone call, then Kim posts it on the Internet.'

>>315 Is she for real?!

>>316 Yassssss. The most delusional whinge back imaginable. As if 'that bitch' comes close to being the most insulting line about her in that song! Seriously her stupid young stans will believe this excuse but there is SO MUCH evidence she has lied in all these videos.
It won't be long before clever people compile all the evidence in simple enough memes for the deluded Swifties to comprehend.

>>315 Wow...she's much more pathetic than I imagined lol Didn't the line he quoted give her any indication? It's not like he dropped the bitch line in the middle of rapping about how straight up cool and OG Taylor is.

She's so pathetic. I really question Tom's judgement now.

The one thing this relationship isn't is boring. Holy fuck at the sheer amount of publicity and crazy shenanigans.

Approaching 1000 comments. http://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/102590244.html?page=5

>>322 There's three epic threads going on this!

http://dlisted.com/2016/07/17/kim-kartrashian-actually-brought-out-the-receipts-that-exposed-taylor-swift/

Also Michael K...

>>323 Fav comment: "The truth is that Taylor Swift and I are together, and we're very happy." TH: In light of recent events, I'd like to amend my statement.

>>323 Someone in the comments pointed out that the back button in the top left of Taylor's response is not "Notes" as it would be if she had just typed it up, but rather "Search," meaning she's had that response ready for quite some time and had to search her notes app to find it.

I'm currently covering everything in my home with tinfoil.

I so want TH to tweet something supportive - just like S Gomez - so that I can watch twitter eviscerate him.

>>298 I actually think pink-tshirt girl was hi fans and these kids were Swifties, mainly for the age. But in either cases, I'd say he did it because he was in from of his hotel and there were more chances of paps catching him not be nice to kids.

I don't know how many remember KimKardashian interview back in June, but she basically quoted this video word for word, she WAS telling the truth.
The last part of the second video is quite telling about TS, she is already organizing her PR "People will say it's shade but then like at the Grammy I will say that I'm cool with it that it's great".

Just saw this on twitter. I think my bs meter is broken but I wouldn't put it past her. Poor Tom if it's true:

'US Weekly reports that Kim Kardashian claims to have a picture of Taylor Swift cheating on Tom Hiddleston.''

>>325 That's not such a reach considering she has had ample warning this is coming. She took 90mins to respond which was plenty of time to save the stupid rant and send it to TH and her agent to edit. Michael K does have a point about the last line belonging to the thespian.

>>326 I want him to go for a run and be swarmed by paps and journalists and listen to him "hehehehe" his ass out of this.

>>323 You are correct. Many threads today on her at:
http://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/tag/taylor%20swift

More :
http://kaleidoscope112.tumblr.com/post/147580704867/tom-right-now

kaleidoscope112 has a ton of twitter screenshots from #KIMEXPOSEDTAYLORPARTY

You can bet TH will be frantically searching for a passive- aggressive philosophical excerpt to post sans comment but the poor bastard is probably stuck at work and has been throughout the drama, fielding her insane texts and rants in- between takes and fluffing all his lines.
The crew will have little sympathy for her dramas interrupting his performance if that eventuates. Lets hope he can keep his shit together till he gets home (via the bottle shop).

>>329 Kim and Kayne were at the Met Gala, weren't they?

Every time I quit this mess it sucks me right back in again.

>>329 I hope it's true, and I hope it's with Karlie Kloss.

>>330 I can imagine the awkwardness already.

Sometimes I think one night I'm gonna go to sleep and wake up the next morning and find that it's still January 1 and 2016 has all been a bizarre dream I had after drinking too much champagne on New Year's Eve.

>>325 to no avail, her reply is pathetic no matter what.

>>333 Yes they were. I read that as a photo of TS cheating behind THs back but you may be right that it's a photo from that night. That would make much more sense.

'You don't even use your voice to sing'

Lourdes just joined in on the action tearing down Selena Gomez.
What a pack of vacuous bitchy nitwits the squad are turning out to be (feigning surprise)

List of things on TS table right now:

• Team Kayne and his fans
• Team Harris and his fans
• Team Katy Perry and her fans
• Lawsuit for which she will be deposed (I don't remember when)
• Backlash from serious media for the fake romance with TH
• Backlash from serious media for her fake bf
• Bf who isn't the internet darling anymore and is becoming more like kryptonite by the second.
• Bf who screws up every single interview since they got together (the only things that he screws apparently)
• Bf's best friend that would only go as far as saying that his pal looks happy
• SDCC this week

Did I forget something?

>>336 Wow, I thought Lourdes was part of the squad. Keeping track with these children feuds and state of things is a nightmare.

>>337 I think you've got it covered.

>>336 >>338 Lorde is/was part of the squad. Lourdes is someone else.

>>334 I quit being his fans, I stay to see his downfall. I have absolutely no pity for him and whenever I do I remember all the not so wonderful things he chose to do since at least the end of May, like choosing to be with this silly puerile girl or pimping out his family for whatever reason (family that we'll forever be associated with such a lying moron)

>>340 Oops, my bad.

>>340 Oops forgot to look for the blue tick

Apparently Harry Styles just posted a snake emoji and quickly deleted it

I am always asleep when the TH-related shit goes down!

Guardian article pointing out that KW didn't say the line "I made that bitch famous" but that really TS is in the position of Bill Clinton saying he never had sex with Monica. It's pretty obvious she approved the sentiment generally and she told him to use whatever lyric he thought best: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/jul/18/taylor-swift-condemns-kim-kardashians-release-of-kanye-west-phone-call

Capcha says "hate". Too right I do.

>>329 Please god let KKW have a photo of Taylor snogging Tom at the Met Gala. Please.

>>323 Michael K is so right. TH wrote the line "character assassination."

Not least because before last night TS thought "character assassination" was what happened to Corky in ep 5 of The Night Manager.

>>337 Deposition for groper: http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop/7439035/taylor-swift-cant-avoid-videotape-deposition-accused-groper

Summary: Taylor is battling in court with David Mueller, a former radio host who she alleges groped her during a 2013 meet and greet before a Denver concert. Mueller is suing her for slander while she's brought counterclaims alleging sexual assault and battery. An original videotape will be made of Taylor's deposition, and will remain in the custody of Taylor's business manager. Plaintiff's counsel must be provided reasonable access to the videotape. The deposition would only become public if there's a trial, though excerpts of transcripts could appear in summary motion papers.

>>346 He's gonna put a ring on it. He won't back out now, he'll sink with the Titanic.
Imagine having to listen to her bitchy rants with her squad after a long day at work. So fucking tedious.

>>348 The guy lost his job because of what she said. If he is right and she falsely slandered him, she is a bitch on wheels.

Lawyer's perspective: countersuing someone often makes me raise my eyebrows. On occasion it happens because the parties had a huge beef against one another, and it was just that one party issued proceedings first so the other had to countersue. More often in my experience it is a tactic used by a defendant who is bang to rights. It indicates that you didn't consider what happened was worth suing first and you only deploy it to sling some mud in your defence. The classic example is, lawyer sues client for unpaid fees. Client has never previously complained about the standard of service but countersues for squillions of ££ saying that lawyer was negligent.

>>344 The Guardian is right. And since Kim only posted excerpts, it'd be better for TS apologist to wait.

>>346 hahahaha

>>347 thank you.

>>350 who has the burden of proof for slander in the US? The DJ or TS?

>>349 I think so too. I think he might have convinced himself that since he got his Emmy nomination in spite of the backlash, all of this won't have any affect on his career.

>>349 I still don't think he's going to go all the way with this. If he does, I'll be convinced he's gay.

>>352 He has the burden of proof on the stuff he alleges (slander). She has the burden of proof on what she alleges (assault).

>>354 is is going to be a variation of retail rules (you broke it you own it). Like, we saw you walking all round the shop with to in your basket so now you have to buy it?

>>353 *affect effect

>>348 The article I read was lenient towards the accused. He claims it was his boss who groped her ass, not him, which is why video proof has been demanded.
While I used to be a flag carrying feminist demanding every perpetrator of menial harassment is dragged to court, my tune has changed.
Honestly, who hasn't been groped at least 50 times? Not that I condone it but such things should be dealt with immediately with a slap on the cheek and some really harsh words. On Japanese trains it's so common there's an established etiquette whereby you grab the man's hand and hold it up for everyone to see so he's publicly humiliated.
Princess.

>>353 The votes were closed two days after their showmance began. Perhaps he doesn't realise the extent of the mass evacuation of fans but I doubt it.
>>354 He's always going to be gay to me now, even if he releases a sex tape, cause he's an AKTOR

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3694987/Tom-Hiddleston-leaves-girlfriend-Taylor-Swift-s-ventures-run-foggy-beach-Australia.html

He runs with the trainer, but aren't those 2 dudes in the back TS bodyguards?
http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2016/07/18/03/366030B100000578-3694987-image-a-63_1468807593790.jpg

>>358 My thoughts exactly. End the guy's career....wow.

