Thread to talk about the actor Tom Hiddleston
>>501 Tom getting the James Bond gig was so far from my mind that I didn't even think of the possibility that the "Tom hates commitment" story was meant to call Bond to mind.
>>502 For the record, I think that TH has the work ethic and the looks to make an intriguing Bond after Daniel Craig finishes his contract (Gossip Cop already denied that DC got a 150 million dollar offer to continue, btw.) But only if Swift turns up lying down nude and comatose on a bed, and completely coated in gold paint, will this whole coupledom remind me of a Bond film : )
>>502 I vaguely recall discussing with slight derision a tabloids declaration of his 3 month dick alarm just before the summer of Swift as being suggestive that he is a Bond-esque manslut, not a 35yo virgin who romances in books and poetry as his fans were led to believe.
Perhaps this has all gone according to plan (aside from Selena Gomez, THAT wifebeater and all the hand kissing. I don't think Bond hand kisses across tables.
After parting from his so-called girlfriend Taylor Swift, 26, Etonian actor Tom Hiddleston, 35, has also fallen behind rival thespians vying for the role of James Bond. Bookies have reduced Hiddleston’s prospects of succeeding the current 007, Daniel Craig, after Craig was reportedly offered more than £100million to do two more films. Might the Hiddleston-Swift romance be the creation of public relations types? I am advised that Tom can still rely on the support of Luke Windsor, 32, described to me as his ‘friend, publicist and nanny’.
>>505 My goodness. Is this columnist asserting that Luke and Tom are a romantic item, because that would be one of the first times that the mainstream press has tried to imply that to the general public?
2. GossipCop has just verified from Team Tom that he never, ever, ever went ring shopping for TS, nor was he ever planning on proposing over. This faux breakup is becoming as testy and as unpleasant as a real one!
>>507 Eh, I took it like they're pulling out an old chestnut to fill the paragraph. Someone is always implying that, somewhere.
Below: This is the second article (can't remember the first) that said it's waiting for TH to say something directly about his breakup with TS. See the first sentence:
http://dlisted.com/2016/09/07/calvin-harris-is-still-talking-about-taylor-swift/
He has commented on his relationships before, barely, when asked, but this situation is so incendiary and tied to a contract (allegedly!) that I don't bet on a direct quote anytime soon, if ever. I think his PR will keep up this war in the press and keep him away from the mic through to and past the Emmys, and maybe through the Marvel shoot.
But nothing about the past 3 months has been normal so who knows.
I returned after 2 weeks of travel through the former Yugoslavia. Can somebody tell me what I missed?
My goodness! Now Taylor and Tree Paine are asserting in the UK papers, that the claims that Tom grew tired of her, and that he is a commitment-phobe, are definitely quotes from Team Tom for sure! So she's the self-proclaimed victim who will rise, again. This is just messy...
It's been claimed that the Bad Blood singer was dumped by Tom after he “grew tired” of her.
But now a source close to Taylor has told The Sun that she's not going to let it bother her.
“Taylor knows what went on with Tom and won’t be affected by his team’s claims,” they said.

>>509 OOO the Dalmatian coast and Dubrovnik are my favorite places. I'd much rather hear about your travels.
You haven't missed much. They split but it was as exciting as opening a bottle of flat warm champagne. After endless weeks of ghosting each other they finally admitted it was over and the tabloids are fighting over whodunnit to a collective yawn.
Some speculators have returned to wondering if TH is gay, others declare he is an innocent who was used and abused by the evil witch, conspiracy theorists are running amok and the rest think he's a daft twat and wish he would stop flashing his juicy thighs.
Cogitating expression AND thinking man, Oh Lord!

>>508 Harris stating that he imposed his conditions on her and she accepted them for so long was interesting, clearly TayTo was a circus because TH was ok with it being a circus (which everyone except for CB's nannies knew already), TH could have drawn lines like Harris did but he didn't because he wanted to be a celeb.
As for TH commenting directly, on one side one could say he is too passive aggressive and spineless to do that, but on the other there was one time when he did: with SF and she did the dumping. Of course they were also represented by the same PR agency and he was the strongest party, SF was always mum on the subject even when asked about it.
Sure, this battle on tabloids doesn't improve his position.
Lucky 13 :))))
Apparently, Podrick from GOT on HBO thinks that the new James Bond should be more macho than Hiddleston, b/c Hiddleston couldn't even handle Swift as a bf. Ouch. The men of 2016 are so catty! It reminds me of my high school days.
'I'd like to see a more macho Bond': Game Of Thrones actor Daniel Portman reveals how he feels about Tom Hiddleston as the single star lands in Sydney for Oz Comic-Con. Speaking ahead of his Oz Comic-Con appearance this weekend, the 24-year-old bachelor said: 'I like Tom Hiddleston as an actor but he's... I'd like to see a more macho Bond.'

