Tom Hiddleston & Taylor are already talking about Tiddlebabies, Tiddlematrimony

FFN_VAH_Swift_Taylor_070616_52114340

As I mentioned at the end of Sunday’s post, Tom Hiddleston and Taylor Swift had a “date night” in Australia this weekend. They went out to eat at Gemelli, an Italian restaurant in Broadbeach. While there are many details of the date night, unfortunately none of those details involve Tiddles feeding each other pasta and meatballs, Lady and the Tramp-style, nor do the details involve fudge and swan pastries. According to Us Weekly, “Tom looked smitten with her as they talked softly and she giggled a lot” and Taylor’s skin looked “a little more sun-kissed than usual.” Us Weekly’s eyewitness went on in barf-inducing detail: “They were beaming as they gave warm smiles to onlookers, like any new couple who just can’t hide their feelings for each other.”

People Magazine’s eyewitnesses also noted that Taylor told restaurant staffers that Italian food is her favorite and she was super-excited to try Gemelli’s food. Tiddles spent “several hours at dinner before returning to their hotel in a chauffeured car.” People Mag also notes that Tom and Taylor have been exceedingly polite to their fans, many of whom have gathered outside the hotel. Here are some photos of their date night:

So, all is well in Tiddlesville. In fact, things are going so well in their nearly month-old relationship that Taylor is already thinking about Tiddlebabies and Tiddlematrimony.

Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston’s relationship appears to be moving forward even faster than originally thought. Less than a month after they made their romance public, the 26-year-old pop star sees the 35-year-old Thor actor as husband material and the two have also talked about their desire to have kids one day, a source told E! News exclusively Sunday.

“This is the kind of a man she would want to marry,” the source said. “She has said he would make a great dad. They have talked about what they want in the future and kids are something that they would both like down the line. They have very real and serious conversations about life.”

Swift, the source added, likes Hiddleston’s “English ways…She has told me that she loves his accent and thinks he is so sexy. He acts very English. He is also a big tea drinker.”

Another source told E! News Swift “loves traveling with Tom,” who “makes her feel so safe…They are the real deal. They laugh and travel well together. These past few weeks, they have learned many things about each other…she is getting very attached. Tom gives Tay more attention than any other man she has ever been with. She likes his maturity. He…is a very romantic and charming gentleman.”

An insider had told E! News after Swift’s Fourth of July party the singer’s “squad” of female friends “all really like Tom and like how he treats Taylor” and that while “things are moving fast between them,” her friends are not worried “because they never have seen her this happy.”

“Tay can’t stop talking about Tom,” the second source told E! News Sunday. “It’s an ongoing conversation with the girls on how happy she is. Tay has mentioned numerous times how ‘in love’ with each other they are.”

[From E! News]

Of course she loves his “English ways.” He’s like the poster boy for a certain kind of posh Englishman, almost as if he was invented by Richard Curtis and Emma Thompson (although I bet Emma would love to tell Tom to take a seat right now). I love this though: “He acts very English. He is also a big tea drinker.” But what kind of tea, Tiddles? Anyway, I find it interesting that Team Swifty is leaking like a sieve. We’re getting multiple stories every week about how SHE loves him, how she’s impressed with him, how she can’t stop talking about him. Which is fine – that’s her brand. The “Tiddles” brand benefits her much more than him. But what is Tom getting out of it?

    Funny how 2 days after having her rep deny that she had a boob job, she comes out with a dress with the deepest V-neckline that makes the work even more obvious.

    • lou says:

      I know, right?! How can anyone think those are natural??

    • Kaye says:

      Not saying she did or didn’t, but one question – doesn’t implant surgery have a recovery time? When has she been out of the public eye long enough? Hasn’t she been swimming and cavorting, etc.?

      • Isa says:

        One of my friends had it done and was back at work within a week on light duty, even with complications.

      • Christin says:

        She was wearing higher necklines, which could have concealed it for at least a couple of weeks.

        I thought it was a lifting, padded bra until seeing the dress photos.

      • Bishg says:

        Well, Taylor has been under the spotlight A LOT lately, but she went actually MIA for a while before the whole Tiddly gate exploded. On Instagram, there is a gap from June 5th to June 18th. And then another one until July the 5th. I remember thinking at the time (before Tiddy-bear) that she had been laying low, which I considered smart and appreciable.. Oh, was I wrong..

      • Becky says:

        Kaye, I think she had them done straight after the Met Gala, she also let herself gain weight to distract from it. Didn’t really work (yes I think she’s that calculating).

      • Bishg says:

        @Becky
        I went back to see the older posts about Swifty and I think you are right.
        On May 25th she was spotted coming out of the gym with a crossed-neckline top and her breasts look definitely bigger than usual.
        Before that,her latest appearance in public was on May 10th at the BMI Pop awards. So it can absolutely be possible that the procedure took place during that period (mid to late May).
        Ok, I should feel a bit pervy for obsessing about someone else’s boobs but I am in full Sherlock mode right now!

      • Tiffany :) says:

        You can be back to work, but you have to wear a strong sports-bra like apparatus for a while. So you can do things, but wearing low necklines might not be possible for a month or so. At least that’s the way it was when my boss had hers done.

    • Chetta B. says:

      She had the work done many, many months ago. Back last year.

    • twilly says:

      That dress didn’t suit her at all. On the way back to the hotel it looked like her fake boob was going to fall out. Guess she’s not used to using dressmaker’s tape. Nice of her bodyguard to hold her sweater all the way out of the restaurant. Could these two get any more ridiculous?

    • TreadStyle says:

      Yesssss, this! Deny the boob job then wear clothing that makes it undeniable that you have indeed had one. I guess most of her fans believe her and that’s all that matters!

    • lunchcoma says:

      I’m not that otherwise inclined to defend her, but that’s not a deep neckline, and no boobage is visible. Everything in that pic is sternum and collarbone – which is also fine.

      • Poky says:

        No, they’re not talking about the outfit in the pics above. Not the blue top and grey skirt. Taylor was seen a day or so later wearing a long dress, with a deep plunging neckline. That is the outfit that everyone is talking about, which showed lots of cleavage.

    • amilu says:

      Whoa. And here I was just thinking that she gained weight around her earlier implants, but that she didn’t actually go in for an upgrade/remodel. In that dress it’s obvious that she’s sporting a bigger, heavier pair.

      Taylor, Taylor, Taylor…you look ridiculous when you issue denials about this obvious plastic surgery. Be honest or say “NO COMMENT.” Your adoring fans will still adore you.

  2. lilacflowers says:

    Because being English is now a personality trait!

    Somebody should tell Taylor that Tom usually self-identifies as British. Or maybe she should stop the ongoing communication to friends and sources long enough to talk to him.

    • frisbee says:

      Somebody needs to tell her his Dad is a Scot – um I think – god I need a cup of tea though…

      • lilacflowers says:

        Whenever he talks about his father, he does bring that up. She either hasn’t been listening or they have not discussed his father.

        Tea for every one. Wondering if Taylor knows how to make tea. That could be a breaking point.

      • frisbee says:

        They probably can’t discuss his Dad because as a sensible Scot he is currently hiding under the biggest rock he can find until this all blows over – or up…

      • Gingerly says:

        @ lilacflower, He politely corrected Peter Treverse when the latter said “English” instead of “British,” saying he himself is half Scottish.

      • lilacflowers says:

        Yes, Gingerly, I know. He has pretty much always done that. He needs to correct Taylor and her sources.

    • Sixer says:

      This is an aspect of VERY BRITISH PROBLEMS. My Welsh family knows it well.

      • lilacflowers says:

        A very British problem indeed that one would expect would come up when discussing having babies with a Britisher.