We don't have depositions at all in the UK. But my understanding is that taping them is totally routine in the US, as is having the other party attend during the deposition. So she wanted special treatment, which she has been denied.

Not sure what the reference to video proof is about (unless it was a confused reference in the article to taping TH deposition). If there is video that his boss groped her then one would think her claim is hopeless.

>>362 Tom has been bribing Trainer with balcony breakfasts and takeout food to help him escape. Taylor caught wind of his plan and stationed two bodyguards to keep an eye on Tom in case he and Trainer decided to make a break for it.

>>363 Well, there was video of her talking to Kanye and she lied about that anyway, so clearly the concept of video evidence means nothing to her.

>>365 Very true!

Holy fuck. Kat Dennings liked KKW's tweets...does anyone outside the squad like TS?

>>355,363 whether or not the groping happened, she is going to have a hard time proving it without a video. While he on the other hand can easily prove that her accusation cost him his career. And if he has video proving that it was his boss, then she is in trouble.

>>367 So far I've only seen The Gomez, who's been dragged for racism amongst other things and Chloe Moretz, who has been dragged by one of the Kardashians for displaying her arsehole:

https://twitter.
com/ChloeGMoretz/status/754915943743053825

Neither display the ability to string a coherent sentence together and both are using the same excuse that people should be focusing on real world events (as opposed to this totally fake drama)

The interview with JH on Happy Sad Confused.

Only listened to the intro so far but it is WEIRD. JH seems to say:

1) Tom contacted him for an interview (or JH implies this - he say something like "Tom wanted to talk about his nomination")
2) They didn't actually talk about TS at all in the phone convo
3) Tom gave him a quote for his print article.
4) Josh sounds kind of embarrassed having to explain all this.

WHAT???
http://twh-news.tumblr.com/post/147585190221/happy-sad-confused-podcast-with-tom-hiddleston-and

>>370 TH: "worth staying up for". So he did stay up to see if he's been nominated....!

>>370 Josh says "He is apparently dating Taylor Swift." LOL

Just listened to the intro. That was the most uncomfortable I've ever heard Josh Horowitz sound. As a matter of fact, his tone was verging on downright annoyed when he was talking about Taylor Swift. Wow.

"We caught up literally moments after he had been nominated because he wanted to revel in his fun moment, and who am I to say no to that?

....We don't talk about that [TS] in this conversation. It was brought up, partially because it's so in the news he kind of wanted to, I think he wanted to address it in some way and he wanted to acknowledge that this, you know, is a thing,....so we ran an article in MTV News....you're not going to hear me talk about TS in this, that wasn't my agenda, that wasn't his agenda, I don't really care that much to talk about that kind of thing and I don't think he does either. The quote he gave me was, I think, simply to nip it in the bud, hopefully, and hopefully not, like, to turn it into a bigger thing than it already is."

So there was a private convo about TS in which TH made Josh his media bitch by foisting on him a quote about something Josh would have been too much of a gentleman and a friend to ask TH about. That's my reading of this anyway.

I read a comment I think on ONTD (one of millions so I can't find it) which rang true about this whole scenario.
The commenter suggested that this whole relationship rollout was rushed to distract from this explosion which at the time appeared imminent- the Kardashians were threatening to release the recordings with the magazine article. The kissing on the rocks photos would have sufficed in smothering the release of the tapes.
So TayTo kept going and kept going, maintaining headlines, with the shitstorm on their tails and still nothing happened so Tay tagged along to the other side of the earth where she can remain in hiding from what she knew was coming.
Kim waited until the pap strolls and TayTo headlines died down and the very week they did she released the tapes, voiding all distraction efforts by TayTo. They have been obliterated (for the time being).

Just a theory...

>>372 I noticed that too! WTF!

>>373 That clearly proves that it was TH who called Josh and that TH isn't above exploiting friendship in a failed attempt to control the narrative. Let's see what happens at SDCC.

How did I ever like this guy?!

>>373 Yes, Josh didn't sound quite so heart-eyes for Tom as I've come to expect.

>>374 That is frighteningly plausible. KKW gave the interview to GQ print magazine, so because of the turnaround she would have had no way of knowing what TS might be up to 2 months hence when it was published. Whereas when it is imminently about to be published TS gets a heads up from her publicist and she buries it.

KKW sees this and so she waits till the news cycle has died down and then she wreaks her revenge.

BTW I noticed that TS's original reaction to the "she approved it" was to deny there was a conversation. Then KKW said, I have the tapes, and she said there was a conversation but KW didn't say what he says he said. She says she told KW that the song was misogyniatic and counselled him against releasing it. Now the tape has come out and she says "ah, I was right, he never mentioned the word "bitch" to me". Which is narrowly true but where is all the rest?

>>374 I can buy that, I don't put anything past TS after all I've been reading. Is the fact that TH agreed to it that irks me to no end.

>>375 For the moment. I bet KW did tell her about the bitch part too and KKW will release it in due course. TS would have been better off admitting to it or saying nothing. But she is too childish and petty.

>>377 >>378 Project TayTo Fail is just so sad if it is true.
Zero credibility for TH

Project "We fell in love at the Met and publicised the shit outta our love" is still sad with the added sting of a melty heart and that moment of terror when you take off the beer goggles and see that the woman you're enamoured with is a two- faced bitch

>>379 Uh-oh, did you get permission before you called her a bitch? Miss Swift doesn't approve of the b-word. Watch out or her next Instagram rant and/or hit song will be about "that meanie-head Anonon."

And Harry Styles: http://gitsie007.tumblr.com/post/147589193538/coffeethcughts-wow

I'll love the Swifty apologists trying to spin that one so they are rilly rilly good friends.

>>381 And Pharrell Williams and Fifth Harmony who used to perform with her.
>>380 So many bigger fish to fry, but nevertheless I will face a lawsuit for slander and Swifties will come for me in droves and bully me offline

>>381 Ha! In his young age Styles might have been wise enough to not want to drag on a pointless fight, but that doesn't he was ok with her shading him in her song. And without his consent. Talk about double standards.

>>382 Pharrell too? On twitter? Wow!

Here's Selena embarrassing herself

All right then. That is for confirming what we already knew.

>>382 Prayer circle around Anonon!

The woman who wrote this article has problems of her own
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jul/18/taylor-swift-kanye-west-kim-kardashian-west-famous-reaction?CMP=fb_gu

>>386 I saw. She is competing with the tumblr crazies for most butt kissing fan of the year award.

Still if the guardian wants him to go to the Hite House Correspondents' dinner or give them an interview ever ever again, I suppose they have to run this shit.

>>387 Given the present situation, I doubt the Guardian will ask him to represent them soon. TH on the other hand might need to go back into the Guardian's good grace.

The only thing I agreed with this imbecile was that it's unfair to claim that TH is a poor victim of events.

I've never checked TS instagram but I read she removed all of TH's photos. I only remember the veranda photo, were there others?

>>389 No. It's an error. TS never posted a single pic of her with TH. even the veranda pic was posted by her friend. It's still there: https://www.instagram.com/britmaack/?hl=en

>>363 Can't the DJ just ask her to stand up and turn around in court? This would conclusively prove that she has no ass, and thus no one could have grabbed something that doesn't exist? Or did she get ass implants as well as breast implants?

>>369 CM recently dragged Kim for using sex to sell her image...but then CM posted a load of bikini shots to her IG and was called out for it. That, I would think, brought about KhK's pic.

It really is a spider's web of shit.

>>370 No conversation about the relationship? Just for the print edition? Bitch DID NOT want to go on the taped record with talk about this relationship. He obviously realized the trouble that could cause....

>>345 'Please god let KKW have a photo of Taylor snogging Tom at the Met Gala. Please.'

YES. A thousand times, YES. Okay I need to go to church today because NOW I have something to pray for.

I loved this. Tinhattery backed up by science! http://nymag.com/selectall/2016/07/was-taylor-swift-betrayed-by-her-own-notes-app.html

>>373 '...One we all know and love...' Oh, Josh, this isn't true at all, is it? We don't know him and the love is gone too.

>>393 Yes!!! What with the TS shenanigans today that very revealing little intro from Josh has not received the analysis it deserved. Bitch:

1) stayed up for the Emmy nominations
2) rang Josh screaming "interview me, little token gay friend monkey! I DEMAND it!!!"
3) Foisted on an unwilling Josh the quote.
4) Declined to own his shit by making sure it was for a written piece only.