But seriously, this is why he was never my first choice if they're going to continue to the brutal killer mode they've been in with Daniel Craig, despite some of the bare-hand killing scenes in The Night Manager. He's missing that final layer that says Definitive Bond. He looks too debonair.
Tom Hardy or Idris Elba? They could walk away with that.
>>505 the interesting thing about Eprahim Hardcastle, according to a poster on the latest CB thread, is that he (a pseudonym) publishes a lot of blind items and gossip, much of which is very reliable. What was interesting to me was not the comment about Luke, which I just took to mean what we all know, which is that TH is unaccountably reliant on Luke even though Luke is the most shit publicist ever. The interesting bit is that Mr Hardcastle doesn't think it was a real relationship. He has heard something on the grapevine, I'd guess.
>>518 Or he has eyes like the rest of us!
Actually, I'm not sold on the reliability of Hardcastle. I don't read him religiously but his column catches my eye often enough. He's a bit like us: he's good at reasoning out the not-so-obvious. He's doesn't often mention sources - and he doesn't even just stick to celebs and entertainment: he once wrote about Erdogan and Merkel. I've never seen him post a blind item, so that's strange - maybe I've just always missed them.
What the skinny on CB? Any laugh-out-loud bullshit from veranda or her ilk?
From the latest Dlisted thread:
http://blindgossip.com/?p=80713
Was this meant to be the lunch pictured in the DM? Somehow I can't see TH f-ing and jeff-ing his way through a string of pretty foul curse words, but he's not the dude we thought he was, so....
>>520 I couldn't see this either. British people do swear more than Americans, as you will recall, and posh British men often swear a lot. But still rarely the c word. And especially not directly of a woman. So a posh British bloke might say "X was behaving in a really c-ty way today" but not "Y is a c-t."
>>519 Verandah woman is pouring hate down on TS. Nothing we haven't said here (self-obsessed, permanent victim, immature, why does she alway wear that "hidden vibrator"' smile etc). But she has been jumping on anyone who even vaguely criticised EO so it is hilarious seeing her engage in the same behaviour. She has gone a bit nuts. It's like someone turned on a tap. She hasn't even been going on about the mimosas much because she is so focussed on sticking the knife in Swifty.
Otherwise over recent weeks CB has been oddly sensible. Lots of people saying similar stuff (were they rolling out the advance breakup stories). The one interesting thing is that there is a sharp divide between fake relationship and real relationship exploited for publicity. They seem pretty evenly split, even considering how many news outlets went with the "totally fake" story from the get go.
'She has gone a bit nuts.' HAHAHAHAHAH!!!! This made me laugh out loud for some reason.
Do the real/fake split runs along nanny/sensible fan lines. It's hard to admit your fav is problematic and whored out his family and personal life in a completely fake relationship, and did so all for attention/publicity. It's a crummy thing to do.
I would think veranda would be in the 'real' camp because she seems an uber-fan. Same with Crazy Smart and Berlinale. They would't - couldn't!!! - admit that he'd faked a romance; they would find that beneath him.
>>523 they all are in the "real" camp.
There is one poster on CB called bonzo, who is totally one of us. She has had an eye for his thirsty shenanigans for several years, so she thinks it is all of a piece. Other normal fans think: real(ish) but definitely sucked dry of all PR potential. Some other sensible bod said, celebs don't do normal relationships. For them, the PR benefit is something you just always consider and factor in when choosing someone (like some women date only rich men - they may find and genuinely be in love with a nice guy, but somehow he will always happen to be rich).
USW has had a troublesome and very clever rewrite.
While GC has debunked the ring shopping and talk of marriage and kids, TS once again emerges from a pile of stank smelling of roses. Poor hapless romantic sweet Tay who is confirmed to be furiously writing new music with her poison pen as we speak and just turned up to NYFW looking like Little Lord Fauntleroy
I clicked and took one for the team:
Taylor Swift is in love with love. The self--described hopeless romantic “dives headfirst into relationships,” a close Swift insider tells the new issue of Us Weekly. She admitted as much when speaking to Parade a few years back. “I don’t think there’s an option for me to fall in love slowly, or at medium speed,” she explained. “I either do or I don’t.” Her all-in approach means that once she clicks with a guy, she ignores potential pitfalls. “I don’t think it through, really, which is a good thing and a bad thing,” the pop star told the magazine. “You don’t look before you leap, which is like, Yay, this is awesome! Let’s not think twice!” When the relationship begins to unravel, however, the second-guessing kicks in. As Swift summed it up, “You’re like, ‘We used to be flying. Now we’re falling. What’s happening?’”
