Yes, I’m mostly just writing this post so you guys won’t have to wade through 500-plus comments on the original story from Friday. Dragonflies deserve a fresh comment section! Tom Hiddleston and Elizabeth Olsen stepped out in London on Thursday night, and all of the Dragonflies had a meltdown throughout the day on Friday. My guess – and I’m actually trying not to read all of the unhinged Dragonfly conspiracy theories – is that by now, most people accept that Tom and Elizabeth are happening. They are dating. Lord Dragonfly has taken a mate. They’ve been together for months now, at the very least. At most, they’ve probably been together since late last year, which is when they worked together on I Saw the Light (and when Olsen had a fiancé). Is Tommy a homewrecker? To be determined. For now, we just have to make do with the slender morsels of information given to us by Us Weekly (Us Weekly broke the “they’re dating” story in May).
Scarlet Witch and Loki forever! Elizabeth Olsen and fellow Avengers star Tom Hiddleston have officially gone public with their romance. The new step in their relationship comes two months after Us Weekly exclusively revealed that they are hooking up.
“They’ve been talking constantly. It’s been good for the both of them, they really care for each other,” an insider tells Us. “Neither of them are looking to jump into a large commitment, but it’s getting more serious.”
Olsen, 26, and the British hunk, 34, were recently spotted getting cozy while walking down the street together in Oxford on July 21. Two days later, they took a taxi to attend Bradley Cooper’s West End production of The Elephant Man.
“She went to meet up with Tom after doing Paris Fashion Week and wrapping on Captain America: Civil War,” a second source notes.
The couple recently wrapped filming the drama I Saw the Light, based on country legend Hank Williams’ life in which they play Williams and his wife Audrey Mae Williams, respectively. They are both a part of the Marvel family, but have appeared in separate films. Hiddleston played the villainous Loki in The Avengers (2012), Thor: The Dark World (2013), and will reprise his role in 2017’s Thor: Ragnarok.
Ah, they went to see The Elephant Man! I wonder what Tom thinks of Bradley Cooper’s acting chops? Hm. So, it sounds like Ms. Olsen has been in London for a week or more, possibly even staying with Tom. Maybe. What’s the rule for that kind of thing? Do you check into a hotel or do you stay at your lover’s place? If we’re talking about a normal person, of course we stay with our lover to save money. But Elizabeth and Tom are movie stars, and hell, maybe they could convince a studio to pick up the tab for a hotel stay, considering this is a lovely promotional gambit as well as a Marvel-tastic sex haze.
PS… Why is that Tom barely tweets these days?

I don’t get the hoopla…or is it I am missing something. He IS allowed to date. If he is happy with Elizabeth’s company, so be it. Are there meltdowns that I’ve missed from fans?
Idk, honestly it seems like now any time an actor dates/marries someone it’s apparently a PR stunt according to Tumblr.
I mean, who knows how long they’ve actually been dating? Eventually you’re going to be caught, so why not just make it public when you think it’s going to stick awhile?
I don’t doubt they are a couple at all. I was criticizing the coming out of the shadows tactics which were a bit cheap and badly executed, in my opinion. If they will use their relationship as a promo tool for the movie is a separate story.
Well, they both spent a lot of time filming away and don’t even live on the same continent. How they were dating if they were apart most of the time ?
IMO the pap-fest at Wolesey’s was a setup – doesn’t mean the relationship can’t be real, it may just have been their way of going public. But London is TH’s home and he knows perfectly well that if you don’t want to get papped, Wolesey’s is the last place you’d go. So to me it was a setup with some sort of PR motivation, maybe several overlapping ones: PR bump-up for ISTL, maybe to go public, maybe other stuff . . . who knows? But no one who wanted to avoid limelight would have gone there: it’s a known celeb hot spot in London and there are always paps there.
Yeah, I don’t get the hoopla either. It seems that whenever some single British dude gets a girlfriend or a wife, fans flip out and become avid conspiracy theorists. Like they can’t handle their crush being with someone else other than them in their fantasies.
Yeah, I’m wondering how long it will take for people to turn on Hiddleston en masse, the way they did with Cumberbatch and Clooney.
I turned on C. and C. because they overshared and saturated everything with “their love.” It was too much.
Hiddles may have learned from that, and thus, we won’t see daily updates on his love for her.
What I don’t get is why is Elizabeth hanging her head as if she’s doing a perp walk to the courthouse? What’s the point? If they wanted privacy they shouldn’t have gone to a watering hole for the paps (or call the paps to let them know where they are).