>>395 That one is a gem. Who keeps a list of reply statements just in case? A paranoid PR centred person.

>>397 5) reused comments from the ISTL promo tour.

>>399 Oh yeah, I forgot about that.

>>386 I noticed that the author was called out for her failed logic in the comments which were then quickly closed. All's right with the world.

>>401 pfft at the Guardian

>>401 The impeccable ability of the British far left to show tolerance for dissenting voices by silencing them.

>>407 I fully believe that his genitals are currently burrowing up into his body in some sort of defensive move. He's going to end up curled into a ball like a potato bug soon.

I understand being British and non-confrontational but I just feel like he needs to nail his colors to the mast - in some respect. That quote he gave to JH and THR did naught but bring more scorn. At this point I'd up-vote a tweet in support of TS (God, help me!) because at least he'd show some fucking balls. Where are the balls, TH? Get them out...or at least one of them!

Luke - at this point in the story - is regretting his life choices as much as TH. His mother probably wanted him to be a doctor. Awww.

>>408 His balls are currently inflating Taylor's new girls. And I don't think she's giving them back anytime soon lol

Now that it's become obvious from Josh's podcast that Tom was pushed into sharing his Emmy headline with Taylor, I'm waiting to see if she'll try to ride on his coattails again, using something that's about his work to get some lip service from him for herself. This whole showdown with Kimye also makes me wonder if Taylor went for Tom with the sole intention of using him as a shield. A willing shield who didn't really understand the extent of the shitstorm he was about to get pulled into.

>>408 British and non-confrontational - like Calvin, perhaps...?!!

>>409 I kind of assumed that the desire to make the Taylor mention came from TH himself. Not very willingly, but to shut down further comment, as he hoped (vainly, like all his PR hopes for this relationship).

Story made up by Taylor's publicist, who must be hoping like Anon. that he will grow a pair: http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/taylor-swift-is-upset-by-kimye-drama-tom-hiddleston-has-been-so-supportive-w429686

>>411 Actually, I think Us is floating its own stories at lot these days; wasn't it the one that gave us 'engagement watch' before GC shut that down?

And this is a pretty pathetic 'supportive boyfriend' article. He's 'telling her to be calm?' Yeah, because he doesn't want to pay for anything else she breaks in the penthouse!

Where's the 'he's running her baths with lavender oil?' Where's the 'he's giving her head massages and spooning ice cream into her mouth?' Come on, Us, make up better shit.

If you thought the sex was non-existent or bad before....

>>412 "We've had it this week and it's not your birthday!"

Is Jason Mitchell on the ComicCon panel next weekend?

lmao kim let that tea brew for months to bring out the flavor for taylor to enjoy 💀

real cannot be bought, created, manipulated, duplicated, manufactured or imitated. you either are or you are not 💯

>>412 I cannot actually imagine TH being of use during any crisis. Or of use in any practical way. He must be domestically quite helpless, surely? He has all the impracticability of the wafting luvvie, combined with being the man who owns 3 pairs of socks, one jumper with holes and precious little furniture other than a leather bean bag. Such a man usually owns a nice flat but turns it into a pigsty of his own making, in which he grunts around quite contentedly.

>>410 The main reason I think he was pushed into it because he only mentioned it in the print piece. Because Josh wasn't interested and Tom certainly isn't interested in talking about her going by his awkward "pliss my werk can we talk abt my werk". Also the line read too much like a scripted one than something a bf would say about his gf because he's tired of ppl dumping on them as a couple.

>>414 Will his costars make jabs during the panel? Oh jeez if they do...Tom will go all quiet and close off. He must be DREADING comic con.

>>416 Going by those tweets, Jason is clearly not a Swift supporter, in fact it would appear he can't stand her. I think it's safe to assume there will be tension.

>>416 Someone said on ONTD that Conan O'Brien is leading the panel. This means TH needs to worry about the audience, his fellow panelists, and the moderator. Conan is a comedian and no comedian will be able to fully pass up this opportunity, I'd think.

Luke's going to need to be under the table, holding his hand and feeding him answers through an earpiece. And they've probably asked for him to be in a harness so that if it gets too embarrassing, they can just haul him up into the rafters.

What most people have been saying all along. Which suggests he knew it all along.

http://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/news/a61523/tweets-about-tom-hiddleston-taylor-swift-kim-kardashian/

For some reason the live cut to a spiraling lobster? has me in spasms!

Wow. Really? Really? Comparing the murder of an innocent woman to Taylor's lying twitter(.)com/JosephKahn/status/755145643832713216
Is he trying to make the comparison that Kanye and Kim are trying to murder Taylor? What the hell is wrong with him? It's such petty crap and he's comparing to something horrific like murder.

>>420 He's taken quite a few steps back from his original tweet, making sure not to implicate Tay Tay.
I realise he has to be diplomatic for the sake of his films' promotion but his excuse that the creatives are entirely responsible for plagiarising isn't really valid. While the 'original' idea and content is formulated by the ad agency, TS and her team approved it. I don't believe TS had never seen the original viral video but I'll give her the shady benefit of the doubt that she may not have known they were copying without permission.
I'd even wager that the original video was included in style notes for the shoot.

>>423 Her defenders are showing themselves up to be quite a pack of imbeciles.
Meanwhile celebrities keep supporting the takedown... TS has definitely been stepping on toes.

This is like a Revenge of the Nerds fantasy

>>408 Ha, if he had balls, integrity and brains he would call quits now. Like others before him. We'll all know it'd be to preserve his career, but his fangirls and nannies will say that he finally realized that she is nuts and at least he'd save a minimum of dignity and reputation.

Instead he'll go for his usual low-maintanance approach: ambiguity. Act to make everyone happy, out of self-interest obviously. He can't take a stand and risk people thinking he approves of TS methods and make enemies as a consequence. But even having TS as an enemy is too much to face, he's not Styles, Gyllenhaal or Harris. Passive aggresive as he is, he'll probably create the situation so that is TS dumping him.

WB's panel is not just about Kong, the full list includes: Wonder Woman, Suicide Squad, The Lego Batman Movie, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, Kong: Skull Island and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

The panel is 2 hours long, from 11:30am to 1:30pm, that means 20 minutes each (though I think Suicide Squad might take more). Enough time to make a few jokes but not too many, but since the show will be streamed, WB might prefer to keep the attention on the movie.

Anonon yes Jason will be there. I pray TS will be too.

>>420,424 LOL, what's realy really funny is that when the original video was posted 3 years ago, Ruffalo tweeted it and TH RT it saying this:
https://twitter.
com/twhiddleston/status/288729346909286400

>>425 I think I'll be joining anonsy in her tin foil cave because this is just getting too nasty now. Racism is starting to rear its ugly head and if Taylor goes with the "scary brute black man attacking the poor helpless white woman" narrative and Tom stays and sides with her in his usual passive manner, it'll speak volumes about him.

I have to ask though. I've been seeing this on tumblr now but do you guys think Taylor could be racist on some level and that's why her bfs check out so fast? Could it really all just be because she goes too fast? One of her close friends is an obvious Trump supporter. The close company you keep does reflect on you.

>>429 I do think she was probably raised that way, on the 'be nice and civil but don't let them get too close and NEVER DATE BLACK MEN' level. On the 'make sure you have a token at your 4oJ party for the pictures' level.
And yes, on the 'be nice to any scary looking black men and just between you me and the wall they are all scary except Pharrell' level. I'm not the only one who thought she was sounded like she was placating Kanye on the recording. There's a reason why she is rumored to be very popular with White Nationalists in the US - she only dates white guys and has white close friends (not sure if Selena is getting a pass on this or if they just don't notice her).

I would have liked to have been a fly on the wall when she met his niece. (And if his brother-in-law was there - (still married to his sister?) - I can't remember his name, and I therefore can't find his facebook that someone once linked to from tumblr).

I never thought of this as being a reason her bfs left soon - I would like to think it was a combo of going too fast and the accompanying PR blitz. Maybe the rumored sex drive issue plays a part. Maybe it's a whiplash inducing seesaw between 'I must be with you now' and 'I must be with my squad now'

I would be shocked if he stayed if something racist came out about her. And he'd lose me as a supporter since he's always spoke out against racism.

So there's this pic of Tom at what appears to be LAX that showed up Monday night: https://www.instagram.com/p/BIBThadjRdJ/

And the poster (not 100% sure if it's the guy in the picture but it seems to be) claims Taylor took the pic.

Some tumblr detectives say it was taken in April due to his hair length then compared to now, and it looks like a selfie: http://hiddlesfashion.tumblr.com/post/147618657452/ive-had-a-lot-of-questions-about-this-picture

>>431 Yeah, his current haircut is too short for that to be recent.

