Here are some photos of Elizabeth Olsen at Stella McCartney’s LA show last night. I thought we should devote a post to Olsen, not because her Stella look was so tragic or bad (it wasn’t), but because of the RUMORS. Dragonfly rumors. You see, Elizabeth was back in LA for this event… after she flew to Hawaii to spend time with Tom Hiddleston. Tom was in Pasadena last Friday, so it’s even possible that they flew into LA together and they just kept it really, really quiet. We know Olsen and Hiddles were together because the director of Kong: Skull Island posted photos of Hiddles, Olsen and Brie Larson together. He quickly took the photo down because he was inundated with comments/craziness from the Dragonflies. People screencapped it though:
So, Olsen flew out to the Kong set to visit Hiddles? Was this after he dumped her? Or did the breakup never happen? These two are playing a hell of a lot of games for two people who are just casual friends. At this point, I guess I’ll believe that they’ve been together the whole time, that they started up around the time Elizabeth Olsen dumped her fiance over the phone, through all of last year, through TIFF, through Olsen denying their coupledom, and now into the new year. That’s what it looks like.
One last word about Olsen’s Stella McCartney look though… does she look pregnant to anyone else or is it just an unflattering dress? *drops bomb, walks away*

I think they look cute together. I actually like them together; sorry dragonflies.
Samesies
+2
Same
Me. Too. Hiddleston-Olson babies would be beautiful and squee worthy!
She really does have a pregnancy glow/fullness going on..looks like I did in the very early stages..
Yet another victim of bad Stella designs, I am going to raise a glass in memory of good fashion.
Her designs really aren’t that fabulous.
No, but she has a famous Dad.
Famous dad. Design ability+zero.
It’d be amusing to see the meltdown from the Dragonflies if she were pregnant. Almost as fun as seeing the meltdown from the Twihards if Rob Pattinson marries and/or impregnates FKA.
But she loves the oversized gowns so probably not.
Her ex Boyd Holbrook is one of the strongest celeb crushes I have had in my life.Good lord that man is YUMMY.
right? He is fine!
I know right? He is so sexy He is also very good in Narcos.
I didnt have any crush on him before I watched Narcos.He is sexy as f**k in that series .His voice is…*loses it*
P.S He also has some HOT scenes there.I loved them.
I seriously need to watch Narcos. Keep hearing good things about it.
Sorry, he doesn’t do anything for me at all. He looks like taller, slightly cuter version of Macaulay Culkin. I can see how he might be a good actor and that his attractiveness probably comes across in his attitude, body language and dramatic skills. But on looks alone, I just don’t care for his facial features and expressions.
I agree with you Cranberry,he does nothing for me on looks alone as well.You need to see him in movement…what a sweet,sexy guy.I also watched Very good girls and although his character is creepy ,there is a tenderness that shines through Boyd that makes me want to cuddle him forever <3 There is a scene where he is holding a baby in Narcos and I thought my ovaries exploded ,I swear.
Yep, I saw a clip of him in something and really liked him. The still pictures don’t do him justice.
Oh Kaiser, what a firestorm you might have started right there, lolololol. 😀
FWIW I don’t think she looks pregnant, rather I think it’s that god-awful fabric that’s making her look really wide in the middle / across the torso.
*Sits back with some hot chocolate and waits for the Tumblr meltdowns*
I think it’s bad tailoring of the dress and too much fabric.
I hope so, the freak-outs on Tumblr would be something to see…
These Hollywood couples tht are together or not moments are really getting on my nerves. And I have had enough. This is just people claiming for fame and publicity. And it me if I am wrong
Or scandal rags, websites, trying to make something out of nothing?
Yup spidey, I’m with you. I’m not even sure that’s EO in this pic. I know it kinda looks like her, but still could be that other girl. I know she MAY not have been in Hawaii when this pic was taken, but there’s still too much speculation and shaky facts. But even if it is EO, I don’t blame them for hiding their relationship or fwb. I don’t see them getting any advantage, professional or personal, from publicity of their supposed coupling. The only ones I’ve seen benefiting from the rumors are rags and websites.
I find tneir behaviour insulting to any intelligent fan. Especially considering her attempt to mutter something like a denial at TIFF, which I and others here rightfully defined as a non denial, actually. But overall, date and own it, ffs. So childish.
We are discussing celebrities after all. I can’t imagine that any celebrity would wear a tent on purpose unless it was to hide a pregnancy or start pregnancy rumors.
I don’t think she’s pregnant. She’s just apple shaped and that dress is unflattering to her shape.
Yep she’s that kind of shape. When she wore that peplum dress at TIFF there were comments she looked up the duff then too.
And as that was back in September (counts on fingers) 🙂
And if you asked me.. Tom Hiddlestone and Elizabeth Olsen do make a very cute couple.
Their little game is childish, I guess they deserve each other.
Good luck.
How much of it is “their game” and how much is 2+2 = 10 by the press?
And how much of it is people on gossip sites and Twitter, Instagram, and tumblr just going on and on and on?
BTW, nobody knows when that picture in Hawaii was actually taken.
the bitch-fest on Jorden’s instragram site has been cringe-making in the least. Some people have totally lost their sense of perspective.
And as it was a collage not an actual………………………
(sorry, wrong place)
@p’enny, the debacle on JVR’s instagram made me so embarrassed for everyone involved. Perspective is needed indeed. Step away from your computers and go outside, people!
Thank you spidey! I’m not a great fan of either of them, I’ve seen some of their films but the only game I see being played comes from the media and fans speculation. Actually, they seem really private and not really ding anything to induce people of something. They are not playing coy and have no obligation to share their lives with us.
I guess some people just get annoyed by them bc they wanted to know more and both Tom and Elizabeth just don’t give it to them. Ha!:P
@spidey *snigger*
US Weekly articles, getting papped at a known celeb hangout, weirdly timed tabloid stories about how EO is all about her career…
But I agree about the crazy intrusive comments.
Hey jammy which one was the “snigger” for?
@spider, I love your common sense and find some fans’ logic behind so called “PR” a bit much.
@ jammy – Right. As I’ve said before, it must be an age thing. The fandom could make the Bayeaux Tapestry out of a yard of thread the amount of spinning they do.
@spidey, “Fandom could make Bayeaux Tapestry …with the amount of spinning they do”
Good one ; )
Bayeaux Tapestry for the win.
So ~they~ are the ones being childish, and not the crazed fans losing their collective mind* over unreliable gossip mags and the possibility that their internet boyfriend might have a girlfriend? Hokaaaay.
*”Mind” was meant to be singular; I do believe that they have but one brain that they share amongst themselves, and that unfortunately many of them are active on the internet on days when it is not their turn to use it.
Wow, the dragonflies are in full attack mode.
TH can’t assume having a gf.
The “nothing writing home” is his behavior since years, so yeah this guy and his little games are childish, or coward, you chose.
By the way, I’m not an Hiddles fan, at all.
Dear Kaiser, can we please NOT use the term Dragonfly to describe the idiots that are/were spewing their crazy all over the director’s instagram account and other places? They are unworthy of the term.
We Dragonflies have our own special brand of madness to be sure, but we strive mightily to maintain our perspective, sense of humor, and rational human thought. Most importantly, we have the good sense (not to mention impulse control) to contain our crazy behind closed doors…and/or the comment sections of this website.
@freebunny, we’ll have to agree to disagree about whether TH’s living his life and not feeling compelled to spell it out for the press is childish or cowardly. But I do want to clarify that I wasn’t including you in the childish fans I mentioned above (I can definitely tell you’re not a fan!). I was referring to his fans that are wringing their hands on Tumblr and elsewhere, slinging abuse at EO, and especially the ones trolling JVR’s Instagram. That’s the mess here in my opinion, not the fact that TH and EO haven’t clarified whether or not they are dating — who cares/it’s none of my business.
Anyway, I’m sorry it sounded like my snark was aimed at you; I should have worded it more clearly.
Kind of like the Borg. lol
@Freebunny, Really can’t understand some of your logic. But to be sure, everyone can tell your not a TH fan. Still, it’s not about playing games or cowardice, TH or any celebrity doesn’t owe his fans or the press any info about his personal life.
Many celebrities blunder when they’re put on the spot with intrusive personal questions. I think he was actually trying to be honest regarding JA by implying that he does see people, but he has no serious commitments. I think he’s learned now to just keep it all under wraps and not give out anything whether THEO is true or not.
They’re not a couple. They’re friends with benefits. Otherwise he’d wouldn’t make excuses about being seen with her in public. He’d have taken her to his sister’s wedding, and all the other events he’s been part of. It’s not like she’s doing anything except chasing him all over the world. That’s her main role right now.
I’m just going to sit in this corner and wait for snacks.
I’ll join you… And a few drinks too.. Where’s Colin?
Colin?? Oh Colin??
Colin is right here on the Australian veranda. Just follow Mark; he will lead you through the fray to safety and refreshments. We have a lovely view of the beach and might go surfing later.
Oh thank you Lilac..
