Here are some photos of Taylor Swift out and about in New York yesterday. She was photographed leaving her gym during the day, then she went out to dinner with Lily Aldridge in the evening. Taylor wants you to know that she’s fine. She wants you to know that she controls this breakup narrative. Sources told The Sun – the same paper getting some surprising Snake Emoji exclusives – that Tay-Tay isn’t “losing sleep” over the Tiddlesplit, and “Taylor is in her mid-twenties and enjoys dating men. So what? She’ll carry on until one of them turns out to be the real deal. She’s not pressing any panic button yet.” Those will be the song titles: Losing Sleep, Panic Button, The Real Deal. Viral marketing.
As for the Tiddlesplit, there are still mixed reports about what actually went down between Tay-Tay and Tommy Hiddles. Us Weekly still seems to indicate that Taylor dumped Tom because he’s such a famewhore, but Taylor “feels a little embarrassed that the whole world saw them so serious and now it’s over.” Still, the source tells Us Weekly that “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.” My opinion: Us Weekly is getting their info from Team Swift (thus, their cover story) and Taylor trying to play it like “maybe we’ll get back together” is Classic Dumped. She did the same thing with Jake Gyllenhaal and Harry Styles too, tried to play it like she didn’t get dumped, and tried to stalk both of them into getting back with her. Remember when she went to London to follow Harry Styles around just after he dumped her? Remember when she stalked Jake at the VF Oscar party?
Speaking of Classic Dumped, sources now tell Heat Street/DM that yeah, Tom Hiddleston dumped Taylor. Because he was bored.
He was said to have been ‘humiliated’ after being dumped in the midst of their very public love affair. But now friends of Tom Hiddleston have come forward to claim it was in fact he who decided to give Taylor Swift the flick as he had grown ‘tired of her.’ Indeed 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.’
Team Taylor had mooted the idea that she decided to get rid of Tom after he demanded she walk the Emmys red carpet with him, in what would appear to be a transparent attempt to boost his career. But the friend said: ‘Tom drifted from her and it had nothing to do with her being put off by the publicity. It’s more to do with the fact he’s a commitment-phobe who gets bored very easily.’
As if that was not enough, the footloose and fancy free star is supposedly noted by friends for a ‘three month rule’ which dictates when he gets sick of his latest romantic partner. His pal said: ‘Even his sisters affectionately chide him on his lack of relationship staying power.’
Before Taylor Swift, no one really knew much about Tom’s love life, so I don’t know if the “three-month” thing is historically correct for him. It seems like Jane Arthy lingered for a lot longer than three months, and Tom and Elizabeth Olsen were bringing the covert drama for more than a year. Is it possible he was “bored” with Taylor? Sure. But getting dumped by guys after three months is sort of her M.O. as well.

I’m sure that he was emotionally exhausted since they started up during #SnakeEmoji and “This is what you came for”-gate. I wonder how many long nights were filled with her sobbing and planning revenge on her long list of enemies. I wonder if she has a burn book.
And the smashed phone.
I agree. I feel like guys see past Swifts shiny veneer pretty quickly hence the rapid turnover. Swiftgate just brought it on quicker and he bounced to save himself.
He probably knows the answer to this, which is why her side might want to hush.
Their extra-long date of several weeks probably revealed a lot about her behind the scenes persona — especially during tape-gate.
There has to be major highs (private planes, first class accommodations) and major lows (self serving unchecked behavior) with someone like her. Finally the lows out weighed the highs.
It is called “dating.” But yes, I think he got bored with her once the infatuation wore off. They have very little in common other than being unmarried humans. Get yourself back to being “private” with Adam Eppie Calvin Nuke LaLousch Wilkes Harris and posting swan floats on Instagram, Taylor.
I laugh every time I read this lengthy name. Where does ‘Eppie’ fit into it? Is it short for epic douche? Epic whiner?
Ebby Calvin ‘Nuke’ LaLoosh is the dumb jock in Bull Durham, played by Tim Robbins.
Just that he took the name because he thought it sounded more “street” or whatever but the only Calvins who spring into my mind are John Calvin, Calvin from Calvin & Hobbes, and Eppie Calvin from Bull Durham, none of whom have street cred.
Thanks for clarifying. I never understood his taking the Calvin name, either.
@lilacflowers
Are you crazy? Calvin from Calvin & Hobbes has major street cred. You’ve been away from the streets for too long. 😉
Does he? Good! I love him. But I love Hobbes more.
Hobbes is OG
THE NAMES THE NAMES!!!! As the kids say “I can’t even…”
The battle of pr has just began. But seriously it just with the same narrative, like they get bored with, she wanted marriage, needy, stalker. I also feel she is dead on the inside. Taylor get a good shrink because I still Iike her, lol don’t blame me
If he shows up at the Emmys with a beautiful date (who isn’t Taylor Swift) that would be the ultimate in hilarious. That would drive Swifty nuts.
I said yesterday – he should turn up with Elzabeth Debicki (who will probably be there anyway) on his arm and a broad grin on his face. And absolutely totally refuse to make any comment about this debacle.
If he shows, he will be with Idris and it will be all kinds of wonderful
God, I hope not. We’ll have another album with angsty songs about how he did her wrong. She’d get to paint herself as the victim yet again.
I’ve hated this girl ever since her “special place in hell” comment. I’m just glad everyone sees her for what she’s always been, a manipulative, petty, thin-skinned, and spiteful person.
Idris would be a beautiful date!
@lilac Idris would be a great date, and a superb dance off partner.

It just pisses me off, because it’s such a misogynistic argument! “She wanted mariage and babies, desperate bore!” it just drives the point home that women are either dirty fun whores or boring goody babymakers, just f-off patriarchy.
Women just can’t win, it’s so exhausting.
Whatsit whosit? Who said that Taylor wanted babies and kids and therefore bored Tom? I think that was the narrative that emerged when she broke up with Calvin but not now. The narrative HERE is that Tom got bored, period.
Yeah, not sure why that pisses you off here, nothing like that has been said.
Of course he got bored. What on earth do they have in common? At least now he does not have to pretend to like Selena Gomez’s music. He should have known this going in.
Sorry, you’re right, it may have been another article? But this is usually the narrative associated with Taylor Swift, but also saying that he “got bored” tends to imply that she wants commitment and isn’t exciting enough for a Man.
Anyway, I don’t hate Taylor Swift, so maybe it’s my biased outsider perspective?
I think “bored” isn’t exactly right in the Tom case, though. I can think of other words that might more accurately reflect what Tom felt as the receipts unfurled and flapped in the wind: disillusioned, exhausted, irritated, overwhelmed, disappointed, panicked, embarrassed.

Maybe occasionally he was bored, but I don’t see that being the primary emotion.
I agree with you Val! And yes, the far reaching and ridiculously predictable narrative grew louder while Tom and Taylor weren’t in the public eye together in order to provide “fresh” material. Included in this was the crap from the ever absurd “unnamed sources” about how Taylor was apparently telling any stranger within earshot that “Tom was the one” “and how she is ready for Truffles and Tea and baby makes Three with her new British Gent.” Subsequently, 24 hours later, they produce the inevitable headline (by the same tabloid in many cases) that “Taylor is too cloying because she wants marriage and babies.” This is all so laughable especially because their generic and annoying “scripts” always come from unnamed sources and so often the tabloid narrative comes down to a patronizing dialogue about single woman (in many cases) and basically made up exploitive crap about any human of public interest. So, what the hell, I’ll make up my own narrative below:
Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston decide to try dating because they formed a genuine crush on one another after meeting at the Met Gala. Tom, guided by his white haired, man-boy PR person was also advised not to worry about showing off the relationship in public because it would be brilliant for his image. Taylor’s PR team advised her similarly because she needed to separate herself from Calvin Harris (and possibly create a distraction from the sh*t pile hitting the fan called StalkerYayKimTray). Taylor and Tom, affectionately called Tiddles, both saw what they thought were the advantages of dating while also genuinely being attracted to each other. But alas, Tom had no idea about the train wreck he was walking into. He even tried toying with the paparazzi with his British sense of humor by wearing an I Heart TS tank top. Little did he know the press would not appreciate his insider joke or how they would eat him alive for looking like a dork from the 1920’s romping around with teenagers in the surf. Taylor’s experiment with public image did not turn out well either but she is in a no win situation regardless of who she dates. She is doomed. Eventually Tom’s infatuation was replaced with “how in the Fu*k do I get out of this?” and as Taylor saw the writing on the wall her infatuation was replaced with the reality that she was dating a guy who was beginning to look more and more like her Granny going out for a daily mall walk. Fast Forward … like really fast forward to Rhode Island and “the talk, the plan, the sigh of relief on both sides” and ultimately on the day of the official end, a slight residue of what might have been had they kept their relationship very, very private.