>>429 Join me. The tinfoil is nice and sparkly.

And a comparisonof TS to the 'everyone hates Anne Hathaway' months of 2012/13: http://www.businessinsider.com.au/something-else-is-going-on-with-taylor-swift-and-its-ugly-2016-7

>>433 Bullshit comparison. Anne Hathaway did nothing wrong and got mocked for basically no reason. Taylor Swift is getting dragged because she's seemed like a phony for years and finally got caught in one of her backstabbing lies. Not at all the same thing, Business Insider.

>>427 I will be SHOCKED if TS goes. He works hard at those events- not a spare minute. If anything she'll fly with him to LA to sort out her mess of a life and hopefully stay there.
>>429 The company TS keeps and flaunts has I think been one of the main reasons his fans balk at the union. They are not exactly 'cultured' or 'evolved' and it's becoming apparent some of them are bigots.
It appears they would all prefer to swill champage, pretty pose, complain about their first world wealthy white problems and giggle round inflatables than discuss political, societal or racial issues.
They collectively have the depth of a childrens wading pool.
>>430 Whether or not he stays with her depends on the reason he got involved in the first place. If it was true love or for self serving promotion he will stay. He's proven his staying power with sinking ships with ISTL and despite the bad press he's receiving more name recognition than ever and an increasing army of Swifties who will pay to see Shit Island.
If it was just an intense summer fling or a short term arrangement he will leave.

>>430 It's an interesting theory. I have a slightly different one.

I bet she is a republican. Just because celebs who are democrats tend to be very vocal about it and celebs who are republican tend to keep it pretty quiet. I don't think she has ever stated a political view of any kind, and she certainly hasn't done anything so vulgar as support Hillary or Bernie, so I am guessing she is republican. It would figure as well given her background.

Not that this means she is a racist but the Republican Party is so far to the right of anything we have in the UK on any issue you care to name. That might explain why neither Brits not more "right on" American boyfriends such as Gyllenhall wanted to hang around. Particularly if her political views comprise regurgitating what her parents/older people around her have told her, which I suspect they do.

PS SG is probably an OK black friend for the white nationalists because as her tweet yesterday showed she is totally clueless about racial politics and thinks supporting BML is a case of "taking sides."

>>434 Yes quite.

>>436 I can see that, for all the reasons you listed. And TH has voiced his dislike of and opposition to Trump on camera, so I wonder what those conversations are like between them, especially since they all end in "well, you can't vote in the November election anyway, so...."

>>431 If the pic was taken in April and Taylor took it......TINFOIL HOUSE ALERT. Possibly tinfoil over the entire state of California.

Of course the guy could be joking.

>>438 Tom was a Bernie fanboy, remember! And my guess is he is a natural Labour sympathiser (even if he may reluctantly vote with his wallet). He said something in an interview last autumn about how much integrity he thought Jeremy Corbyn had. JC is a lot more left wing than BS.

I cannot begin to imagine what TH and TS discuss full stop, let alone what they and her pathetic squad say about politics. This has always been a great mystery to me about their relationship. I'd say "well, it must be the great sex that keeps him coming back", only - yeah. And you do at some point have to get out of bed and start talking.

I can't imagine she will go to ComicCon.

But even if she doesn't he will surely get the piss taken mercilessly.

Here's a thought - if she doesn't go this will be his first time away from her since hat very brief stopover in the UK on 2/3 July, and only his second since 10 June (when seen in West Village). I wonder how that will go down, combined with the realisation that he has a relationship with a woman that a lot of his friends hold in contempt (I see you JVR - no use hiding behind those clarificatory tweets!!), or at the least make mock of. Will he double down or start to rethink his life choices?

>>439 I think he was causing a stir on his IG, like the guy from the movie theatre last week.

>>440 Maybe that's where Ryan Reynolds's WTF face came from at the 4oJ party - stuck between 3 Repubs and a guy who was too pussy whipped (possibly) to care.

>>441 Once he gets out of her sight, and if the bodyguards aren't there? INTERVENTION! Placing bets on how many people will pull him aside at SDCC for A Talk. Maybe they'll fly in his father.

Magic 8 ball captcha says 'dourness'

the bodyguards >>> HER bodyguards, I meant.

>>442 Ryan Reynolds married Blake Lively in an antebellum styled wedding on a former plantation in the south...so maybe not!

Bow down and worship the Kardashians' lawyer: no reasonable expectation of privacy because the call was on speaker: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3697173/Kim-Kardashian-WON-T-prosecuted-Taylor-Swift-recording-star-knew-phone-call-Kanye-overheard.html

She would be a prize idiot to pursue KW - what are the civil damages for being exposed as a liar? Nil, I would say. http://www.celebitchy.com/495580/taylor_swift_is_considering_pursuing_criminal_civil_action_against_kanye_west/

>>447 Kaiser also makes a good point, if she didn't know he was recording her, why would her lawyers asked him to destroy all the materials months ago?

It seems to me that TS hasn't any ground for the phone call and the incriminated line, so I don't see any sensible lawyer telling her she can win. Then again, I don't think TS is mentally stable, she is a bully and like all bullies she only feels she won when she crushed her enemies. An honourable defeat is unknown to her.

>>448 He may have written through lawyers and told her to stop lying, explaining that he had recordings.

Apparently KW told People that there are more recordings, of her being told that the call was recorded and of her being told about the bitch line. Please let that be true! (It's not in the article that Kaiser links to).

And I kind of think it might be. KKW has surely not played every card she has yet. I bet she is waiting to see what new lie TS puts out before releasing more. She must be a great poker player.

>>449 In that case, her speech at the Grammys was even more stupid and arrogant, she basically challenged him to come after her.

>>450 I totally believe there are others, those snapchat videos were shared for public consumption, but they were surely meant for TS, as a warning.

>>450 This and THIS. I think TS thought - in an undoubtedly condescending fashion - that she had the PR and the lawyers to best KK and KW. She probably thought she'd come out smelling of roses and candy floss, as she had so many times before.

But, unlike TH, Kim Is.Not.The.One. She held on to that tape and sat on it like a mother hen. She might have released it alongside the GQ article, but that wasn't the right time (TayTo and their "true, organic romance" was all anyone was talking about) and then she had other opportunities. But no, she waited until a boring Sunday night (on the west coast so it could catch prime social media time AND some morning editions the next day) when there was nothing else going on. It had a lead-in from her own show where the TS/KW beef was mentioned. Then she teased it on her popular twitter account before releasing it on her lesser followed (though NOT now) Snapchat account. It should be noted that Snapchat users tend to be 13-24 (prime TS demographic).

I've seen NATO operations with less calculated and precise planning. In fact, I don't think I've seen a NATO operation AS precisely planned. Or as effective and devastating. Sure, TayTay will come back (her teenaged fans are both gullible and deluded) but there's no denying KK landed some fierce punches to the gut and won this round.

And hell yeah she had her lawyers all over that shit. Girl is lawyered UP. Her father was a lawyer, you don't think she'd have some serious legal power on her side? KK wouldn't have planned all this (with her mother and PR people) without consulting a lawyer.

And I don't think she's done either, Anon. I think momma hen is sitting on some more eggs.

>>452 Yep. I hate myself for typing this and I am surely going to hell, but GO KIM!!! If she has a photo of TayTo getting it on at the Met Gala I will send her actual money.

But "even" a video of TS approving the bitch line would suffice.

Did you see too how Mother Jenner lulled everyone into a false sense of security a few days before by saying she shipped TayTo and wasn't it sweet they were happy together? What she forgot to say: "Enjoy the Hiddleconda, bee-yach, because it's all you'll have to console you in a week's time."

http://idly.craveonline.com/2016/07/taylor-swift-kim-kardashian-famous-twitter-kanye/#/slide/1

I like the bile being spewed here...and the truth.

>>453 'Don't worry, Tay, we love you, we love you. I'm stroking your cheek with one hand...don't worry about what the other is doing, don't.you.worry!' Hahahahaha. Someone got played!

A pic of Tayto kissing at the Met Ball would be glorious. And much, much harder for her robotically fawning fans to explain away...and his.

PS even if KW told TS she was being recorded, people are very good about forgetting what they said, until it is played back to them. I have seen on many occasions transcripts of what I said in court (so many arrests over the years!) (only kidding) and it is an odd experience. Some of it you clearly recall saying and some not at all - and it is my job to remember stuff like that. Butbit happensa all the time - so many cases feature at least one absolutely key conversation that two apparently normal people with no agenda recall completely differently from one another.

For someone who lives and breathes entitlement it would be even easier, I think, to tell yourself that you said this and that, and that you definitely didn't say the other.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zWjO0FNoqk

James Corden may have to promise more leopards and penguins to get TH back on. The 'I don't know if she's dating someone' and 'she keeps her personal life private' bits will sting.