Oh they have to do the “Shocked, SHOCKED and dismayed to see all these paps here!” thing, otherwise they might as well hang a sign on the cab saying, “This is a setup!” So they go there to get papped and act all flustered and annoyed when they are. It’s the way the thing works.
Well you can’t exactly look like you arranged for the paps to be there…lol
Kaiser, I’m sorry but they can’t have been dating for months, they haven’t been in the same country. As the US Weekly piece says they may have been “talking constantly” but I think they’ve only started seeing each other properly since she arrived in London around 6th or 7th July and he returned from The Night Manager shoot. Then he was in the US til last week…so maybe only a week.
Maybe they had some fun while filming and are just now starting a relationship.
I’m going with Catherine on the part about dating, honestly how can you do that when there are numerous continents separating you. For that reason it’s hard to take the “serious” part from the insider as truth, on the other hand “talking constantly”, well of course, they’ve been apart. I find him very empathetic to women in general, she’s just come off a 3 year engagement, talking about things always helps. I only wish I had someone like him when I broke off my longest relationship.
LOL. So Catherine, you know ALL of their movements? They’ve both, certainly, had at least some small chunks of downtime since last fall. We don’t know their precise schedules – they may have visited one another.
I wasnt the only one who mentioned it…and this was discussed on the previos thread. I obviously don’t KNOW but I’ve followed The Night Manager shoot, which ran for 13 weeks mostly in Morocco and Spain – while she was filming in the US then doing AOU promo.
And there were sightings of them when she was in London in January, and then nothing until last week. OK?
@ Catherine, I’m sure they’ve been mostly kept apart. I’m just saying, we don’t know the exact production schedules. It’s not uncommon during a long shoot on a big-budget film with multiple locations and big casts, for there to be a few days off (even a week) here and there, as production moves to a new location, etc etc.
There were plenty of reports of her being in London before either of them started filming in the Spring. Things could have started then (after her breakup), they went off to their respective film shoots and now they’re picking up where they left off. That’s the way it works for people in their line of work.
While I’m in the “dating” camp, I doubt its anymore than casual since as far as we know, they don’t even live on the same continent. I’ll buy the whole “they’re getting more serious” rumor if one of them changes their residence to be closer to the other. They’re having fun together and their romance fits nicely into their promotional activities this fall. At this point, I wouldn’t put any bets on it still going strong a year from now.
Then again, maybe I’ll eat my words and get hitched and have a baby by this time next year. Oy vey.
first of all no one knows how much they’ve actually been seeing each other. secondly, it’s not the same for actors or in general people who have to travel for work. they still start relationships and see each other when they can, it’s their job and they get used to it. that’s the normality to them.
stop finding excuses as to why they can’t possibly be dating for a certain amount of time.
I don’t think the ‘not in the same country’ observation is an excuse for why they couldn’t be dating – more of a reason for why it probably isn’t very serious at this point. How serious can you get when you’ve probably only seen each other in person a few dozen days (at most, and I’m being generous) in the last seven months?
I’ll allow it’s possible this is the romance of the century – their love knows no limits in space or time, etc. etc. – and it’s all happened behind closed doors. I just don’t think so, not yet anyway.
Thanks Dara that’s what I was trying to point out.
Tommy will milk this relationship like the pro he is.
Oscar season will be interesting, maybe even more than the Cumberbatch wedding/baby drama.
I’m really hoping he doesn’t go Full Cumberbatch during awards season.
He will. Make way for cheese. It’s how the game is played. I hope they picked out a nice pattern at Tiffany’s.
There will be cheese.
I’m waiting for him to reconnect with his breath and start TAWKING. That’s the entertainment, people.
If he’s going down Otter’s road and doesn’t leave himself an out, he deserves everything he gets, although it must be said that Ms. Olsen would be a far, far better fate than The Huntress.
I’m also hoping for a pr battle between Tom and Olsen vs. Fassbender and Vikander for the award season
I have an idea for the Tom v. Fassy battle but . . . I doubt anyone will go for it 🙂
I think ‘hunk’ is a but much there pr people. I mean, you don’t want to lay it in too thick or anything.
He is not as perfect as Amal, thats for sure.
LOL
Nor do you want to be demeaning…
Will nobody think of poor Bradley Cooper in all this? People in the theater were tweeting about Tom’s presence DURING the performance. Where was Patti Lupone when he needed her?
US Weekly can’t even get the cab story right. Tom took the Tube to the theater. They walked from theater to restaurant. The cab frenzy was after the restaurant.