Tom please stop – you were so close to walking away with some dignity in tact. Now you look as bad as she does for milking it for all the publicity you can get.
Don’t get too excited. The Fail makes things up all the time. His friends and colleagues don’t talk to the tabloids and certainly Not about his love life or dating history. They NEVER have!
I agree, @cranberry. This story has “overzealous ‘source’ from Tumblr” written all over it.
Of course he was bored!
He swapped Shakespeare’s plays for Selena Gomez’s concerts and cringy pap strolls.
FFS.
also, not for a second I believed that this was nothing but a PR campaign.
No kisses or hands holding, off camera.
I believe his camp.
I believe he’s camp too!
Arent pretty much all of her exes? John Mayer is probably the only “non camp” one of the bunch although it is rumored that he is both. She probably is too.
Nice!
What you did there, I see it. 🙂
Oh don’t think every British Man is the height of sophistication. It’s a myth you’re buying into.
Of course they’re not, they can be just as ‘Frat Boy’ as anywhere else i.e. getting as drunk as a skunk and setting light to their own farts, a few (very few) might be ‘sophisticated’ in the superficial sense but they’re usually public schoolboys (aka Tom Hiddleston et al) and you have to put up with the strangulated RP (received pronunciation like the Queen – say ‘Brown’ like ‘Brian’) and a near terminal sense of entitlement. Some of them are very nearly normal, good blokes. It varies.
I read it was basically a fling, but Taylor’s handlers didn’t want her to look like That Kind of Girl so they insisted on pretending for three months – but the two have not been seen together since July 27. Truth?
Correct, so it wasn’t even 3 months. More like two. A fling.
But if it was truly a fling, why not hook up a few times and go their separate ways? No one would have a clue. They could have easily avoided the arranged rocks, meeting the parents, trip to Rome, etc….
New song;
She flung her fling
her Brit boytoy thing
out to sea
with just THAT vest.
leaving the tabloids
to make up the rest
as she struts her smirky face
out in public places
like, who needs receipts
I got songs to create
I do love to hate on my ex
Hey Kayne
we still could have sex…..
I would buy the single if she actually said, ‘Hey Kanye, we could still have sex……’
Your song is AMA worthy. Make sure you get a writing credit when she releases it.
Abby_J, I don’ think it was intended to be a fling, but the duration qualifies it as such in my mind, at least. Six weeks of mostly traveling together isn’t much of a relationship to me.
Chef Grace, nicely done. You should cowrite a song or two… you could retire early with the royalties.
If you believed it was fake, why would you pick a camp? IMO, they’re both seasoned veterans of how things work, so they both entered into this with their eyes open. He didn’t get bored with her because they weren’t even together outside of the pap walks and pap sightings.
It was reported that he wasn’t even staying at her place in LA when they were in LA. And that she wasn’t with staying with him in Australia. Remember his getting take-out? Taylor has people for that, so if they were together wouldn’t she have sent a lackey and not her boyfriend? But you guys keep thinking they spent their nights together talking and braiding each others hair, LOL.
He seems clingy to me, actually.
I think he did the dumping when he realised she’s a Stage 5 clinger with control issues (honestly next time Tom do some research).
That friend source of Tom’s seens dubious too, his last 2 supposed involvements went on for more than 3 months.
If he has commitment issues its because he’s so career driven, that’s my take.
He’s always had them.
Yeah, while I could believe that he’d get bored with a woman after a few months, I don’t believe that a theatre producer would speak to the DM about Tom’s dating life.
Sounds like the “friend” source from THAT Tumblr blog.
Especially as it wouldn’t be difficult to trace that theatre producer
That same “producer” contacted “Heat Street” (which is the webpage that DM got its story from) back in July to comment about Tom’s feelings on Hiddleswift. He said that Tom had just “spoken to him” about the matter (which seems unlikely – this was before he had spoken himself – the one time that he did) On investigation nobody could figure out who he could be since there were no co-producers on Coriolanus. Sounds like more Tumblr “sources”, not a “friend”.
Haha Lilacflowers, that tumblr blog that has changed her tune entirely since her friend, and impeccable source, proved non-existent?
It is a common thing with guys. Right girl, wrong time. I am in no way saying this was the right girl but def. wrong time. I’ve seen it with most of my guy friends. Perfect girl, wrong time.
Not perfect. They have nothing in common
Yeah, Tay certainly isn’t the “right” girl for Tom, no matter when they hook up.
He should hook up with a smart, well-respected theatre director or playwright. Not a “Sophie Hunter”, but something who’s made a name for themselves. That would go a long way in helping him get his street cred back, tho’ it won’t do much to get him on tabloid covers.
agree with you. if the receipts never surfaced, their relationship will last longer.
I’m beginning to think the right girl for Tom is a live-in mommy. Somebody to make (force) him to wear sunblock and hat when he goes out, eat bone broth and drive him to the pool for his jogging replacement laps.
That DM story, is Tom really trying to sell himself as the English Clooney or Dicaprio? Because its not working for me. I really believe he needs to fight back but not like this. He should have gone the Calvin Harris route and called her out directly. A quick tweet about how its very upsetting to see somebody he liked send out her PR flacks to spread lies. That shuts her up instantly and it confirms what everybody already thinks. But this covert PR war via tabloids….he cant win this. Her entire machine is designed for this war. Even Kim K knew that hence the snapchat receipts.
He is working. And the Tweeting wars are childish.
He is playing a supporting role in a Marvel film not curing cancer. He has plenty of free time on his hands. Theres nothing childish about standing up for yourself when your entire career relies on public perception. Its leaving a vacuum which can be filled with all manner of character assassination that would be foolish. He is not Gyllenhaal, he has close to no name recognition in the real world, he wont get the Gyllenhaal benefit of the doubt. Setting the record straight, plainly and cleanly on a tweet allows him to send his message directly so theres no chance that he will be misconstrued. It stops her in her tracks (as it did when Calvin pulled this) and allows him to move on.
His only other two options are 1) stand aside and spend the rest of his career with whatever narrative she creates or 2) enter a tabloid war with her that he will never ever win.
Sorry , but the Twitter wars are extremely childish. He is not a 13 year old nor should he lower himself to the petty level of Calvin or a Kardarseian. He uses his Twitter account for work promotion and charitable causes. In a month, this will have blown over and the world will be onto the next celebrity dust up.
Regardless of whether it’s a good idea or not, I will eat my hat if he tweets. This is not the Britisher passive aggressive way. I can believe he’ll send out “sources” to chat nonsense but openly tweet? Never gonna happen.
I’m kind of hoping he has a secret twitter account out there, with a false name. Where he trolls folk ruthlessly and spitefully.
I can totally see him slagging off Taylor for her gym leggings and making bitchy remarks about silicone t*ts.
We know who you are, Anne Thomas…!
@Lilacflowers
” Sorry , but the Twitter wars are extremely childish”…. More childish than comment wars? Just kidding. If someone feels strongly about something, they should always speak up, there are no medals for matyrs whether in celebrity PR or gossip blogs. Anyway, this isnt going away in a month. Whatever narrative finds ground will live on in the collective memory. Thats why people speak so authoritatively about who cheated or who run off ten years after a couple breaks up. I dont mind this back and forth but I am a bit too busy for it today, let me just say this; Tom will never see any of this, he will probably ride with whatever advice his PR flacks give him but if I were one of them, I would do that one perfect tweet and end this bs once and for all. Thats my take.
Maybe the breakup narrative is a part of the contract he signed with Miz Cobra Smirks.