>>457 LOL but I doubt Corden would have to apologize, after all he did him the courtesy of not mentioning his name.

>>454 I know that most, if not all, highly successful business people get that way by being ruthless people. But wow, she really strikes me as a horrible, horrible person, who's been that way for a loooong time. Most successful people don't get to be this bad till they are aged at least 35.

>>459 She really is. I read some of that stuff yesterday and it made me realize that her fans must know it too, so the reason they adore her it's not because she is a nerdy, underdog (pfft her parents bought her a label company so she could début her yapping) turned into a swan, but because she is a bully who gets away with it by victimizing herself. How anyone could ever label her a symbol of feminism and a role model for young girls is beyond me.

What's worse, it took us, almost completely ignorant about her, a bit of googling to find out and we are not dating her.

Did someone already post these? Apologies if so. My brain has finally fuddled from a combination of heat and having to support KK.

http://everydayfeminism.com/2015/09/taylor-swift-white-feminism/

http://www.bustle.com/articles/131069-5-important-reasons-i-cant-love-taylor-swift-anymore

Also from having to say, "yeah, this Bustle article really nails the squad thing."

>>460 Having observed her stans in the wild on Tumblr, I think they are mostly as emotionally and intellectually stunted as she is. And just chronologically young.

So, they are mostly too young to recall that the feminist movement has been criticised since the very start for failing to take account of non middle class, non white perspectives (or how you might address that and still be a feminist). Or to have read much actual feminist thought.

As a result they think that white non intersectional feminism is the real deal, and they worship its purveyor in an uncritical way.

They are too young to have been discriminated against on grounds of gender - my personal experience has been that it is only when you get past 30 that you really start to suffer in the workplace (there are fewer women in general as they drop out to have kids, so fewer female voices supporting a different perspective; you don't have that nubile beauty of youth that carries almost all women along for a while and makes them popular with old sexist guys; you start to speak with the authority of age and therefore represent a threat and cease to fit the "cute silent girl" stereotype).

Therefore they don't by and large understand the need for feminism or what it is fighting against (preferential treatment of young pretty blonde girls like TS matters a lot more when she is in your workplace and you are 35).

They want to fit in so they say "I am post feminist" so as not to appear threatening to boys.

They are idealistic. No bad thing in many ways, but they just don't have that ear for dog whistle racism (and other dog whistles that people might blow). They take people at face value.

>>462 Bless your heart. I would have gone with: They STUPID. I wouldn't have even wasted a verb on them.

>>462 Hah. They don't even know what post-feminist means.
>>457 Corden has very little chill when it comes to big media events and I love him for it.
>>461 The bustle article better states what I was rambling about in >>430 plus Anon astutely pointing out in >>436 that TS is likely espousing Republican values.

An aside, which help strengthened the bully/narcissist explanation. This 2 week old craveonline article, http://idly.craveonline.com/2016/07/breaking-taylor-swift-overly-sensitive-insanely-petty/#/slide/1 , gets to the heart of why CH and TS broke. Which I, needing details, was missing in terms of the timeline. In the second half of the article starting with "So, I guess the big news today..." it explains that she took CH saying in an interview when the song broke that he and she would not be working together as being disrespectful EVEN THOUGH she didn't want them to be seen as working together and went so far as to use a pseudonym. 15 months into a relationship and she snaps.

She needs to have things stated just so or she takes them the wrong way and gets table flipping mad and brings out her bully trifecta of 'my squad,' 'my bf' and 'my money' into the press like fingers-in-the-ears lalalalalalala ICANTHEARYOUOVERTHESOUNDOFMYAWESOMENESS. Borderline personality disorder, maybe?

TH has put two and two together and that's why he's so stifled regarding any mention of her. It's like invisible claws around his neck.

For the record, just because I speak out against TS doesn't mean I like KW and KKW. I don't. I feel sorry for their children.

Why is he so extremely pretty in this photo and such a tit in real life?

http://lokiperfection.tumblr.com/post/147656191997

Not sure if this one was posted but Cosmo
really let Taylor have it and didn't hold back. Of course Tom's name was pulled into it but they didn't attack him, instead it sounds like they're saying she used him too http://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/news/a61508/taylor-swift-playing-the-victim/

The most recent DM article is just a stream of word vomit based on the IG pic with the two young fans I posted a day or so ago. I won't bother linking to it.

Interesting though is that they're not accepting comments on the article. I've only ever seen the DM do that with articles about current legal cases or issues.

The comments on past articles were a few things: hilarious and consistently anti-TayTo. Hmmmm.

Sorry to report this, anonsy. I know you might be taking out a small loan to cover the tinfoil purchases at this point!!

>>468 I was just about to post this but then wondered if my computer was malfunctioning... so they do this for litigious cases only?
What has been noticeable since "Christmas in July' is the complete 180 turnaround in DM text. They went from complete shade to no shade. They've been bought.

We need some kind of tinfoil temple of refuge and prayer.
This combined with the wiping clean of snake and poo emojis and negative comments on IG says TS is attempting to wipe her slate clean

>>470 I just looked and there are plenty o' poos on her IG. Whoever's responsible for manually removing them - some miserable intern at her PR company - must be taking his 10 minute break.

The DM hasn't been completely kind. They posted about Piers Morgan appearance on morning tv, during which he suggested that they rename TS 'Pinocchio Swift.' But I'll be interested to see if comments are allowed on the next Tayto article and how they swing.

>>I assumed they'd clean up the poo while sweeping away the snakes. One emoji at a time I guess.. those poor interns.

Has Piers completely contradicted his arse- licking article defending TS in the height of TayTo? I had no idea. I've only seen this article and one other since news broke of the leaked tapes and both had the air of a daily Nazi bulletin. Blatant propaganda, made even more frightening by the removal of the comments section.

I also look forward to the next Tayto article.

>>472 I don't think the headline has changed but I may not have caught it early.
In regards to point 3, the fact that this PR piece is knowingly planting a fan photo from Sunday and using it to insinuate it was taken after Christmas in July broke (which is not true) makes me wonder if the other fan photo from IG of Tom and a fan in LA is in fact true and they are masking their Houdini escape.
If TH doesn't go jogging tomorrow then I'd say TayTo are in LA. Maybe they took a submarine

>>473 I doubt Tom would have more than a week to take off from filming so soon after arriving. It's easy to forget these days but he is actually working in Oz. Plus the hair in the IG photo was wrong.

>>468 >>470 I've taken out a small mortgage on my tinfoil cave to build a tinfoil chapel and meditation grotto in the backyard. Votive candles can be lit in prayer for one dollar each. Proceeds will go to the "Hire a Competent Damage Control PR Specialist for Tom Hiddleston" fund.

1. A brand new dailymail article about a savage "RIP Swift" mural/painting in n Australia just went up, since KK killed her reputation. It's brutal. Sad.
2. The comment section is officially up on the most recent TH article! Wow. Maybe it was just a mistake.
3. TH and TS will definitely make a Houdini exit, love that phrase by the way! But that LAX fan photo had TH in a suit jacket, and TH only wears suits when he has a to go directly to an event from the airport, and I don't think that he has an event in LA that I know of, do you?

>>474 The Hemsworth has had this week off so it's not a reach that Tom has too. Actors are rarely needed on set 24/7, especially in an ensemble film like this where he has at most a bit part, he will have blocks off.
Also, I'm debunking the hair theory. Take another look at that fan photo from Sunday with the kids.
>>475 He does own other clothes, just never wears them. Who are we to know if he has an event in LA. I would have thought Tay Tay would want to flee back to the motherland the moment hell broke loose. Any supportive bf with time off would have flagged down the nearest stealth bomber.
Also, that photo could have been taken in the Gold Coast for all we know, the poster has not confirmed a location or a time, he's just excepted Swiftie gratitudes and deleted comments by doubting ex- Hiddlestoners

>>476 Tom's shirt is even weirdly wrinkled in the same places as in the Variety photo shoot from April, and I do still think his hair is too short now, particularly on the sides. Tom's body positioning and the framing of the photo are consistent with when he takes selfies. The original poster's friends' comments were along the lines of "LMAO" which to me says the caption about Taylor was some kind of inside joke. But more importantly, nothing will convince me that Tom AND Taylor managed to get through 2-3 airports and commercial airline flights without a more legitimate sighting - not a paparazzi pic, not a fan photo of the both of them, not a tweet from someone on one of their flights.

I wasn't aware Chris had an entire week off - I thought he was just at a resort for the weekend.

>>476 >>477

He does seem to be wearing the same jacket and shirt as on the Variety photos.