      • Sixer says:

        It is also an aspect of VERY AMERICAN PROBLEMS, I guess. English is not a synonym of British. In the wake of Brexit and a small but obnoxious English nationalist element, also not the best error in a timely sense.

      • lilacflowers says:

        People in the US also don’t consider “American” to include Canadians or Mexicans or Brazilians or Peruvians. We’ve got a lot of problems.

      • Sixer says:

        Silly USans! Have you seen @soverybritish?

      • lilacflowers says:

        Yes, I have.

    • K.C. says:

      I’m amused by the comment that she “loves his accent.” Yes dear, many people love his accent. Is that worth noting in an article? Ha. And the tea-drinker bit…oh my. Yes, definitely marry a guy if he’s a bit tea-drinker. That just seals the deal.

      I have to think these sources are made up just by the sheer stupidity. I’d hope her PR people would come up with something better than this, right? I have trouble taking E! seriously about pretty much everything.

      • Alex says:

        Lol her people send in those quotes…you have years of previous relationship rollout as evidence supporting the fact

      • K.C. says:

        If that’s the case, she needs to hire people who write better quotes.

      • Crox says:

        I’m with K.C. I doubt these quotes a real. Especially if they’re from E!
        While some in the past and now might be from her or his team, I doubt all are, because they are so obviously click bait titles with no actual content. All celebrities have these “sources close to” around them and they usually turn out to be nothing more than a talk for a day. They’re designed to fuel the outrage. Hardly from her side.

    • Wren says:

      Of course it is! And who cares about proper terminology? It’s not like Taylor’s fans would know the difference anyway, or care very much if they did. Unfortunately for a lot of Americans, “English” and “British” are very interchangeable and the distinction of “Scottish” is completely unimportant.

      He drinks tea, his accent is adorable, and he’s just the perfect gentleman! Taylor’s branding him the exact way she brands herself. Broad generalities, bland stereotypes, and nothing unexpected or offensive.

    • Solanaceae (Nighty) says:

      @Lilac, thank for your compliments yesterday (about the Portuguese winning in several sports). I’mm thanking here, in case you don’t see yesterday’s post… <3

      About these two… Babies and marriage already? Shouldn't they get to know each other better? He's a guy, not a Prince Charming, but ok.. it's their life. I do wonder what he actually thinks on all these "sources" and if he really wants marriage and kids right away…

      • lilacflowers says:

        You’re most welcome! I’m happy Portugal won and I’m happy for all the team’s supporters.

        I tend to take such reports from sites like E!, People, and the other gossip sites with a huge bucket of salt. They’re in the business to generate revenue from ads and the more clicks they get, the more ad revenues they get. I doubt he would approve of a source describing him as only English, thus wiping out one of his parents.

    • Sarah says:

      It’s like reading about a 7th grade romance! So in love!! Feels so safe!!!! So English!!!!

      It’s crazy. You don’t even know a person in a month! It’s not love, it’s infatuation, and if they are still going hot and heavy in 6 months, then, maybe, it’s love. But this love, love, love is just silly.

  3. boredblond says:

    Ah, more conspicuous coupling…I must’ve missed their ‘together’ nickname. ..is it Tatom?

    • browniecakes says:

      I like TnT. Short and says it.

    • Luca76 says:

      I prefer Hiddleswift

      • Justjj says:

        +1 Hiddleswift! It sounds like that one’s from the Harry Potter sorting hat which I think is too appropriate for this pair. 10 points for Hiddleswift! Her fake bewbs are totally bigger plus the overnight hair and lipstick transformation. They looked wonky in the Bad Blood video. That’s another 25 points to Hiddleswift!

    • Lucrezia says:

      I vote for Tay-To. Then, when something mildly bad happens (e.g., a world-wide shortage on pastry swans), we can use Po’ Tay-To.

      To be completely honest, I’m a little disappointed they’ve both tanned instead of getting sunburn. They were both so pale before the Independence Day bash, I was really hoping for “Po’ Tay-To Skins’ Fried” headlines.

      I’m also hoping for an unlucky night at the casino: “Po’ Tay-To lose chips”. Or perhaps a stolen handbag: “Po’ Tay-To keep eyes peeled (looking for criminal)”.

      I could do this for hours.

    • Dlo says:

      I like Tiddles because if they have babies I love the name Tiddle Tots

  4. Smokey says:

    I know some people say she’s like an old cat lady in a young womans body but I get more of a very needy 13 year old with oodles of money and a goid professional team.

    • Fa says:

      They said she has big entourage that made all the decision for her it shows she’s been treated like a 13 years old

  5. HH says:

    Good. Why slow down now? Also, she had work done. Cmon, girl. We have eyes.

  6. Birdix says:

    This level of crazy is not sustainable, even for Swifty.

    • LeAnn Stinks says:

      This whole coupling has now officially entered vomitville. They are both too old, especially Hiddleston, to be acting this obvious, and immature.

      Reminds of SkeezAnn Rimes, and all of the pictures she posts trying to constantly prove how much in love she, and her paid- for-husband, are, please. When you have to flaunt something that much, it is usually is not real.

  7. Maria says:

    “He is also a big tea drinker”
    that seems be the defintion of being english in the eyes of E!.

    the babies? BS! Taylor does not want to have children, she said so herself. even if she didnt rule it out why would she take time of her career now?

    • Meryl says:

      You say this on every post. Have you considered that she’s changed her mind? Taylor tends to say a lot of things is the press than she does a complete 180 on quickly down the line. Given her personality, I imagine she will have children. Having a family will be a big part of her brand as she ages. Once she can’t be a top tier pop star anymore, she’ll transition the way of Jessica Alba.

      • Maria says:

        i mention it in every post because the pregnancy comes up in every post.
        whats more to be believed the words right out of her mouth? while saying things that are still not popular? ( a woman who does not want to have children)
        one of the reasons was her fame and that hasnt exactly calmed down.
        yes taylor would be someone who would call an album lullaby and give us pretentious advice but i still dont think she will have children.
        she is not from a generation where that is a priority.

      • Meryl says:

        Maria – she’s also said multiply times that she would never be in a serious relationship again. Then she went back to back. If we were talking about a different celeb about not wanting kids, I’d give it more weight. But since we’re specifically talking about Taylor, I don’t buy it. She wants the marriage, kids, family – all of it and she’s always been that way. She just played the victim angle in the press for a couple years about how she was hounded so much that those things weren’t realistic for her. Which is fundamentally untrue. So many celebs on her fame level have families. Look at Brange. Taylor chooses to create the media circus around herself. It’s her favorite thing about being famous.

      • Lucy says:

        I never believe anything celebs say in interviews.

      • Bonzo says:

        Lucy, a smart rule to live by. Don’t believe their words, only their actions.

        I doubt any of these quoted sources are real. It’s good for clicks and selling rags though.

      • Tiffany :) says:

        You have to admit…the “baby” crap is most likely something that tabloids make up about Taylor because it is so easy to assume that it is true. MOST of what is in tabloids is looking at a situation and assuming the obvious, and writing it like its fact.

        When Calvin Harris said she was a total clinger and all about dem babies and marriage, that was pretty quickly thrown out for a narrative about her being half out of the relationship weeks before it ended. You can’t really have both (a woman seeing you has her husband and sire of her kids, AND the fool that she is trying to get rid of).

    • Goats on the Roof says:

      IIRC, Taylor made those comments when she was in the middle of her “feminist,” squad, girl power phase. She may have thought saying she didn’t want children suited her persona at the time. This thing she is doing with Tom, though? It’s a complete 180 from who she claimed to be (publicly, at least) during 1989 promotion. Who are you to say she doesn’t want children? She contradicts herself ALL THE TIME.