He just has to sit at a table with an assistant, while rubbing his face and trying to remember what a broken heart lools like for the camera. He just looked bored and tired to me. 🙂
There is no such thing as the “one perfect tweet.” Eppie Calvin is now backtracking on that mess of his months later. If Tom tweeted about this, the Squad and Eppie Calvin and the Kardarseians and God only knows who else would be adding to it within seconds. Childish. Tom has not issued any comments. Tabloid “sources” are very often the intern who was told to put some spin. It will all be pushed away in the next news cycle. And yes, some will remember, like some remember Gwyneth blowing kisses to Brad, but most won’t and most won’t care either way.
Commenting on his relationships has never been Tom’s style and he should not change. I sat back and laughed when so many here were predicting the Instagram account would soon be full of pictures of beach walks and swans documenting “true lurve.” Unless he’s in love with Chemboy those predictions were way off.
😮 Lilac – Tom Hiddleston is IN LOVE with Chemboy?! Well I never…
*dons theatre producer’s costume and dials the DM*
“There is no such thing as the “one perfect tweet.”
I dunno, Katy’s “Time, the ultimate truth teller.” tweet after Calvin name-dropped her in his July rant was pretty good.
Or, JK Rowlings response to a Serena Williams hater — “she is built like a man”. Yeah, my husband looks just like this in a dress. You’re an idiot.
I think short, well contracted mic drop tweets are the best. Tom, unfortunately doesn’t have the gift of the mic drop, so it’s probably best he stay quiet.
@Naya – I would think that Loki would play a substantial role in Ragnarok. Regardless, I’ve gotta go with @lilac here. The illusive “one perfect tweet” is a trap and should only be attempted by someone with personality of a whip or nothing to lose, or a dumb ass. Tom is non of these. As Bonzo said, he’s not good at quibbling back slaps.
The last time he was on Graham Norton it was obvious they had provided Tom with a joke to burn Norton with, but it went totally flat. Tom looked like he was trying to remember the line, and he couldn’t keep a straight face. It was obvious it just wasn’t something Tom would say or felt comfortable doing on TV as himself.
I’m sure it must seem odd how he could agree to participate in a PR stunt with TS and not be able to dish out even when it’s been totally set up for him, but everyone has their gray areas and their B&W areas. I think that Tom can go along with something that’s not admirable if nobody’s getting hurt and figures the fall out will mostly be on him. Being confrontational and calling someone out in a public (or private) arena is not his style. I think if things were to go on and on for way too long and be causing real damage then his PR team will be given permission to strike back but more in the form of setting the record straight. He might even make ONE, very dry, serious statement to the press negating any false perceptions bouncing around.
That would be it though. Like @lilac says, no tweeting wars and dropping shade everywhere. It may not seem strong enough, but In these respects you will find Tom to be quite formal in his conduct much to sixer’s disappointment but a relief to her hat.
@Bonzo, see, I don’t think Katy’s tweet in that situation was good at all. Yes, I agree, she had reason to be angry and disgruntled, but that was in the midst of somebody else’s childish rant (one for which he is now backtracking like crazy) and all sorts of other people were getting involved in it. To me, it felt like Katy was piling on, like a teenage girl. I think it would have said more in her favor if she had just remained silent. The truth was out there no need to pile on. And that is what would happen here if Tom tried to do anything. All those stupid snake emojis would erupt again and all sorts of other rubbish with people who don’t belong in the fray piling on.
Rowling is quite the skilled markswoman.
@Dippit, yes. There are now memes floating around about the mysterious blond in Australia who broke up Tiddles with pictures of Thor.
Sorry, but no. The more Hiddleston stays clear out of this mess, the better. Or at least, as clear as possible, given the situation.
His side needs to be silent, no “leaked” stories, no “sources”, just walk away. Leave her to it.
I am mostly disappointed that Sixer did not get her build-a-bear dreams fulfilled.
I weep for Sixer…
Sixer will be ok, I think. As long as they keep the battle of thirst alive and strong… 🙂
See below! I am consoling myself with a fan fiction.
(When I say fan fiction, I mean fantasy fan faction. Of course, I’m not actually typing anything other than daft comments here.)
MTE on both accounts
I was counting on AT LEAST Build-a-Bear, and some RC shenanigans for the emmys, so this is like watching a souffle sink in my hands. Maybe there will be more to come. Tears. A break up song.
She’s going to daily pap walk herself to show how over it she is until every New Yorker posts an Instagram of her doing a daily pap walk. With different sneakers each day. I think she has repeated tights but not sneakers.
Could be a subtle message that she didn’t like his only workout outfit and one pair of sneakers… Just putting it out there! Just kidding… Phew, it’s getting hot on here.
The DM source is clearly from TAYLOR’S PR people. He was bored with her because he’s a commitment phobe. Lol. It’s kind of genius.
Right? It seemed pretty obvious to me too.
+2 She can’t stand to take the L – everyone knows this was a contractual business relationship. She needs to let this go and move on.
Stop being a rational adult 🙂 If she was in the habit of ‘letting things go’, I daresay she wouldn’t have a career at all.
Let it go! Let it go!
And I’ll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go! Let it go!
The perfect girl is gone!
LittlestRoman, I think that is why she’s so smug after a breakup. She’s counting the millions that she’s gonna earn recording a song about it. She knows how to turn her private life into bank.
@Ohdear Never take the L, or the high road…
Taylor’s life motto in a nutshell.
Agreed, this story is 100% from Taylor’s people. Tom beat her to the story by tipping British press while she was tipping American press, and now she’s trying to tip British press to get the narrative back to her being the victim.
I might be wrong… but the one leaving this story with PR damage is Hiddleston. He can turn it the way he or his people like in the press, but her reputation was already awful concerning relationships. He had managed to keep his under wraps before this.
At 35 you should have known better than trying to become more famous dating a pop princess and pimping your own family in front of paparazzi to ‘please’ her.
Even following ‘his’ narrative, this story does him no favours.
Regardless if his side is feeding quotes or not, the fact that the tabloids are running with the he said/she said contradicting stories continues to make him look as ridiculous as her. This is the consequences of foolishly choosing to be involved with someone who has made a cottage industry out of monetizing her private life.
His image will probably recover in time, but for now there’s not much he can do to make himself look better than to just be silent on the matter. The tabloid stories will stop in a week or two and everyone can move on.
You’re right, even if Tom stays silent, it’s possible the tabloids can make it look like he and his team are engaging. Someone pointed out that just because a tabloid says they have a source “close to so-and-so”, doesn’t mean they actually do. I find it definitely within the realm of possibility that a) a tabloid might say that to make their info seem more credible, or b) a publicist from the opposition specifies that attribution as a condition of giving info in order to make the other side look childish/petty for firing back.
I’m not saying that’s what is going on here, but I will say that I’m looking at every bit of celebrity gossip differently than I was before. Hiddleswift has been a crash course in how the gossip industry actually works.
@Dara, that happens far more than people realize.
@Bonzo
My humble opinion here but his reputation will recover once he does something so newsworthy that will overshadow the current events.
I usually use Mr.Silver as a measure for “durable news vs. forgettable gossip”: he has no social med accounts, doesn’t read gossip magazines or websites, only reads ‘serious news outlets”. Well before Tayto he barely remembered Hiddleston was the actor playing Loki; now he call him Swifty because all this charade filtered to BBC news too… I don’t think Tom will be able to shrug this story off for a very long time
From tank top wearing sap, to player in one fell swoop.
He’ll be pictured with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth, clutching a bottle of whisky with a “bevy of beauties” tmDailyMail,
before we know it.
Leggy beauties, flaunting their pins!
And showcasing their “killer curves”
And their flowing curly locks
Don’t forget their “pert derrieres”. Everyone needs a pert derriere or two!
Ha, they can never resist a pert derriere can they?
Or nip slip!
Perfect pearly whites glimpsed when they flash a brief smile
Um, what about their “ample assets”?!?
One of those curvy, leggy beauties will let her brunette tresses tumble past her shoulders, almost reaching her pert derriere. And she will be makeup-free, except for a ravishing slick of red lipstick.💄
@shelly* brilliant! Can just picture it. He can channel Brando. Er… maybe not.