Her heart is crashing back to Earth once more. Multiple sources confirm the 26-year-old Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, native has ended her 12-week whirlwind romance with actor Tom Hiddleston. And the end came, well, as swiftly as its start. Just two months ago, says a Hiddleston friend, the 35-year-old London-born star — beloved for his role as Thor’s evil brother, Loki, in the Thor and Avengers films — was contemplating buying a ring for the 10-time Grammy winner. “He’s talked about all of it: marriage and kids,” the friend told Us at the time. “I wouldn’t be surprised if he proposed.” Indeed, the twosome flew back and forth across the Atlantic Ocean to introduce each other to their parents within days of their June 14 first date and swapped I love you’s before their one-month anniversary.
But it was too much, too fast. “It was an intense start,” says a Hiddleston family source. “No one can keep that kind of momentum going.” Echoes the close Swift insider, “They just dived in and it backfired.” Slowing the relationship down failed to save it, explains the insider: “They decided to take a break and it turned into a breakup.”
The space between them caused a chasm. After spending the early weeks of their romance together 24/7 — traveling from Nashville to England to Italy — the fledgling duo struggled when Hiddleston reported to Australia in early July to film Thor: Ragnarok. Though Swift — unfettered by work commitments, having wrapped her record--breaking 1989 World Tour last December — joined him at first, once she flew back home, “the distance was hard,” notes another close Swift source. “Especially because they were together every minute when they started dating. They’d gotten used to that.”
>>526 This screed was TOO LONG for the board.
Part II:
Weeks into long-distance love, their frustrations began boiling over, resulting in their first big blowout in early August. “It was a major argument,” confirms a source. “They fought about not spending enough time together.”
The revelation crushed Hiddleston, leaving the Eton- and Cambridge-educated star “embarrassed that the relationship fizzled out,” says the source close to the couple. Swift is also dismayed at the prospect of enduring yet another public breakup. Although the insider says Swift “doesn’t regret” allowing herself to be wooed by Hiddleston (he even sent flowers before their first date!), she wishes their early days could have been spent in private. “I think she feels a little embarrassed that the whole world saw them so serious and now it’s over,” notes the insider.
The spotlight on their union was also a source of strain. Within hours of being photographed making out near her seven-bedroom Westerly, Rhode Island, spread (just weeks after her split from Scottish EDM DJ Calvin Harris, 32), the two had been dubbed “HiddleSwift” by fans who eagerly tracked their every move. Well versed in public romance (see: her dalliances with Jake Gyllenhaal and Harry Styles), Swift suggested they fly under the radar. (After all, as she joked to Vanity Fair last year of relationships, “I usually don’t make the same mistake twice. I make new ones, but I don’t usually repeat my old ones.”)
Explains a source close to the couple, “Taylor knew the backlash that comes with public displays of affection. But Tom didn’t listen to her concerns when she brought them up.” Instead, a madly-in-love Hiddleston boldly donned an I [heart] t.s. tank and a temporary heart tattoo emblazoned with the letter T at her annual 4th of July bash. Days later, he gushed to The Hollywood Reporter that he and Swift “are together and we’re very happy.”
Hiddleston’s declarations stunned family members. “The paparazzi photos, the public displays of affection, they all seemed very un-Tom,” a Hiddleston family source says of the actor, who never confirmed his 2015 romance with I Saw the Light costar Elizabeth Olsen in the press.
They also concerned Swift. “Tom wanted the relationship to be more public than she was comfortable with,” says the Swift source. Though the pair tried to work out their issues — texting and speaking on the phone regularly, as well as convening at her Rhode Island home for two days in mid-August — Swift realized she needed to take a step back. Explains the source, “She was the one to put the brakes on the relationship. They get along great and will remain friends, but they just don’t see it working romantically right now.”

>>527 Part III:
Still, the pop star — famous for turning failed romances into hit records — knows how to shake off a split. The insider says she has been spending time at her homes in Nashville, New York City and Rhode Island, hanging out with her parents, stockbroker dad Scott and former finance-exec mom Andrea. (She also reported for jury duty and was excused from a rape case August 29.) “She’s doing OK — just living her life and not talking about Tom,” says the insider, adding that, yes, “she’s been writing a bunch.”
Hiddleston is not writing off the singer just yet. The strapping 6-foot-2 star has a history of laying it all on the line for love — he once told a Russian website that he skipped a key audition to surprise his college girlfriend in Paris — and the family source predicts he will try to rewin Swift’s heart. “He’s in Oz now for Thor,” says the source, “so he’s got some time to figure out what he wants.” Swift is contemplating their future as well. Says the insider, “They could get back together when Tom is done filming and comes back to the States. It’s possible they will see each other and make it work. She had an amazing time with him.”
Tree must have carpal tunnel after writing that.
>>526>>527>>528 My opinion will be much shorter: BULLSHIT.
Some of my fav quotes
'...a madly-in-love Hiddleston...gushed to The Hollywood Reporter that he and Swift “are together and we’re very happy.' I once gushed about a sandwich in this way - I was _really- hungry.