The hair didn't seem that different to me from how it looks in recent pics.

But I agree - how has he made it through 3 airports to LA without anyone knowing? Or, if he has, this is even more proof that TayTo are full of shit when it comes to pap strolls.

>>477 I agree it's highly unlikely they Houdini'd. I'll give you the wrinkle receipts and the unlikelihood that he's changed his clothes for the first time in a month but I'm sticking by the hair- that's the one thing I'm good at. I watch follicles and faces like a hawk.
Plus I severely doubt he would have been able to even fake a smile yesterday, let alone allow a selfie in the company of the most mocked woman in the world.

TS is probably up in that luxury suite Colombian line dancing like Scarface, throwing televisions off the balcony and dislodging the the basin from the wall. Like a real rock star. The new hard rock Swift will emerge, complete with a shaved head and running mascara.

>>479 Time to go on Twitter and follow the Emmys accounts. No time to tweet supportively of his GF. Way to go Tom. She must be furious.

>>479 Maybe Tom wears a hairpiece. I worked for a man once who had a very realistic hairpiece that sat kind of like Tom's hair does, now that I'm thinking about it. He still had his real hair on the sides of his head, but the top was very thinned out so he supplemented it with a piece. It was really high quality and blended well with what was left of his own hair, the only way you could tell it was fake was that the top of his hair always looked the same.

Taylor Smith :)))

>>480 Has he really been on twitter? Pointing towards more of a dog eat dog relationship than true love.
>>841 This is something I've wondered but I don't think he's gone there yet. He wouldn't be able to jog and sweat profusely with a hairpiece. He's better off having implants and may have already started as it's a slow process.
>>482 This is my hometown and the second 'Taylor Smith' mural to burn my retinas. At least this one is smaller. She is very unpopular here, it's a lot like Portland with the overbearing hipster populace. They will turn out in droves to mock her.
I'm loving the number of commenters, DM writers included, who can't seem to grasp that the misspelling of her last name is intentional.

>>482 Lol! I wonder if the artist is telling the truth about the last name being a mistake, or if they knew of Taylor's tendency to sue people who offend her and used the wrong last name on purpose.

Here's an interesting little tidbit off tumblr. TS follows cheers-mrhiddleston. Isn't that a thing. She isn't very active on tumblr these days, so I would bet that that follow happened a while back. Has TS had a crush on him for a while? It would also explain the Twitter follow from years back. When he came on the scene in May CH never stood a chance, I bet. That might explain the warp speed (from her perspective anyway). She is always extra and now she is extra with someone she has had an Internet boyfriend crush on.

>>485 Just looked at cheers-mrhiddleston's tumblr. Whether it was as a crush or as a potential business asset, it looks like Tom's had a target on his back for two years:
http://cheers-mrhiddleston.tumblr.com/post/147679575657/someones-anon-on-a-swift-blog-said-that-youd

>>480 He said they are together and they are happy, 5 days ago, he even used her full name! What more do you want? That he would actually take a stand? ;)

>>485,486 More than a crush I'd say a project, I bet she has a
lost of potential bfs to pursue when the time is right. I also bet that she planned everything for the Met Gala, the topics he would like, how to flatter him "ISTL is a magnificent film, those critics don't know shit!" the invitation to dance.

This is just weak. She could hear voices but she didn't know she was on speaker. Yeah, right. http://m.tmz.com/#article/2016/07/20/taylor-swift-kanye-west-famous-secret-tape/

>>487 I'm with you on this.

>>487 *lost list

>>487 I second the list. Her bf's are always the men of the moment and she no doubt had a tumblr curiosity about the size of Little Hiddles. Hopefully TS didn't look up the bicycle blogs list of his sexual preferences and is only offering anal.
>>488 Surely going legal would be the nail in her coffin but she is the queen of petty. She won't sit this out or hide for much longer.

I wonder if TH was in attendance at the party where EO met TS and made a fool of herself... possibly back in March- she talked about it early May.

>>488 sounds like she is fishing to find out how much more material they have.

>>491 I think now EO doesn't mind so much.

>>480 Of course he's going to use his twitter account to follow Emmy accounts. That twitter acct is all business now.

Also he's not going to comment on his private life online...some things have to remain sacred. Duh!

3 mil followers

>>495 Bloody hell, where did they come from? Last I looked he had 1.9m.

Taylor must have spent a packet getting all the fake accounts that follow her to follow him. Still, they will only be temporary and when they split, the followers will all disappear.

A thought - he must be in his way to Comic Con now, surely? Where are the pap pics? Or has TayTay invested in a stealth bomber due to Media Intrusion?

>>496 It has been increasing at the same rate it was increasing before really, maybe slightly quicker but not much. How many are fake or how many are outlets that thought he used twitter I don't have the strength to investigate.

But considering the 70m following TS, he is still kind of irrelevant on socials. Let's face it, who made TH famous on socials were his fans not him.

>>497 he is due on Saturday, he might leave later today (Oz time), using the cover of the night.

>>496 Before the Swift affair surfaced he had 2.71 mil followers. I'm sure.

>>500 Maybe - I had recalled it was 1.75 but I haven't been keeping track so much as of his follows.

>>500 You are correct - I looked almost immediately after the RI pics came out because I knew I'd be curious to see how his follower count changed because of it.

hahahaha, please make this happen!
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3699572/Chris-Hemsworth-says-gladly-replace-Daniel-Craig-007-James-Bond-Movie.html

>>503 TH's soul would collapse in on itself like an unstable black hole.

The crush of TS/TH anons has toppled thiddyastro (http://thiddyastro.tumblr.com/post/147666020029/i-started-this-blog-in-the-summer-of-2014-as-a)

>>505 I didn't believe what she was selling but I am sad she has gone. It was a bit of harmless fun. And she got death threats? Give me strength.

>>506 I was surprised to hear she's quitting for good. I hadn't read her blog in quite a while, only a couple of times since the bomb dropped mid-June. I was reading her blog when she predicted late last year that in 2016 he needed to watch his back. At the time people were expecting that to be due to something with EO. That sounds like child's play compared to what's going on now.

>>502 His twitter has 2,999,142 as of this moment (hover your cursor over the 3M).

She is basically a bitch: http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/music/artist-threatened-legal-action-taylor-swift-death-mural-article-1.2718719

Apparently she has never taken legal action against any white supremacist organisation using her image.

LOL

*double post, sorry M

http://www.fastcocreate.com/3059033/why-the-new-taylor-swift-apple-spot-isnt-a-toothpaste-ad

Going back to JVR's tweets calling out the ad agency's plagiarism on her Apple ads, this article proves there was no ad agency involved, the concept originated from TS herself.

"There was no ad agency on this campaign, just Swift, Jackson and director Anthony Mandler...... Taylor came to us with an idea, and I protected it for dear life, because it's that good."
Ahem

While on the subject of backtracking, fellow SI castmate Jason deleted his tweets in support of KK

>>512 Thanks for this. On more than one occasion she's used someone else's intellectual or artistic property without giving credit. I think someone mentioned the fox drawing controversy somewhere upthread. And this from someone who protects her own name, image, lyrics, etc like a overly litigious pit bull. It the usual 'one rule for Tay, another for everyone else' policy that she maintains.

>>512 Let's hope someone capped them and can remind him of them. It seems like The Taylor Swift Hypocrisy Express is stopping at all stations and picking up all passengers. Ticket cost: self-respect

And can't JVR put his foot in it and then quickly find himself up to his stupid neck!
I think Anon once described him as having the intellect of a peanut. Yep. I hope he features prominently in the marketing - the cringe will be magnificent.

I fear this means that all the fun during SI wasn't because he was running such a tight ship that there was a lot of room for fun, or because he wanted the cast to bond and relax and give a better performance. It was because he has the intellect of a peanut and someone foolishly gave him 200 million to make a movie and he saw it as an opportunity to be silly and have fun, as if he were at summer camp. I'd hazard a guess that JVR lives the life of a man constantly at summer camp.

The small part of my heart that can still produce sympathy in this situation doesn't want TH to suffer yet another flop on top of all the Tayto fuckery, but I'm worried about Shit Island.

>>513 There is nothing whatsoever ambiguous about JM's tweet:

lmao kim let that tea brew for months to bring out the flavor for taylor to enjoy 💀

He's been forced to retract. The question is who forced him: JVR, TS & Her Litigious Pit Bulls, Legendary or TH?

As for JVR, surely someone will point out his hypocrisy in deflecting his anger away from TS and blaming a non- existent ad agency. She has clearly ripped off his friend.

This weekend will be fascinating.
My money is on TS flying with TH to LA firmly clutching hands the whole way.

