About 36 hours ago (late Monday evening?), Tom Hiddleston left LA. He flew out of LAX with two giant suitcases, and Taylor Swift was not with him. Some theorized that Tom was flying back to London to regroup, do some laundry, get some fresh clothes and more. Some theorized that Tom was heading back to Australia to work on Thor: Ragnarok without the human embodiment of a snake emoji. Here are those photos:

Well, now we know where he was going. Tom did fly back to Australia after his extended holiday in LA and New York. The Daily Mail has photos of Tom touching down in Brisbane – go here to see. The DM even thoughtfully noted Tom’s “bronzed complexion” (I’ll say). I still don’t know WHY Tom came back to America with Tay-Tay for more than a week, but there you go. He’s finally going back to work. Without Taylor.
So, is there trouble in Tiddlebanging paradise? I have no idea. So far, no media outlet is reporting anything suspicious. Although I did see this tweet, which made me laugh. I have no idea if this is true, but I would LOVE it if the new indicator for impending breakups is “their publicists unfollowed each other.” We live in modern times, peeps.

My publicist unfollowed The Bloke’s publicist when The Bloke played polo with Normal Bill. This is how The Bloke and I broke up. So I believe it’s a thing.
People should check this kind of thing regularly and report back here (not me because a) I am too lazy and b) have a glut of courgettes. Any suggestions for courgette gluts welcomed).
Chocolate zucchini bread.
Zucchini lasagne (Slice the courgettes and layer them instead of using pasta)
Both can be frozen.
I see The Bloke is still in trouble.
My publicist unfollowed Trump’s publicist.
Zucchini pasta made with a spiral vegetable slicer.
Whoops. Sorry, lilacflowers.I meant to post this under Sixer’s.
Sorry, forgot the right stateside name!
Looking up recipes now. It’s just as well I’m relatively work-free because I do have a vegetable mountain. Tonight’s dinner (this is gorgeous):
http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/vegetables-recipes/briam/#KbtcZvRohk0KYEeq.97
(The Bloke will have to do something special to get back into my good graces).
Well. I love ratatouille.
I make and freeze a kind of ratatouille-lite to last all winter. Either as ratatouille or the base for veggie chilli, curry, bean bake, etc.
@Sixer
“I make and freeze a kind of ratatouille-lite to last all winter. ”
Okay. I’ll be over this winter. 🙂
Here’s the lasagne recipe. I know the Paillotta sisters and I have had this many times.
http://www.foodnetwork.com/shows/throwdown-with-bobby-flay/900-series/vegetable-lasagna.html
I never knew it was called a courgette over thar. Mind blown!
Ratatouille is my soulfood. So simple, so perfect. You are making me hungry.
You’re welcome, Lina! Thanks, Lilac.
susiecue – an aubergine is an eggplant, by the way!
Miss J – try the briam recipe. It’s yumptious.
In South Africa, courgettes are also known as baby marrows and aubergines are also known as brinjals… more scrabble words 😉
thecookingpan – aubergine is also called brinjal in Indian restaurants here in the UK.
On the subject of zucchini, I can offer something savory & something sweet:
Zucchini Parmesan Crisps
https://smittenkitchen.com/2013/09/zucchini-parmesan-crisps/
Chocolate Chunk Zucchini Loaf
http://thepioneerwoman.com/food-and-friends/chocolate-chunk-zucchini-loaf/
Thank you!
I do the crisps in my dehydrator. With aubergine too. Good for packed lunches!
One of my neighbors, who is from China, calls eggplant/aubergine purples. She brings me bags of purples. I think something got lost in translation but I like calling them purples.
@Lilacflower
“I think something got lost in translation but I like calling them purples.”
🙂
Walked by my neighbor’s house this afternoon and she pointed out that the “purples” are coming along nicely.
I added zucchini to my shrimp boil tonight. So yum.
I knew it! The other day you were preparing broad beans and then blackcurrants (I think). Now it is courgettes. You ARE eating alphabetically!!
Could be Tom has just told Luke to “butt out” so Luke is all huffy and unfollowing people.
It’s the Britisher allotment season. Do not forget my rhubarb and my raspberries!
Well, if he has, you couldn’t really blame him, could you? Tiddlesbanging has been wonderful for us but a bit of a clusterwhoops for poor LEGS.
Argghh now I can’t think of a fruit or veg beginning with D…Urrghh this is not good for my OCD..
Dragonfruit, although probably not in British climate!
Phew panic over…
@shelly
Dates
Daikon
We are in August harvesting in Britland, guys. It’s our best month but you are still going to be limited! I have: tomatoes, chilis, aubergines, courgettes, various soft fruits, salad potatoes, salad leaves, cauliflower and spring onions.
Just googled Daikon, who knew ?
I have it in my arsenal now, for the next time I get challenged to an emergency game of scrabble.