*Hi Mark!!! What’ve you been up to?…*
Mark has had a tough week what with the fray sinking the barge while crossing the Pacific. Fortunately, those of us on the heliocarrier enjoyed our flight and he was able to summon a rescue barge quickly so no lives were lost in the drink. He’s better now that we’ve all reached Australia.
He’d be plucking that page right out of Cumby’s book if she were pregnant, except the meltdown would be even crazier with this one. *fingers crossed* I don’t have much going on in my life right now and this sounds exciting.
Wait, cross fingers For or Against a pregnancy?
I vote for No Pregos.
Yes Pregos! This promises to be entertaining, and I don’t have cable…
Oh you guys are Baaaaad. lol
What, no cable? omg, omg, omg
Remember the days when there was no internet so to speak of, ie blogs, fb, twitter, gossip sites, even email? You would just have to read a book while waiting for the TH newsletter to arrive in the mail. hhaha
She looks more relaxed, but I don’t see the pregnancy glow. She looks slimmer than she was when promoting avengers. But if they are together and she is pregnant, it willl be a cute baby!
Oh, Kaiser. How evil you àre to the Dragonflies. You know how fragile they are!
( is that agonized wailing I hear?!)
Yet, the Cumber(not so)collective were the ones giving gold GOLD ( did I say GOOOOLD?!) online meltdown…Poor “Bendy” being forced to marry an evil woman who played him at the young age of 38… Hahahahaha
ok that made me burst out laughing
She not knocked up, just making another fugly sartorial choice.
I’m with Kaiser on this. I think these two started an onset affair and have continued hooking up since then. The million dollar question is whether it will continue after ISTL releases.
I have to say that after her publicist leaked the hookup rumor, their pap walks and their dodgy TIFF responses to the dating question, JVR’s oopsie (?) picture was pure gold.
Looking forward to seeing how this thing plays out in the coming months.
@Nutballs I agree about the hooking up but not the timing. There were brief sightings of her in London last Feb and Tom was in London until filming The Night Mgr abroad in May, if she’d been around I’ve no doubt there would have been more sightings. As soon as she turned up in July someone got a pic. Looks like they’ve been hooking up every month or so (incl promo) since then when his schedule allows.
I think it makes a lot more sense that they started hooking up on set, after she had broken her engagement and they were working closely together.
But, believe what you will. Since he was busy filming TNM for 4 months and they live an ocean apart, I wouldn’t expect there to be a ton of sightings of them together.
No one takes photos of him in London or very very few. He goes for months without a photo being posted. It’s something about how we live in Europe, I don’t know. The celebrity obssession in North America, which I witness npw first hand, is non existing in Europe. And the photo with Olsen in London happened only after months of reported sightings and Tumblr teasing “no, you didn’t see them, prove it!”. That was the only reason why even this one (almost two) photo was taken.
Of course, they hooked up during ISTL. And they declared it openly in July. The rest is childish if not stupid but it’s amusing to witness the denial of some! LOL
@Mary-Alic Umm, they did not declare any relationship or hook up in July. They both denied it in fact, and that can be verified by many sources. Whether you believe they’re lying or not is another thing.
There’s a few other pics of TH around London, not a much as a super famous celeb or a celeb that lives in LA. Someone took pics of him on the tube, also on the street alone after a movie, and in a restaurant after coriolanus. He’s not in London a whole lot anyway cause he’s off filming or promoting at film festivals.
Months of reported sightings, you mean before July? There were posts on a couple of tumblr blogs that she was seen in his neighbourhood for about a week in Feb last year but no pics. He was seen regularly alone after that eg that pic of him on the Tube in Feb. As my post above I think they hooked up but nothing else happened til the summer (that 1st US Weekly article was dropping a hint).
@Becky, Rodney Crowell was also in London at the same time in February last year. They were working on finishing the soundtrack recording for ISTL.
@Lilacflowers I know she was in London the same time as Rodney Crowell, but she was also seen in her off time hanging in Tom’s neighbourhood.
She’s not pregnant. It’s just another one of her weird, ugly outfits. Sorry all I can see when I look at her is Mary Kate and Ashley.
Sigh, every time there’s a non body con dress, start up the pregnancy rumors.
Look at her face. It hasn’t had that plumpness before.
Agree. Either her contouring is different from what we’ve seen of her face lately, or she’s knocked up.
I so look forward to the Hiddleston and Olsen posts. I know almost nothing about either of them except what I’ve read here but the comments on their posts are usually pure comic gold.
Oh our dear Kaiser, you win the teaser troll of the day award lol
I know right?! The pregnant twist was too much. We’ll be at 200 comments before lunch PST.
We must be loosing our mojo… it took an extra 3.5 hrs, brownie! C’mon dragonflies… comment!
I’d laugh pretty hard if Hiddles goes the same way as Cumberbatch. These two are totally together; they’ve been playing people for ages. Just walk the carpet already, geez.
I like Lizzy, I think she is a good actress. I don’t get all the fuss over Hiddles. He is not God’s gift to women. To me he is Eddie #2.
As for the private life I don’t think they are a good match. But if it works for them, I wish them all the best. She does look pregnant to me, she has this glow and looks a bit fuller in the face.
Eddie? Reddy Eddie?
nooooooo, Tom can act for starters :-p
Actually, i dont mean that i really Eddie think he was marvelous in Theory of Everything. However, like Tom? nah. Their dress sense is very different, colouring and acting style are rather different.
Eddie can act just as well as Tom. They are both decent actors.
i was joking Mira – see follow up comment. Alhtough i cant write sentences very well on this keyboard…argh
I feel that way about Batches. I don’t get it.
Eddie #2 ? Oh god he’s a far cry from Eddie. If you can’t tell the difference between Tom and Eddie, I just don’t know what to say. Btw I’m not talking about acting. They’re both good actors with different strengths, imo. But when it comes to looks, Eddie doesn’t even rate.
Both are bo-ring. Their public behavior is so controlled and calculated, they never say anything controversial, always safe. They are complete blanks to me, nothing to get interested about.
Looks are superficial, I don’t care about looks. There has to be a spark of personality to illuminate the looks and for me it is not there.
@Farhi, Well TH may not say anything too controversial I’ll agree, but boring and no spark of personality? I don’t think you’ve seen much of Hiddles and how loony and unpredictable he’s been. This past year or two has been very tame compared to 2013 and earlier, but he’s had a lot of work lined up back to back, and he’s trying to be more serious now. After all he’s doing more serious roles now, not just Loki for the comic-con and MTV crowd.
Even when Tom is pretty tame and even boring, I still find him quite interesting cause he can be so earnest and almost naive and goes on and on without any inkling about time or staying on topic. He can go from sexy to cringe and back to adorable in the span of an interview. I’ve been quit bemused by him many times.
Sad though, I don’t think well see the days of 2011-2013 again. We must all change and grow (old), but he was definitely game for anything and totally delivered some doozies which I will continue to enjoy on YT.
If I might suggest some of these clips:

https://youtu.be/d3EpBo_OxQ8?t=1m51s
I’ve seen both MTV versions with Josh, they were all over tumblr. The one with Jessica is especially cringeworthy and fake. Boring. This is not a real Tom, he is just playing to the public.
I have a suspicion the real Tom is the one who overthinks everything, well educated, insecure, and likes to speak on philosophical topics and the meaning of life. But this is not what he sells, and I am not interested in buying the image he sells. Maybe when he grows up a little bit and is more comfortable with who he rally is I’ll take another look at him.
@Farhi, Well I don’t think you can have it both ways. I’m not saying I know what Tom is truly like, but I think we can all get pretty good idea, although not conclusive, based on many occasions and situations as we would of anyone.
Everyone has different sides to their persona. We’re not all one way all the time except when were being fake like you seem to be suggesting of TH. Yeah, he overthinks things, is ambitious and has insecurities, but I certainly don’t think that’s the sum total of who he is, not by a long shot. The idea that there’s just one “real” Tom is just an unrealistic standard that people tend to put on celebrities to judge them, imo.
I don’t think TH is selling anything that’s not par for the course. I think these are all parts of his personality as much as anything else is. He can be educated or over analytical and still be able to have fun and put it all out there. That’s why he’s an actor (of theater & film). I also think that this public persona that you say he’s selling is actually very real and has been that way since a child. That’s why it comes to him so easily, and that’s why I find him interesting because he seems to have many contrasting sides to him and they are all genuine and yet ultimately unknowable on a public level.
You don’t have to like him of course, but I truly don’t think he’s as manipulative as you suggest nor boring as per my links. Although I agree about the MTV video with Jessica being cringe-y and totally fake and silly, but they’re actors with a substantial MTV following.
You know what’s boring? Having one side of a personality. He’s shown us many sides, from cringey goofy and fun to professional and serious. He’s a team player but he knows how to steer the conversation back to what’s important. I’m glad for it. Human beings don’t fit into neat little boxes with neat labels. If he was what everyone wanted him to, THEN I’d find him boring. But he does what he wants and that displeases some people, then so be it.