I wonder if Taylor is furious. Almost all of her breakups include the guy getting bored, which makes you wonder if there’s major truth to that. I don’t mind him fighting back, I’m sick of seeing just Taylor’s side during her breakups.
After much careful thought (breastfeeding and nothing on tv) I actually do think Hiddles used Taylor a bit. Don’t get me wrong, homegirl loved every bit of the attention, but I remember reading before Hiddleswift that Tom was hard to pin down. He cares very much about fame and loves the limelight. Idk who broke up with who, but people now know who he is and everyone is “bitch, please” at Taylor wanting to be “private”. Well played Hiddles.
Love your parenthesis:)
The DM went with this story just shortly after running with the story that he was sad and depressed and confiding his upset to friends in a coffee shop, immediately followed by the “he’s going to try to win her back after Thor films” story line. They’re just spinning whatever works to get clicks.
Boredom? He wanted her to be his girlfriend to raise his profile and get a lot of attention. And so he did. They did their best Liz/Richard jet-setting imitation with paps in tow. They didn’t get the reaction they wanted, though, being declared the new “it” couple. . Laughter and derision and
jokes about their manufactured loved-up world pap tour weren’t in Tay Tay’s daydreams.
Not sure how having Taylor as his girlfriend raises his profile in any way that would be helpful to his career goals. Her fan base is 10 – 13 year old girls. He’s never done a movie or theatrical targeting that demographic. Doubt he wants to in the future. Yeah, his agent trying to impress producers/casting directors with “Oh yeah we know that Tom can open any movie – he’s got the 10 -13 year old girl demographic in the bag” yeah, not so much.
Unless the answer is that he has this burning desire to do a remake the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants movies.
More PR shots fired from her team. No one buying the “he wanted too much publicity” line? Okay, try he was a commitment-phobe who gets bored easily. She tried but there was nothing she could do. Sooner or later something is bound to stick, right?
She looks way too smug for someone who isn’t coming out of this looking all that good.
Three months is just dating, not the relationship of a lifetime. If she was really interested in rehabbing her image, that’s what she should have gone with-it was fun, but we’re both busy right now, no big deal, maybe later. But her ego will absolutely not allow for that so she is still doing what she always does in a breakup-play the victim and try to make the other guy look bad.
I agree, 3 months of dating and then an abrupt end, even with being over zealous at the beginning, is totally normal. I’ve been there (minus the paparazzi). I think a simple, “it was fun, we realized it wasn’t going to work”, with no assignment of blame would have been pretty relatable. Although honestly, with some breakups I would have loved to have a publicist to shade and blame the ex in the immediate aftermath….and I’m in my 30’s.
If his side insists on fanning the flames, may I suggest he/they use a southern approach? He probably didn’t train on this when preparing for the Hank role.
He/they could slap back ever so gently with a message expressing care and concern — with a big dose of ‘bless her heart’ and ‘do you want to take this further?’
Message would go like this — “Tommy Willy appreciated getting to know her, and tried to be as supportive as possible during a difficult period of her public life. He balanced his work commitment while trying to comfort her…”
I love this strategy. Sadly, I think it calls for fewer words than TH is used to. Bless his heart.
I am genuinely looking forward to the verbal tap-dancing he will do when asked about this ‘relationship’ in future interviews.
Hopefully it will be out of bounds.
But who will get custody of the parents? And what will happen to the “I Heart TS” tee shirt? I actually feel vindicated about that tee shirt, because I never did believe it referred to Taylor. I think Tom was declaring his love for T.S. Eliot.
I think one of the inflatable swans is wearing the shirt now.
Ha!
Nah, he was declaring his love for Tony Stark..
So now the inflatable swan is declaring its love for Tony Stark. Feige needs to work the swan into Infinity Wars.
And what about the cats? THE ACTS! It is always hardest on the cats……
And the bodyguards Frisky and Tabby? Will no one think of them? Tabby was getting his cardio in trying to keep up (and failing) on Tom’s daily beach runs. He’ll be out of shape soon.
T.S. Eliot, love it — though I think it may be giving him too much credit.
Anyway, I believe Taylor bought him that shirt and provided it to him as a requisite part of his wardrobe for that weekend’s performance,
Yes, I’m sure TS provided the t-shirt of doom. But I doubt that she asked him to wear it. I imagine she shoved it at him and just said, “You’re wearing this.”
Same with arm tattoo. And kept reminding him to smile and laugh convincingly. “And frolic in the water, Tom!” 😁
I always assumed she made the tank top with sharpies, and he lost a bet and had to wear it.
Pictures from earlier that same day show him wearing a black t-shirt in the water.
“Wannabe Bond” – hahahhahhaha!
That’s all I have to offer on this omnishambles.
You have also offered omnishambles, so funny.
I’m curious though: in all of her after breakup dust SOMEONE’S team (probably hers) releases that the man got “bored”: with her. Do you think there may actually be some truth in that, or do you think her camp rolls it out to fire up the pity train??
Possibly. Sounds like someone in one or both camps can’t keep the stories straight.
Some of both, and I don’t necessarily think it means she’s boring. I would guess that’s a major reason why most relationships that fail around the three-month mark end.
I’ve ended a few relationships in my mid 20’s due to boredom, don’t think I’d fall in love with him, or he shows signs of control that was too much. They all were at the 3-4 month mark.
My fan fiction will be called Tinker Taylor Sold A Spy. And it will be full of classic lines from Britisher pantomimes. Such as “oh no she didn’t” and “oh yes she did” repeated ad infinitum.
She’s behind you !!!
With a Build-a-Bear trebuchet battle at the climax?
Now I want to buy one of those three-man water balloon slingshots and shoot stuffed animals all over the house. So. Much. Fun!
I suppose I can fit in the battle. That could be the subtitle. It shall be – Tinker Taylor Sold a Spy: the true story of the Battle of the Thirst.
Who’s gonna take on the drag part?
MacKenzie Crook
I was thinking more um… Simon Callow. Perfect pantomime dame and excellent for the double entrendres in my planned lines about builder’s bum.
OMG! Simon Callow, yes! But Mackenzie has to be in there too somehow
MacKenzie can be the long-suffering friend of LEGS. “Mate, I did say. You’ll only make a tit of yourself.”
Now is the time for the gloves to really come off.
I am waiting with bated breath for his “sources” to declare ‘Tom tried to be patient, but when after 3 Months of dating, they still hadn’t slept together, He realised it was probably never going to happen, and so decided to leave Taylor as pure as when he met her’
If Taylor is gay, I hope she gets to an honest place where she can come out and just be herself. If she is a narcissist, I hope she gets to an honest place where she can stop being herself. I hope Tom can find a quiet British girl with no agenda who likes tennis, Shakespeare and sex.
Not necessarily in that order? 🙂
In other words, Sophie Hunter.
Would love to see him with Emilia Clark. Is she seeing anyone? I don’t really know much about her. She was just adorable in that movie with Sam Clafflin
She looks so smug.
Correction: she is so smug.
LOL!
John Mayer broke her heart and shehasnt let herself heal. That is my two cents on all the shallow relationships and revenge post break up. I’m probably way off base.
I think there might be some truth to it, that would explain also the long feud with Katy. I also think she wanted to get back at Calvin, that’s why the romance with Tom.
That man is so gross. It amazes me how he has managed to have so many successful and attractive women fall for him. He must be amazing in bed to have broken so many hearts. He’s physically not that attractive.
He IS so gross and yet so many women have moaned over him: Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jennifer Aniston, Katy Perry, even that chick on Vanderpump Rules, and Swifty…what is it about him? I can’t imagine he’d be a celebrity I’d like to have sex with if given the opportunity.
I like Lainey’s take on it:
http://www.laineygossip.com/Taylor-Swift-and-Tom-Hiddleston-break-up-as-Toms-team-claims-Taylor-didnt-want-to-go-to-Emmys-with-him/44832
Swift has peaked as I doubt any of her future realationships will generate the attention this one did and the interest around this will be over in a week or two. Touch wood I think (I hope) she’s over.
after this I think she will date trust fund kids. the kind of karlie kloss’ boyfriend or someone like salma hayek’s husband and mariah carey’s fiancee.