'...the insider says Swift “doesn’t regret” allowing herself to be wooed by Hiddleston (he even sent flowers before their first date!), [but] she wishes their early days could have been spent in private....' My eyes aren't strong enough to give this the eye roll it deserves.
>>528 Oh thanks, I gave up on the copying and pasting.
She's really done her research for this rewrite, I'm mildly impressed. Even digging out that oft refuted ancient quote from a Russian source as proof that he's a hopeless romantic. The 'TH family source' stunned by his PDA on the heels of his hidden romance with EO... clever dick, Tree, so clever. Who can argue with that?
Hunt just mentioned that TS took time out from the recording studio to attend NYFW with her so perhaps the next bitter album is being rushed out as swiftly as her failed romances.
>>529 They've basically called him thirstay, which we all called him anyway, they've just circumnavigated Tays thirst in the process.
>>531 Instead of her own thirst, they've played up her unmatched attractiveness and desirability. Men just fall head-over-heels for her, they can't help themselves. They woo her, display their love for her in over-the-top ways, are heartbroken when SHE dumps them and then they immediately start making plans to win her back. She's the perfect woman.
I imagined myself to be this type of female...when I was 12.
It's a sad comment on TS's maturity if she wants this type of narrative out there. In the words of Anon, 'She has gone a bit nuts.'
>>532 I'm just so happy to let her go nuts over there in the corner where I can't see her anymore right where she belongs.
captcha: THostage
>>532 Let's not forget what a sad comment on TH's maturity it is that he spent 2 months with Tay and exhausted our collective supply of tinfoil.
>>528 E news on tv just reported that their age differences, on top of the distance between them, was the reason for the split, and that she realized after talking with him on the phone this week that they are better matched as friends. Now we have listed every excuse under the sun from TH is a user and a fame enthusiast, to he dumped her ruthlessly b/c he was bored, to he desperately wants to woo her back, to they're better off as friends. Also, C Harris just liked Taylor's video at the Tommy Hilfiger fashion show of her singing to This is What You Came Form their song. Drama, drama, drama...and all fake.
>>522 The festival of insults. Funny to watch happen but a measure of their hypocrisy. In the end TS is the same now as she was 3 months ago, but 3 months ago the same people who are insulting her now were saying that TS at 26 had every right to jump from bf to bf and be public with her love life. Because of course you couldn't speak ill of someone TH was dating. The length at which they go to protect him and divert the attention from what HE decided to do is unbelievable.
I also noticed the return of some posters that were attacking anyone insinuating that it was all PR, like Crox, now blaming it on TS. On the other hand K.C. disappeared!
We have this article from CraveOnline:
http://idly.craveonline.com/2016/09/tom-hiddleston-taylor-swift-breakup-borig/#/slide/1
which says Mr. H has a 3 month i'm-bored-so-i'll-dump-the-gf rule - so claim his 'friends' - right before going back to Australia for the long haul. They were 'surprised' to read TS dumped him. Here's the text:
Earlier this week, Taylor Swift‘s team actually wanted you to believe that she was the one who “put the brakes on the relationship” with Tom Hiddleston. Yeah, ok. Now Tom Hiddleston’s friends say he broke up with her because she was boring.
But now friends of Tom Hiddleston have come forward to claim it was in fact he who decided to give Taylor Swift the boot as he had grown ‘tired of her.’ The 35-year-old Thor star is said to be so fickle with women that he dumps them all with monotonous regularity, a development which led his associates christening the time frame as ‘the three month rule.’ A theatre producer who worked with the wannabe James Bond on Coriolanus told Heat Street: ‘The reports are wide of the mark and come as news to all Tom’s friends. ‘He grew tired of Taylor, it wasn’t the other way round.’
Like, I want to believe this, but then I remember that he used to date this. And she had him dying of thirst. Anyway, this whole story is also boring now. Just like their eventual sex tape that will leak which will basically be Taylor giving him handjob and stopping every 30 seconds because Tom isn’t maintaining eye contact.
>>538 Then there's this article by CraveOnline that links back to him and EO:
http://idly.craveonline.com/2015/12/elizabeth-olsen-single-tom-hiddleston/#/slide/1
which points out that he (allegedly) dumped EO right before going to Hawaii to film Skull Island because he wanted their relationship to go public but she just wanted to be able to visit the SI set for sex. (The article above is dated Dec. 2015.) The text:
According to Star, Tom Hiddleston dumped Elizabeth Olsen because she wouldn’t tell people they were dating. No pressure, Elizabeth.