@Farhi – “The one [MTV vid] with Jessica is especially cringeworthy and fake. Boring. This is not a real Tom, he is just playing to the public.”
Farhi I misread your comment. I totally agree with you on this point. This is not the real Tom or Jess for sure. The slumber party one from 2011 I think is a genuine “version” of Tom even though it’s all still playing to the public.
I realize you didn’t say he was “fake” about everything else. Yes we differ as to who he “really” is and whether he’s “selling” an image, but I just wanted to clear that up if I came off too strong. Sorry.
I think it is more a friends with benefits situation. There are plenty of sightings of them both doing things and not together.
The games are getting old though. He seems to old for this stuff.
I agree. It would be weird if they were together-together and hiding/lying for a YEAR now. No need for it, really.
In spite of the crazy overreactions? They know exactly what they’re doing.
What sightings Madly?
@Spidey Tom was spotted at the Donmar on a Sat night recently, woman who saw him posted on Twitter that he was alone. He was then seen at lunch, again apparently alone.
Sorry I misread Madly’s posts as sighting together. Puts specs firmly on nose.
you know couples don’t have to be joined at the hip. if you took pics of my life, you’d see me do lots of stuff without my boyfriend, but we’re very much together.
That’s kind of my theory. They hook up, are fwbs, or something like that, so they don’t really want to admit they are more than friends, but honestly, I think it would be smarter to publicly date, even if privately they aren’t really serious. I think it the current situation just makes the hardcore fans crazy out of curiosity. And being public would be a good PR move.
Nope, don’t agree with that. I think they’re right to keep it under wraps. Their both at crucial points in their careers and I think it’s more important, especially for Tom, to not be known as EOs bf or f-buddy. I don’t blame them at all. I wouldn’t want to be constantly defined by who I was dating or sleeping with every time I promoted my work or met with fans. It’s bad enough that he has to still get people to recognize him as other than Loki.
@cranberry
but that is the thing: no one in Hollywood cares about Olsen or Hiddleston. I know fans do not believe this but he is not a household name, Olsen is famous for her name, not for her acting. They are Marvel Stars but nothing more. So why staying in the background all the time when it comes to his ladies? Don’t get it.
He’s not a household name so why issue press releases on who he is dating? Frankly, I find it really annoying when people do make a big deal about dating someone.
This is exactly what I was saying to everyone on a earlier poat about celebs dating celebs and using each othe names f to be more famous… But i got attack for being called a stan or looney. I think Tom uses his celebrity veey well, if only another “celebrity” does the same and not be so shady, it would work out for them
i wish people stop making a fuss over nothing.
As for that dress, it’s ok tent dress, but her eye make up isnt good.
p’enny, that was the first thing I noticed in the close-up photos of her face (on another site, sorry CB). I suspect she did her own hair and make-up for this event. And if I’m wrong about the self-application, then the makeup artist needs to give her a refund. Not good.
I always thought the wing tip look works better on almond eyes rather than doe eyes. Doe eyes look amazing with mascara and eye shadow to define their shape.
Turns out I was wrong about the DIY hair and makeup – Lizzie’s usual hair guy is on Instagram taking credit for the hair and mentioning the makeup artist too. It just doesn’t look like a pro job to me.
The dress is a pretty color on her but the style isn’t very flattering, IMO. And I actually wouldn’t even mind the eye makeup if the eyeliner didn’t wing out like that, or if she weren’t wearing such a casual dress. I think the eye makeup might be too dressy/sexy for what she is wearing.
Everything is wrong on this look of her, but the shoes are great and she has killer legs.
If she isn’t why the unflattering dress? If she is, why not come out and say it? It’s all beyond childish.
Girl has poor taste in clothes.
Well, she is an Olsen…
Amen to that.
Their cloak and dagger routine is very childish and unnecessary. This pictorial evidence makes them both look ridiculous. There’s nothing wrong with two people fancying each other and spending time together. I don’t know why Tom has to be so weird about dating in the public eye. Plenty of other actors just go about their dating life in a normal way and without addressing it publicly. He should take notes from Fassbender.
Fassbender has played the on-off relationship card rather fast and furious over the years and the PR game as well. I really dont think he’s a good role model.
Tom obviously not ready for the red-carpet walking yet, i think hes really fed-up with the teeny-tiny fans who think too much and want to know everything. he wants the focus on the films.
And, lets be honest this relationship isnt going to last. which is another reason why Hiddles probably doesnt want to go overboard with red carpet announcements. She and He have said, career comes first. I bet they are both expecting to crumble pretty fast. He has a brain for starters, their conversation must be pretty limited :-p
You must not read the Fassbender/Alicia posts. Everyone seems convinced that everyone else is shady all the time.
And now I kind of almost hope she is pregnant just cause the ensuing fan fallout would be spectacular.
Oooh Penny burn! Yeah she’s not exactly the intellectual is she?
From what they’ve both said they are friends though (prob with benefits 😉
i just don’t get why fans expect actors to be upfront about their relationships, whenever it’s absolutely well known that if they do date publicly their privacy gets completely invaded? they’re not the first couple keeping it quiet, tons are like that. there are even examples of actual married couples who still refuse to talk about their oh, or pose together on the red carpet.
P’enny, I’m referring to the fact that Fassbender actually does things in public with his girlfriend. They vacation together, eat out, go to music festivals, go to the races, attend events together, visit each others families — just like normal couples do. I have no problem with the fact that he doesn’t talk about his relationship with journos. He doesn’t need to.
But I’m not in the camp that thinks Fassy & Alicia are a PR couple. I think they’re the real deal, but probably won’t last.
“Fassbender actually does things in public with his girlfriend”
Agree with you there. That is what makes me think Hiddles is a player because he seems to behave like those guys in college who hide their relationships and have a new girl every other week. Strictly for sex. And then discard her. Something is not right when one holds up Fassy as an example of a proper boyfriend. ))
P’enny, of course it’s not going to last. But the statement that he wants folks to only focus on his films falls flat in light of the pap walks. No way in hell where they “caught” in London. Taking Lizzy to a cafe he’s known to frequent (where he’s been stalked) and then to the Wolseley was a deliberate publicity move, especially in light of the festering rumors during the previous two months. Tom is rarely photographed when he’s out and about in London and he knows how to keep his ladies out of public view. That time he chose not to — twice — when their Oscar-buzzed film was weeks away from it’s big premier.
Farhi, I don’t know as much about Fassy except that he had a couple of year-long (?) relationships with co-stars prior to Alicia. The fact that they appear to still be going strong more than a year later tells me it’s not PR.
I don’t think THEO is PR either. I think they’re friends who have moved into the FWB realm and that they are using it for some press. Both of them benefited from the advanced publicity prior to TIFF, but nowadays, I think she’s got more of a PR agenda with it since she’s been out of work for awhile and nothing coming up in the near future. She gets PR and he gets a young, curvy beautiful woman showing up on his doorstep ready to rumble in the sheets. What man would say no to that??
@Farhi
So let me get this right. You’re saying Tom Hiddleston needs to mislead, lie and play games with women to get them to sleep with him?
I think you’ve called Tom is a player before, but you’ve never given any juice to back it up. That’s a pretty harsh label to put on some that you’ve got no real facts to even suggest that of his character. A “Player” reputation is not a secret that can be kept. That’s the whole point. Someone gets the reputation of being a Player because everyone knows they bounce around from woman to woman lying and/misleading them. If TH was a player, it would already have been out there in all the gossip sites and rags. In the time of smart phones, most any public thing Tom does is put up on social media instantly. So if he was a player, someone would have found out by now, either a woman he used or her friends. Someone would have dished it all out by now. So don’t confuse someone who casually dates and sleeps with women for someone who lies and misleads women for sex or ego games. It’s not the same at all.
Whoa that’s Erin moriarty in the pics. She’s in skull island.
No it isn’t. That’s Lizzy’s mouth in the top left photo and the trademark Olsen duckface in the bottom right. It also coincides with the timing of the twitter sightings.
Others here have pointed out that this snap was taken the night of the laser tag outing and Erin’s IG indicated she was not in Hawaii during that time.
Yet others who were at the laser tag outing are not in the picture. Nobody knows when the picture was taken.
The pic was probably taken at the laser tag night (had a quick look at another pic in Jordan Vs Instagram and he’s wearing the same shirt). In any case it was taken sometime during the HI shoot).
Laser Tag night is the most likely, imo. In any event, it was probably taken before Dec 4th – John Ortiz left Hawaii that day, and he is in the photos.
This is a bit like the emperor’s new clothes, I see one small blurred face in the corners that looks like Lizzie & others of the same girl that look so much less like her. Most commenters seem to think it is so it has become internet fact. Her or not I find it odd she would join a cast & crew outing if they are on the down low. Whether they are or are not together it must be increasingly awkward for them if they pay any attention to the gossip, truth will out eventually I’m sure.