    • epiphany says:

      For crying out loud, she’s 26 years old! You don’t think she could change her mind about wanting kids – and a thousand other things – as she goes through life? Besides, Swift exhibits the emotional maturity of a prepubescent girl; how could you hold her to any life decision when she’s probably scribbling “T + T” in the restroom stalls of four star restaurants throughout Australia?

      • MoochieMom says:

        At 26/27 I didn’t want kids. I was living life. At 31, I wanted a baby NOW.
        ETA: my husband and I are also the same age – 7 months.

      • Nicole says:

        Shoot, I’m 32 and keep waiting for the kid wanting part to come out, but it is taking its precious time. Which I don’t have much of, because doc wants me to have a hysterectomy in the next 2 years.

  8. Carol says:

    Good lord, these gossip magazines sound like awful romance novels. Makes me want to barf. I honestly couldn’t care less about this coupling, I hope they are very happy together. I am more affected by Taylor’s recent matronly appearance and that wretched Louis Vuitton bag she is carrying. Blah.

    • lisa2 says:

      I like that bag actually.. LOL.. (not going to hide away)

      I think she is dressing “older” because he is older. He is seen more as a Man than boy. So she is trying to look more mature.. Instead of acting more mature.

    • Mrs. Welen-Melon says:

      Romance novel, absolutely! Especially if this is a fauxmance.

      Usually, it’s a sham marriage because of a weird stipulation in a will or to attend a high school reunion with a hunky date. In this case, it’s for a TS video. Sham hanky panky for the paparazzi becomes unresolved desire for both parties. Each PDA becomes more agonizingly tantalizing than the last! True love is shyly revealed as the clock strikes midnight on their fauxmance agreement.

      If only Hiddleston had been a duke, though. Oh, well.

    • daisie-b says:

      Louis Vuitton dressed her for the Met Gala and the pre-party at Wintour”s home. Most likely, part of that arrangement was that she carry an LV bag for a specified period of time. Generally she carries a different bag with every outfit. I think that Wintour was a matchmaker and she was spot on. It wouldn’t surprise me if Wintour arranged a meeting long before May. He spent weeks in Nashville preparing for the Hank Williams biopic. He said in an interview that Shake It Off had just been released. They could have crossed paths.

      • Dara says:

        Was Taylor even in Nashville when Tom was? This was way back in Sept/Oct 2014. I’m assuming if her album/single had just been released she was busy criss-crossing the globe (or at least the US) making promotional appearances. Or does pop music promotion not work the same way film promotion does?

      • lilacflowers says:

        Several members of the Crowell family have written articles about how he only left the house to go for his morning runs during that month and he had very little contact with anyone but them.

        And, according to other conspiracy theorist here, he was supposedly secretly hooking up with the engaged Elizabeth Olsen at the time.

        How many secret affairs with otherwise involved women was he carrying on during the time he was working long hours to train himself to sing and play the guitar like Hank Williams?

      • Annetommy says:

        Yes and a fat lot of good it did him lilac. I think they should make a romantic feature film of the Tiddles saga. I’m just working on the title and casting.

      • lilacflowers says:

        @Annetommy, who will play Anna Wintour? Or Idris? Who will play Idris, who was there at the start? And we must not leave out Frisky and Tabby. And we must have an actor who can capture the right blend of petty petulance as Eppie Calvin Nuke LaLouche Harris.

      • Annetommy says:

        I think Idris should play himself…Wintour is all helmet hair and sunglasses and is thin…maybe Kristen Scott Thomas? That’s as far as I’ve got…

  9. Crox says:

    “But what is Tom getting out of it?”

    Lots of sex with a pretty lady?

    “Sources” say lots of things always about all celebrities … Have these sources ever not been staff of the magazine printing the story?

    • Naya says:

      Taylor is so sexless, I assume her idea of “lots of sex” is once a fortnight for fifteen minutes.

      But yeah Tom is the winner here. He looooves all of this new attention and he is probably hoping he can leverage it into a post Marvel career. This is his do or die move.

      • LadyLoo says:

        She’s completely asexual. She tried her best to be hot and sexy while dating CH and the result was that she looked like a manufactured, bargain binned, plastic Debbie Harry doll…that was still asexual.

        At least she gave up on that image and slid comfortably back into being the circa 2004 soccer mom she is.

      • Noname says:

        I doubt she’s sexless or asexual…Judging by how smug he’s looking.. he’s getting something more than attention.

        Just because you don’t find her attractive doesn’t mean she’s unattractive.

      • shelly says:

        I think he is quite asexual actually, so they would be quite a good fit for each other. No doubt some people find them hot as balls, just as others find them a bit dull.
        She has a lovely figure though I have to say, fake knockers or no fake knockers she looks nice and what I wouldn’t give to have her legs.

        But if they are banging each others brains out, or playing scrabble every night, its all good.

        Although I can imagine him saying ‘Is it ok if I just, erm you know, put it there, oops sorry…Erm thanks ahhhh’
        And I’m not talking about scrabble.

      • Luca76 says:

        You really can’t tell who is sexless and who isn’t by looking at a gossip story. Speaking from my own experience some of the best lovers are totally mild mannered and not conventially ‘hot’ and some of the worst are the guys that are drop dead gorgeous. There’s also a little thing called chemistry. Personally I think they are both awkward dorky and sort of perfect for eachother. I don’t necessarily want to know all the details of their sex life or lack thereof but I think it’s sort of arrogant to decide from behind a computer you know for a fact how long or how good their sex is.

      • Tiffany :) says:

        From my perspective, calling someone sexless or asexual is just so cruel. It is dehumanizing.

        Taylor can be irritating for sure, but I always feel kind of sorry for her when people get so mean.

      • Annetommy says:

        I agree Luca and Tiffany. I don’t particularly want to speculate about their sex life. But what’s sexual? The Kardashian / Jenner ladies? Blac Chynna? Miley Cyrus with a leotard cut up to her earlobes? Fake massive threepennies and a giant backside that make for a parody woman? Tom and Taylor are both very attractive, anything else is just speculation.

    • Crox says:

      I don’t know about Taylor being sexless (I don’t see her that way, but to each his/her own), but proverbially men do not complain because of the 15 minutes (they will gladly take only 5, it’s the women who complain then). 😀

    • Goats on the Roof says:

      Tom could find lots of non-famous women to roll in the hay with if that was his intent. He’s definitely after the career boost.

      • Crox says:

        Sure he could have, but I doubt he’s not enjoying the benefit of dating a pretty and quite desirable lady as well (people here might not like her looks, but many do, also, a stalker was arrested near her house about a week ago, so some people definitely do fancy her). Also, she fits his type: boobs (possibly a new pair!).

      • Crumpet says:

        Or just maybe he really likes her.

      • Noname says:

        @Goats on the Roof- He could actually like her.

    • sauvage says:

      Lots of sex with a pretty lady and a sun-burn.

    • Evie says:

      :Please, does anyone believe these saccharine quotes coming from her camp?

      As for Tom, he’s getting plenty out of the deal.

      Tom is getting access to all of the accoutrements that go along with Taylor’s very wealthy life style and $250Million fortune: private jets, limos, bodyguards, having access to her five or six mansions etc. In other words living the Lifestyle of the VERY, VERY Rich and Famous. Tommy’s estimated $20 million worth is chump change compared to Swifty! And his “upscale” house in North London is a closet compared to her mansions.
      PLUS: his profile has gone way up! Tommy-Anne is now a full blown “fame-trollop” and he’s reveling in the attention. He’s also (laughably) getting her fanbase of squeeing 10 year olds and to them, I’m sure he looks like their Dads, LOL! In a few months though, he may tire of being referred to as Taylor Swift’s boy friend.”

      Tommy-Anne is now a bird in a very gilded cage, but a cage nonetheless.