@Shelly, dates, daikons, dill
Oops, typed before I saw Lina Lamont’s response
Now I could go into why Brits call them aubergines and courgettes, and Americans say eggplant and zucchini.
Durian is a d fruit…
Am I the only one wondering why, if he has two giant suitcases presumably full of clothing, he wears the same thing every day?
I’m pretty sure he is secretly dating Cookie Monster, so my guess is CM is in one of those cases.
He has one suitcase full of ball gags, in case I give him a call.
Only one suitcase Sixer? You are cutting back!
Cookie monster is sacrosanct, I won’t have him being dragged into this tawdry mess.
Hands off my Cookie !
Cyn, I think they’re full of underwear and several identical t-shirts each in black, white & blue. And books.
And… why did he have 2 suitcases at LAX and 3 on arrival, what’s that about?
@Sixer says:
“He has one suitcase full of ball gags, in case I give him a call.”
I’d do him if he wouldn’t utter a single word other than my name—LinaLamont.
Lina – this has pretty much always been my position vis a vis LEGS. I would, provided he is not allowed to speak.
@Shelly, too late. Tom and Cookie Monster go back years
*Sob* Cookie is too good for him, I’m going to start a hashtag about it. But first I’ll have to join twitter.
My guess is that he has multiples of the same items; remember the year of the white v-neck t-shirt? I think he buys his clothing by the dozen.
Someone said on DM that Taylor’s probably in one. hehe
Other than that and all Sixer’s ball gags, my guess is books and identical t-shirts for 30 days.
I make this curried zucchini soup every summer and freeze the excess for winter consumption. I don’t think this recipe mentions it, but garnished with toasted, sliced almonds, it’s the best. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/80878/curried-zucchini-soup/
And thanks everyone else for the great ideas to handle the inevitable glut!
Thank you!
It was Audi’s fault, Sixer. The Bloke can’t say no to a new Audi.
He is dead to me. And you know how much I fancied him!
Zucchini noodle pad thai with lots of cilantro, lime and peanut is my new addiction. Zucchini thinly sliced with parmesan, sardines and walnuts and roasted in the oven. Roasted with cherry toms, eggplant, red peppers, green onions and balsamic and served over cheesy polenta. That delicious damn chocolate zucchini loaf.
And I have a friend who swears by zucchini boats, hollowed out zucchini logs with taco toppings, which also sound delicious.
I like the cut of your food jib, detritus!
Why didn’t you just say Zucchini? You Brits make things too complicated with all your fancy words. lol
Now is Legs also The Bloke? I ask cause I remember Cumby was also at the Polo-gate event too.
Sorry, I forgot where I was for a Britisher moment there. The Bloke is Tom Hardy. My pash on him went up in a puff of smoke because he sucked up to the royals. I am not a royalist!
This proves that courgette cookery is more interesting than Swift/Hiddleston.
1/4 inch slices, dredge in egg and then in 1/4 c. flour mixed w/ 1/2 c. grated parmesan (if you grate by hand, it totally counts as arm day) + a bit of salt and pepper (add any spices you’d like, really). Bake at 200C for about 15 minutes. Flip them once a couple minutes before you pull them out. Extra cheese straight out of the oven is an excellent idea. Crispy outside, creamy inside. Make a ton. They Keep well and re-heat in the oven like a dream. Move to the top of the oven in the last few minutes if you want them extra crispy.
That sounds wonderful, thanks for sharing!
zucchini fritters
Hi Sixer, this is a great Italian recipe http://www.cooks.com/recipe/ed5fe8rf/zucchini-custard-torte.html
or if you dont like custard: http://www.cooks.com/recipe/2x8b38y0/zucchini-torte.html
:o)
This Michael Scott gif is one of the best moments of “The Office”.
+1 (we are always looking for ‘Michael Scott-isms’ lol)!
Geez I hope so. Just break up already. This whole thing was ridiculous from the beginning.
yup
There’s no way they’d call it off this quickly, would they? I’m firmly in the “this is a fake contract relationship” camp, but it’s been, what, six weeks max? I’m sure he and his camp have been having panic attacks about what the press surrounding this relationship has done to his image, but would throwing in the towel after this short a time make things even worse? I don’t know where he goes from here. Also, how can I get a job as somebody who monitors who unfollows whom on Twitter?
He signed up for a fling with a fun-loving, dancing pop star with model friends and a private jet. Before he could wear out the t-shirt, she Bilbo Bagginsed into a manipulative liar with long-simmering feuds with half the music industry. What about his caricature’s true colors? Back to posh British living, or hashtags with Kim and Calvin?
@ PGrant’s Girl – Also, how can I get a job as somebody who monitors who unfollows whom on Twitter?