Meh. That dress is beyond fug but everything designed by Stella is, so no big deal. I like Tom regardless of who he is hooking up with, or whether they date/get married whatever. I just hope he doesn’t go down the crazy route Ben took last year. (On the plus side he has no Oscar to shill for so hopefully they won’t try to make this into the GRAND love story of our times.) She broke off with her fiancee and hooked up with Tom, not admirable but it’s her life.
“She broke off with her fiancee and hooked up with Tom, not admirable but it’s her life.”
I mean, if I was her, I’d do the same 😛
jammy,
I’m ashamed to say it but me too. Same.
Tom annoys the sh-t out of me with his hide and seek routine (I guess I can’t blame him) but DAMN he’s so hot.
@Kate, well we’ll differ on that opinion :P. I do think he’s hiding, but mostly because he probably hates the intrusion, not necessarily playing any games.
I’m with you Jammypants. I don’t think he’s playing games at all. What’s in it for him to do that? and playing games for or to who? I’m not completely convinced with this latest IG pic, but if THEO is a thing, I think EO wants in under wraps possibly more than Tom. I don’t blame them for going stealth with their ship for a little personal privacy – IF that’s what they’re actually doing.
Allegedly
Love those shoes!
I do too!
Yawn!
Couldn’t have put it better myself.
its boring, very boring. people are over-reading a couple of tit-bits in american mags and the daily mail fiasco. when it comes to playing PR games then look at Madonna and Ritchie, that is a mess. That is personal PR play in the press.
Now, now ladies, let people have their fun. It is a gossip site, remember.
Sorry, just sipping my Earl Grey and waiting for some actual something more interesting than the endless speculations and accusations.
Aw man, now I’m doing it! You know yawning is contagious!
Is Lily Collins pregnant too?
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3397112/Joanne-Froggatt-looks-chic-white-mini-dress-mingles-Lily-Collins-fashion-pack-LA-fashion-party.html
No.
But you see what I mean – about the style of “dress” she is wearing too?
Add me to the not preggo, she’s a notoriously bad dresser camp. Plus since she soooo obviously working sooo hard on her career, when would she have time for all that parenting requires? Lol!? Oh wait just hire a nice young nanny…..*snort*
Considering she wore what looked like tablecloth to a TIFF event, something similar to a friends wedding and a lab technician get up recently I think I’ll agree with you on that one.
Has anyone noticed her feet and ankles, they look purple?
Yes her feet are jacked up and legs look slightly bruised. Wandering through the jungle of HI in fugly shorts and sandals, perhaps? Lol
“obviously working so hard on her career” What career?
Stella’s designs are never flattering on anyone.
they really never are. it’s beyond me how she’s so popular.
Nepotism
TH’s bday is coming up. If she is in Australia for his bday, that would be pretty solid proof. It’s a long way to fly for just a friendship. Time will tell. THEO will be promoting ISTL in March so they’ll get the questions for sure.
Yeah, I’m looking forward to the promos for ISTL and whether they play things any differently in public or whether they’ll give the same kind of responses they gave at TIFF.
I’m stocking up on the popcorn and Pervy Tombanger ingredients in the meantime…
“Tombanger” – like the sound of that. Could definitely go for one of those. Wait, who am I kidding, I could go for lots of those. lol 😉
Re these fashions shows – as I don’t know how it works, do the actresses turn up and get given clothes to wear on the night? Do they have a choice as to what they wear? Because if she chose to wear that herself, I don’t think much of her choice of bra to go with it.
Hahaha so much for the ” we are just friends” bull…. I hate childish games. Same old Hiddles. Playing the there is nothing to talk about card and then boom. I for one also think that they banged each other during filming. Doesn’t speak for her and not for him. They deserve each other. For all the hiding, probably cheating, the lie and Pap Walk… Oh Hiddles…. Of all women you chose Olsen. Laughable. And leaves a very bad taste for ISTL. He put his soul into the role…. Hahaha more into his pants.
To be fair, maybe there isn’t something to write home about if it’s friends with benefits. Who airs that kind of laundry you know? You don’t see Leo proclaim he’s banging someone. If it’s only gotten serious the past few weeks after months of sexy times, then whatever they said to deny back then doesn’t become invalidated now.
EXACTLY, @jammypants! I would reveal the name/identity of a friend with benefits only to a very few trusted individuals, and only if it were contextually relevant. The idea that adults are beholden to OTHER ADULTS to reveal casual encounters and relationships BOGGLES MY MIND. Why would anyone with any pretenses of adulthood admit to feeling entitled to know about a relationship which has been influenced from its presumed beginning by the vast distance between the two parties and their work schedules? The only time I have wondered as to whether or not the relationship might be serious enough to warrant its disclosure to the public was when they were photographed by the paparazzi in London at a restaurant that has been described as a place at which photographers are known to be. Beyond that, I am happy to satisfy myself with speculation and guesswork when the boredom of my own life becomes burdensome. That fact that there is fodder for that speculation and guesswork doesn’t entitle me to any official information.
Velvet, Crushed –
Going to The Wolseley is not what you do when you want to keep your FWB status out of the press. As a Londoner, Tom knew full well what he was doing when he took his rumored hookup there. In that instance, they were looking for some column inches just ahead of ISTL’s TIFF premier.
Don’t forget that back in July their film had Oscar buzz around it. We haven’t seen any more pap walks after the film fell under the critic’s guillotine at TIFF.
Nutballs,
Even if the pap walk at the Wolseley was for PR, that still doesn’t mean they owe the public or fans, any disclosure of their sex life. And even if they’re fwb, they’re still friends and colleagues that have every right to go to diner with each other without confirming any rumors or gossip. You might be right that THEO are together or fwb, but it’s still all speculation really. But happy hunting and pass me a Pervy Tombanger.
Cranberry, The point I’m making is not that they owe anyone an explanation, but that if they really wanted to keep their fling out of the spotlight, then they wouldn’t have done the pap walks prior to TIFF.
Mr. Date-Under-The-Radar doesn’t suddenly start waltzing down the street with his arm around his reported lover and take her to dinner at a known pap hangout unless he wants attention. That’s what I’m saying. When it comes to using their fling for PR, they’re both guilty.
If they really wanted to boink without people knowing then take the leaked rumor and pap walks out of the equation and there’s nothing left to criticize. It’s the putting it out there for people to see then acting like nothing’s going on that bugs me. It’s disingenuous.
@BALLES-AUX-NOIX — I think the fact that they were almost certainly seeking attention deliberately doesn’t change the fact that the audience is still not entitled to know the nature of their relationship. My guess is that they are occasionally friends with benefits, who are both ambitious enough to front as though something more serious might be occurring, and get along well enough for the short spurts of time required to act it out convincingly. I don’t think outings, no matter how visible, require explanations. I don’t enjoy hearing of publicity antics (I am repulsed by them, actually,) but it doesn’t surprise me that moderately successful, ambitious actors use it to further their careers.
“”@BALLES-AUX-NOIX “” Haha love it Velvet.
PANNE-DE-VELOURS, I agree.
This comment just reminds me of the people harassing Jordan Vogt-Roberts on Instagram, yikes.
Harassing? Me? Nope. Seriously it just leaves a very bad taste. He can be with anyone who he wants to be but just be honest. No one said that he should have said: Yeah I am banging her….. Why not: I do not want to talk about this…. Why the friends card? Because he was not sure? Because she was not sure? Then tell your PR guy that no one should ask personal questions. It is very easy you know. And if someone still asks then be honest. Bohoooo. If they are dating…. Good for them. Hiddles is not the perfect guy everyone thanks he is. He will parade her if he gets the PR…
@Guest, they were only ever publicly asked once about their romance, during TIFF.
I never thought he was perfect. But he is yummy!
@jammypants
As Nutballs once said: if you are not a thing why not denying it straight away like Jessica chastain did? Why waiting till Toronto, getting bad reviews for the movie itself and then saying something? I honestly do not get the reference to Evans and Renner then. Well. How should have changed anything within two months after Toronto while he was promoting the hell for CP? But hey she is banging the right guy it seems. And no hate. Really. I do not want to harrass anyone but I am so sick of people who are saying one thing but doing the opposite. No one says he should make everything public but geez…
But here comes the but: holy he does look incredible these days… Wow.
@Guest, I’m of the camp that thinks their romance is not PR (well Olsen’s camp is a bit more questionable since she’s not working and seems to have more time…I’m suspicious of her involvement). Their movie isn’t great anyways so the supposed effort they put into via the all-encompassing, ominous “PR” is really projection from over invested fans. If they are sex buddies, it’s not exactly something to broadcast or confirm, and quite frankly, it’s no one’s business but their own. How would people like them to confirm because they are sick of said “games” of two casual sex buddies (who may like each other more now)?
Tommy: “Fine. We’re having sex and for a good year now.”
EO: “I like his dick and I have too much time, so I like chasing him around the globe to get some of that.”
Tommy: “Her boobs fit my criteria for an attractive, mate-able female, and dem legs man.”
EO: “I like British dong. Have you heard his sex voice?”