The vending machines at the end of the meadow are once again fully stocked with alcohol and snacks and Colin has added dispensers of Purel and sunscreen. Once again, the meadow is completely self-service. Speculators and conspiracy theorists must remain in the meadow.
On the veranda, for the calm among us, Colin is making his way around for drink orders and the buffet is fully stocked with brunch treats.
I’ll be leaving soon with my picnic basket to attend a concert with a married co-worker. I do hope the Daily Mail and US Weekly don’t catch us and turn it into an “OFFICIAL” sordid, torrid affair.
Lilac, if you have longish hair, make sure to pull it up into a high ponytail so paps can get an unobstructed view of your regal profile.
You are the gift that keeps on giving!
I just cut it into a short bob and was planning on combing it straight down over my face but my regal profile will shine through.
Can I join? I really wanted pancakes this morning but only had the energy to make toast.
Certainly, dear InvaderTak. There are blueberry pancakes and buttermilk and pancakes, and of course, the lemon ricotta pancakes on the buffet but if you would like another type, Colin will see if the chef can accommodate.
LILACFLOWERS IN SORDID, DIRTY, ADULTEROUS AFFAIR; PICNIC BASKET STOCKED WITH CHEEZ-ITS was all I got from the above post. Now I’m just waiting for photos.
And video. I’ll be the one covering my face with a pink Tinkerbell towel, which is what I’m bringing to sit on the grass with at the concert and screaming that there’s no fake baby.
Is the married man a hunk at least?
He’s not bad looking so yes, possibly classifiable as “hunk” material. He’s also Haitian. And I’m blonde. We’re quite the opposite. And we’ll be speaking French, the language of “amour”, especially when covering our normal discussion topics like World Cup Soccer and politics.
Since Tom is by all unfounded, gossip accounts a homewrecker, it’s not much of a stretch that his CB wife is too. Since I had my own mountain themed affair with him earlier this year, I’m not judging or anything.
I texted all this to his wife. She confirms that he is a hunk but we can’t tell him. She was also laughing so hard she had trouble texting.
What type of currency does the vending machines take? Tears? Sarcastic wit?
The vending machines are free, dear. But sarcastic wit is appreciated. Tears just gum up the works.
I like to think my (your resident nighttime off-the-cane raspberry stealer, if you want to add to my list of contributions) tears possess the perfect ratio of water, electrolytes, oils, and whatever else, and so would be incapable of gumming up the works of any machine, and Jaguars which may be on the lot included. This delusion I will be keeping. Thank you for your understanding.
Velvet, Crushed, we will make sure Mark doesn’t let the dogs loose in the raspberry patch tonight
You are underestimating my cross-species appeal. Mr. Strong’s dogs love me, and my tears.
Okay. Any particular dog you wish to be sent out to guard the raspberry patch tonight? Or man you would like dressed in a dog costume sent to the raspberry patch tonight? Or just Mark?
Bah. Thank you! I meant inter-species appeal. Also, I find most animal costumes — those with the enclosed head — to be way harsh in their inevitable build up of heat and carbon dioxide. Just once, for our good humour, will Mr. Strong be asked to don a dog costume, but I don’t see why the events of the past half-week should require that sort of levity. Hiddleston has to make it through a nomination campaign, after all.
Velvet, was naked Mark beastly enough for you?
@Lilacflowers, Why, yes, he was, as a matter of fact. He is precisely the sort of moody creature one would hope to find starkers in a raspberry patch. Thank you so much for your kind inquiry and the perfect execution of your administrative instincts. The bowl of raspberries left on the kitchen counter, accompanied by a bar of Côte d’Or chocolate is for you.
Delicious! Thank you!
I can offer strawberries. The other allotment glut du jour chez Sixer is courgettes (zucchini). I propose we eat the strawberries. Think there could be alternate uses for the zucchini (plus, I’m sick of eating them right now).
I want Lilac’s picnic basket to contain goldfish, now that I know what they are.
There are definitely goldfish in my picnic basket. Always. Colin appreciates the offering of strawberries; he won’t have to pick more now. Thank you. The zucchini can be used for chocolate zucchini bread for tea time and we can also fry it for yummy snacks.
Strawberries and dark chocolate for me please. Btw, I have married friend who I dine with often, and we snuggle shamelessly. I just found out his coworkers really do assume we are having a fling. This is distressing. I need my snuggles.
Oh, Miss Jupitero, no! What is wrong with people? Have some extra dark chocololate and a chocolate martini with those strawberries and snuggles.