Personally, I’ll be very happy if she date Prince Harry, but I dont think The Firm will allow that to happen.
There MUST be an athlete! She has yet to touch the world of sports! She must get involved with a professional athlete! And then, on to the trust fund babies and tycoons.
She can make all the bad guys good for a weekend. (🎵 you can tell me when it’s over, if it was worth the pain🎵).
“Some of the things I write about on a song like “Blank Space” are satire,” quoth Taylor.
No, honey, the word you’re looking for is autobiography, not satire.
Who ‘breaks up’ with someone you’ve been seeing for three months? Who even calls a three month time spent more apart than together a ‘relationship’? There are aspects of this divine comedy mess I just can’t grasp…
IKR? I went skimming back through some US Magazine articles last night and laughed out loud when I came across the one about them having a big blowout because, “making a long-distance relationship work is difficult”. At that point, they had been apart 10 days.
Dara: …And together for about five
The whole thing remains weird, my rational brain is trying to figure out the truth that we will probably never get as it’s now a mix of PR battling and speculation by the media for clicks. I have to say I thought they would prove the fauxmance accusers wrong by keeping it going longer than this.
If they hooked up potentially June 10th, he was alone for a couple of days in the UK & in NYC, then solo in Australia a couple of weeks before his interviews in LA but they possibly finished it by the time he flew back to Australia on August 17th? If not, did they brake up whilst facetiming across the globe?
Those two months though looked to the world like an epic love at first sight event. If she just wanted some fun why do the totally inseparable stuff so early, jetting him around on her private plane, romantic dinners, seeing her real estate portfolio, meeting the parents and squad in full glare of the media, that seems to be mainly on her as it’s her MO, I just can’t imagine him pushing her into doing all that. The releasing of the July 4th snaps for her pals to publish spoke volumes for me, the porch photo specifically. She was selling that romance to the world via her squad and PR leaked ‘source’ comments and maybe genuinely looking for a real life distraction from her ex and nasty Kim. I think Tom mistook her enthusiasm for a storybook love affair as a declaration of commitment and was so flattered he went all out to prove how worthy he was. I wonder if once alone her people maybe reined her in and reminded her not to live her life through the media and who she is dating? The all out sale of their relationship now just makes her look fickle for either ending it or snubbing him so that he bailed. It’s believable to me that Tom who has said he is a 100% guy 100% of the time wanted her all in or out too, I don’t think he wants the Di Caprio reputation, I think he wants to settle down and thought she was a huge catch, for sure he enjoyed her lifestyle, anyone who wanted epic adventure in their life might find it irresistible and worth making a fool them self for. I expect the only ones devastated by this ending are the Swifties who bought Taylor’s new fairy-tale. Tay and To will both survive, she will continue to live in her million dollar pop star bubble and Tom will soon drop out of the tabloid radar once they have had their mileage off the break up. In a way it shows he has backbone to stand up for what he wants, as it was over so fast I hope after some time he will see it with the same humour some of us did, if he gets precious about it will make him look sad.
Honestly I hope they are both embarrassed at the public nature of this whole stupid “relationship” and maybe learn a lesson for next time.

Love this man LOL
I was the preview for that prior to the show… he’s so awesome!
Colbert is amazing. Corden had a routine, also. My strong guess is come SI promotion time, Tom is back on both shows, laughing at himself. Corden adores TH, and Colbert has been charmed by him in past interviews. Those kinds of appearances will go a long way toward righting HMS HIDDLESTON.
Corden has already opened his last monologue with PIR Tiddles. They always seemed friendly. I can’t imagine he didn’t call Tom or Tom’s people beforehand for approval. Or neither would I be surprised it went the other way around. So yeah. Redemption in public opinion en route.
Grace, I just had to giggle and point out that you and I had two dyslexic words in our posts… Me, with the was/saw mixup and you with the PIR/RIP swap. 😉
Corden:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=of1NAfCXBh0
@ Bonzo Dyslexic fingers indeed. >< I always have to look at every time I type twice or three times before posting/sending, yet a lot of things still manage to escape my notice. But nevertheless, we try!
He’ll be back on both shows in the spring and may take some gentle ribbing from one or the other about it but probably not both. Colbert seems to really enjoy him – the ISTL-era interview was fantastic – and he has a really good rapport with Corden – the interview with the leopards and bearcat and penguin was off the charts as far as adorable.
The more this spins, the more obvious it is that she got dumped and is furiously trying to recover her advantage.
She’s a gaping maw of insecurity and need used him to get back at Calvin and duck Kimye. Being the dope that he is, he fell in line.
I do feel legitimized in having sympathy for him at this point. Sure, he’s culpable in this too, but I hold with my opinion that he did not realize what he was in for.
Agree with Sixer and Lilac that he would never tweet. That’s low rent and he’s a gentleman to a fault.
And if anyone is trying to get anybody back, it’s her. Not him.
#stalker
#demogorgon
#goaway
2nd # is the best description of her for the week. 🙂
I feel poor old TH has lived a sheltered life in such a manner that he has no idea what the demogorgons of the world are capable of.
She aint no lady that is for certain LOL
Hey Chef Grace!
Agreed.
There is no easy way out of the Upside Down 😉
English as the second language speaker here. Question: I always thought someone was dope at something meant they were good at it. But looking at ‘being the dope that he is’, dope meant the opposite of what I thought it meant?
It’s both, Grace. “Dope” in this context means charmingly naive, dorky, unaware, innocent.
@Grace. ‘Dope’ has the following approximate meanings:
1. Dope = (fondly) an idiot, a foolish or stupid person;
2. Dope = drug eg. cannabis/hash;
3. Dope = good, cool.
In a sentence: Tom is currently No.1 dope. He probably is in need of No.2 dope to cope with his public outing as a No.1 dope, and is very likely praying and dreaming of the day when TayTo will be forgotten and he might be regarded once again as No.3 dope.
@ Grace I’m a Brit and I never heard of Dope to mean good or cool before.
Yep, there are three ways to use the word dope… two are nouns and one is an adjective and you look at the context to figure out which.
Adj: Tom IS a dope for participating in Taylor’s songwriting schemes in exchange for profile raising and sex.
Noun: Tom should not do dope when he’s working, lest it negatively affect his performance.
Adj: Tom’s audio narration skillz are dope.
Ladies, I need to get down to Selfridges to buy makeup, though in no way related to Tommy boy’s recent singular status: I just like buying makeup. 🙂
I won’t thank you one by one. Allow me to bow down and blow kisses quickly at you all *bowing down and blowing kisses over the Internet*
Thank you! I now know dope is a very complicated word that carries multiple, often contradicting meanings that entirely depend on the context in which it is used. (I probably won’t be using it in the near future.)
Selfridges, makeup! Laters!
@spidey Dope = good came from hip-hop culture of the 80’s, where a lot of words with negative connotations were turned around (dope, freak, etc)
To further confuse the meaning, older folks in rural (US) areas used to call cola / soda pop ‘dope’. And a bag was called a ‘poke’. So, you could go to the store and get a dope in a poke.
Needless to say, it has been years since I’ve heard ‘dope’ used that way. I assume it came from early 1900s, when cola may have had some extra ‘pep’ to it.
But cats! Antiques! Social media drama! Incessant emasculating demands! Why would Hiddleston get tired of that?
Oh, right, he’s not a desperate-to-get-laid 15 year old boy.
“He’s not a desperate-to-get-laid 15 year old boy.”
I think he was in May.
Yep!
So, she really matured him, then! There are others who need her services. Who’s next in her gonadal development course? My vote is for the Eastwood twerp.
Bingo!
This whole meltdown was an accident waiting to happen since the minute they got together. He who sleeps with kids, wakes up in pee. There’s nothing more pathetic than a grown up acting like a teenager and Tom’s seeing it now. And if he still has some dignity left he should stop all the PR leaks on his side. Stay silent, stay classy and let Taytay side bark so that they picture themselves.
This is interesting, because you could think that Taylor, being as manipulative as she is, can’t be as naive and teenagerish in reality and that the outward displays are just that, displays for her teenage fans.