1. Quit your job
2. Join every type of social media in existence
3. Get 4-7 cats
4. Develop fixation on celebrity of choice
5. Watch EVERYTHING they post
6. Follow everyone they follow
7. Buy bulk quantities of stimulants
8. Settle in and NEVER leave your computer, no matter what happens in the real world
9. Create complex graph of who is following whom, including timelines and repeat unfollow/follow patterns
10. Ask NASA for access to one of their satellites to monitor celebrity movements
Squirrel, LOL.
I think it’s a lot of fluff about nothing, Luke still follows Tree (seriously that’s her name), but she’s not following him, looks like she didn’t follow him in the 1st place.
Right? These people are either still in high school and falling behind on their homework or they’re retired and neglecting their garden.
HAHAHAHAHAHA.
It usually takes me ages to spot if someone I follow and who *was* following me has unfollowed me. I occasionally happen upon realisation it’s no longer a mutual-follow. Sometimes I try to think back and wonder what tweet of mine to which they took exception.
Clearly, because I don’t have cats, I’d never be qualified for a job involving monitoring people unfollow third parties.
However, if true, it’s amusing to think of trouble in the ranks – and let’s face it, this ‘relationship’ is as much about a compact between their publicists as it is them spending their time together couple-stunting.
“Get 4-7 cats” — LOLOL!
do not know how they manage all that on Twitter. i can barely manage mine. LOL
BTW I have 4 cats, I bake and share recipes but can’t sit for long periods due to back injury. BUT I do follow NASA….:)
@secretsquirrel I bet many a Swiftie would definitely go for option #10 on your list (not only to watch TClingy but to survey Tom, One Direction, Selena Gomez, Karlie Kloss, maybe Kimye and. . . . .).
Doesn’t seem like Tom’s character to end it now but who knows. If it’s over, this is probably Taylor’s worst summer ever. Maybe, she’s using this down time to reflect on improvement. More than likely, she’s scheming her ultimate comeback and revenge tour.
She should call it that, Revenge Tour. That would be awesome. 🙂
Brunch is served on this glorious morning. Australian suggestions welcome. I do like Australian wines.
He had business meetings in New York and Los Angeles over the week. And the other Asgardian actors hadn’t reported down in Australia yet. I’m also really hoping that Loki makes n appearance on Agents of SHIELD this season, given that he had several days in the Los Angeles area and could have filmed something. The Loki & Coulson scenes have been a long time coming but mostly, I want to see Tom work with Ming Na Wen.
Jacobs Creek or Yellow Tail are reasonable wines. Serve with Jatz crackers and cheese, or a Sao biscuit with butter and vegemite!
Maybe in light of Sixer’s garden, an apple and rhubarb crumble cake with fresh raspberries and clotted cream
That crumble cake sounds nice. I’m steering clear of vegemite.
Love Yellow Tail. Their Shiraz punches above its weight. Apple and rhubarb crumble cake with fresh strawberries and clotted cream? Orgasmic. Forget Hiddles and Hiddleswfit.
I will make the crumble for you.
Maybe that cake with homemade vanilla ice cream? I have a no churn 4-ingredient recipe that is lovely. 🙂
Only if May gets to kick Loki’s butt for daring to hurt Coulson. Extra points if Daisy gets a shot at him as well. I don’t think it will happen since AoS is the bastard child of the Marvel universe, but I agree that him showing up on AoS would be awesome.
I’ll have a whiskey on the rocks, BTW….It’s 5 O’clock somewhere and I’m celebrating that my husband will be home the first week of September and not November like we thought!
Oh, AbbyJ, that is great news! I’ll even unshackle JLM so he can pour for you!
Yay, @abby_j; that’s great about your husband!
I’m a little giddy. He was only supposed to be gone six months total, which is so much better than the year+ that we are used to, but I’ll take four over six. Of course, that also probably means that we will be moving soon, but that isn’t so bad.
Thanks!
P.S. Always glad to get JLM out of his shackles for a while, Lilacflowers. It wasn’t great last season, but I miss him when his show isn’t on. 🙂
Sorry to say, Lilac, but Agents of Shields has been cancelled, so no chance for that.
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/agent-carter-canceled-at-abc-893499
Australian Shiraz is amazing; I’ll chip in a few bottles, and some delicious Brie and crackers!
That’s Agent Carter. Agents of Shield is still up and running Started filming the next season just recently. 🙂
Aussie Shiraz is my favorite… petite or regular.
Imqrious2, you nearly gave me a fright there! I like AoS, well, I like FitzSimmons.
@bonzo. Both. Of course.
I’m sure Tom’s image has taken a hit but if they broke up so soon it would make things worse I think. But maybe everyone’s in full-on panic mode.
Before Calvin Harris, she was know for month long relationships. But come on, there were all those plans of forever and babies and all! Oh wow, what an entertaining drama. Without all this I still wouldn’t have a clue who she thinks she is.