Tommy: “Good times. Can’t wait to skip the globe trotting and just do it in the trailers for Infinity Wars.”
EO: “Cosplay sex.”
Tommy: “Can’t wait to share this with the grandkids. Loki and Scarlet Witch bending reality.”
EO: “Mindbending, magical sex.”
@Jammy
I also don’t think it is just PR. May be both of it. I think these two lied and are banging each other since ISTL 🙂 And I laughed so hard when I read your comment. I guess you are right. But would you travel around the world just a for a d***? She could have anyone I guess.
@jammy, I just spilt my tea while reading your comment… That’s actually a pretty interesting dialogue,… 😉
*laughing s hard right now…)
@jammy, your comment is amazing. “Cosplay sex” — hahaha!
Scarlet Witch better be careful of Loki’s horn(s).
@jammy: Thank you for making my afternoon.
@guest, he’s probably her human catnip.
Glad to be of service ladies 😉
jammypants, Colin is bringing you an entire pitcher of martinis.
@jammy
Encore ! Encore !
This script should have won the GG. For sure Ricky would’ve approved.
Damn jammy! Why’d you have to mention Tom’s sex voice? That’s going to drive me nuts. I’d definitely fly around the globe to hear that 😉
@Cranberry, I couldn’t help but to stoke the fires of hate lust coming off strong in here 😉
Would she be pregnant with dragon…larvae? Oh, grossed myself out on that one. I will cackle with glee if she is knocked up. I want a velvet birthing couch.
I mean, I’m not a doctor, but my understanding is that she would walk into a fire, Khaleesi-style, and after the flames burned away she’d be sitting there unharmed, with three curly blonde baby dragonflies perched on her shoulders and lap, snakehipping and quoting Shakespeare at her.
*giggle-snort*
I’d watch that show. Or at least I’d watch it for a few years until something terrible happened to an entirely unrelated character.
ROFL!!! I can’t!!!
The dress is unflattering and she could be pregnant – or not. Who knows? But if she is, why doesn’t she just say so, and if it’s Hiddles’ doing, what is the damn problem with just coming out with it for both of them? What are they waiting for, the birth announcement?! Do they really think the rest of the world gives a hoot?! Unless, of course, it’s Abrams’ and TH is just the decoy . . . nah, too farfetched. Out with it, girls and boys: we really will get on with our lives! Promise!
Not too far fetched at all. They were more together at TIFF than THEO were. And if she is and it turned out to be Marc’s that would be a huge case for TH to be thinking/saying “I told you we weren’t”
Or they don’t think the rest of the world gives a hoot and no announcements are necessary.
I think invested fans are making it bigger than it actually is, this so-called “game” that is.
“girls and boys: we really will get on with our lives! Promise!”. You can’t get on with your life now when they won’t tell you their relationship status?
No – we can get on with our lives now and even if we find out THEO is a Real Thing. Clear now?
Here’s the thing women with breasts usually can’t wear a totally shapeless dress or tunic, because you run the risk of looking pregnant. Doesn’t matter if you are thin or not, your breasts just make the dress jut out giving you the pregnancy look. Now this dress is so shapeless it is making a not really large breasted woman look like she could be pregnant. Great job Stella who is this dress for Jaden Smith?
I agree. I myself have this very problem as soon as I put anything on shaped like this, I instantly look preggo.
I just wanna see this for the sake of all the crazy dragonflies out there. Tom and Lizzie may as well be together but they have not been “playing games” with fans or with the present, they have only been photographed together once! And I’m honestly starting to believe that they were caught and it wast planned. But either ways, ONCE in a whole year. Twitter sightings are not pr plants and the director or a big budget film posting a picture on Instagram isn’t a part of an evil scheme to rile up tumblr fans. Perspective people!
And before someone mentions rumors on whatever shady websites, more than 90% of these are rehashed from other websites or just made up for online clicks.
If THEO really wanted to use the relationship for pr they would be photographed every other day together not hiding. This looks more like two people trying to be private and not succeeding. And after the debacle on JVR’s Instagram I honestly don’t blame either of them.
Perspective seems to be totally lost. There’s also a rather bizarre sense of entitlement. Come up on the veranda and enjoy some refreshments.
I’m just stunned reading this thread. It’s like the beginning of the Cumberbaby speculation. There’s so much “well nobody cares” immediately contrasted with “If you’re pregnant TELL US – STOP HIDING” in so many comments, it’s almost funny.
It always weirds me out when people become so invested in other people’s wombs, especially when claiming they don’t care. If I was a celeb I’d hide it too.
For now, I’m just going to sit back and watch – this could get very amusing.
And simply not saying anything at all equals “lying and hiding and playing games.”
@MexicanMonkey you mean in their off time? It’s 3 times now; the candid pic in London, the Night of the Living Paps (strangely enough a few days after) and now this pic of a cast social sometime during the HI shoot.
I agree about the pr though, though it may have been used doesn’t mean there isn’t something going on and now every sighting is being called out as pr by invested fans, which is nonsense. Whatever it was/is has gone under the radar.
Tom was spotted arriving at LAX last week and there were fan pics and no mention of Lizzie at all.
Exactly. How is the candid sneak pic in London PR? or JVR instagram picture highlighting good times with friends and coworkers? Are THEO even that important for anyone outside of fans to even care? Nope.
@MexicanMonkey, I actually see it the same way too. The deer in headlights look on both their faces back in July did not look inviting one bit. Calling this whole thing a PR move is silly, imo.
People spend so much time talking about ‘sightings’ of people together as proof of a relationship, as if spending time with someone socially automatically means you’re having sex with them.
Yet in real life most of us are quite capable of hanging out socially with friends and co-workers a few times a year without banging them. It’s kind of weird.
Precisely. And even if they are banging, what’s the big deal?
@jammypants, and many fans don’t care. I know I don’t.
Ditto.
Yes yes yes to this.
Yes to all of you, Monkey, Lilac, Jammy, KTE, Becky and Erinn with the cute icon.
If I forgot anybody please forgive me, I left my speech in my . . . oh wait, not the Golden Globes. Sorry.
I long for the days when this website wasn’t so blatantly click-baity. Wow.
NB: Tom is too much of a control freak to accidentally get someone pregnant, I’d wager. A child means the attention would no longer be ALLLLL on him, after all. 😉
Oh, I know Tom’s married to his career, but he’s really good with children. When he’s around kids he really engages with them and gives them a lot of attention. There’s some adorable videos on YT and there’s also the accounts of Mark Ruffalo’s son who could not get enough of Tom throughout the shooting of Avengers. After watching him with kids I truly believe Tom really wants children, maybe not right now but I think very soon.
That’s the one thing I worry about with the idea of THEO. When it comes to love and validation, Tom is susceptible to taking the quickest, surest path instead of risking a long, lonely wait to find someone truly compatible to have a family with. I feel his infatuation with EO, a pretty, glamorous, young american actress, might tempt him to seal the deal if he thought he might have his own family sooner than later. Then he would have it all: the trophy wife, forever famous (at least by marriage) on both sides of the Atlantic, beautiful children — yup, very tempting. Good thing EO is also focused on her career and probably doesn’t want to have kids anytime soon.
And yeah, totally agree with the blatant click-baiting. So obvious, even if I did just completely run away with the idea.
My opinion? Wearing that dress was a little baity. Not a style I’ve seen her in. Interesting timing with ‘oops’ photos from Hawaii and sighting in London over the holiday. Gearing up for ISTL promo and Marvel…
McCartney has said she makes her dresses roomy for moms like herself that have had (multiple) pregnancies and no longer have a flat stomach.
There’s roomy and there’s huge! 🙂
‘Baity’?!
Oh, sure, she deliberately picked a loose dress so that people would speculate that she’s pregnant, because women love being told that so much….
I dont’ see any sign of a “bump”. All I notice, as usual, is she’s had plastic surgery recently. She looks completely different.
I agree completely that her face does look quite different, but I think it’s a result of her makeup not having been professionally done. It was noted upthread that her eye-makeup is not very detailed or symmetrical, and, to me, the foundation/contouring work results in her face catching the light in unusual ways.
YES! I’ve been scrolling to see if anyone else mentioned her face. I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed that something has been recently tweaked. If she were preggo (I’m in the no camp), that might explain the fuller looking face. My first thought was an obvious dose of cheek fillers that haven’t settled in yet.
No, I dont think she look pregnant…. yet. A Hiddleston/Olsen baby would be so cute.
I think the only reason she looks “pregnant: is because its a sack like dress.
Didn’t she look pregnant last Oct when she’s wearing a loose sweater to one of the ISTL screening? Maybe she just like wearing loosely fit clothes. She also wears her sisters’ brand pretty often, which means her fashion sense isn’t that good to say the least.
But full disclosure, I hope she’s pregnant, I also look forward to seeing the meltdown of those overinvested fans and how they cry the injustice, that they don’t deserve not being told their king is in love but not with them.
You mean their prince, right? As in virginal prince charming riding in on a unicorn.