If he magically leaves Oz without any pap strolls then I will redecorate my entire neighbourhood in foil including the residents and assume TS escaped 10 days ago after her last sighting and is in hiding on a lunar orbital station and TH has mastered the art of ghosting

>>515 My money would be on JVR as he had his own Tayto problems and probably gave JM a heads up. And JM has retweeted one of JVR's tweets about not always watching Snapchat. HA!

This panel will either be boring because eveyone is going to be walking on eggshells and on their best behavior or it's going to be a disasterous mix of embarrassment and comedy.

In my dream, Conan introduces TH using lyrics and quotes from TS songs and continues to work them into the conversation. In my wet dream, Conan comes on with an I Heart Kong tshirt.

>>512 so I'm wearing my tinfoil bikini (it's too bloody hot for anything else) and say that if the idea came from TS I bet she saw that RT from TH about JVR's friend I posted upthread and made something similar on purpose.

Given all the backtracking I'd say TS is going to be at SDCC. Apparently nobody wants to spend money on lawyers because their castmate's gf is suing. Which means they are all going to be pissed off at TH for forcing them to be hypocrites.

>>510 https://au.be.yahoo.com/entertainment/celebrity/a/32109531/melbournes-rip-taylor-swift-mural-got-a-bizarre-facelift/#page1

she won't be able to press charges now, unless she admits to look like a gorilla.

>>516 The few times I've watched Conan since he went over to TBS, he has less chill than ever. He doesn't know when to/like to stop when he's irritated. This could end badly. And sadly, I don't even think I care as much as I might have last week.

>>518 But that's just cray cray. I can fathom TS accompanying him to LA simply because she needs a show of support pap stroll but actually turning up to SDCC! That makes no sense at all. Do any so's ever go? It's a work conference ffs. She would be such an unwelcome distraction. Unless he is using her for the films' promotion
She would deflect the narrative away from Shit Island onto her.
Way to piss off all his castmates.
That would be the frostiest panel ever.
>>516 I hope this Conan stirs some shit up too.
>>517 That's some reach there, you may be overheated, or you may be psychic.
The girl has AGENDA as her middle name

>>521 I know it's crazy, and most unlikely to happen, but bullies don't ever admit they are wrong, spoiled brat entitled bullies even less. I know it'd be absurd but I can imagine her thinking "I have to show I will not be cowered into a corner" and if she is there people will be afraid to make jokes in her presence.
TH doesn't have the balls to tell her no, he gave up wearing his eyeglasses when he is with her in public for image purposes!

I maybe be overheated, hahaha

So JVR has not only backtracked but he has tweeted saying that it is the talent that determines the content of pop videos; and that KW has stolen stuff from other artists; and that people should pay attention to things other than snapchat; and entered into dialogue with other users saying no he wasn't dragging TS, how very dare they (yes, I said he had the intellectual and emotional maturity of a peanut).

Where it gets fun: our old mate Firenbrenie tweeted him the article Anonon found. Waves to Firenbrenie! He didn't reply.

>>523 what a piece of cowardly hypocritical peanut!

But I'm not surprised, he is preparing the ground in case he gets asked about her.

What a hot mess.

>>523 I noticed an anon who I think was her on tumblr last week, somewhere that I didn't bookmark. I recognized her speech pattern. She said TH needed a wholesome girl.

>>523 >>524 Mexican wave to Firenbrenie!
In terms of acknowledging content theft though, that investigative journalism is not my own, credit goes to a tumblrite I chanced upon so kudos to them.
That peanut JVR needs to reel it in. Exactly how many music videos/ TVCs has he directed? I've worked on at least 200 TVCs and 50 music videos so beat that you imbecile.
It seems a case of the lady protesting too much, something ironically TS is famous for, to overcompensate for being caught out.
I'm going to go out on a limb and declare he knew what he was insinuating in his original tweet- the timing was too perfect and then his balls turned into bicycle wheels and back- peddled up his arse.

My personal theory is that both JVR and JM are basically stupid. So they tweeted these things without thinking. And then 24 hours later (or less for VR because people told him straight away!) they thought "oh shit, yeah, I am seeing TH later this week...."

I know it sounds simple. I just think these people live for the moment - they leap on Twitter to comment on the latest controversy and get some likes. And that's all they are thinking about. Then the penny drops. Just as it previously did for JVR when he posted that Hawaii pic (some sympathy for the shitstorm he got then, but to engage in controversy about TH's girlfriend twice shows he is as dumb as a box of rocks).

Not many in showbiz are as smart and as reflective as TH. Or as calculating. Maybe he and TS are made for each other.

>>525 There are no wholesome girls in the entertainment industry. I've even met Christian band campers who were messy drunk slappers.
If TS doesn't do drugs as she declares she's as wholesome as they get.
Some of her squad members/ ex bfs have collectively snorted Mt Everest so it seems likely this is just another aspect of her image control.

>>527 They both appear to have been hit with the stupid stick. I could see this being their inner narrative.
TS matches TH in terms of calculating, but smart? She ain't dumb, but she's not the sharpest tool in the shed. The sharp pretty tools don't seem to want to date TH though, so this may be his best bet.

>>523 >>524 I'm not surprised either. He's probably hoping to channel some of the TS attention into Shit Island promotion. I don't think for a second that he accidentally posted those pics of EO with the SI cast on Instagram either - he knew it would cause drama and get attention.

Also - this is something that REALLY gets on my nerves - I hate that the director of a KING KONG MOVIE is on TWITTER berating people for discussing a Snapchat video and reading TWITTER, the very platform he's using to bitch people out. Who does he think he is? Same thing when Selena Gomez was tweeting for people to pay attention to "important" things instead of the Kimye/Taylor drama. Like you do realize you're a pop star from the Disney Channel, right Selena?

AND - I get annoyed at the implication that because something is happening in the entertainment world it's not relevant. Entertainment and celebrities have a tremendous impact on culture.

It's just been announced TH will do Nerd HQ and signing!

He's game... what's the bet TS has enlisted him into making a supportive statement something along the lines of her squad

>>531 All we've gotten out of Tom is the same statement twice, in print - not even live. If he didn't talk with Josh Horowitz about it when things were good, I don't think he's going to talk about it with Zachary Levi now that things have turned bad in Swiftland. I predict there will be an embargo on Taytay discussion.

>>531 I'm so happy, it's a bit late as announcement.

http://registration.thenerdmachine.com/conversation-schedule

>>532 Questions are not screened at Nerd HQ, but I suppose Levi could tell the audience to not ask.

>>529 I kind of meant smart as in low cunning. I think TH tries to see the chess board 10 moves ahead. He still gets it wrong because he totally lacks that sense that say Kim Kardashian has for how things will play out from a PR perspective. But he tries, and so does TS (with much more success than him until recently).

Most stars I feel are neither intellectually clever nor cunning/smart. A thought pops into their brains and they tweet without thinking of the consequences. If they are smart enough to think 10 moves ahead they usually aren't interested in doing so (eg I am sure Spielberg could see the consequences of a stupid ass tweet about TS but he isn't interested in that shit full stop). TH, KK and TS have in common that they play the game and are also aware that it has ramifications.

I suppose the problem for TH is that at the moment Little Hiddles is calling the shots.

>>532 I agree anonsy, I don't think he will want to comment in an uncontrolled situation and still less now there is a lot to comment about.

I am not sure that Zachary Levi would allow it either. He seems a good guy and tough enough to shut down any heckling.

I also think that people aren't actually likely to ask those questions in the smaller nerd hq setting. It's fairly intimate and well lit so he can see the audience, so social pressure is perhaps more likely to act as a restraint.

Hall H and/or the evening sesh with a less sensitive host - anything goes!

>>533 If he plays this well as he has done in the past he will win back a lot of his fans, it's a very smart move now I think about it, albeit a bit desperate.
>>535 KK is in another league as a player. I can't believe she let that tea brew so long, sitting on it while watching her pray slowly dig her grave.
TH could never play that kind of long game, not without a gag and a harness. TS strikes me as someone who gets her way all the time and if she doesn't, she or her gang will push you over in the playground and point and laugh.

TH must be having a panic session at the beauty salon right now:
'Give me all the needles, treatments and all the spare hairz you have.'

>>538 Hahaha! I look forward to your analysis of what he has had done before SDCC.

>>538 Preview of Tom's Comic Con look:
http://i5.walmartimages.com/asr/ea514119-84a4-42e7-9f3c-5acd46b18a6f_1.0e871a309aac01ccfe7fe79229860f1b.jpeg

>>540 Oh that's perfect!

Will he rehabilitate himself by nerd hq, I wonder? My suspicion is not if he brings her with him to CC, or even if he brings her to San Diego.