They fellow each other when the relationship started & now they unfollow each other after he fly solo are they’re play with the public & tabloids now?
Either they’re going underground to escape the criticism of this relationship is about to go down in flames, to borrow a line from Taylor. I’m sure I’ll be hearing from their lawyers soon for that one.
You mean the sentence isn’t copyright by her people already?
Beware of the cease and desist letter arriving shortly!
breakup? yeah right -_-
if she is with him, omg why is she with him so much? so clingy!
if not, omg why is she not with him? must be trouble in paradise!
oh please.
Tom is in Oz to work, which was set up before Taylor entered the picture. I can get on board with her not following him back to Queensland straight away so he can focus.
It is the publicists unfollowing each other which is out of place here and leading to speculation. It could just be a backing off of any publicity for a while or it could be something else.
Both publicist followed each other before the RI kiss, now they have unfollowed.. Is this the end???????
Tune in next week for another exciting episode of “When Tom Met Taylor”
Perhaps TayTo’s publicists unfollowing each other is evidence of alien infestation a la BRAINDEAD (CBS series)? Social media unfollowing in their circles being similar to U.S. politicians and DC lobbyists switching from hard liquor to wheatgrass smoothies … after bugs invade …
Since her word is not the gold standard, how will she prove they are together if she can’t be photographed with him? This will be very frustrating for her I think.
She will instagram screenshots of messages with poems from him or facetime calls 😀
Guest, everything is OTT with Taylor, that’s how she rolls.
Exactly.
Between swifties keeping track of the private jet, and the unfollowing info (it’s gotta mean SOMETHING), and the restaurant pics, looks like civilians are doing all the real reporting. As opposed to just making things up like the Armani story. Tom looks cute as usual.
According to a story in another gossip rag she stayed behind to move into her new bazillion dollar mansion. It is why her family was there, to help. The site made sure to let us all know Hiddleswift is OKAY just moving house. LOL.
Someone on Twitter mentioned that Tay Tay’s publicist had never followed Luke in the first place, but I don’t know if that’s true.
i’d like to think this circus is over, but I’m assuming she’ll be taking a flight to AU within the next few days.
Well this is interesting. He didn’t use her plane and he’s alone. If she doesn’t join him again while he’s in Oz then I might actually hold out hope it was a summer fling after all.
He didn’t use her plane going to Australia the last time either. Or coming to LA from Australia. The studio pays for his travel and her plane can’t go that distance.
They took her private plane coming back to the states from Australia. They just refused in HI.
CC, apparently they chartered a private plane on the return to the US, as Lilacflowers said her jet can’t do that distance.
If Marvel are paying for that, and all the +1 travel and accommodation in Oz, I’d imagine they won’t be happy.
@Becky I’m pretty sure that Marvel has plenty of cash and is ok with +1 accommodation & travel for their actors which is pretty standard. Now I read a rumor that Marvel wasn’t happy about having to provide security to keep her fans away that’s possible. I guess but I kind of think they don’t care and I’d imagine she would take care of her own security.
Gotcha, thanks.
Luca, I would think the hotel penthouse and cost of a private jet across the Pacific was more expensive than all the security put together.
Legendary would have paid for him to travel from Oz to SDCC.
I’m sure Legendary are super happy about the cost of a private jet across the Pacific too then….
If it works like corp america, the studio would reimburse for whatever the equivalent cost of a flight is if the actor chooses a more expensive means.
They used a private plane to come back because the Kanye story just broke. And it is entirely untrue that she can’t take her plane to Australia because there is video footage of her plane coming into Australia , in the rain, for her tour. This is why she is so immature. She caused a raucous when landing on purpose, yet when the scandal broke, she left quietly. She was seen walking out of a gym sideways to avoid photogs but dressed in full makeup and velvet for dinner hours later.It’s pathetic.
If she is moving into a new house, and he is just getting back to work and getting his head straight, I can’t see the point in her going to Oz just now.
Give it a few weeks and he’ll be waiting to meet her at the airport, wearing a chauffeurs outfit and a cheesy grin, as they reunite and the Summer of Tayto continues.
Your know it makes sense.
If Tay’s learned anything with Calvin and Tom, it is to put a full service gym in her new homes.
She is also having all of Tom’s furniture shipped from London to LA, so it falls to her to stay behind and unpack it all for him.
In fact his London house is being shipped to LA and will be the treehouse in the back garden (to be fully decorated for Halloween as a haunted mansion for her “TAYmpires and LEGhouls” party.
Lol, his place in London is small enough to be a treehouse by her standards!