@ Miss J ..Here have a “doce fino” … it’s entirely made of almond… I’m having some myself (just came from a sweets and candies fair) …
http://docesportugueses.com/lagos/
As long as you’ve got a box of chocolates for me I’ll be happy…
Giant prat! Yes, frisbeejada, we have a special stock of chocolates just for you.
Yes he is, just hope Tom’s not going the the same way and thank you, my preferred brand are Lindor Truffles. I am prepared to bring along my own home-made Black Forest truffles with dark chocolate and cherry brandy ganache with a kirsch soaked cherry in the middle topped with white chocolate and cherry flavoured sprinkles – they are not for the faint hearted (or those with high cholestrol, diabetes etc…)
Giant bowls of Lindor balls, all flavors. I visited the shop yesterday
And those Black Forest things sound yummy!
Freakin’ Ada! I’m coming to your house, frisbeejada, NOW. RIGHT NOW.
Lilac – you’re strong enough to take them…I’m pretty sure of that!
Well I usually only do them at Christmas (they are a bl**dy faff to make) but for you two I will make a special batch – the best bit is when the kirsch from the cherry runs down your chin – not elegant but delish…
Goldfish…pfffft. You had me at the dark chocolate cherry brandy ganache truffles frisbeejada. I’m sidling up to you at this party.
I am Wonder Woman. I can handle anything! Bring on the Black Forest truffles. I’ve also just had three rather potent Raspberry Vodka lemonades at the Oak Room so I may be overestimating my strength a bit. No, I can do anything.
You ladies surprise me with you r preoccupation with Lindt. With the exception of their balls, as it is sold in Canada it is quite terrible chocolate. As I recall, Côte d’Or is at about the same price, and far superior. I am delighted to only have old-style new world chocolate to share with you. I will take your berries, though.
Dear Lilac, is it hot there? It’s going to be a scorcher here. I’ll bring a few 3-packs of white v-necks for the boys (and girls) in exchange for pancakes?
Cool and overcast but we’ll all look cute in matching v-necks
We’re both currently on the T (Boston Tube) but on different lines to arrive at our mutual destination separately. As one does.
Regretting that I didn’t stop into Zara when I walked by last night to get a cape thing.
I’ve reached the destination for our assignation. Radio silence until post concert unless someone tweets about our arrival in which case, I hope Aislinn Nosky goes all Patti Lupone with her violin. Enjoy the buffet safely. Take all disputes to the meadow. Alle Menschen wieden Brudern!
There were people with cell phones snapping pictures all around us. I do hope my towel over the head disguise was effective.
Still interested to know why (according to people who saw and tweeted) he arrived near the theater for their date alone, as well as the fact (theory?) that they were originally leaving the restaurant in separate cabs. Pics have floated around of him getting into his Jag alone after the fact…I’ll buy they’re seeing each other in some capacity but…doesn’t this smell a tiny bit contrived to anyone? I’ll also buy her behavior at being caught is contrived. C’mon girl. Shield your eyes, maybe, but focus on that tall drink of water calling you a ride home (wherever that may have been)!
I know, I know. I’m just jealous.
I would have high-fived myself in front of the cameras and jumped into his lap in the cab. Off to Hampstead!
More than a bit contrived if you ask me. I think they probably are seeing each other but this whole theatre and dinner outing seems like pretty clearly planned PR stunt to ensure stories of them dating come out right as the initial screenings for ISTL started.
And her behaviour is odd. I get that camera flashes are bright and that the paps are horrible but the hiding the face business does nothing but FEED the frenzy and make them more desperate to get the money shot.
Ugh. It’s only July! This kind of stuff is going to continue until at least when the movie comes out in Nov and at worst until Feb if they manage to secure Oscar noms!!!! I miss the days when I was naive about Oscar campaigning.
Lots of people go to a date on their own, then go home with their date. Looks like he hailed a cab, 2 turned up but a pap opened the door of the first one so they got in the other instead.
Imagine the international crisis if she HAD jumped into his lap and high-fived! Now I want her to 😀
LOL!
@Kate, I think the “arriving at the theater by himself” and “leaving in the Jag by himself” are conjecture presented as facts. I remember seeing one tweet from someone saying she’d sat next to Tom on the Piccadilly line but nothing as to whether he was alone or with someone or if he’d gone straight to the theater. As for the latter, there was one picture on Torrilla’s Weibo of him getting into the back seat of a car with not much visible other than the door and the barest glimpse of the inside of the car, so who knows if it was a Jag and/or if he was alone. People were tweeting about seeing/meeting Tom that night with no mention of Lizzie, but she was with him. Even the guy who posted the Instagram video of them outside the theater tweeted only about seeing Tom and then tweeted the link to the video mentioning only Tom. It wasn’t until someone replied to him saying that it was Lizzie with Tom that he added her name to the video.