Goonna respectfully disagree with you Spidey 🙂
I think she IS a teenager mentally.
Not just for her fans. Read her lyrics, read her Twitter spats and any social media sh*t slinging she does. I supposes it could be a narcissistic thing as well, but she does seem like a 14 year old going on 16 all the time LOL
Well, it can be both. She being manipulative and childish. Those traits usually go together. And she will keep acting like that since her fanbase is not ageing with her as het music appeals only to the underaged. Just think she has it all blurry on where ends the personna and starts the person. She believes the character she created.
And as for Tom, he was also acting like a teen who’s touched a boob for the first time. The difference is that except for the Marvel fans he was more known as a serious type of actor. And you can’t be taken seriously jobwise if you make an idiot of yourself before the eyes of the media. You can’t sip and blow at once
Many teenagers, and those of a teen mentality, still have a well developed natural cunning despite their deficits in other areas of matured/maturing development.
This most especially applies to parent(now fan)-enabled, entitled special snowflakes (aged 26 going on 13).
You can respectfully disagree with me anytime Chef Grace – we are all only guessing aren’t we?
Sigh. And I thought there would be Tiddlesbabies. But my guess is that once Tom stopped breathing in Taylor’s jet fumes and the sex glow faded during their time apart, he came to his senses and realized that she was a lot more complicated, high-maintenance and perhaps more surface than substance than he initially thought. Nothing like a little distance apart to make one reflect.
I think if Tom didn’t have to work in Aus, this would’ve lasted a bit longer but clearly not very much longer given the abrupt end. Taylor’s got a history of being a fool in love or whatever, but clearly Tom’s not immune to that, either. I don’t think he would’ve done the embarrassing, stupid things he did just for PR. He’s too smart for that, but not too dumb to be swept away for a couple of months.
Agreed. Being in Oz with the rest of the Thor cast has played a role there. Not hard to imagine Chris Hemsworth and Idris grabbing him by the shoulders saying “wake the fuck up, dude”. Once he went out of her sight he got a clearer picture.
Chemboy has a history of doing this.
I cannot imagine just how much goes into being her “boyfriend” she seems exhausting and spoiled.
I don’t have Twitter – can someone please make my day and start the hashtag
#TaylorSwiftistheDemogorgon
Maybe with a meme
😆😆😆
They are both losers, but his jumping on a PR relationship to get to A-list just makes him look pathetic. We knew what she was but he showed his a** and I’m grossed out by him.
I mean it’s hard to change the negative on her, but he has almost no name recognition until Taylor gave him one and it’s sad.
But really the entire thing is gross, and anyone that can’t see that they both suck isn’t paying attention.
Tom did show his ass and he lost credibility and dignity in wanting a very public relationship with an A-lister of questionable reputation. Lie with the dogs, wake up with fleas.
But I still think she’s a worse human than he is. They’re both fame-hungry, insecure people that crave attention, but she is just straight up NASTY to people. Tom doesn’t seem that way, more clueless and naive when it comes to relationships.
I totally agree.
Can I just point out that “it was fun but now I’m bored and ready for new adventures” is exactly what James Bond would do? Still auditioning I see… 😀
^ this LOL
That’s exactly what Michael K wrote on the DL post.
If ‘bored’ is code for’ over your high maintenance ways,’ then sure.
Team Taylor’s “private person” line of hogwash is especially funny now that someone on Twitter dug up an old quote of hers from a Vogue article in 2012, which ONTD picked up. It lists the following as one of her dating “red flags” —
“4. “Also, I can’t deal with someone who’s obsessed with privacy. People kind of care if there are two famous people dating. But no one cares that much. If you care about privacy to the point where we need to dig a tunnel under this restaurant so that we can leave? I can’t do that.”
So, yeah.
Just link these comments to Toms Twitter and Instagram and his PR that way they can take better advice then their own win/win and Taylor too. Someone send her a vibe with Kanyes face she can have a great time.
Fantasy thought. Kimye sitting with Tommy at the Emmy’s. 🎉🎇🎆👍😱😂
With Calvin on the other side?
Hell yeah
Hell, make the line complete by adding Katy Perry to it.
Please no. I do not want the misogynist and his cackling enabler messing up my sight lines.
Don’t worry, if you got those 4 in a row the cameras would never be off them.
I do not want the cameras on them. Seriously, there are no words to express how much Kimye sickens me to the core.
Any member of her TaySquad is my vote for his Emmy date, including Ryan Reynolds.
He needs to move on to dating JLaw. She’s due for a refresh, likes Brit guys, she’s good with being in control (which I suspect gets him off, too), and she’s more in the direction he wants his career to go.
Plus I’d kill to see him do his attention-monkey thing after sharing one of her joints.
Jude Law?
I’ve just had a thought about what Taylor’s next song could be – a cover version of Neil Diamond’s “Love on the Rocks”
Emma Stone? She and Taylor are or were friends, so that could result in girl code issues, and that could really burn Taylor up. Show business is so damn incestuous that Taylor might not actually mind. Emma would at least have more in common with Tom than Taylor.
He doesn’t deserve Emma. Jennifer Lawrence is a better fit to me. The right combo of sex and punishment. I want Emma back with giraffe Spider-Man.
Sigh. Yes, Emma and Andrew were so cute together. Saw them walking outside the theater after his performance in Death of a Salesman. I was so wrecked and exhausted after that show; I didn’t know Garfield had it in him to deliver such a searing and emotional performance. Frankly, I don’t know how the actors kept it up night after night. Everyone was in tears at curtain call.
I would actually dig a JLaw/Hiddles pairing. I think it would be good for both of them. She’d loosen him up a bit and he’d show her a few manners.
Make it happen, kids.
Lawddleston babies!
,
Didn’t she start leaking gossip like this after her breakup with Calvin Harris? Making him sound like he used her and is now laughing at her for being boring and stiff in bed and being clingy wanting marriage and kids. It didn’t stop until he went on his social media to say how she uses the media against her enemies.
I think she’s doing the same to Tom. Spreading leaks that sound like they’re coming from him and making it look like he’s engaging in some mud slinging tabloid war with her when he’s never done anything of the sort. That’s always been Taylor’s MO, not Tom’s. Sure, he wants fame and will date a famous person publicly to raise his profile but I don’t think he’s into playing these tabloid media games. She’s doing the same thing she’s done to all her exes – leaking out a bunch of differing narratives to make herself look like the victim yet again.
Sounds like a reasonable theory to me, given how’s she’s played the game in the past.
Couldn’t agree more. Tom might have made some poor decisions and taken some short cuts in the HW fame game. Maybe he was even willing to take the heat for it ( i.e. 2 fast/2 soon, disappointing tumblr). But I don’t think he will ever drop certain standards of what he considers “appropriate conduct” to others, like seeking revenge or publicly shading anyone.
Sixer, Lilacflowers, MI6, Spidey, Grace, Chef Grace, Kaiser, Browniecakes and the rest of the veranda brunch coctail crew, we will always have the pictures of Uncle Tom in his I heart TS wife beater shirt, burned forehead sliding down the 4th of July Tay nation slide with teenage girls who look like nieces. ALWAYS! and the priceless expression of Ryan Reynolds on the porch of luv. Always!!! Toasts you all 🙂
👏👏👏👏🍸🍺🍻🍹🍷CHEERS!
How do you put those symbols in?
🍷🍾🍸🎉🍰🎂🍭🍨🍩🍵☕️🍹🍸🍷🍻🍺🍶🍾
If somebody doesn’t kindly answer my question soon I am going to SULK!
@spidey for me there’s a little smiley face on my keyboard when I hit it I can choose😀👟🐱🏥
Don’t bother folks, my new best friend SMD has helped me out.
🍸🌞🍨🍹🍷🍺🍻🎂
@ Looty – my phone cost £15 can do texts and calls, hasn’t even got a camera and I’ve never been online with it! Mind you it only costs me £5 a month.
I am trying to block that out 🍸🍷🍹🍺🍻🍾
It’s been a bitchin’ summer. Remember how shocked we were seeing all those love on the rocks pictures in RI back in June? OMG.