      • LadyLoo says:

        Evie, I’m going to need a copyright symbol next to ‘fame-trollop,’ please!! 😉

      • Crox says:

        I actually don’t believe they are coming from her camp at all. I think the magazine is just making thing up at this point because they’re hot news for klicking and nothing really worth reporting happened with them today.

      • Evie says:

        @LadyLoo: Absolutely, you get all the credit for copyrighting the phrase “fame-trollop” 🙂 Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so of course, I borrowed it, LOL!

        I have no trouble believing that these two are attracted to each other and both are utilizing each other for a variety of reasons and each party appears to be happy and getting what they want, at present. Again, if this was JUST personal attraction, and Taylor Swift did not have incredible fame and a $250Million fortune, Tommy-Anne would have kept her hidden like he did with JArthy and Lizzie Olsen — in fact every other woman since his last public GF, Susannah Fielding — because he wanted to keep the appearance of his single status. Excuse me, he kept his private life “private” because some things must remain sacred. His thirst for fame & fortune at this point is unquenchable.

        As for Tay-Tay, she has nothing on her schedule ’til Fall. She can’t stand to be out of the limelight for more than a nanosecond. So what was she going to do for the summer after her Squad departed for the Fourth of July festivities to keep her name and face in front of the public?

        Can’t wait to see how she spends her free time while Tommy-Anne is on the set 12 to 14 hours a day transforming into Loki for the next 2 -3 months. Maybe she’ll serenade the 10 year old fans from the penthouse balcony or give a free concert in the park.
        Marvel’s Makeup Dept. has its work cut out for them, slathering spackle all over his sunburned face to transform him into .

        I’ll give Taylor points though for having lovely legs and great taste in bodyguards.

    • LadyLoo says:

      I love how everyone’s all: he’s getting lots of sex ‘with a pretty lady.’

      A ‘pretty lady.’ Yep that’s about all you can say for her looks and level of sexiness. What, no ‘he’s getting lots of sex with a hot, sensual, devastatingly beautiful woman?’

      Enjoy your asexual pretty lady, Thomas! Oh, and all the money, attention, PR and ridicule.

      • Crox says:

        I said “a pretty lady” because *I* think she’s a pretty lady. I would say the same for Lupita and I think many find her sexy, just not me. I’m also sure many find Beyonce pretty or sexy but I do neither, so in her case I’d say a nice lady or something.

        It is irrelevant what I think of Taylor, tho, I’m not sleeping with her. My point is that I sincerely doubt this part of the relationship is making him suffer. He’ll be fine.

  10. Southparketeer says:

    Hate her hair. That’s all.

  11. Mia V. says:

    This love is just like a Jane Austen book.

    • frisbee says:

      If this is Austin level subtle sarcasm then well done that woman – hats off to you. Jane Austin was a brilliant writer, funny, dry and wise. These two are a pair of teenagers more suited to that woman who wrote the ‘Twilight Books’ – that I can’t be bothered to go and look up since I didn’t read them and have never seen any of the films – one of my few achievements.

    • Crox says:

      But is it Darcy + Elizabeth, Bingley + Jane, Mr. Collins + Charlotte or Wickam + Lydia?
      (Gender roles can be reversed.)

      • Emma33 says:

        They’re both Lydia.

      • Crox says:

        Interesting thought. I always found Lydia (while silly, naive and rebellious in a bad sort of way) genuinely in love – even if for the wrong reasons – with Wickam. But yea, I can see them like that, with all the rushed weird shenanigans.

        To me, with all speculations of this being created on purpose, they are more like Collins and Charlotte. She was the calculating one, swallowing her pride to gain a good life. He was mostly unliked, but was definitely a provider.

      • kaiko says:

        Maybe this is more shades of Sense and Sensibility? TH is the coldly grasping Willoughby wooing Miss Gray/Swift to up his profile, aka cash supply, with the blessings of his image conscious “upper crust” family? No sign of a Marianne/non famous gf beforehand, but I get the feeling the whole Hidds family are loving the fame/millions. Why else the stroll with TS? They all reek of desperation.

      • LinaLamont says:

        @kaiko

        Agree

      • Evie says:

        @Kaiko: In fairness, it was NOT the entire Hiddleston clan that bought into the Pap Walk Beach Love Stroll.
        Let’s give Mr. Hiddleston, Sr. — a self-made multimillionaire credit for staying away and not participating in the spectacle. Perhaps Tommy-Anne didn’t invite his father because he didn’t think he’d be a good enough actor to pull it off, LOL! Also, I didn’t see his younger sister Emma in any of the photos, although her new husband Jack was pictured walking alone with Hiddles. His older sister Sarah, the journalist wisely walked 5 feet behind them

  12. Tara says:

    She is glowing in those new Daily Male pictures…so is he kinda. I don’t know how anyone can think this isn’t real.

    • shelly says:

      I think the glow about them looks a bit like a radioactive fake tan. He in particular seems to have got quite bronzed quite quickly considering how much time they’ve spent on planes lately.
      Maybe he saw the 4th of July photo’s and realised how pasty he looked.

      • Tara says:

        Could be. To me she looks like a woman having the best sex of her life. If there’s a bronzer that gives you that look I don’t know about it.

      • K.C. says:

        @Tara her hair is always in a slight state of disarray now, and I thought she was always pretty prim and proper before. So I tend to agree with you that the sex is good.

      • Noname says:

        @Tara & KC- I am with you guys on this. They both have that look like they have been going at it non stop since Rhode Island or before lol.

    • frisbee says:

      It doesn’t matter if it’s real or not. They’re in a classic Catch 22. Nobody believed it from the beginning so now they are working over time to make everybody believe it – so obviously it makes it even less believable. Joseph Heller couldnt have done a better job than these two and they’ve done it to themselves.
      Now I’ve got a Radiohead song Just as an earworm…
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_qMagfZtv8
      ‘You do it to yourself you do and that’s what really hurts – you do it to yourself…”

    • shelly says:

      I hope they are having great sex, sex is good. However it doesn’t usually turn you orange, and TH does look like he’s been tangoed.

    • CornyBlue says:

      It is real and is being used for PR purposes because she probably needs to bury some story of some kind.

  13. frisbee says:

    “They have very real and serious conversations about life.”
    No – they have very real and very serious conversations about how all this will play out in PR terms to her tweener fans – who no doubt are lapping this up – which is exactly what they are supposed to do. The Rodenty one is nothing if not a complete Pro in these matters.
    The only thing that can make this work for me now is a Richard Curtis movie based on their ‘romance’ starring of course – them – and Emma Thompson as Tom’s Mum with Bill Nighy as his Dad and some very sarcastic dialogue from both of them. Otherwise I am officially bored and far too old for this cr*p.

  14. Sixer says:

    I can assure you that the internet’s Cockwomble of Cringe makes tea WRONG. This is because everyone but me makes tea WRONG. I am the only person who knows how to make a PROPER cup of tea. And 64,000,998 other UK citizens will tell you exactly the same.

    Also, that picture is hilarious. Cue captioned versions with thought bubbles:

    Cockwomble: A camera! Hooray! Do best coy* look while beaming at it.

    Swifty: Hoi, camera! Look at my cleavage!

    *I used my thesaurus to replace effete with coy cos I get told off every time I say effete.

    • frisbee says:

      I like effete – it’s the perfect word for LEGS. He is absolutely effete – allegedly.

      • Sixer says:

        I bet his tea is effete. I like builder’s tea.

      • Miss Jupitero says:

        Joss Whedon described him as effete.

      • Bonzo says:

        I like my tea like I like my beer — strong, dark and heavy.

        “Coy” doesn’t quite capture the essence of Eau de Tom. I say stick with EFFETE. We’ll back you.