“TAYmpires and LEGhouls” – perfect. I expect to see it emblazoned on a huge waterside.
lalalalala…*not listening to you* lalalala…
tiddles has to do emmey, ring shopping and disney wedding or so help me…
Some are saying the publicist story is a red herring and Taylor’s publicist never followed Tom’s. It’s hilarious that tabloids are now being sourced to tumblr and other stans that brought us wonderful stories like Kristen Stewart’s phantom babies and the many lovely theories about Sophie Hunter. The tabloids are about to get very fun.
Luca, that’s what I thought, and Luke is still following her.
And Tom tries to retrieve “Tom the Actor” from “Tom Tay-Tay’s English Brooch”.
That’s all this is about. They can’t split up now even if they want to – it will look like they’re running their lives according to their press reports (oh, wait . . . .). Nah. He’s proving that he’s an independent guy, and she’s cooperating. For the moment. As soon as he’s unpacked, and gets a little shut-eye at his hotel, look for another spontaneous date night with a couple deliriously happy to be together again after their lonnngggggg separation.
They’re playing the public. Five gets you ten he was in NY to buy a ring.
I cannot form an opinion until I read Gossip Cop so I know what is REALLY going on with TNT. Just kiddin’ 😉
exactly!!! 🙂
Well, you won’t know for sure until Luke retweets it, to be honest.
*snort*
Luke the Lazy Publicist phoning it in with a retweet.
Tom is probably happy to listen to his playlist of Calvin Harris, Katie Perry, Justin Beiber, and Kanye again. I’m sure I left a few out.
I imagine he has a secret burner phone with the Tidal app installed, and sometimes late at night, he locks himself in the bathroom……
He must be happy to dust the cat dander off his belongings.
Maybe that’s why we saw him running with so many different devices when he was in Oz before. He secretly buried an iPod that contained all of the forbidden music, digging it out of the sand every morning when the distracted bodyguard was glaring at the photographers that had gathered to document the event. He’d bury it again when the run was over by kneeling next to a trash bin pretending to tie his shoe. Somewhere along the way he had to replace it when an over-eager seagull dug it up and flew off with it.
“He must be happy to dust the cat dander off his belongings.”
Hahaha, @jammypants! Keep making me laugh like that, and I’m *this* close to frolicking in the ocean in an “I <3 JP" tank top. Hope that's not creepy.
@Ennui 😘
Maybe she tried to tag along but Tom went all Harrison Ford in Air Force on her?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdaeVone5qA
There is an article out there somewhere where somebody went to the trouble of tracking when everyone– publicists, Taylor’s family, squad members, you name it– friended and then unfriended Tom, the theory being that the squad is now turning against Tom. I have no idea how anyone tracks this sh*t.
It’s a buzzfeed article based on a tumblr post by an anti Hiddleston/Swift fan blog. There are no screen grabs of anyone following anyone else I think it’s hilarious that those people can take over the gossip world and write the story according to what they ultimately want.
There are marketing apps that track individuals like that. You have to pay a premium to use them. Taylor has some very devoted and very rich fans (she’s the queen of the Veruca Salt types! they must worship her! lol)
Oh @pikawho, Love the Willy Wonka reference! Note to self to watch soon! 😁🎉👏
@Miss Jupitero: This is exhausting. No way to know what’s going on.
Lest we forget, after attending Wimbledon 2013 with the much maligned and now lamented JArthy, Tom quickly unfollowed Jane after the pictures of them appeared. Twitter unfollowings may mean something OR nothing. Who knows? The more I see/read/hear about TnT, the less I care.
Evie, I remember that, one of the few people he’s unfollowed. I still think she was meant to be a “mystery date” but they were sitting next to journalist who gave out her name.
This is hilarious! What with inspecting one’s backside for dimples on the other thread and apps that track the followings and unfollowings of objects of desire – how does anyone ever get anything done?!
A mystery to me. I’ve never understood the interpretation of people’s lived through Twitter account activity and now I learn I must have my butt inspected for dimples. I feel so inadequate. I must console myself with a very large glass of Shiraz and some ratatouille
I am still reeling with shock about the bum-inspecting! How does one do it and not get a crick in one’s neck?
I can’t turn my neck to one side at all so I fear an elaborate setup of mirrors combined with selfies would be necessary. And now I have learned about eyelash extensions. Aren’t my natural dark, thick lashes enough?. I’m feeling so inadequate as a woman. No wonder my internet husband has been cavorting about with a pop star all over the world. I’m opening another bottle of Shiraz and eyeing the office chocolate bowl. Those Dove sea salt caramels and milk chocolate over there are not long for this world. Is there a professional analyst who can explain what my Twitter follows say about me?
Arrggh! Zucchini chips! Zucchini chips! My kingdom for zucchini chips!
Sixer, (said in my best Austin Powers voice):
“Belfies, baaaaybeee” lol.
Apparently that’s the new “thing”…taking pics of your own backside (unfortunately not going so far as to look for the head you lost up there SMH) ppffbbtt!
Wth about dimples on someone’s backside?