These two are obviously just getting together every now and then and humping each other. They are together so infrequently. She is probably one of many that Tom is humping. Jordan’s photos were taken on the night they were at laser tag. And Tom was seen a lot around Honolulu by himself. There were some hardcore stalkers down there, and they said they never saw her with him. Just like in London, they were seen together that one weekend, and then Tom was out going to the theater by himself, eating out alone. At TIFF they wouldn’t even sit together at their premiere. She was hanging all over Marc Abram. They showed up at the other parties at different times. They aren’t talking about it because most likely there is nothing to talk about. Two grown ass adults, who are friends, that get together, have fun, and hump each other. When I was in the military, I had quite a few guys on speed dial that I would hit up depending on where I was. We would get together, hang out with our friends, go out on a date or two, spend a couple days going at it, and then go along our way till the next time. I didn’t run and tell everyone about it. There was nothing to tell. If this has supposedly been going on for almost a year, they would be seen together more frequently……and they wouldn’t have a problem with it. It’s most likely just f**k buddies. That man is probably humping way more than just Olsen.
Oh, and for the naysayers…..it is also possible for two people of the opposite sex to be close friends without humping each other. It’s possible for them to be close enough as friends to visit one another in different locations without it being romantic. None of their sightings have been overly affectionate. Not spotted holding hands or kissing or anything like. Just saying…..it is possible. But more than likely they are just having some fun and humping. Tom looks more interested in his cast mates in Jordan’s photos than he does in Lizzie being there.
I like the way you think.
I heard that all before somewhere…
hahaha my thought as well. I swear I will laugh my ass off if he really knocked her up. Boom. Same story happened last year *whistles* the meltdown will be EPIC….
Except Lizzie was out at a nightclub two nights ago. So it’s highly unlikely.
I like this idea. Also think it might b pe more her than him. She seems to be globe trotting to get to him and he gets a few weeks off and…doesn’t go see her. It’s like she shows up and, being the dude that he is, is like, um..ok. Sure. Why not?
I don’t see anything on IMDB for her except ISTL and Civil War. I guess she has to keep her schedule open in order to chase Hiddleston all over North America and the rest of the world.
Thank you. Very well said, and now lets talk about your time in the military.
Like, “spend a couple days going at it” – sounds like good times ;-P
Lovely color and fabric, poor fit. Why is her bra hanging out ? Liked the shoe style, the color not so much.
All actors play the PR game with their relationships or non-relationships–who cares really ? I think they look good together. Best to relax and see what unfolds– if anything. Am not sure any actor would be easy to live with, it’s a crazy lifestyle.
She looks kinda grungy to me, and sort of out of it. Well, just my opinion.
I thought the same thing when I saw the photos. I may sometimes quibble with her fashion choices, but she’s usually much more put together at events than she is here.
Erm has anyone reached out to EO or TH teams for a confirmation? Come on even The Daily Fail even reach out to the reps before posting Trollish things like this.
I know there was rumours of her wearing baggy jumpers and hiding her front behind big bags from photos of her in Dec but at the same time she’s appeared wearing fitting clothes showing her flat tummy during the same month.
All I see is a woman wearing a loose fitting dress. Without a confirmation denial or no comment on personal life from their reps I take it for what this story is- Awful trolling and click bait.
I don’t think TH would hide a GF even for privacy as it would highlight it even more and make crazy fans even more intrusive . Go with the flow you know?
Peace out my friends X
LOLing at the Daily Fail confirming their stories…
Bad dress. Stella’s career never would have happened without her connections and famous friends willing to wear that stuff.
I have zero opinion about them as a couple. Or individually really.
Off the Olsen topic, but far more interesting to me, High-Rise has received a nomination for Best Picture in the Evening Standard Film Awards.
And will be released in the US on 13 May apparently.
So he’ll have three projects releasing in three months, here in the US at least — ISTL in March, TNM in April and HR in May. That’s going to trigger another Tommy Tsunami, methinks.
I’m happy to say that I can now watch BBC iPlayer, so I plan to catch TNM when it premiers in Feb in the UK. Using my free week of unblock-us service to catch the new Luther, And Then There Were None and War and Peace, now that I’ve seen all the movies I need to see for now…
What about the Baftas? No nomimation? Meh. I mean why didn’t they publish the movie earlier? Pretty sure it would have been a contender…..
Not eligible for the BAFTAs this year because of the release date. But will be eligible next year.
Nice to see Rolling Stone promoting it as one to watch.
@lilacflowers Thanks for the High Rise update. On the one hand May 13 seems so far away, on the other it’s close to my birthday, so yay me. And it’s nice that it’s spaced out from ISTL and TNM, so that we can have 3 months of TH rather than having everything all jammed together.
As for THEO, I can’t understand how people can see the major kerfluffle everytime there’s an article about them and hen wonder why they’d want to keep whatever relationship they have–be it “just friends,” fwb, or a true romantic pairing–quiet. TH seems to have created some strong boundries between his work and his private life in the last few years and I think that it’s a wise decision on his part for the preservation of his sanity.
Yup this. And many of us would do the same thing in their place.
High-rise received ES award nomination for production design, too. I am glad the film got some recognition.
I have no clue about their relationship status, but they definitely used it to promote their film for a little while.
All celeb ladies seem to stand pigeon toed these days. Is it supposed to have a flattering effect on your legs?
Looks as though they need the loo!
hahaha
Are we even sure that photo wasn’t photoshopped? It looks photoshopped to me as she doesn’t look like she belongs somehow. Like…I don’t know…she was just added haphazardly?
Why should a director post a photoshopped picture on his instagram account? *scratches head* It is Olsen. I saw the picture for a couple of seconds and recognized her by return.
Just a thought @guest. No need to bite ones head off. She just seemed out of place in the photos. Maybe because she’s the only one that’s wearing a sweater in Hawai’i.
And I don’t think her stance is giving the preggo look here. I’ve seen her in tentish dresses before, and she’s not looked wide.
I had wondered that but couldn’t understand why JVR would do it.
For the record, I DON’T think the pics are photoshopped. Having said that, it is a little odd that she didn’t show up in any of the Lazer Tag pics before now. And I began considering the kind of energy and humour coming out of this crew–the pranking, the goofing off in videos and message postings–and it suddenly doesn’t seem entirely outside the realm of possibility that JVR decided to (or was talked into) pranking/teasing Tom.
Which changes absolutely nothing, but is yet another theory to consider when we’re bored waiting for Night Manager.
Heh. 🙂
As for the preggo rumour, she does look a bit glowy, I even see a bit of slope to her form under that dress (she’s wider). Frankly, her cheeks are fuller too (she looks better with a bit of weight on her).
And I’ve seen better Stella fashion before. She made a line of ladies trousers that were brilliant.
She always looks a bit Preggo though, cause she stands with her stomach out. It’s a very unflattering stance.
Yeah, there’s always been something off about her posture &/or composure. I think when she’s acting she might correct it and looks good, but otherwise either her clothes make her body look odd or she just can’t hold herself up well. I think she has some body issues. She’s a little busty and maybe developed early and coupled with all the media attention run off of her sisters makes her tend to hide behind her clothes.
Meh. She always dresses like she’s wearing a tent. The only thing shocking about this is, it’s not black. *shock*
I do have to laugh at recent bleatings in gossip rags about how much she wants to concentrate on her career. I didn’t realise Hiddles was the one in charge of these auditions. 😉
I wonder if it bothers her her peers like Brie Larson are getting accolades and she is not. She has to reduce herself to following Hiddles wherever he is? Sad. I am sick of this rearing it’s ugly head whenever ISTL is mentioned too… hope someone hires her soon and this albatross of a film can finally be put to rest.
It’s too bad the hookup stuff distracted from their work in ISTL, but since it’s not a great film to begin with (their performances notwithstanding), perhaps that distraction is a way of selling an inferior product.
I do feel bad for Tom because he put so much work into it, going so far as to look deathly ill during Nov/Dec 2014. It must be more than a bit frustrating that all of this crap keeps detracting from the film – and it mostly comes from her camp too. “EO doesn’t want to be seen in public with TH” “EO wants to concentrate on her career”. Meanwhile, he still tries desperately to get people focusing on the film (see his FB posts whenever things go south in his personal life). It is one big disaster. Shame.
Heather before you go putting the lion’s share of blame on Lizzy (which may be valid, post-TIFF), Tom agreed to do two very public outings with her after their rumored affair had been leaked to tabloids. So any pretense of wanting privacy looks disingenuous to me. It also pointed the finger at her PR team as the source of the leaked hookup rumor. He knows how to stay under the radar and he chose not to, plain and simple.
This tells me that Tom will use his private life for PR if it achieves a particular aim, in this case, advance publicity for his Oscar-buzzed film as every article written about THEO referenced ISTL. Post-TIFF, he doesn’t need to use it for that purpose anymore, so no more pap walks, no more obvious grabs for attention.
I would agree that the silly gossip articles that have come out of nowhere recently, (ie “Lizzy broke up with him to focus on her career”} does look like something driven by her publicist.