My phone will not provide fun emoti thingys but I raise my mug of strawberry margarita to you all.
I feel sorry for whoever he dated after her. They risk being called a slut in her lyrics. This girl can be so malicious.
I’ll volunteer to take the hit if no one else does. Being called a few names by an emotionally stunted narcissist would be a small price to pay to satisfy my curiosity about the Hiddlesconda. I have zero interest in what strangers think of me, and virtually no social media footprint to speak of so I would be the ideal rebound girl.
You are so brave.
I’d say that I would fight you for the honor, @Dara, but I suspect that with a husband and two kids, I’d create more problems for his PR team as his rebound girl than I would help.
That said, we would expect scientific reports from you on the err…….snake that we like……:)
Ok @Abby. I’ll brave it out and take you’re place in line as backup rebound girl.
🙂
If he stays in character as Night Manager I’ll do anything. Anything.
If it is someone really, really classy and beautiful with a good career going for her, then Taylor will be spitting blood. Especially if it happens before Christmas.
I think she is going to have to tread very carefully after this one. So far, she hasn’t changed her post breakup spin but she hasn’t been getting the support/pity she normally gets. The only part of her routine she hasn’t changed is the ritual Instagram purge but that is only because she has nothing about him there to begin with – and I think that was a change in her practice due to him. Do all the paps you want but leave it off social media must have been their initial agreement
Lilac – I think that’s why TnT had the delusion this was a private relationship – because they didn’t post anything. She allowed her friend to put on Instagram the one completely staged porch photo from July 4. She’s such a micromanager; that had to be annoying.
This was pretty hot gossip, so I think outlets are just printing whatever they hear at this point. Only this angle makes him look like a real douche bag.
It seems like they all dump her sooner or later. She must be a crashing bore to be around.
I’d rather hang with Tay’s cats. Where the hell are they?
So I admit that I am not a Taylor fan, nor have I ever been a fan of any of her other boyfriends, so I’m curious how this seems to be playing out compared to the other break ups.
I know her fans tend to buy everything she sells them, and they’ve had a history of going after people who have ‘done Taylor wrong,’ but have the other boyfriends had such a passionate internet fanbase as Hiddles has? Are we going to have Hiddlestans and Swifties fighting in the streets….errr…..Twitter/Tumblr?
Will her usual narrative work with his side having fans about as crazy as hers?
Did that make any sense? Maybe I am just tired.
Actually it’s brought his fandom a little closer together, at least for awhile. It’s one thing to to have a dispute amongst his fans, and it was ugly, but a few things they agree on: Loki is back and better than ever, thank god the swifties are gone from policing their blogs, no personal attacks on TS ( good luck), and yes he’s got some pretty big faults but they will circle the wagons from an outside attack. His fandom is more mature and simply want their man back.
“…but have the other boyfriends had such a passionate internet fanbase as Hiddles has?”
She went out with Harry Styles a few years ago (when One Direction still had Zayn in it)… I’d imagine One Direction fans are just as passionate as Hiddleston’s fans.
I must say that I think they are very much together, but received so much horrible press that it would overshadow his Emmy nomination. Apparently, someone on twitter has a mom who works at a nurse in Australia who met Hiddleston on 8/24 when he visited sick kids. He apparently said, ” I heard you met my girlfriend a few weeks back” , the kid said “who” and Tom took out his phone to show him Swift. So, I am not buying that they broke up at all. But, this should really be sobering for him because the London Times eviscerated him suggesting- how can someone who thinks authenticity in a performance is the most important…take part in such fakery? LOL
@maya Shut up, really, bored with stupid stories
You must be smoking some good kush
That bogus story has been throughly torn apart and debunked. Really do move on.
Give it two weeks Maya, she’ll be with someone new. But that’s not me slutshaming her, it is her dating like a totally normal 20-something.
The Swifties are rocking Lokis last IG post with their silliness he needs to borrow her magical snake deflector wand too to clean that mess off there. If they are together would be the best laugh on all news sites for them.
Nah, Taylor and her PR rely far too much on the goodwill of too many outlets, for placing ‘source’ info and general coverage, to risk their ire by having fed them a fake break-up for it to emerge that they’re still together.
This year, her reputation damaged, especially, she could not rile outlet editors by leaving them with egg on their faces that way. That way lies the mighty wrath of the pen (keyboard).
Even an “oh we couldn’t live without each other so got back together” soft reintroduction would be met with even greater derision by the public, they’d be rumbled by gossip journos/BIs, and her usual mouthpiece editors would turn on her.
If the break-up is a ruse then they have just made an already bad public and media perception of them much worse in weeks or months to come.
I’m not on IG – what are Swifties doing to Tom’s posts?
Here’s an example: all I know is that he used Taylor to became in a spot light.. He even wasn’t in Instagram or in social media before knowing Taylor.. I’m not saying that he’s not famous.. He is of course but no one was speaking about him before.. Even his followers knew him after his relationship with Taylor.. This is the truth.. Don’t deny it ok!? 😒
Wonder if they know Twitter and Facebook are also social media?
@Solanacaea
Or tumblr, YouTube and gossip sites ie CB fabulous.

I Hearted her tweet – that was great.
Jaimie Alexander liked it on Twiter.
Do it, Bette!
Look in the rear-view mirror on this, they never spent any time in London. Many British commentators said early on the Tay-Tay was never in his home or met any of his friends, Didn’t one of his Thor co-stars say that they never met her either (outside of that move night). So just maybe that week in Oz which was also the Kimye exposure was the beginning of the end for Tom.
His home, his friends, his interests, his work, his life were not factors to her. He visibly tried to play “good boyfriend” (Selena concert, meet the families, party with her friends), she made no reciprocal effort.
And even when she went to AU for his job it was on her terms, coastline penthouse suite apartment for two weeks with bodyguards – and the AU press well notified. Meanwhile the rest of the cast was housed together like normal people. Where Tom is now I suspect by the lack of daily jogging pap photos.
It was always her life, her rules (and that idiot went along with it). Lesson learned.
And not only did she have paps following him every time he left, she made a bodyguard go with him, because he might run away or talk to somebody or something.
Not entirely accurate re rest of cast: Chemsworth had a mansion for himself and his family.
This: She got pis… Upset that he was not more vocal defending her in the whole Kanye-Kim… thing. This happend in RI. After that, it died. Rules of the break up were established and now Team TH are following the rules, however Team TS has broken every one of them. Tom is not sorry. Taylor… Well let us just say that she is not happy with the lack of love she is getting this time around, playing her usual game. Team TS is feeding the tabloids stories both as “Friends of TH” and as “Friends of TS”. A Swedish long time lurkers opinion.
Totally agree

OMG that is gold!! I’m tempted to share it but I am trying to be good here.
ahahahahahahah..
That is hilarious! Thanks for sharing that. That’s the laugh I needed today!
The Calvin Harris move for Hiddles here is to invite Katy Perry to be his Emmy date. Oh, how glorious it would be…
Good idea and just imagine Swifty’s face when she sees Tom and Katy… it is just that Orlando Bloom might have to say something about that …
Yeah, he didn’t take it well when his ex wife novelty-boinked Bieber…
I noticed Taika Watiti’s (the director for Thor Ragnarok) movie Hunt for the Wilderpeople got five stars in Empire magazine. His tweets are priceless.
I loved that film!
Swifty is affected by the split. It shows around her eyes: stress and sadness, no sparkle and no glow.
Tom, honestly, let Swifty play the press as most of the world knows what she is like anyway. She is still a spoilt sulky Teenie with a mean streak. Don’t feed any info to the press as that is Swifty’s teenie way of getting the upper hand. Everybody with half a brain knows that Swifty wanted more publicity because being the gf of a serious actor got her some kind of respect. She was no longer the teenie superstar but an adult grown-up celebrity dating another celebrity.
I don’t think anybody believes that Swifty didn’t get dumped as feeding the media about your break up and claiming the upper hand is usually the way to defend one’s ego.
I’m old, I’m crabby and I’m stating her “relationships” are not real. They are all BS for PR.
Hello, Shelley, I, too, am old and becoming more and more irritable with each passing day.