      • frisbee says:

        Tea isn’t a proper cuppa unless you can stand a spoon in it I always say…the effete would faint…

      • Sixer says:

        I’m only messin’. I don’t mind being told off, you lot know this! I thought it funny when Whedon used that word so pinched it for myself. Coy is also good in that it’s a bit emasculating and therefore funny in my usual meanie pants way.

      • Lucy says:

        I bet he only drinks Earl Grey.

      • Liberty says:

        Builder’s tea is my drink, too, when I need to feel fortified or I’ve been rained upon during a run and it’s a chilly day. With a ginger snap is nice, or with one of those Waitrose organic buttery shortbread melts. Oh god. They’re Duchy.

        My grandmother was the only one in my family who could make tea near-correctly even though she was French. I still fumble with Earl Grey, I swear I get it too smoky somehow unless I am using her teapot.

    • kaiko says:

      Sixer, how is it I have gone my entire 34 years without ever hearing the term “cockwamble”? I feel as if I have now entered a newer, more enlightened phase of life…thank you dear Sixer, thank you for this!

    • kaiko says:

      @frisbee…he is a bit girlish, isn’t he? I honestly don’t understand the prissy gray suede shoes he’s always wearing, how can those be comfortable? ugh, you have no mystique Hiddleston, give it up!

      • frisbee says:

        @ kaiko it’s the big blue eyes wot does it – he blinks a lot, like a teenage girly – which I think we’ve already established is pretty much what he is

    • Bonzo says:

      These threads have officially gotten boring. Until TIDDLES does or says something worth commenting on or laughing at, I think I’ll just hang here and talk about tea and what the best biscuit is to go with it. I have numerous choices at World Market. Rich Tea is my favorite for dunking. Jammie Dodgers and dark chocolate Hob Nobs for the sweet sides.

      *scurries off to make a pot of lavender Earl Grey*

      • frisbee says:

        HOBNOBS! Although M & S do a really good, chunky, dunking biscuit that looks like a brick and doesn’t break up too quickly.
        http://www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com/biscuits/previous.php3?item=125
        This is old and they’ve changed the packaging but you can still get something similar…

      • Sixer says:

        I favour digestives for dunking. There are people hereabouts who dunk chocolate biscuits. This is heresy, I tell you, heresy.

        I can guess the LEGS tea brand of choice for you, if you like?

        1. Clipper or Cafe Direct or Traidcraft fair trade
        2. Taylors of Harrogate or Twining’s English breakfast
        3. Taylors of Harrogate Yorkshire

        Bet you a pound to an undunked chocolate Hob Nob that it’s one of those.

      • frisbee says:

        @ Sixer – I’d go for Fortnum and Mason for best – he’s got a hint of little old cat lady in his soul as well – and Traidcraft for right-on -ness. I like Barry’s tea myself with chocolate Hobnobs – what can I say, I’m a Pagan – literally…

      • Sixer says:

        I’m Yorkshire for every day. Betty’s lapsang souchong for when I’m being posh with cinnamon toast!

      • Bonzo says:

        mmmm…frisbee those look good. Can’t say I’ve seen them at World Market but will keep me eyes peeled. I’ve tried most of the varieties they have there that aren’t too outrageously priced.

        Sixer, I agree that chocolate doesn’t belong in my tea. It’s a side, not a dunker.

      • frisbee says:

        Ooh Cinnamon toast sounds lovely. I’m hungry.

    • MoochieMom says:

      Cockwomble had been added to my vocabulary. Shorty I’m gonna add it to several friends.

      • Sixer says:

        That’s my polite one. If you want to be really rude in a Britisher way, you can put the eff word in front of muppet or nugget. These are all very satisfying to say out loud!

    • Tiffany :) says:

      …HOW do you make tea? I am dying to know. 🙂

      • Sixer says:

        Boil kettle. Tea in pot. Brew 5 minutes. Milk in first (unless it’s the first cup of the day, when it’s no milk and a slice of lemon). MUST BE MUG/CUP OF THIN CHINA. Thick china only suitable for coffee! Never make with off-the-boil water. I can give you a much longer list of requirements but you would fall asleep. Mine is the only proper way to make tea. And, as I said above, 64 million other Britishers will have a slightly different way and insist that theirs is the only proper one.

        Without tea, the fabric of society would crumble and humankind would devolve back into amoeba swimming in the primordial ooze. This is a known fact.

        I had a boyfriend once whose family would only brew the tea in a metal pot. The pot could never be washed; only rinsed out. It had gross build-up on the inside of it. Ugh. Even I only drank coffee there.

      • lilacflowers says:

        I do believe one of the tabs at the top should include “How to make a proper cup of tea” as we do go over this frequently.

  15. Barnes says:

    She does look glow-y in recent candids but I figured she’d started doing her makeup differently. New bronzer?

  16. purple prankster says:

    This whole thing only makes sense to me if she’s pregnant. How come that theory isn’t getting much attention?

    • grabbyhands says:

      Just posted same thing below. I think it hasn’t quite gotten mainstream yet, but it is picking up steam in a lot of gossip sites,

    • Luca76 says:

      Because she’s been seen out drinking several times and on a bouncy inflatable slide. No pregnant woman is going down that Taymerica slide 50 times.

    • Nicole says:

      Because she’s been openly drinking the last few weeks?

      • Tara says:

        I don’t know how we know what’s in her glass, or even when they really started up their relationship. Not that I think she’s pregnant. I doubt it (though I wouldn’t be shocked). But I think she will be soon enough. Actually the slide argument is the most convincing one IMO.

      • MoochieMom says:

        Nah. I was high risk and I did everything like a normal person (well until that whole bed rest thing at the end). If you have a healthy pregnancy, go down that slide!

    • Katja says:

      Because they have been together for three weeks? Which makes it biologically near impossible for her being pregnant since they act weird. Or she is the superwoman who knows she is pregnant the moment they have sex.

      • LadyLoo says:

        Not if they cheated while she was still with CH. ONS at the Met Ball anyone?

        (I don’t think she’s pregnant. No pregnant woman would either travel via plane so much or take multiple trips down a waterslide.)

    • Becky says:

      PP, you mean how quickly they got serious? It makes sense if you look at Taylor’s bf history. Go check her tag on this site and look at the stories about her & Harry Styles in 2012. Got serious v quickly, met family etc. There were 2 others before that. Her relationship with Calvin Harris was relatively normal in comparison.

  17. grabbyhands says:

    I’m afraid I may be starting to buy into the “she’s pregnant” conspiracy. I cannot think of another reason for this type of ridiculous PR diarrhea.

  18. TheSageM says:

    It’s going to crash and burn.

  19. Nicole says:

    I kinda want them to get married just so I can see the epic fallout from it. Taylor is already crazy when relationships of a few months end can you IMAGINE the level of crazy if her marriage ends? AND if tom gets a piece of that fortune? Lord it would be hilarious
    Either way this level of insanity is beyond stupid. But still here with my snacks mocking the crazy that is Hiddleswift. It’s a fun summer activity

    • K.C. says:

      I don’t care if she thinks she’s living in a Disney movie or not—this girl has enough sense to get an iron-clad prenup.

      • Evie says:

        HAH! Don’t underestimate Tommy-Anne’s cleverness at either talking her out of a PreNup or getting a very generous settlement. That may be the ONLY way she gets him to walk up the aisle.

    • CornyBlue says:

      Tom will literally never see a part of Taylor’s fortune. She is not stupid by any means whatsoever

    • Miss Jupitero says:

      Tay Tay has a team of managers as well as her family of financiers to make absolutely certain that her money and that she (the corporate product) is well protected.

      • Sixer says:

        She *is* the corporate product.