>>540 Bwahahahaa yass

For reference- the last sighting in daylight:
http://www.laineygossip.com/(F(f))/Tom-Hiddleston/Celebrity/21222

Deep set frown lines, fairly solid and shiny forehead, frightening hairline and a look that would kill- literally.

JVR did reply to Firenbrenie!!

"Welp...shit"

https://twitter.

com/firenbrenie/status/755978523232395264

Hahahahaha!!!! Hahahaha hahahahahaa!!!!! I would love to be a fly on the wall when he meets TS and has to look her in the eyes knowing she stole his friend's stuff.

>>543 what a moron

>>543 HAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh my God.

At least he had the decency to (sort of) acknowledge he was wrong.

>>540 hahaha oh yes, he will bring his A game, tight shirt, blue colour, smiles, self-deprecating attitude, puppy eyes and "I'm a poor victim face".

>>547 You forgot to add, "and his panties in a bunch."

>>548 right! he wears panties now.

>>543 LOL is that all he's got? Welp...shit?
I would love it if he had a man to man with TH but it's not really his issue, it's his so's and they have work to do.
Hopefully TS lets him off the leach so he can get mercilessly drunk with old mates and cry.
>>544 I doubt anyone on this board will be swayed but there's a lot of fairweather friends in the fandom who can be won back with a charming smile, tight clothes and smooth talking: >>547
>>548 LOL again

Olly just arrived in LA

>>550 speaking of "smart as a box of rocks."

TH spent every waking moment with this guy until he discovered TS. Maybe we should have seen the signs that he was as shallow as a paddling pool.

>>550 In a way, what else can JVR say? He has a beef with TS, then he remembered that maybe it wasn't such a good idea to voice that publicly, then someone gave him the receipts. He may already know she will be joining them in SD, and he definitely knows he'll see TH, but he still can't say, "I revert to my original view that she is a thriving conniving bitch." She would knife him.

Thieving, even!!

>>551 Really the signs have been everywhere. He hasn't exactly sought the company of Rhodes scholars. We were all falsely lulled by his wordy wordsmith interviews when in fact he hangs with bro's and says 'yo'

>>554 I will never forgive him for Selena Gomez dad dancing. NEVAH

>>550 once I would have wondered if it meant that TH was also in LA, now I only want to know the brand of Olly's tshirt.

>>547 Yep, he will do this exactly. I'm going to remain strong and just stick a picture of him in the TS vest to my screen to ward off any relapse.

>>556 It looks like a Gorillaz shirt to me.

>>558 Yes, that's why it felt familiar! Thank you :)

The Daily Beast took my idea and ran with it. She supports Trump, guys.

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/07/20/taylor-swift-s-loud-election-silence-and-connection-to-donald-trump.html

How long do we give this relationship?

>>560 !!!!!!!!! Honestly I think it's already over and he's just riding it out until an appropriate breakup time.

Is that firenbrenie our Lex? I looked at the acct and there isn't a 'blonde whore' comment in the bunch. A lot of anti-TS retweets and tweets but not any hate like EO got. There's also no cuckoo declarations of love for TH which I think people mentioned being on her original twitter. If it's our Lex, she's being medicated now.

What is 'firenbrenie' anyways? Is that a name that someone would want to scoop up after it was abandoned? And there's no pic of Lucille, instead it's an actual selfie...of a blonde woman!

Finally the tweet she sent before the receipts was: 'The back peddling makes my hamstrings ache in sympathy. Hopefully you stretched before this tweet.' Isn't that too clever and grammatically correct for our Lex?

Everything is getting soooo strange. This is some Looking Glass level shit.

>>560 the more I find out about this horrible girl, the more respect I lose for TH.

>>561 he just said a week ago that they are together and happy, he can't lose all these "deep" feelings in one go. Too bad for him the more he stays the worse it gets.

>>560 I think the problem here is that both Kushner brothers are rather liberal - or as liberal as two good, Jewish boys from the UES can be. The Observer - the paper Jared owns - is fairly moderate to liberal in its reporting and op-ed pieces as well. Yes, one has had to 180 because he married Trump's daughter, but I think the one dating K Kloss is still the very definition of a champagne liberal.

I'd look more to her friends who released the 3 Couples pic. Those two are, I believe, official Trump supporters and more indicative of the childhood/adolescence TS would have experienced, and how it would have formed her political views.

I thought it was TS people deleting the snake emoji from her account, instead it's instagram, going as far as banning people.
http://www.refinery29.com/2016/07/117265/leslie-jones-twitter-taylor-swift-instagram-censoring

>>561 Contract, PRmance, showmance, real - whatever it is, I don't think it's ovah. I feel that the wearing of the t-shirt and the allowing her to go/taking her to Oz was TH digging his trench. Sure, the shelling is pretty fierce at the moment - I mean Ardennes forest fierce - but I don't see him as the sort to give up now. Remember: he trotted his mother out to give this relationship legitimacy. That's too big an investment to end it after a month.

>>565 I think that article is just reiterating what we have spoken about here- that TS most likely paid for preferential treatment on IG to have the emojis removed. It is not standard practise.
I noticed some fans complaining that they couldn't upload any photos on the #tomhiddleston page and just checked. The newest photo is 12hrs old. Same with #taylorswift.
Make of that what you will, tinfoilers!

I genuinely don't know what will happen in Hall H or at NerdHQ, but neither does TH. And that's where my schadenfreude comes in. Sure Luke will have given him some best case scenarios. He may have even given him some worst case ones. And Luke may have placed very strict 'don't mention the TS' restrictions on both of those events. But at the end of the day, TH can't account for the actions of unknown human beings or every human being...and that must be killing him.

Both may run as smooth as silk but the anxiety he is experiencing now is the rod he made for his own back.

>>563 "Together and happy" isn't exactly deep, though. I think his lone pathetic statement about the relationship was another sad attempt to discredit the media's stance that Hiddleswift is a big sham. It doesn't seem to have worked though, especially now that the Kanye footage has been released and the timing of the RI pics coincides with Kim's initial interview about having the video. It's all very suspect.

The two reasons I can come up with for him sticking around are PR and/or sex. I don't believe that there was ever anything beyond surface level attraction between the two of them, and if there is any physical relationship I'd say it's mediocre at best - I base this on how they interact with each other, with slight support from comments made by her exes. And, like Taylor's relationship with Calvin, it will likely be over for weeks before they make any kind of official breakup announcement in People or whatever - give the public and the tabloids time to start speculating, and then confirm it. When this will happen is anyone's guess, though. Weeks, months, who knows.

As much as Tom's former image appears to have been manufactured to an extent, I do think his few political comments were genuine. Pro-Bernie, pro-Corbyn, anti-Farage, anti-Trump. If it is true that Taylor is far-right politically and a Trump supporter, he wouldn't able to tolerate her for any significant length of time - or vice versa. I believe there's always room for compromise and whatnot, but I just can't see a relationship working between two people whose worldviews are so disparate.

>>567 Whoa. I do NOT like this. Frankly, this is more shameful than the damn shirt.

I've seen it mentioned that sometimes her page is "locked" because porn IGs are spamming it - and you know, THE CHILDREN, we have to think of the children! If this is the case, they block the page and put up a notice saying that something strange is happening and all will be back to normal soon. But has TH's page ever been locked? Is this Turkey? China? Social media is meant to be about a democratic sharing of images, thoughts, ideas. This is Sha-dee.

>>566 I agree, but at the same time walking out now might be the lesser of two evils, for him, which is why he won't.

>>567 somehow I remembered reading it was people in her staff. Ha, money can buy a lot of silence.

>>568 yep, I mean Luke can't do anything if there are people wearing "I used to <3 TH" tanktops in Hall H. Right now, not knowing where the attack might come from must be a torture.

>>569 Me neither, but first time in 5 years he admits he's dating, that's deep for him.

I'd go with PR because I've never bought the sex part, mainly because before this started I think TH might, in small measure, have snapped his fingers and picked his favourite. I agree that the whole thing might end way before it becomes official, unless we are once again misjudging him.

Funny how all of a sudden they don't want to be seen together anymore.

>>570 It's one thing to lock down Swifts IG since she has been bullied but it makes no sense at all to lock down TH's. Is this a deliberate ploy to shut down social media prior to SDCC? Less photo leaks... more control of the narrative.

Also much easier for them to Houdini outta Oz

>>570 I just checked for myself and it is locked down when viewed via the UK as well. That page normally updates super frequently, like every 30 seconds, with all manner of spam that people tag him in.

Well, well. I was also super pissed off to see that not only were snake emojis removed, so were the posters' accounts. It's like social media for communist China.

If we want to see him/them leaving Oz I guess it's Twitter. I wait with bated breath to see how the Swifty stans manage to spin his escape from Oz totally without pap attention.