Hello, Celebitchy, will y’all now permit me to make a post? If not, I will cry, because
I’ve sat here all the live long day Eating Crow, feather by feather and beak by feet so
I do need some support if y’all do not mind.
Long story short, yes, I did keep up with what Celebitchy had to say about Taylor,
but my fall from all intelligence and thought process, has been due to TH. He’s so adorable
and that’s because he looks like my (old) husband with the red hair and the accent
thus I felt that I really had to defend the couple.
Why? Why would I,as it all turns out,defend a narcissistic, young but talented woman
who has long, lovely legs and new bosoms who was supposedly hitched up with
a handsome, young, talented man who also has long legs?????? Why? I sat here last
week and made a stupid plea post for their “young love” and Celebitchy promptly
threw my anguished words to the four winds. No matter, y’all know the truth and
that truth has finally set me free from aged dreams of young love (no young love
with that couple!) and Hollywood/Celebrity bearding trophies.
My final survey sees that he is more truth than she is and that she will probably never
know true love. I’ll never listen to her music again. Not that she or anyone else gives
a flying flip, but at least I now know that if I want to see love, I must turn to my
husband and kiss him for all else re Celebrityhood is trash.
Thank y’all for an education that is worth the pain.
I feel the same way, and you should write an opera.
Hang in there. It’s been hard on all of us no matter which side we’re cheering, crying, or laughing on.
I agree with Looty. You should write a daily/weekly post in sonnet form or save it all up for an operatic recap of the months follies.
Ah I see the Dugger-esqe spaghetti bangs are back on her head. I wouldn’t be surprised if Tommy was bored. I mean this is the girl who decorated her apt ala Alice in Wonderland.
Spidey, do you have the section for happy face emoji’s when you text or email? I have a Galaxy cell phone so in that section if I keep scrolling can add any of those emojis. For example 😎 post gym face for swifty, 🙈🙉🙊her followers, my 👒 off to all of the creative posters here! For this evening of snark might I suggest 🎂🍸🍺🍻🍷🍹🍕. Also I have found Loki costumes for build a 🐻. Disappointed no 💍or 🌠 or 🔔🎠🏁❤💙💚 from me!
@ SMD Thanks for the reply – you may regret it 😈
😈🍏🍩🍷🍸🍹🍺🎂
I’m using a pc but found them in the add a symbol bit of my emails
So what if SHE is the committment-phobe and it’s actually HER 3 month timeline? Than just blame the boys, and voila…next high profile boytoy please!!!
You know who has Tom’s career right now – Chris Pine. Chris’ last 7 projects in a row are Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes (going back to 2014) . He just won the GQ International Man of the Year. Barbra Streisand asked him to sing a duet with her on her Encore: Movie Partners album and he is the face of Armani Code. Yet to come, he is Steve Trevor for Wonder Woman out in June 2017. Now that’s the woman whose shadow you want to be in.
I was thinks the same thing about Chris a few weeks ago when I saw Hell and High Water. I
forgot how talented he is and am so glad he’s starting to get good roles. Tom should take note.
And he is only 6 months older than Tom. If he were a Brit he’d be on Broccoli’s list. He is good, I also saw Hell and High Water – but I have to say the Oscar goes to Jeff Bridges in that one.
Chris is someone I’d only seen in the ST films until I saw HHW. He is very talented and does seem to be in a good place right now, career-wise.
He’s not hard to look at either.
Hell and High Water is a good film. One of the best I have seen this year.
Tom is obviously well behind Chris but we must remember he has been making films since 2003. Tom did uni and RADA which took him to 24 so he was already behind Chris. Though I doubt he will catch him up.
I like Chris well enough because he’s smart, talented and good humored guy. Still, it’s easy for him because first he’s American, and second he’s got the basic universal, athletic hero guy image/physicality/personality which I’ve come to find very, very, very boring. I’d have to say it actually keeps me away from seeing many movies because it’s always the same ‘type’ lead character with just slightly different variations. I do end up seeing some of these big budget films when they come to cable or premium channels because some of them are good despite the formulaic characterization. But I’m not usually in any rush to see them before that unless something else interests me more.
You’re right. He would love to have Pine’s career. Funny how one of the reasons I like Tom is cause he’s Not the typical, “every man” actor. Yet, that’s what he’s been trying to make himself into, the HW ‘every man’ hero.
Chris’ voice in that duet with Barbra was surprisingly good too. Very Sinatraesque. Of course I heard him sing in Into the Woods but it wasn’t that memorable because I’d forgotten his voice. I guess he found material that fits his style of singing.
His dad is Robert Pine – the Captain on CHIPS many years ago for those of you who are old enough to remember!
Is it my imagination or does Tom already look younger on his latest tweet?
Maybe it’s just what he was wearing – was it the grey shoes, the black shorts, the blue shirt?
Haha, Navy sweater, dark trousers, couldn’t see the shoes.
And cheer up folks, it could be worse, he could have taken the Ben Hur job!
Initially I just wanted everybody to just Leave
Swifty A-LLLOOOOONE. But surely somebody at Team Tay-Tay has got to realize they are insulting our intelligence by this constant feed of excruciating minutiae of sunshine lollipops and rainbows. Someone would do well to advise her that discretion would be the best route during courtship, and her silence would look even better when if a dalliances goes south. But then her PR peeps would be out of work and might have to go back to being ninth grade alternate cheerleaders or even — heaven forbid — members of the pep squad.
Hope Tom took a SnapChat of the calls he’s had with Taylor since he returned to AU. He may need ’em.
@Cranberry. That’s the point isn’t it? Tom will never be a Chris Pine, Mat Damon, etc, yet that does seem to be the roles he ultimately wants. He’s not built for it and frankly is too polished and urban. The trailers I’ve seen for SI show a well groomed man who moves like a dancer; sorry but that’s what I see. ISTL is the only role he’s played against type, and he was good. However I don’t think that’s he wants. It’s going to be interesting to see what he ends up being successful with.
Just saw your comment. Yeah, he might still be a little too polished for a military commando type, even a British one. He has said with acting he wants to see outside his own experience what it’s like to be someone else with completely different life and circumstances. At RADA they teach to not just play to your strengths but seek out and exercise your weaker, less comfortable abilities. This, and that he wants to give himself more appeal to be considered for leading roles in HW movies and not villain roles that Britishers are usually type cast as.
Still, fast and loose, down in the dirt characters are not his strong points because of his adherence to British upper class social conduct that’s deeply ingrained in him, and also he can be too controlling and precise in his acting. He needs to learn how to really loosen up. He may need to be drastic and go full method, move to US and do intensive work with US acting coaches to break through his cultural conditioning.
Side note: I watched The Big Chill again last night, and it occurred to me that Kevin Kline is a good example of the actor type he fits well as, and who’s had a good career as a leading man. Of course he’d have to be the British crossover version of Kline.
Getting to this really late, but have to stick my oar in: I’m a vet, with two trips to the sandbox. I’ve trained at Ft. Bragg with our US SF types. And when I saw the SI footage and pics, what I noticed was that Hiddleston moved better (as in, how he transferred his body weight, how he held his weapon, how he paid attention to his surroundings) than anyone else in the lot. He looked trained and experienced. Pretty impressive for someone who presumably hasn’t spent months in actual training, at the very least. So, he has plenty of flaws–but not pulling off the soldier boy is NOT one of them.
So underwhelmed, y’all promised 🐍 but 🎩 y’all did NOT deliver! We demand❤, 🎀🎁🎂🎈🎉🎡🎢🎠🎪🎶🐶🐱🐑🍦🍭🌈🌙🌞💍. Instead we got manipulating bogus crap 😢, 💣🎬🐜🌵☀🌚🔚
👀 Have a few large 🍷🍷🍷
I don’t know about “bored”, but “tired of her” sounds about right.
See Lawrence Fox couldn’t resist having a dig!
Laurence Fox never resists… He’s hilarious …

And a little jealous methinks?
Final analysis — This would make a great woe-mantic comedy. Serious, but thirsty, thespian gets the chance to go high profile with a private plane, around the world summer fling with a singer followed by a junior high fandom. What could go wrong?