        I don’t mean this as a specific criticism of Swift. It’s just that it seems to me this is increasingly what celebrity means now. Nothing much to do with actual charisma or talent. I’m not at all big on performer-as-product. Surely there’s a limit on how far artistic endeavour should be monetised? I’m probably getting old or something. I might shake a fist at the sky tomorrow.

  20. Eener says:

    And somewhere, Chris Evans and Jenny Slate breathe a sigh of relief.

  21. Jo says:

    What kind of tea? We have different types of tea, but if someone offers you tea in the UK, it’s not usually followed up with ‘which type?’ Tea is tea. Not fruit tea. Not Darjeeling. Just tea. PJ Tips or Yorkshire or Typhoo. You’d be happy with any of these if you’re offered tea. You’d usually have milk and maybe sugar in it too.

    So, if he’s being British, he’s just drinking straight up tea!

  22. shelly says:

    Also all this talk about him making her feel safe makes me a bit queasy. I mean she travels around with body guards, maybe she means emotionally safe, his maturity also gets mentioned a fair bit.
    The age gap isn’t that big, but it keeps getting mentioned, and its making him look a bit like a dirty old man (FWIW I don’t think that about him at all, he seems more of a good natured dork in my eyes)
    This all seems so vanilla to me, that’s not necessarily a bad thing, but I would love it if he got caught doing a line of coke off her implants, that would be awesome. But boringly I think they genuinely are the sort of couple who have pillow fights and feed each other cake and ice cream.

    • K.C. says:

      “If he got caught doing a line of coke off her implants” — OMG, that made me laugh out loud. That would indeed be the celebrity gossip of the century. Though I tend to agree that in reality, they are THAT couple—the absurdly cutesy type that make their other couple friends roll their eyes. Behind closed doors, she’d better be taking advantage of the Tiddlesbanging and not having pillow fights though, lol.

  23. Gnomeo says:

    They’ll have cyclops for kids.

  24. Skins says:

    She wants to marry the guy because she loves his accent. OK. That really speaks to the depth of their love. The break-up is going to be so epic and beautiful. Can’t wait

  25. cindyp says:

    Please no more postings on them in the morning; too early for this nauseating nonsense. Still don’t get what’s in it for him?

    • browniecakes says:

      In my mind yes, his name is out there more, for better or for worse. But is hooking up with her going to get him Bond or an Emmy? – no. I don’t see the corrrelation. He could use more upcoming work but just being with her looks like work, so there’s that.

      • cindyp says:

        I just don’t get it. If they were really in to each other, there wouldn’t be this ridiculous PR blitz. I didn’t know anything about him until the Night Manager & some late nite appearances he made for the Hank Williams pic. I thought he was super sexy with a great sense of humor. I can see him with someone more mature & classy, not this immature tween. Not sure why I care but it’s fascinating.

      • browniecakes says:

        Other than both being entertainers I don’t see what they have in common. Tom should enjoy shooting Thor 3- less cameras.

    • Yellowrose says:

      Answer to your last question: now everyone in America knows who he is. What his recent movie roles didn’t do for him, a big celeb relationship with a much, much, bigger celeb name appears to be doing. 35, receding hairlines, no real LTR with a woman, whispers rising, problems getting major film star status off the ground with roles, Bond hanging in the balance – time to establish those Major Het Creds and look like a Major Bankable Star!

      They remind me of what people used to say about Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers: she gave him sex appeal, he gave her class.

      • LadyLoo says:

        Please don’t compare these two to Fred and Ginger. TayTo wishes.

        How about: she gave him PR and the world’s scorn, he gave her a new song idea.

  26. AG-UK says:

    I hate that (I love his accent) jeeez I can hear the sentence in her voice saying it too..

  27. browniecakes says:

    Of course they are tan – they spent oodles of time out in the sun over the 4th. Also, Tom’s got a forehead like a solar panel.

  28. InvaderTak says:

    I don’t think any of that is going to happen. In my fanfic world she ultimately ends up with Ed Sheeran; the quiet dude friend who is always there. (Yes, I know he has a gf at the moment) She changes the narrative from Nicholas Sparks to Meg Cabot.

  29. leigh says:

    Moving at the speed of crazy.

    • browniecakes says:

      Tom handed in his man card when he signed the NDA so it’s all up to her.

  30. Frexit says:

    Aside from her boobs, she’s has some facial work done. I think maybe to make her eyes less squinty and some botox but it’s backfired.

    I never thought she was a particularly cute girl (very horsey in the face) but she’s going to look really rough (Madonna rough) pretty soon.

    • LadyLoo says:

      I think the teeth have been tinkered with as well, which is usual for celebs. But it’s crossed the line into chipmunk/rat territory.

  31. browniecakes says:

    I think the gossip mags are trying a new approach – marriage and babies – to see how the clicks go. She did have one childhood friend just get married and Abigail just got engaged, so it is probably on her mind. I’ll go along with that. Also, it fits why a person would trouble their parents with a meet and greet. Although we never did see photos of Tom WITH her parents, did we? And we’re all about the photos.

    • Bonzo says:

      Brownie, this makes sense since Taylor is a master at using IMAGES to tell her story. TIDDLES is doing the same thing. They are not being private, but using a different medium than text/words to put a narrative out — one that allows for a variety of interpretations (unlike words that *can be* limiting), evokes a strong emotional response and keeps plenty of questions unanswered.

      Smart companies have figured out that pictures are much more effective than words and so have Taylor and Tom. Unless they get engaged or married, I doubt we’ll get much more than that from them. Maybe a generic, boilerplate soundbite around the time of the Emmy’s but that’s about it.

    • K.C. says:

      I definitely buy that marriage is on her mind. Once your friends start getting married/engaged (and these are her legit, childhood friends, not members of the squad), you can’t help but start daydreaming about it yourself. Couple that with the fact that she’s dating a man who will likely settle down in the near future if he gets married at all (I don’t see him going Clooney and waiting forever), and I think a wedding isn’t out of the realm of possibility.

      Re: Clicks. Absolutely. The reason why every outlet under the sun ran a story questioning the validity of the relationship was because it was getting good clicks, so they piggybacked off each other. Now it seems like the same organizations are testing the waters of what sort of traction stories talking about an actual relationship can get. I do hope people realize that’s all online news organizations are about. It’s not about what the media believes or finds interesting or even what PR people want—it’s about what publications’ readers want.

      • Luca76 says:

        K.C I always agree with your comments thank you for being so sensible!!!

      • K.C. says:

        Aww, thank you Luca76!

        In instances like this, I feel like the role the media plays is oddly underemphasized. PR teams pull many strings, but a lot of what we’re seeing is from unattached journalists taking a story and running with it.

      • Luca76 says:

        It’s such a breath of fresh air KC! Yeah people congratulate themselves on being so skeptical but they don’t anaylize or question the gossip media which has its own agenda.

      • justme says:

        K.C. – you are the best! Eonline was running strong with the faux-romance/conspiracies/music videos stuff just last week. That particular story is now played out, so it is time to move onto marriage and babies – probably followed by “does Tom have a wandering eye” stories etc. etc. Reality does not come into it.

        (I would love to see some Tiddle-tots I must admit though – they would make very cute babies – all blonde/ginger curls and rosy cheeks! 🙂 )

      • this_dis says:

        Your second paragraph is a good analysis on how the media functions nowadays.

        Although, it does make me wonder: every single post complaining on how they are going too fast, how cringe they are, how fake it is, how this is totally something Taylor would do, in variable degrees of anger and disgust, and what not – these people are taking these sorts of articles at face value, actually buying these come straight from the horse’s mouth? That the “sources” are somehow legitimate?… Then these same people turn around, and laugh at tweens for… buying in to what the media is spinning?…

        I don’t get this.