I’m currently following 1 Tom-related tumblr blog, and they’ve mentioned a certain super fan who was convinced Tom was staying at Taylor’s house in LA because he had cat hair on his gym clothes the other day. Not kidding.
Belfies! What fresh hell is this? My mother always used to tell me that I looked like either the wreck of the Hesperus or as though I’d been pulled through a hedge backwards. I accept that I am on the extreme unkempt end of the grooming spectrum, but belfies? Lord save us.
Becky – see today’s post about someone called Kim Zolciak. She inspected her bum for dimples and then put the subsequent dimple removal on Instagram for all to see. This. Is. Weird. Although inspecting pap photos for cat hairs is also weird. Very weird.
Belfies? Spare us from this Hell! The end of civilization must be near.
I don’t have to take belfies of my butt dimples to know they are there. They are my one constant in this ever changing, uncertain world.
Butt dimples are part of my curviness.
We have discussed zucchini recipes, food beginning with the letter “d”, butt dimples, eyelash extensions, belfies, Australian wines, cat dander, Cookie Monster, Agents of SHIELD and Hayley Atwell (for two separate reasons) and Twitter sleuthing algorithms. A typical Tom Hiddleston thread.
That IS a typical Hiddles thread when the post subject doesn’t have anything significant to talk about! It’s like a Dragonfly gathering on the front porch — eating, drinking & shooting the sh!t.
While we’re off-topic, I have to say that I’m halfway through the huge Netflix hit Stranger Things and loving it. Reminds me of why I loved E.T., X-files and Twin Peaks so much. It’s definitely binge-worthy and thankfully, only 8 episodes.
@Bonzo, television viewing suggestions are NEVER off-topic on a typical Dragonfly thread. I will try to remember to check that one out. Thank you.
Rumor has it that due to Tom’s playful behavior plus practical jokes and the like, Austin Swift got really angry and complained about it. As a result, he unfollowed him and some of the squaddies did the same. Tom is, re: Twitter to them, on the outside looking in.
Why and how is he so very orange suddenly?
maybe he’s just working?
But is this news? No one can live in each other’s pocket 24/7 can they?
They can’t, but don’t tell Taylor that – there will be a tantrum of epic proportions and her poor assistant will be cleaning up shattered cat figurines for days afterward.
LOL! 😀
@Dara – Uh-oh! Wasn’t the vile headmistress of Hogwarts, Dolores Umbridge, also obsessed with cats and kittens and . . . pink?!
they both tried to sell this 24/7 hand holding nightmare so people will see even small amounts of time apart as suspicious.
No one usually takes their girlfriends to work, but this is no ordinary job and no ordinary gf.
Actors don’t usually have their families/SO on location either, right? They may come for a visit but they don’t usually stay for weeks/months while filming is underway.
Depends on where/when the filming is taking place. Blanchette has her kids with her but I doubt she is bringing them to the actual set.
We don’t see Hemsworth wife lurking on the Thor set, ans she lives in Australia
There have been no reports of Taylor on set. Safe to say, this speculation is over extension.
Hemsworth and family have a Gold Coast mansion courtesy of Marvel for the duration of the shoot. So he gets to go home to wife and kids every night, and that isn’t a bad thing at all.
I’m torn between wanting this over so I never have to read another word about TS, and wanting the TayTo Tour of Love to keep touring so I can continue to laugh at it.
Indeed Guesto, I long for the piss taking opportunities of the Taymerica slide, dodgy parent pap walks, and Roman holiday pastiches.
Speculating about air travel and separate gym visits just isn’t doing it for me. I am still holding out hope that Hello magazine gets the exclusive engagement pictures and gushing article.
These two need to raise their game !
Absolutely, Shelly. If TayTo’s still in business, then they need to serve it up with the generous amount of cheese we’ve grown to expect from them if they want us to stay invested in their intercontinental Summer of Love.
I am asking for six more months. SIx more months puts us in February for the Grammys and the Oscars. Granted she is not up for a Grammy nor is he up for an Oscar – but I want their interlocking hands on the red carpets. The Emmys are not good enough for me.
Valentine’s Day @browniecakes. Epic!
It’s not even 2 months yet and I can’t wait for it to be over.
@Brownie:
NO
Request denied
I cannot sustain this level of irritation much longer
@MI6, abort, effective immediately.
“their publicists unfollowed each other.”
Hahaha! This perfectly sums up this relationship!
Mira, you are so right. She is probably sitting around debating with her publicist which male actor/musician she should next bedazzle a tank top for.
Who knew Tom had a publicist?
Hard to tell based on the Cockwombleness of this publicity campaign.
There is an article of Taylor on E! Online that really really positive any guess why E! Suddenly pro Taylor & this started when Taylor team gave exclusive of the dinner date pictures & video which was staged to E!