Talk about playing too hard to get. While it seemed as though ‘I Saw the Light’s’ Tom Hiddleston and Elizabeth Olsen were ready to go public with their new romance, insiders claim the actress had trouble committing to her costar once filming wrapped. “Elizabeth’s so focused on her career,” reveals a pal. “She just wasn’t sure she could handle a serious relationship right now.” Tired of trying to make sense of her mixed signals, Tom broke it off with Elizabeth before he left to film ‘Kong: Skull Island’ in Hawaii – not that he’s singing the blues. “He seems determined to enjoy himself out here, partying late into the night with cast and crew,” says a source on set. “And no one can help but notice just how close he’s gotten to quite a few of the gorgeous girls working on the production.”
So, Elizabeth Olsen wanted some D on demand while on set, Tom Hiddleston confused that with feelings, and here we are. Helping Star sell ad space. Pretty straightforward. I guess you could say Tom left with his dignity or whatever, but he also left without the possibility of ever getting a 3am text from Elizabeth Olsen. Not sure it was worth all that. Somebody should fund a research grant so some people at a college can splice Tim Tebow, Tom Hiddleston, and Drake together to make the world’s worst girlfriend.
>>538 The tumblr anti-Swifties say she was dumped by Harry Styles and John Mayer for being 'boring' .
I know nothing of about Harry other than he's in 1D, but I've heard tons of gossip about John Mayer having a huge sex drive.
Sexual incompatibility is more common than people admit, I think, and I wouldn't be surprised if hers is far more reserved than her boyfriends' due to general life stress, being young and insecure, and pregnancy worry because, statistics.
>>541 She is a nice girl from the conservative South, with a reputation to consider. And she suffers from arrested development from age 15 when she got famous. So there's that.
I am not necessarily saying she is a virgin now, though it was rumoured that was why she broke up with Styles and others. I think she thought CH was the one and surely during a year long relationship they did the deed. However I agree with you that she probably doesn't have a huge sex drive. I am far from convinced she slept with TH. They didn't radiate throw down (all those closed mouth kisses), and they were never really alone (bodyguards, Ryan Reynolds, mum), so lots of excuses for a person with low sex drive to not have it happen. And TH went for a lot of runs when she was visiting in Australia. I just didn't get the vibe that as soon as they were alone together they leapt on each other.
>>539 This article about EO is a copy of an article from the end of November, post Laser Night gate. It was the reason why I thought that whatever was going on with EO ended, because if you notice the article isn't flattering for TH so the general idea was that it came from EO's camp.
Since the other article you posted, about TS, is equally unflattering, I suppose it may be TS's camp. Or Maybe EO called TS and they had a chat :)
Someone who has instagram and can check, TH unfollowed someone didn't he? He follows 10 people now, they used to be more or my memory fails me?
>>544 JVR has shut down his account and the numbers have been subject to a glitch ever since hackgate.
Shifty is still hanging in there.
I don't see him unfollowing but I'd love it if he used the snake removal tool to erase all I❤️TS photos.
>>545 Thanks. I didn't doubt TS would still be there, but remembered a different number and I was curious.
He wish he could do that!
*he wishes
This Morning commenting the end of Hiddleswift, nothing juicy, Schofield didn't talk to any close friend of TH, but there's nothing else to post.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQqazijIa2c
>>545 JVR has shut down his Twitter as well. Most odd. Is he having a meltdown in the editing room now he realises he actually made Shit Island?
Did anyone else notice how the veranda lady developed this sudden, irrational hatred of Kanye West while Tom and Taylor were dating? She was suddenly all over his posts commenting on how he invented misogyny or something. I wonder if that will stop now that she finally snapped and let her hate for Taylor flow.
>>550 Yes, and for Calvin Harris, who was characterised as a "whinger" for daring to say negative things about TS after they split!! The kind of negative things that veranda woman is now saying about, er, TS...
>>545>>549 Did someone grab a capture of the tweet where he admitted TS was a plagiarizing hussy? Think about the fandom's posterity: future generations must know that TH's director conceded that TH's PR girlfriend was an idea-thieving snake. Or not.
It is strange that he's shut both down now. He weathered the THEO IG storm and even the TS storm, even seemed to take a few soft swings at KW in order to defend his star's honor. So why go dark on SM in the lead up to the release of you biggest movie? Somethings rotten in the state of Skull Island.
>>550 She was the main reason I couldn't handle CB. When I first came into the fandom and tested the waters there, I found it wasn't worth it to wade past her unfunny posts about her pretend drinks and baked goods. She was boring with her one trick ('drinks in the veranda!!'). That board could benefit greatly from a 'Block' feature.
>>551 She argued that EO wasn't in the JVR pic? How does anyone take her seriously after that?
>>552 Has someone suggested a Hypocrisy-tini as the drink of the week under the canopy? Or a 180 degree brownie special?
>>553 *your and *something's. This baby better give back my brain when it comes out. I roasted a chicken yesterday for dinner. Turned on the oven, put the chicken in the baking dish, seasoned it and set the timer on the oven. Timer goes off, I go to get the chicken out...it's still sitting on the counter. I'd roasted an empty oven.
I have not shared this story with my husband. I don't think I will.