      • Luca76 says:

        It’s the same with thing with blind items. I’ve seen some that were taken verbatim from posts by crazed fans on tumblr. Its difficult because camps do talk to the media and sometimes blind items are true but there doesn’t seem to ever be a lense of skepticism when it comes to gossip press which will outright lie all the time.

      • this_dis says:

        …or fan-made casting, taken from twitter, being sold as some sort of insider’s tips from the producers or tptb. Case in point, Bond.

  32. OhDear says:

    I know that none of this is real, but if someone tried to talk to me about marriage and kids within the first month of getting together, I’d be out of there so fast you’d see the cloud of dust, roadrunner-style. As I was saying in the last Tiddles post, promoting this type of romantic fantasy is not cute; it’s actually harmful (particularly with her young fanbase).

    (Yes, I know that people can get together quickly and stay together forever and ever. That is not the norm, though.)

    • Luca76 says:

      Eh gossip aside I think there’s a way to be upfront about your long term relationship desires without being psycho. I mean if you look online everyone pretty much says whether they are looking for a long term relationship or just a hookup etc. Saying I may want to get married, have kids ONE DAY is not crazy. It’s better to know within the first few months if you are on the same page with long term goals.

      • OhDear says:

        That is a good point!

        (Though it doesn’t seem like that’s the case in this Tiddles narrative, but I think we agree on that as well)

      • K.C. says:

        I agree. If you can truly see yourself with someone, there’s no harm in voicing that you’re interested in marriage/kids at some point. You don’t need to be clingy or demanding about it, but it’s important that your expectations are known. There’s nothing worse than being in a long-term relationship not knowing if/when you’ll take the next step, and wanting to take the next step.

    • KatMC says:

      Exactly. The constant presence would drive me crazy too. She honestly reeks of clinginess. Why did they not rent a private home somewhere? I know this is a luxury hotel but I would not want to be stuck there for x number of weeks with the press outside.

      • LadyLoo says:

        She’s always been a white-knuckle clinger. Rumor was that Jake G was ready to take out a restraining order because she keep showing up to the same events as he after they split? Then there was the house purchase to be next to the 18-year-old high school bf. You can see how her clinginess grates with the end of the Harry S relationship. He actually walked her down a pier, put her on a boat for the airport and then headed back to enjoy the rest of his vacation!

        Tom has probably never wanted to be on set more in his life.

      • Westiesheepie says:

        Australian news report say they were only staying at the Peppers hotel for the weekend then moving to a more private mansion.

      • browniecakes says:

        Marvelous Mansions. Tom can catch the Marvel shuttle bus to the studio with the others in the AyEm and Taylor can go home. She won’t but I wanted to say it.

    • LadyLoo says:

      “(Yes, I know that people can get together quickly and stay together forever and ever. That is not the norm, though.)”

      But this IS the norm in the deluded minds of her 12-year-old fans…and in the mind of their perpetually 15-year-old leader: Tay-Tay. Of course she’s met the ONE (like all the others), of course they’re going to be together forever (like all the others), of course they’re going to get married and have children (like all the others).

      • KatMC says:

        That whole episode regarding her buying the house/property by the Kennedy’s was SO bizarre. You know it is bad when Kathy Lee Gifford complains about her behavior.

      • Nicole says:

        Same. I’m Taylor’s age and in a new relationship (longer than hers though) and we’ve had the we want to be exclusive talk. Not the marriage or children talk. I don’t care how many friends I have that are married it’s WAY too soon to even discuss it for me. I’d run
        But to Taylor and her stans it’s completely normal to fall in love within a month with guy after guy and cross inappropriate boundaries with almost all of them. It’s sad and kinda scary that anyone thinks that’s normal behavior

      • Mira says:

        Same. I am also in Taylors age group and i can’t imagine having that conversation after a month. Quite frankly I would be running for the hills if someone brought kids up with me after a month. 🙂

    • Fa says:

      Maybe she is pregnant that’s why they met their respective parents quicker than the norm

  33. FingerBinger says:

    I’m a big tea drinker as well. Obviously that makes me a proper English lady.

  34. browniecakes says:

    That is an amazing skyscraper apartment they are staying in (for how long?) with fans camped out at the bottom. I wonder if Tom sees the High-Rise irony.

  35. Grant says:

    I disagree that Taylor is getting more out of Tiddles than Tom. Taylor is the biggest pop star in the world. Tom is a marginally well-known English actor that most laypeople wouldn’t be able to recognize beyond “That guy that played Loki in Avengers.” His profile is blowing up exponentially.

    • browniecakes says:

      They talk allot about how Taylor can’t help herself. I can’t help thinking about Michael Jackson many times when I read about/see her lifestyle. If I can pay for it I can do it if I want it I should have it. After a point of fame and fortune and success, no one puts them in check.

  36. Stuffapea says:

    If he’s half Scottish and half British wouldn’t that make him…..Skittish?

  37. fiona says:

    I have implants and no, they don’t really require recovery time. Yes, be careful and rest for a couple of days but it doesn’t take weeks to recover. I was walking around within 24 hours of surgery just fine. People make a big hoo ha about it.

    Taylor’s breasts look extremely fake. Breast implants look awful on bone thin women with zero body fat and natural breast tissue. If you’re a stick only get TINY implants otherwise they look like bolt ons.

    • LadyLoo says:

      That Grand Canyon between them is, I believe, called the ‘Refund Gap.’ As in, you should be entitled to a refund if you end up with one like that.

      Even the first set she got in 2013/14 were like grapefruits hanging out beneath her chin. Lord knows why she decided for a second pair.

  38. Westiesheepie says:

    Well Forbes just named Taylor highest paid celebrity of 2016 with $170 million!!! Yup, while all the keyboard warriors are calling her an idiotic, immature, rat faced, clingy whore whom no man could possibly want to be with, she is actually a powerful, successful, independent woman living her life that she created, laughing all the way to the bank. Oh and she is only 26 yrs old!

    • Dara says:

      None of those things are mutually exclusive. She can be any and all of them at the same time.

    • Evie says:

      Yep, and Tommy-Anne is right there to help her spend it on jets, limos, bodyguards, mansions etc.

      And Tay-Tay is undeniably successful. She didn’t just create this on her own. Her very wealthy parents bankrolled her career beginning in her early teens. So she was not just plain folks who earned it from scratch like many others — Jennifer Lopez springs to mind.

      • Pro Swifty says:

        Which is why I find it hilarious when the Hiddlestans say Mr. RADA Eton is too “classy” for TS. If TS isn’t of a high enough social class to date TH, who the hell is???

      • Phoebe says:

        Money and class also aren’t mutually exclusive (Brittany Spears comes to mind). Just because she grew up rich doesn’t mean she’s classy in the British sense of the word. Being educated at some of the finest schools in the world vs being tutored on a tour bus is a huge gap. I think you will find most people tend to couple up with someone close to their same level of education and upbringing.

      • Bess says:

        Phoebe, I think your comment about people coupling up with someone close to their same level of education and upbringing is more true for women than it is for men. Women don’t tend to marry men who don’t share a similar level of education.

    • M.A.F. says:

      I don’t think anyone of this board has denied the business side of her. She knows what she is doing there. But someone can make $170 million in one year and still act like a child.

    • EM says:

      But she didn’t create it. She has a privileged background and had the right contacts that got her career going.

    • Becky says:

      Or she has very good management and advisors. As well as being talented, hard-working and professional, like loads of other people in the business.

      Also, I wonder where Bieber is on that list. In his case he’s got issues with his parents iirc, his mother is out the picture and his father lets him do what he wants. Still hasn’t matured much past 16.

    • Original T.C. says:

      Making money does not mean you aren’t a petty, immature brat who in your mid-twenties forms relationships with teenage boys, stalks ex-boyfriends, stages pap shots and is a stage 12 clinger. She, just like Donald Trump who is also a petty, immature brat started her career with money from Mommy and Daddy, actually Mommy and Daddy BOUGHT her a record label and have managed her career and finances all along the way.