Someone suggested somewhere else that Lizzy’s people heard about the Boyd article and freaked out and that is where the break up articles came from.
That’s absurd. Please do not speak for everyone. The man is so private, we can only guess his favorite color is blue based on his interview/red carpet wardrobe. And no, the only ones distracted from the good work put into ISTL are those who are interested in their private lives. I do not feel distracted from their performances in ISTL at all. I was mesmerized by his Hank and her Audrey. What disaster are you inferring? The only disaster I see is the trainwreck of a script and confusing direction of the film.
Although I will agree that the gossip PR angle seems to be coming from her camp.
I’ll never understand that interview with ISTL director Marc Abraham back in September , when he said, “I teased Tom one day when someone was writing about it. I said ‘Dude, I would pay people to write that I was having an affair with Elizabeth Olsen’. He said ‘Yeah, but you ain’t me.’ But I was just trying to keep him light so he didn’t worry about it.” Why would Tom be worrying about rumors of him and EO being romantically involved? Why would Marc Abraham even mention this in an interview?
@jammy I wasn’t speaking for everyone, just calling it like *I* am seeing it. Perhaps I should have put “IMO” somewhere in my comment. Will know better for next time..
@erica, I found that interview to be almost disturbing. The kindest thing one might say of someone who would utter something so stupid and inappropriate is that they would be confident enough to produce a terrible screenplay. The ick-factor is, of course, amplified by the photos of Abraham and Olsen holding hands at TIFF. I realize a directer who would be invested in fanning the flames of any rumor of a liaison between co-stars would find a passive-aggressive means of doing so, but reading this particular snippet of that interview gave me shivers.
Aren’t we all talking from our personal point of view and perspective? When I watched the love scene between Tom and Lizzy, I was wonder just how much “acting” those two were doing, wondering if they had already started an affair when filming that scene. So for me, the THEO gossip was distracting to my experience of seeing the film.
Panne de Velours, I thought Marc’s comments were very weird and the hand-holding to be fanbaity as well as disturbing. Directors don’t normally comment on their lead actor’s liaisons; it’s not professional or their place to do so. He gave me “creepy old man” vibes.
I was hesitant to declare my own impression of “creepy old man vibes,” so I am relieved to read your impression first.
Well there’s also the simple possibility that she simply has put on some weight. Not working, hanging out and overindulging in thanksgiving/xmas goodies can have that effect. Maybe it just shows in her face/stomach. Not being a jerk but it happens like that sometimes.
They are totally together and they don’t owe anyone a shred of information. I do find it odd that she has no movie in development as she is in high demand. So……
She’s in ‘high demand’?? LOL, I must have missed that memo.
Perhaps she has no movie in development because *whispers* she is just not that great an actress. 😉
High demand? Have you seen her IMDB? She hasn’t worked since finishing Civil Wars last June. Right now, all she has is Marvel and she’s a minor character in that cinematic world.
Once she’s done promoting Civil Wars, she’s out of the spotlight for a scary long time unless she gets busy soon. which is unfortunate — I thought she was great in Martha Marcy May Marlene.
She’s lucky to have the financial resources to be “selective”, if that’s what is going on. Or maybe she just doesn’t have the blinding ambition and hustle required to break through. I do think she’s a good enough actress to be working steadily, or at least more often, if that’s what she really wanted.
I understand not wanting to take a job just to be working – some of the roles out there are pretty crappy, and probably not worth the paycheck – but I also get the sense she enjoys living a leisurely life – travel, shopping, parties, cooking classes, etc. I don’t blame her for that, sounds like fun to me.
She’s based in LA, he lives in London and has a packed filming schedule, they’ve been spotted infrequently, totally together doesn’t make sense, is FWB more likely
High demand? She has no projects as of yet other than ISTL and Civil War. Also Tom was in LA and everyone thought he was there for her. He was there with Hugh Laurie and the cast of The Night Manager for TCA 2016. Don’t assume anything….
As a complete aside I wonder why a certain site has locked her tumblr blog against non-tumblrs?
What and whose tumbler blog might I ask?
TOBY
Maybe she’s concerned about being identified (which would be hilarious)
Fear of reality? That thing still exists?
Well she was getting some of her venom thrown back at her when I last looked, all about an alleged cease and desist she is supposed to have received from Tom. And how she “knew” he had visited her blog from the IP address. 🙄
@Spidey I saw that too, cease and desist my arse. That blog is such a mess, she posts something that makes little sense, then she gets all defensive when it gets questioned. If she really did get a c&d it would have gone to tumblr and they would have warned her or shut the blog down. And IP trackers aren’t known to be accurate, within 5 miles at best.
What a hoot! And the truly clueless probably believe. When I last checked that site, about a year ago when she was pooh-poohing computer forensics AND claiming that nobody had ever/would ever contact her legally. The reality is that any complaints would go to Tumblr and Tumblr would just pull the plug, as it did to Torilla.
I love it when people blame IP bans without an inkling what IPs are.
It’s just as well. Some of the stuff posted on that blog was really intrusive and inflammatory, bordering on/crossing over into libel. A C&D would have been more than appropriate in that case.
It must be awful to be a celebrity with a brand and have absolutely NO control over what is said about you on the Internet. It’s creepy and weird and invasive, and there should be an entirely new set of Internet laws that establish copyright/brand protection and prohibit that exact sort of thing.
Becky your first sentence says it all. Since her !00% reliable (libellous!) source turned out to be nothing of the sort she has had nothing to say except get nasty with posters who don’t agree with her.
Re IP addresses – according to mine I am around 8 miles away from home! That would be and awful lot of people in London. 🙂
She has her blog blocked now so you have to sign it to see it. lol ha
The viciousness towards other women, including the libelous and disgusting accusations hurled at someone just because she dared to go on vacation with an actor the blogger claims to have no interest in, were truly disturbing.
Clearly, Tom has two choices. Stop being so “childish,,” and start releasing daily press updates on all interactions he has with women, complete with video. Or, join a religious order that requires a vow of celibacy and release daily updates on that.
bravo!
Ha! As an aside, I can’t see all the comments. Suggestions on what to do? Thanks.
@ twilly have you tried another browser?
haahaa. Daily updates on a celibacy vow could get pretty pervy. ;P
No more than daily video updates of every single interaction with every woman he encounters, but, clearly, reading through many of the posts above that is what many here require, they will accept nothing less, and his failure to comply is so very childish
@Lilac Yes, I’m with you on that. Many posts above beg the question as to who is actually being childish.
TH’s Daily Celibacy Update: Day 36
Hello darlings! I continue to be successful in avoiding all sexual contact with others. I greatly appreciate the support of my fans during this trying time.
Side question: Does dancing vigorously in one’s leather Loki pants to create friction while gazing at a picture of Shakespeare’s First Folio constitute a breach of a celibacy vow? Asking for a friend.
@EnnuiAreTheChampions
hahahaha! Crying right now 😂
@EnnuiAreTheChampions
HaaHaHaHa! You’re going to make me pee my pants.
Meh, I think you are being sensitive.
Most people just want him to own it or stop playing games of are we or aren’t we. I can see their point.
To be sensitive, I would need to care one way or the other. I don’t. I actually much prefer when celebrities don’t publicly announce every relationship, no matter how new or brief. Everyone does not need to live like the Kardashians.
It’s a shame he didn’t comply and compromise his privacy. I mean how dare he holds onto what he values. Lack of complete information in the age of technology. Can you imagine? Poor dears 😨
He DID compromise though. That is why even sane fans are rolling their eyes over this. This isn’t a down low situation. This is a situation where at least one party is putting things out there and the other is going along with it.
But yeah, I’m the childish one for noticing the change. Mmmkay. If it makes you feel better.
I don’t see it as compromise. He’s living his life. Good for him. I’m sane, and I’m not rolling my eyes. I am rolling my eyes that people are making a big deal out of their relationship. I’m a fan and all I can think when I see anything on THEO: WHO CARES! Big deal! Let them have sex and have fun! 😛 What does it matter at all? People want in on their “thing”. Entitlement to know “stuff”. What does that get them? Gratification? A sense of closure? Free kittens?
“This is a situation where at least one party is putting things out there and the other is going along with it.”
And what’s wrong with that? I just don’t get it =/
This equates to how pointless and intrusive it is at Christmas parties when relatives ask me when I’m getting married or having a baby. It’s not their business and they are not entitled to know anything. And if I happen to have friends tag me on social media kissing a guy’s cheeks, I’m sure hell would break loose and same people would demand why I’m not alleviating my single status. I would still wonder why it matters so much and what it has to do with anything.
@Lilac “Everyone does not need to live like the Kardashians”
Omg, so so right!
I think that’s what it’s come to now with all the stupid, vapid, un-reality shows. People/fans think that all celebrities are in one big reality show and are entitled to every part of their lives.
I’m sure you can.
Hi @Madly
Even if he did compromise once, that doesn’t mean they are playing games. Nor is it tantamount to a mandate that they publicly confirm their personal relations to their fans. It’s just not that important really.