The headline should read no sign of Swifty yet…
Tom has struck gold and found the world’s wealthiest Hiddlestoner and she is taking a year out from work. Who wouldn’t follow that man half way around the world if he was at your beck and call, I doubt they want a possible 6 week break from hand holding in public. Unlikely he would tell her to stay home because he is clearly doing everything he can to prove to her that he is the unicorn prince many Hiddlestoners believed him to be.
@The Understduy: “Who wouldn’t follow that man half way around the world if he was at your beck and call” – er, someone actually interested in lots of sex with him (cough)?
Of course, if he is going to quote Shakespeare all day, by all means . . .
This.
That is so accurate
Yet so exhausting for him
To the @ understudy who wrote:” Who would want to follow that man around the world…”
Erm…It may be difficult for his fangirls to grasp but there are women out there who aren’t gaga for prematurely aged orange faced male cheerleaders with reecding hairlines.
Careful, Janey. TS might try to steal that description and use it for the lyrics of her next song. Copyright, sister. And quick.
I didn’t expect her to return with him, tho’ I would expect her to visit him at some point. She’s got plenty of money and time to spend doing so.
If Thor is behind schedule and they’re known for putting in 12 – 18 hour days on set when filming is underway, then it really doesn’t make sense for her to be living with him right now. My guess is that those first couple of weeks in Oz weren’t as demanding so they still had time to hang out. Once he’s up to his neck in work with having to learn lines and sleep when he’s not, she wouldn’t get much of him anyway. He’ll be entirely focused on work.
Don’t think it’s behind schedule. Ruffalo’s already wrapped.
I’m willing to bet that there will be a joyous reunion in a few days, maybe even a week. I don’t think she’ll leave him alone that long.
Doesn’t Tom have a habit of hooking up with co-stars on movie sets? 🙂 Well, at least Kat and Lizzy. Can someone please put Hayley Atwell in Thor? Maybe in a mask or something? Just get her to Australia! Quick!
I was poking around on another site and found a thread with a bunch of Swifties talking about how Tom has nothing planned after Thor because he knows that Taylor will be recording her new album soon and touring, so he wants to be free to only do James Bond and spend the rest of the time with her. Someone actually mentioned that maybe he’d do a play (which seems to be something a lot of Sane Hiddles fans have suggested) and they were all disagreeing because why would he want to do a stupid play when he’s gonna be James Bond?
Another thing I’ve learned is that everyone refers to her tween fans, but a LOT of these people seem to be grown women. Probably the same women obsessed with sparkly vampires and 50 Shades.
@ABBY J you know you spoke my mind about hayley. I always pictured tom with hayley. But well it is their choice.
Now all is left is LOKI/PEGGY. I wish there was a crossover between them.
I wish tom and hayley did a rom-com together especially “much ado about nothing”. Brannagh as director of the movie.
One can only wish! *sigh*
That would be wonderful, Tintin. The movie version of Much Ado has been done a few times, but I can’t think of a modern telling of it ever being done. Sort of like 10 Things I Hate about You or Clueless, except with adults. 😉
They would make a lovely couple. 🙂
@AbbyJ, Joss Whedon did a fantastic version of Much Ado set in his own house
Oh I know! I actually own that. It’s like a whose who of Whedon actors! I meant modern like the story not told through the original Shakespeare!
I do love that version, but I am partial to Kenneth Branagh’s!
I’m going to guess based on his last two girlfriends and ageism by actors that Hayley Atwell is too old for him. Surprised he hasn’t had as much pushback for dating younger women that other actors do. But men in Hollywood pushing 40 stick to dating women in their 20’s. In general, yes there are exceptions as with any rule.
As a matter fact, Tom and Hayley were scheduled over a couple of years ago to star together in a biopic film entitled “Close Enough”. This was the true story about war photographers Gerda Toro (Atwell) and Robert Capa (Hiddleston) and their turbulent/romantic relationship.

The above did not work out at the time due to prior commitments and budgeting from a studio standpoint. I’m sure this would have been a lovely film with them.
yes to hayley/tom
😀
Very few of the MCU actors have anything listed after their current projects. Tom has been hinting since the ISTL promotion began in March that a return to the stage is in the works.
Not that he is up for Bond but do they think making Bond films means plenty of time to sit around sipping tea while she records?
I don’t see him having the patience to sit around for weeks doing nothing
I would think that it would be bad for his career to take a bunch of time off anyway. I mean, he isn’t quite some huge star who can just sit around and do nothing for a year and come back to huge parts. KWIM? You gotta keep your name out there, and book some jobs.
I don’t really think that he was gonna get Bond before he became Mr. Taylor Swift, but they seem positive that Taylor is gonna get him that job.
@Lilacflowers – I think there have been rumors about a Richard II. Although how he would surpass Ben Whishaw’s staggering portrayal in “The Hollow Crown” I don’t know. I think Redmayne also did Richard II.