I’m annoyed I went to the damn play a couple of weeks too early….😡
Yeah, I’m not sure how trustworthy the arriving separately accounts are… they may have decided to come and go separately. If so, then why did they walk to The Wolseley together instead of going separately to a more private eatery? Who knows. It seems like a lot of work to look “platonic” after that arm-over-her-shoulder snapshot and then heading to a place to eat where they were likely to get photographed together again.
What I’m wondering is why they weren’t papped walking to the restaurant. Why only afterwards?
A celeb decently walking into a restaurant vs the possibility of someone rolling out with a bag on their head because they’re sloshed. It’s more logical to camp out at the end of the night.
So you don’t ever meet up with your date at the theater/restaurant/wherever? Even if it’s your serious bf/gf? You’re each coming from different places (from work, running an errand)… this is SO not a big deal.
Very true. I think my sense and logic are being siphoned away by my thirst for TH.
Well, in all fairness, that makes sense if people are coming straight from work or live in different parts of town. If she came to London to see him, even if she wanted to stay in a hotel, couldn’t she have picked one relatively on the way to his house? And they are probably quite free these days, so he could have stopped by to pick her up. Not quite the same as two people working 9-5 jobs or having permanent living arrangements on opposite sides of town.
My boyfriend and I always meet up wherever we are going in the city. I think I can count on one hand the number of times in the past two years one or the other of us has gone to pick the other up. And I would still have fingers left over. And those were for long-distance car trips beyond the reach of public transportation.
To be fair, even if they’re not “busy” right now, they may very well be going to meetings to plan/audition/read for their next unannounced roles. We don’t know what they do on their free time.
@jammypants, I saw a tweet this past week (or maybe the week before?) from someone who said Toms Hiddleston and Cruise were at his dad’s office. I hope they’re not working on a project together.
@et alors – I saw that too…. I was kind of under the impression it was maybe a marketing firm or a magazine, but that was just my speculation. God, I hope not a project.
@jammypants, they could also be doing magazine/newspaper interviews. Monthly magazines do those months ahead of time, especially if photo shoots are involved. An October edition usually contains content from July and August
C’mon ladies… Hiddles in Top Gun 2 in a blue velvet flying suit? Code name “Loosey Goosey Dancing Bear”
I feel the need, the need for sensible acceleration…
Exactly @lilacflowers @jammypants. They’ll be doing magazine interviews and photoshoots right now for October and November issues (which hit stands the previous month, and have deadlines in August).
Which is also why you can’t take Holbrook’s comment about being engaged in the November InStyle (out in October) as proof they were together in October. The deadline for that was mid-August. Before she’d even signed on to ISTL. And the February Glamour UK spread, which hit newsstands January 2nd this year, he’s listed as “newly single” and “not ready to settle down” – the deadline for that was November 26th. So they were over before then.
@waitwhat
This is true only IF and WHEN there are NO significant changes in the star’s situation which the star (or person) wants to be reflected in the article. The magazine articles and editorials are not a reliable source when it comes to timing an event because if a change happens, for example, in January and the star/actor wants the article reflecting that, the representative of the star/actor will request the change and it will be accommodated. You won’t see a reputable magazine calling an actor/actress married or engaged two or three months after they got divorced/separated except if they did so in secret and no one knew or didn’t request an update to make it public. This was not the case with Elizabeth and her fiancé.
@Waitwhat, thanks for the good breakdown on timing.
@SecretSquirrel, I need to see that. I would put aside my Cruise aversion to see that.
@Mary-Alice – you’re right, but are you saying Boyd or his people contacted Glamour to make the change? Possible, I guess, but It’s still on the stands (Jan. 2nd) pre any confirmation by EO’s people in US Weekly. (Not until January 19th, and then it’s only because they saw a picture of her without a ring, and possibly the Glamour spread).
But we’re totally agreed that you can’t go by a brief mention in an article at the beginning of October stating they’re together as proof positive that they were together later in October or November. Pure speculation on all our parts. Because this is a gossip board.