For all anyone knows, the reality could be that’s he’s gay but has acquired a lovesick Olsen stalker who is following him all over the world and he tolerates it because he has to work with her again on Infinity Wars. But no, for some, (and please note that I say “some,” not “most,” not “all,” not “many”) for some the only reality can be what they have speculated and anything else is a lie or a game and why won’t he just come out and admit what they have convinced themselves must be true, despite the fact that there could be a hundred other real explanations.
@jammypants, can I have a kitten?
@Lilac, I have only grey tabbies presently. I’m sure you won’t mind. They’re perfectly suited for your veranda parties. They deliver biscuits and lollies instead of dead pests. Very pleasant.
FWIW, I agree with you, Madly. It’s a private situation. It’s clear to me that they’re not really in a serious relationship and it’s a FWB arrangement for whenever either is in the mood or in town. That means you keep it discreet. For me, those tabloids leaks sound like they all came from her. If those leaks hadn’t started, no one would be even bothering with THEO or trying to find pics of them together or anything. It sounds like to me Olsen likes the attention she gets from her name getting associated with higher profile actors and she’s going to milk her association with Tom for as long as she can while she’s enjoying the perks of having him as a FWB. If he was really her boyfriend, she would respect his desire for privacy and leak nothing. But since he’s just a hookup buddy, it’s all fair game and since he never addressed anything about his personal life, it’s easier for her to play that game.
I know I’m going to get that whole spiel about them being just friends and it’s the tabloids fault for printing fake gossip but the language in all those leaks is very much in favor of Elizabeth and they slam Tom again and again. That’s not some idle gossip. Those are specific leaks and hints given by someone’s rep. When you’re friends who occasionally hook up, you keep that quiet. No one has any way of knowing that you’re hooking up unless you tell them and Lizzie wanted to kiss and tell and started up this whole game in May.
Portia, all good points. Tom willingly participated in stoking the fire last July, so he’s not blameless, but it’s pretty obvious that she’s using Tom to raise her profile. He’s using her for casual, no-nonsense sex. Not terribly romantic in my personal opinion, but it achieves their individual goals.
@Jammypants while I agree that they don’t owe anyone an explanation as its their personal business, I have to agree with Madly & Portia here, and as Nutballs has also pointed the whole use of your personal life for pr is disingenuous.
When that FT piece Tom wrote came out I side-eyed this part: “I have learned a whole new set of skills in dodging headline-chasing hot potatoes: those questions designed to elicit a sensationalist answer more likely to drive traffic to a given website” – you mean this site and other gossip sites or tabloids? Mate, you asked for it you can’t have it both ways.
If you want to keep your personal life private, don’t let your co-star and rumoured hook-up or whatever drop stories to tabloids then turn up at a high profile restaurant where celebs go to be seen, and is known as a paparazzi hangout, and get ambushed so your plus 1 loses it and walks round with a scarf over her face. All of that could’ve been avoided if you’d kept the whole thing on the down-low.
If that had been done all there would be is that candid pic (which neither of them had any control over), and even then the attention was drawn by that US Weekly story, and this recent Instagram pic and a few vague sightings. There wouldn’t be a load of articles on gossip sites and anywhere near the click-bait going on.
Becky, well put.
If Tom was bothered by the speculation, I’d have zero sympathy for him. He willingly went on two public outings with Lizzy — demonstrating in one of them more affection than he ever did with JArthy — and thrust his private life into the spotlight. If he’s continued to hook up with her as recently as November as her team keeps drop tabloid rumors, then he’s willingly letting his personal life be used for someone else’s PR. He has no one to blame but himself for that. If that’s the kind of person he wants to hook up with, then that says as much about him as it does about her.
@Portia, that’s a pretty reasonable assessment
@Becky, he can mean a whole slew of things. It could include the gossip type questions, but he also had to dodge the hell out of Marvel related questions. One cannot come to such conclusion when his words were so vague in every way, except that one interview he gave at TIFF where he said they were just having dinner in London, which they were.
@nutballs, I still don’t get what’s wrong that Tom “willingly went on two public outings with Lizzy”. Like really, there is nothing wrong with two people hanging out and hooking up. They can’t only see each other behind closed doors. For two people who may be seeing each other for well over a year now and only have two sightings, that does not seem like begging for attention. If Lizzie is secretly PR starved and Tom doesn’t seem to care as much as we think, then I still don’t see the big deal. None. Zilch. Nada.
Nutballs, I’m a bit confused. You keep referring to their pap walks, plural. And how in one pap walk Tom had his arm around Elizabeth. By which I assume you’re talking about the photos sent to the Daily Mail?
I’m just a bit confused because I was under the distinct impression that that was not a pap walk at all. That was the result of a Tumblr troll baiting people to take pictures. I highly doubt Tom or his team would seriously take a photo pretending to be a fan then send it to that blog of all places. That’s a bit too conspiracy theory for my tastes.
I understand that people have different views on what is and isn’t PR but I really am surprised that you’ve repeatedly mentioned the fan creepshot as PR when out of everything discussed it’s probably the most easily proven fan-made part of the whole thing.
For all of you who keep reading things into what I’m saying: I am not criticizing them for hooking up. The disingenuity of pretending to want privacy but putting their private life out in the spotlight is what I’m calling them out on.
Question for you all. Since Tom and Susannah broke up in 2011, how many times has Tom been papped in London while eating out? Exclude the two times with Lizzy last summer. How many times has it happened? I can count three times — once, coming out of G&W with a script in his arms and talking to his PA. Once with Lara Pulver, the night after JArthy was seen with him at Wimbledon. Another time, he was seen after Coriolanus with Bendy and Emily. Any others I’m missing?
That’s three times in 3.5 years. What this tells me is that he knows how to go out with friends, family and dates without getting captured by a camera. He knows the places he can eat out and take a date and stay private. Do you think he wasn’t going out with JArthy during the year between the two bona fide sightings? Do you think he wasn’t going to see theatre during those years and eating out afterwards?
I don’t believe that the picture of him and Lizzy walking away from G&W with his arm around her shoulder was them getting caught, not in light of the rumors that had been festering for more than two months. He’s stalked at G&W by uberfans and they were looking for sightings of the two of them. If he really wanted to give no reason for anyone to believe they were hooking up, then taking Lizzy to his favorite neighborhood cafe and throwing his arm around her as they’re walking in broad daylight seems incredulous to me. You may not see it that way. Fine. But I think that was a part of the stirring of the PR pot, along with the very obvious pap walk at the Wolseley.
That would depend on whether the particular religious order allows its celibate adherents to wear Loki pants. Additionally, someone did ask Tom if Loki wears underwear and the answer was Underarmor because the pants contain pieces of metal
I am going to found the order of the Celibate Gyrating Loki Troubadours. After that, a reality show right after the Kardashians or maybe another network. IDK yet.
Would watch. Make it happen, @cranberry!
Will bacon be part of the rituals? What about wine?
Oh yes, bacon will play an important role in the winter solstice equestrian rites. Wine and ale will be a daily requirement especially during recitations.
JMO, she doesn’t look pregnant. It’s just not a flattering style for her but I have a cover up dress for the beach that looks similar and it’s really comfortable. Maybe that’s what she was going for, comfort. OT, bummed that CP didn’t receive an Oscar nod for costumes. The movie may have not lived up to expectations but the costumes did.
I was bummed out about production and costume design as well.
I was sad that CP didn’t get nods for costume design or set design. Looking at the list of nominees in the costume category, there are two I would have swapped out for CP. But those categories are voted by costume designers and production designers; the nominations aren’t voted by all AMPAS members. Maybe the majority of them skip anything that doesn’t fit into the standard Oscar-baity category.
I just don’t get how wearing rags in The Revenant warrants a costume nom. It’s like the voters didn’t even try.
Me either.
I feel the same for the acting – if the actors are actually cold, miserable and angry while they are filming then why is it a great achievement to look cold, miserable and angry on screen? No acting required – why is that Oscar-worthy?
@Dara, I ask the same questions.
@koko, @jammy
Yeah, those dresses were over the top. Del Torro would have been great in the fashion world. (I know he didn’t really design them, but it’s still his vision)
He’s a wonderful art director
Yes, he really is.
Sony Classics has released a new interview with Tom and Rodney. It is Part One, so a Part Two is probably forthcoming. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCruD_lL-5fmllpKMSL-yCyQ
nose job … bad one at that
Well TOBY seems to have changed her mind.
Oh, the drama!
Can’t stand the excitement!
The first trailer for TNM has arrived! Here is the link. youtu.be/EGCc_jtuz44
It really looks like a modern Bond movie and the soundtrack is a bit similar to Sicario.
Dear god. I’m a puddle.
thats two puddles
Oh goody… new post coming! I’m done talking about THEO.
The trailer looks great! Can’t wait to see this next month.
Yummeeeeeeeeeeee!
Hallelujah!
It’s glorious!!!!!! Done with THEO, on to what really matters; PINE!