>>554 It's a mystery. Every time someone brought up that EO was in Hawaii with TH, she kept saying that all she could see was a blonde girl that looked a lot like Erin Moriarty and that anyway she doesn't care about TH's love life therefore anyone claiming that the girl was wearing the sweater EO was wearing at the ISTL's premiere in Savannah was not being sensible! Her and the aracne woman enjoy insulting people like that while pretending they don't.
>>555 On the other hand Anon. your sense of humour is wonderfully intact.
>>554 Right? I'm not even a crazy Tom fan but I started lurking in those threads because the comments are so bonkers. Veranda lady likes to mention that she's a big attorney (idk if you heard?) but she's there commenting constantly throughout the day, shutting down anyone who suggests TH might not be perfect with her SENSIBLE FACTS and cheesecake role play. I'm honestly kind of fascinated.
>>556 Yes I remember that! I know some on here didn't believe the initial Twitter reports of her visiting, but we did all accept that the person in that picture was EO! The veranda woman then kept saying that EO had just flown from LA to HI "as friends", which in her life apparently happens all the time
>>560 Yes, I imagine her working in a law practice like Saul's in Breaking Bad. Spending all day filing her nails and posting on CB.
>>560 And welcome, by the way. Come sit down by me on the veranda (just a kidding!).
>>563 Oh, you. *raises martini glass **dies a little inside
>>558 How do I make the bold? asks the woman with baby brain.
Captcha: exblong, which is how I'd spell exblonde
>>560,562 And voila!
A lawyer? Okay. I'd be quick to side-eye that. Someone who cannot see facts when they are clearly presented in front of them and who can't form coherent arguments doesn't seem the sort to sit the LSAT, secure a place at law school, survive law school, pass the Bar and then find a job. Mind you, I have an MA and it took me TWO go-rounds to cook a chicken, so....

>>560 Welcome! And you've found your way to the right place for 'not even a crazy Tom fan.' We tend to be sensible but snarky. We don't nanny or blindly defend the little mite, and we're pretty mature about disagreeing with each other.
>>567 of course I forgot to have wakabamark on default so my text turned bold instead of looking like this bold
>>567 Thanks. I had previously tried the usual HTML but it didn't work. Will try again.
>>569 That was the board fault, I didn't pick any formatting and it turned bold anyway!
>>542 Anon, I'm back and forth (no pun intended) on whether or not they ever slept together. I'm inclined to think they did it a couple of times early on - the rare times they were truly alone (June - RI and her NYC pad). How could TH not resist trying?
The rest of the time, it was all family (TN and the UK), bodyguards (Rome, Australia, LA), and friends (4ofJ in RI) in bedrooms close by. Not exactly passion-inspiring. Lots of excuses to avoid it.
>>543 Couch, I've been researching the commitment-phobe rumor about TH, hence those articles. I'm not trying to make him out to be blameless in either breakup - even though I'm not a fan of TS's ways. Both 'relationships' show how fame thirsty he was. I believe there was physical attraction, not sure about the rest of the equation. I haven't really found anything except those articles.
OTT regarding someone's post (earlier this thread or the last one) about Josh Grobin breaking up with Kat Dennings. Earlier this week in ONTD I came upon a link to a bunch of Gaby Dunn tweets in May 2015 about Josh hooking up with fans. Someone took the time to put them in chronological order on Storify. It starts with talking about other male celebs: https://storify.com/amandataylor88/don-t-fall-for-this-famous-guy-s-flattery
>>553 He'd been going on a lot of anti social media rants lately. Maybe someone finally told him to walk the walk? Or he's lying curled up and crying into his King Kong plushie.
>>572 I had heard about Josh and his social media harem. Like Drake. Poor Kat though. I can't stand her but she seems like a good egg.
On the Tom and snake front, I think we should brace ourselves because I don't think Taylor has even started destroying Tom yet. Ohhh! Maybe that's why JVR deleted his social media. Because his star is about to get reamed and his movie will suffer as a result. Oh this summer romance is certainly piling up on casualties then lol
I tend to head to the spa/salon before an important event. Is he getting over the 'break up' or getting ready for the RC?
>>574 I hope he was getting a facial peel and some moisturizer with SPF.
>>574 I'm guessing getting ready for the red carpet so whatever treatment he's gotten (facial ones esp) have time to undo all the damage to his skin by the time he gets to the Emmy's. Those Brisbane pics were NOT flattering.
>>575 Seriously. Though I will say seeing his pics are a good reminder for me to slap on some sunscreen everyday. So that's good.
Brand new video from Newzoids of Tom and Taylor singing a duet about their faux relationship and the paparazzi. Hysterical. Ouch.
>>574,575,576 I don't hold high hopes for much improvement to his skin from this visit. Endota Spas are a bit ho hum- more on the gentle organic face massage side than the peeling, needle jabbing canvas stretching he needs.