      Unlike the vast majority of other pops stars who came from poor backgrounds and had to work for every piece of the pie. And never learned about money management since they were a toddler. And also Ms. Independent Feminist made her money from dating boys and writing blind-item songs trashing them with their names spelled out in her song books.

      Yes she is rich and successful (I need some receipts that her parents aren’t in charge of the money for independent) but how many equally rich and success men of age 25-30 are flocking to her side? How many mature ADULT men want to end up in a childish Taylor Swift song aimed at 11year olds. I think it’s funny people were shocked at Hiddles for attending a Selena Gomez concert when most of Selena and Taylor’s fans bases are the same pre-teen age group!

      P.S. They only people on this site using the word ‘whore’ when referring to Taylor are her defenders who are desperately trying to put words in our mouth because they can’t find a good way to defend her. We non-Taylor stans beleive in adult sexuality and don’t refer to it as whoring. LOL.

      • LadyLoo says:

        I love that you’ve put her at Stage 12 in regards to her clinginess. Most had her at level 5/6, but that’s waaaaaay too low for a woman who bought a multi-million dollar house to be close to a teenage bf.

    • Hannah says:

      That’s because she was on tour for a year.If you use that criteria Katy Perry is a genius too. Last year she was the higest earning.

      • LadyLoo says:

        Hannah wins for point of the thread. Touring for extended periods of time usually = highest earner.

    • Caz says:

      I hope Taylor is paying her PR team well…they are geniuses. I can’t believe the masses are buying into this. It’s not the gossip mags/sites driving this, it’s Taylor via her PR team.

  39. spidey says:

    “a source” told E! News exclusively Sunday.

    That source guy doesn’t half get round a lot. Anyone can print anything attributable to “a source”

    Sorry, my cynical side is coming out.

  40. AnotherDirtyMartini says:

    All I got from this is that it looks like Taylor got another boob job. The DM pics are so busty.

  41. Elise says:

    Looks to me like Tom is following the “least said, soonest mended” school of commentary. TS’s sources can gush all over, but Tom is keeping his mouth shut. Wise man.

    • Guesto says:

      Wise, certainly, in the current context of not indulging the media circus. Wise, in the broader sense of what he’s willingly signed up to, remains to be seen.

  42. Miss Jupitero says:

    This was in March:

    “Before meeting Calvin she’d completely sworn off men and was focusing on her career,” an insider told Britain’s Grazia magazine. “The last thing she wanted was to get involved with another high-profile man but they just clicked. This is the most secure Taylor has ever felt. It’s not been easy getting there after everything she’s been through with her previous boyfriends but Calvin has proved over the last year that he’s The One.”

    It’s a canned script.

    • Evie says:

      @Miss Jupitero – Spot on! Tay-Tay’s MO playbook hasn’t changed. What is different now is that the audience has expanded beyond her fanbase of Tween acolytes who don’t open wide and unhesitatingly swallow every utterance across every social media known as gospel truth.

    • Tara says:

      She’s a CAA client isn’t she? I’m kind of astounded they can make money just cutting and pasting “S/he thinks s/he’s the one. S/he’s laughing and flipping his/her hair” over and over.

    • M.A.F. says:

      She also called their relationship “magical” in the Vogue issue with the platinum hair.

    • Miss Melissa says:

      I’m surprised no one has pointed out that Taylor has been actively pursuing an acting career since 2010. She was in a film with oscar winners Meryl Streep and Jeff Bridges called “The Giver”. It was on cable last night.

      Her choice in boyfriend isn’t just happenstance, methinks. She may have been in the market for a serious actor for professional reasons. Best of both worlds.

    • browniecakes says:

      ‘Sworn off men’ is an interesting statement.

  43. Zombie Shortcake says:

    Media focus on her cats has certainly declined.

  44. Hannah says:

    I hope shes doesn’t have kids with him. He’s so unattractive. Ugh.

  45. guest says:

    eh, good for them

  46. KatMc says:

    I suppose I saw someone who was a serious actress or who led a more private with him. Every time I look at her, I cannot believe she is 26 years of age. She reminds me of a fifteen-year-old. She always has this ridiculous smug look on her face. I am not sure if it is because she resembles a rodent or if she just is that smug or it is a combination of both. I guess both.

  47. Laura says:

    FYI Her dad bought part of her record company when she was a teen. She works hard but she had a LOT of help from her wealthy parents,

  48. HK9 says:

    If she actually gets engaged/married to him, all I can see is an explosion of her life 24/7 coated in sparkles. I’m gonna need to hoard survival supplies from COSTCO and find a place to hide….

  49. Christin says:

    Stopped by the discount (dollar) store closest to my house this evening. Plopped on the edge of the checkout counter was a small box of ISTL DVDs with Tom’s Hank-ness on the cover. Looked like maybe one had been purchased out of the box (I live in an area along Hank’s final route, which is very old time country music oriented).

    That is the first time I’ve ever noticed a DVD costing over three dollars at this particular store, or a newly released title strategically placed at the checkout. Usually they have cartoons and older DVDs in a corner bin.

    I’m truly bored of this story, so my first thought was, “I cannot escape this.” (LOL)

  50. Shshsh says:

    Recovery is very quick for some people. A friend of mine went shopping the same day after having hers done…and the scarring is minimal-they have lasers and creams that assist in getting rid of incision lines. Under the breast or by the armpit -that is where you would see incision or scars. I worked for plastic surgeons as their before and after photographer. Let me tell ya…she definitely had em done…new boobs for the new boy!

  51. Umila says:

    I’m going to come off like a jerk: I don’t see any evidence of a boob job, I don’t see anything a push-up couldn’t accomplish, and I don’t see why anyone would waste their money on a lot of fuss over nothing. What I mean by ‘a lot of fuss over nothing’ is that they just don’t seem impressive or upgraded at all. Now, that may be the sign of a good boob job…but nope…just don’t see it. I totally don’t care if she wants to enhance her rack. I’ve wanted boobs all my life and feel like a pervert for eye sampling the lovely breasts around me. I’m not an expert on plastic surgery by any means, but I remain unconvinced.

    • LadyLoo says:

      You don’t see any evidence of a boob job after she went from an A to a C cup? Or how they’re sitting on her chest like grapefruit halves? Fine, it doesn’t make you a jerk.

  52. Browniecakes says:

    I wonder if the bodyguards ever call one of Taylor’s men by the wrong name.

  53. Sean says:

    Does his husband know about this?

  54. SweetCaroline says:

    I thought last year most commenters here were over the moon about Hiddleston. As I remember he was pitted against Cumberbatch as “Sexiest Brit” on this very site. I find it odd that he’s being ridiculed here when not too long ago, he was revered as a virtual sex god. Taylor and Hiddleston deserve more respect. They are not hurting anyone, and to me, they look genuinely in love. So, what’s soooo wrong with love and positivity? I think people should look for the good and stop with the snarky comments. Most of these comments sound so mean and catty; it’s really depressing when grown women have to resort to such petty mudslinging.

    • teacakes says:

      “it’s really depressing when grown women have to resort to such petty mudslinging.”

      Someone should tell that to Taylor Swift.

  55. dalla says:

    I hope she has baby with him.He is so HOT! <3

  56. LadyLoo says:

    @ sweet caroline

    Yes, I too hate it when a grown woman has to resort to petty things: changing hair color to hide a bewb job, PRing a relationship to bury bad news about herself, pap strolling with her bf’s family in a desperate attempt to legitimize her relationship of 2.4 seconds, visiting hospitals to distract from negative articles about her relationship and new rack.