That Richard II film rumor has been around for at least 2 years now and only comes up in interviews octagenarian filmmaker Ivory gives to Italian magazines.
@Abby_J
“Doesn’t Tom have a habit of hooking up with co-stars on movie sets?”
Ummm. He’s not alone. It’s more the rule, rather than the exception with actors. Being holed up in a production on location is like working in an office on steroids. You’re with your coworkers almost exclusively. It’s not just the talent that hooks up, either. Not saying everyone does it, but, it’s not that uncommon.
@Linalamont
Oh I wasn’t really insulting him for it. I can understand all those attractive people stuck together for long periods of time. I just wanna control who is there for him to hook up with *cough* Hayley Atwell *cough* 🙂
I’m hoping for some serious hook up time again with Kat now that she’s single. I would like to imagine that (if not with me) my boy is just doing what guys do best – having some quality time in the bedroom with someone who is truly sexy.
@Abby_J says:
“Oh I wasn’t really insulting him for it. I can understand all those attractive people stuck together for long periods of time.”
I wasn’t calling you out on insulting him. Just saying that there’s A LOT of hooking up (crew, too) that goes on….. and, not just attractive people. 🙂
@Linalamont
What are you talking about? Everyone is attractive in movies. Even the guy who holds the microphones (Is that a Key Grip? Wait…..They have something to do with cameras, I think). Anyway. Hahaha. 🙂
Everyone is stuck together, people maybe become more attractive than they would otherwise……I can totally see it. I’d imagine there is a hierarchy, though. Sort of like the debauchery rumored to happen at the Olympics. The folks with the gold medals get first choice.
err…my comment was for kaiser, but I accidentaly hit the reply button.
Oh well hiddleswift forever 😉
He is totally Agent Maxwell Smart, not James Bond. Idris Elba! Hello! Why do I not find Hiddles attractive at all? I think Hiddleswift has run its course for me.
All these big conspiracy theories. Maybe they both have jobs to get to in separate locals. Does anyone really care?
Have you not seen what’s gone on? No es normal.
Had everything been normal, even for a celebrity relationship, no one would have come up with conspiracy theories or given these two pieces of white bread a second look. But it’s been so obviously staged that we can’t help but watch it and comment on it. It’s the Hindenburg of PRmances.
“given these two pieces of white bread a second look.”
Be careful.
Remember all the selfies they took on the rocks in RI?
You’d think we would have seen those all over her sm accounts had this stunt gone down better with the GP and media. But so many people were wise to the game that they had to leak their subsequent true love pics out via second-hand sources.
I never even knew who he was until he started showing up on Yahoo News. Now I do. I watched Thor and then Night Manager, plus a bunch of interviews, and I’ve grown to love him. He dances and is really good, speaks many languages, does impressions, is witty, smart, charming, and that voice is so sexy. I am now a big fan. I wonder how many more of me there are: didn’t even know who he was to now thinking he’s one of the sexiest men in Hollywood!
@Sarahd, I tried to tell you on the other thread to take care and make sure to come up for air.
The Hiddles vortex is very deep. Many have been reported to have never resurfaced again except in the virtual annexes of the internet. Many have been spotted swimming the deep Hiddle waters of Tumblr. Others are re-watching countless hours of Hiddleston videos on YouTube. Next Twitter, Tumblr and then Bamm!. It’s a year later and you’re arguing with people on gossip sites over how many identical white and blue shirts he owns or whether he is universal enough to be a box office leading man.
Tom is quite the conundrum in and of himself and no one has figured out why. He just is. He is a refreshing change from the usual celebrities we see in US entertainment landscape. Many will say it’s cause he’s so very ‘English’, but it seems to be more than that. He is an interesting mix of cultural differences. He is handsome, charming, awkward and verbose. He’s earnest and ambitious, optimistic and insecure, and he’s infectiously entertaining.
And the ladies on the veranda are a mix of funny, nice, prickly and a bit Martha Stewart today. 🙂
*looks around for a quick exit before Sixer sees M-Stew comparison.
Oh, poor girl, welcome to the club 😉
But maybe this start is better than the shock (and denial) phase existing Hiddlestoners had to go through after this unexpected pairing became public. Be careful. 🙂
Just come here and say I bet with my dinner that TayTay will soon land in OZ in her private jet. I’m still expecting a marriage proposal against goldencoast sunset. inside the extra big luggage, that’s the outfit for this sepcial occasion.
FW. Take a look at Gossip Cop today. Luke, Tom’s publicist, uses them as his mouthpiece and Luke says no – zero of 10 on accuracy a proposal is coming. Days ago the sugar momma story on GC got a 1 in 10 on accuracy. What’s the one?!
may be tay tay is in that extra luggage lol just kidding or am I? 😉