>>578 That's ruthless! Her I ❤️ PR tshirt is a winner

Triple threat plug for Byron film fest.
Those boys are really coming through for him in their support acting like a cushioning group hug. The nightly Brisbane fan frenzy, the hospital visit and now two videos. I wouldn't be surprised if Idris walks the red carpet with him at the Emmys. They're being bloody good mates.
It's become a battle between girl squads and boy squads. Bring it.
>>572 No worries I didn't assume anything of the sort, I just remembered that detail about the oldest article and the similarity of the new one.
>>580 they seem to have recorded this the same night of the Irrelevant Tv Award.
Speaking of girl squad, I've just remembered that Anonon posted a video of Martha Hunt being asked about TH and that she barely kept herself from eyeballing at hearing his name. That was at the beginning of August, a 180° from her previous stand on this relationship. So maybe the girl squad knew that it was going to end soon.
>>582 Nice sleuthing Couch! I went and looked it up. It's from August 4th right after she kissed the billionaire in the Hamptons with tragic ramen noodle hair and TH had skunked back to Oz alone.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtsqHXCx-gc
Do you think we can set a new end date based on Martha Hunt's face? I do.
>>583 At the very least we have a date on when TS made up her mind.
Maybe that trip to RI was TH's attempt to avoid an ending. He flew all the way there with a present even if TS was the one with free time. I suppose he might have watched the video of her kissing the billionaire and remembered what happened to Harris after their dance at the Met Gala.
>>584 Well, speak of the devil, the very unreliable source that is HL claims Selena has been giving TS sage advice (from her hospital bed in rehab). Like the rest of the world she thinks Tay should avoid boys for a while.
The only interesting line is this:
a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. “Selena has known about the Taylor and Tom [Hiddleston], 35, split for a while.”
A WHILE
Couch, we have another receipt; rehab Gomez. Combined with Martha's face, the hotel use on both LA trips (was that Anon?) and the fact they spent very little time together again I think the fat lady sang at the start of August.
>>578 that is harsh and funny. It's a British show isn't it? Ouch.
>>584,585 the article in the Mail saying Frederick Forsyth knew it was definitely not TH as Bond appeared on 7 August. If FF knew by then, TH probably had known for a while longer. No point continuing with the showmance, and she was out of the woods on the KW saga by then.
And I am saying definitely showmance because this rollout and this timetable makes a mockery of it being real. If you met and fell deeply and immediately in love such that you did the meet the parents and Europe love tour, your relationship would have more staying power than 3 or 4 weeks after that love tour ended (TH was working in Oz by mid July; actual split date looks like ?beginning August). Plus of course he was staying in a hotel and not at her place even at the time of Comic Con (24 July). If they were on the rocks by that date, it is the most laughable "this is the one" passionate love affair ever.
By the way, though all the articles say so, there was no photographic evidence of TH actually meeting TS's parents. She seems to have kept them well away (for example when he last flew to RI he missed them too). TH was prepared to involve his family in his mess - looks very much like she wasn't. CH met her parents Christmas 2015 and there is photographic evidence that he did so. Odd that she wasn't prepared to have her parents photographed with the man she wanted to marry after 2 weeks.
>>588 It truly has been an awful idea and a poorly executed one.
He destroyed all the good work he did up until the Met Gala. And while it wouldn't be realistic to say this guy is back to square one, he is probably back to 3.
>>589 Hard to know where he is, isn't it?
For all the stans saying "it has not harmed his reputation in the US/the UK/wherever they hail from" or "only we fans have kept up with this saga, there is no problem in the mainstream" I think the reality is that it has harmed him.
In the UK he has been widely mocked by such niche publications as the Guardian, the Times, the Telegraph. The U.K. media said throughout that it was fake, and that he was a pillock, and that editorial line hasn't changed.
In the US he was not much known before, and now he is known as TS' boyfriend and/or an idiot who wore a t shirt and then broke up with the object of his affections within 2 months. Even if most people don't care about the minutiae of the timetable, they all know it was short and they mostly probably think it was fake because that was the initial line (though some publications got on board with it being real after a while, I think people remember what they first read about it).
>>583 >>586 I know that I'm repeating myself, but I'm pretty sure that Team Tom ended the appearances clauses of this contractual relationship, right when he returned from a one-day trip to NYC. Hiddleston was seen eating lunch at Balthazaar in Soho, after being seen for the first time with his Brooklyn-based business manager at Comic Con. Soho is where his lawyers have an office, and he was seen at Marvel HQ in NYC. Hiddleston flew commercial back to LA in one day, and Swift boomeranged back from Nashville, chased him back to LA after a one-day trip, to make the Saturday night pap outing an Hillstone, and the alleged Church Key outing, of which the pics do not resemble Swift at all. As a I saw the Hillstone pics after his NYC business meetings, no joke, I said aloud that they would NEVER be seen in the same pictorial frame again. Under the k, after Hillstone I think that Tom had fulfilled the number of times he had to be seen with Swift, and his team chose to fulfil the obligations to the narrative by other means. He was later spotted with her Toyota sequoia at the gym. He was spotted allegedly arriving from RI with her plane, but the meta data of the photos and the paparazzi in RI indicated he never ever was there, and just changed his shirt on the tarmac to make it look like he got on the plane. Even the gossip mags wouldn't state that Tom was him RI, only that US magazine "reported" that Tom was in RI. One even said that Tom was "allegedly" in RI, or that he was in RI "according to sources", meaning Swift's PR team.
>>592 That pap night at Hillsone was July 28, btw. Also, Swift has a troublesome relationship with fake bfs. Below, Vulture indicates the manufacture nature of the Gyllenhall pairing. Also, if you look at the appearances she made with CH, TS spent 3 hours with him at the night club on NYE, she spent fewer than 10 hours in Colorado with him for the snow-man building pics of Christmas vacay, and he was only in the Bahamas for two days their vacay with the swan raft and four bikini changes of pics for their Instagram pages. This was validated by the timing and location update on their Instagram/twitter accounts. There was a full-on three month absence of pics following CH's happy ending massage parlor pics (which people say he staged b'c the paps were there when he arrived), and afterwards they would only make restaurant appearances to hotspots after the calling the paps when their was doubt they were still together. IMO, Taylor the woman is private, but she presents a deliberately manufactured public life for her "Taylor Swift" brand to get her fans to invest in her life travails, to which her lyrics correspond to in achingly specific detail.

Who's to Blame for the Taylor Swift–Tom Hiddleston Breakup?
The Ringer (blog)-Sep 6, 2016
What is it about Hillstone restaurant that makes Taylor Swifts break up with Tom Hiddlestons? We did some investigating, and the results were ...
When Did the Media Turn Against Taylor Swift? -- Vulture
www.vulture.com/2016/07/when-did-the-media-turn-against-taylor-swift.html
FYI, Gossip Cop has just debunked that Tom was dropped from the role of James Bond. I think Team Tom has learned a few new tricks. Lets not give them clicks.
Tom Hiddleston has not been “dropped” from an upcoming James Bond movie, despite a sensational report. Gossip Cop can debunk the misleading story. RadarOnline blares in a headline, “007 BUST! More Heartbreak For Tom! Hiddleston Dropped From James Bond Movie After Swift Split?” The accompanying story says Hiddleston “can’t catch a break.” The site writes, “Just days after news of his split with Taylor Swift, 26, went public, the 35-year-old actor could be canned from the James Bond movie he has been gunning for.”
TS nominated for a Clio Award as Creative Director of the Apple ad- as if any further proof be needed of her involvement in the plagiarism.
Perhaps this is a contributing factor to JVR's social media retreat.
>>553 I looked and I looked and all I can find is this:
http://wthanon4u.tumblr.com/post/147622904435/aishet-chayil-kaleidoscope112
His tweets coincided with Snapchatgate and were swamped. Most people just linked rather than copying or screencapping the tweets so they are lost
>>595 He was tweeted by firenbrenie pointing out that TS was responsible for the creative side. I recall he tweeted "oh shit" or something in response so he knew the truth. It seems so long ago, though, and was before SDCC. I can't imagine his departure was directly caused by this (and surely anything he said about TS doesn't matter to TH now they split!). It may have been the backstory to a more generalised social media meltdown.
http://www.nationalenquirer.com/photos/taylor-swift-tom-hiddleston-breakup-romance/
I have to post this for the spectacular header photo which includes a mistaken picture of a Thor cosplayer.
The quotes are also priceless and ridiculous:
"Chris told Tom that he thinks his relationship with Taylor is toxic," said a source. "He sees her presenting him [with] the same problems as Miley Cyrus did with his brother Liam!"
"Tom spent the summer moaning to Chris that Taylor's controlling, and Chris told him the only way Liam was able to get Miley to shape up was by dumping her!"
"Chris told Tom to do like Liam did if he wants to force Taylor to change her way, and he did," said the insider — with The ENQUIRER first to know, just like when Taylor began secretly romancing Hiddleston!
>>596 I seriously doubt it was a contributing factor, but JVR's dislike for TS must have escalated due to this nomination.
I imagine he's overwrought with work which is the main reason people shut down their social media- so there's less distraction to get on with the job.
It does make me wonder if words were spoken behind the scenes at the SDCC. Remember Jason also tweeted anti TS sentiments.
>>597 I honestly think that's Chris Hemsworth's stunt double.
I was joking about saving that tweet for posterity but it's rich indeed that she's been nominated for an award... for her maybe-plagiarism. Someone let New Firenbrenie know if the Clios have a Twitter!