@Waitwhat, and to hit those new stands on January 2, any last minute changes would have had to happen with sufficient time for printing, binding, loading onto trucks, and delivering. So, his people would have told the magazine some time in December, if not earlier
@Waitwhat was that in the print edition though?
@waitwhat
I’m saying that if the magazine stated he was newly single in January edition, it doesn’t mean he was single in November but rather that he requested a change most probably in December and could be easily towards the second half of the month even, and was defined as “newly single”. I don’t know Olsen’s “people” obviously but they don’t strike me as the type to respond promptly to whatever includes her if not manufactured by them. Present moment is another proof. For as long as people are talking about her, let them guess, seems to be the strategy which is why they didn’t issue anything until she was seen without a ring, as you say.
We (rather my PR colleagues) don’t care how magazines will accommodate requested changes. Until it’s out of print everything is possible. Changes are made on a much tighter schedule and sometimes literally on the belt. Of course, that excludes the delivery which, however, is usually not that long, about a day, as local print houses are preferred. If Glamour prints in one print house and delivers countrywide, that would make the delivery very long but I doubt they would do that.
Mary Alice–I have to think that your PR friends aren’t actually that experienced with National/Int’l magazines on the level of Glamour, because a requested change in the latter half of December to a set feature piece hitting the stands January 2nd is HIGHLY unlikely if not impossible. There are limited places in a magazine like that designed to deal with last minute changes–features aren’t one of them. And even those have to deal with production time.
Conde Nast in particular is famous for resistance to change after deadline.
Plus–local print houses? Really?
@TB – I can’t speak to any of the change process Mary-Alice describes, but there are national magazines (in the US at least) that have regional printers to cut down on transit time and allow for region-specific advertising. I used to live so close to one that my subscription wasn’t even mailed to me – a press worker would drive up in a van and drop the magazine in my driveway in an envelope. Worked out great until the rainy season arrived and my freshly minted issue ended up as a pulpy mess.
@Dara–
But was it 1. A monthly magazine and 2. A Conde Nast publication?
@TB – 1. yes, published monthly. A glossy, medium-circ home decor magazine that is sadly now out of print.
2. What difference does it make? You seemed to doubt the idea of a regional printer and I was merely pointing out they do exist. My particular example was over a decade ago, I can only imagine the printing/distribution of periodicals has improved since then.
@Dara– Oh, sorry, by the tone of your reply I must have come off more brusquely than intended.
No, what I was trying to communicate had more to do with how Conde Nast in particular handles their large circulation monthlies–not doubting that some mag companies use regional printing!
Even when running through local print houses, a magazine is not going to change content in an interview at the last minute. They may add some sort of note thing to the table of contents or the editor’s column to record the change or put something in the on-line edition like: “circumstances changed while this issue was going to print and so-and-so is no longer whatever” but they aren’t adding anything to the body of the article itself. And that does not sound like what happened with this interview with Boyd Holbrook.
@catherine @TotallyBiased @Lilacflowers @Dara @Mary-Alice
I’m going by this, which is a scan and has a page number… the copy also has the “flip this issue over for tons of great hair ideas” comment on the right – so it’s definitely from the print version.

The media pack for Glamour is here (pg 18 has the dates – Nov. 26th for print, December 2nd for online for the February 2015 issue):
http://dg9g3lm9lsog5.cloudfront.net/static/condenast/Glamour%20Media%20Pack%20June%202015%20.pdf
That’s basically just a blurb in a heavily formatted section. They wouldn’t have altered that last minute.
The “source” comments are essentially the same as they were two months ago. Is US Weekly simply regurgitating those comments or did the source say the same thing when contacted again recently?
Is this the same “source” who claimed that Tom was just a decoy for Elizabeth’s secret romance with Chris Evans?
It sounds like all they did was take the original write up and tweaked it to add the bit about the date.
I think for both articles the source is a 26 year old 5ft4 blonde with a name starting with E.
Same with Just Jared but I am ready to include Tom’s people on this one too. It’s been long since JJ became a publicity venue and rarely if ever publishes unapproved and unplanted stories.
I was surprised Just Jared had the story up so fast – it was after normal working hours here in the US which made me think they had to know the photos were coming. Does JJ have editors that work 24/7 or in multiple time zones? I haven’t read them enough lately to know how their publication schedule usually runs.
The CE story was in the Enquirer and was most likely bs. US Weekly had the exclusive on her engagement, and break-up of said engagement, both true so….US Weekly’s is her publicist’s go-to publication, so the “source” is her pr.
Yep. Not exactly seeing how this is a big deal. They’re co-workers that have commonalities & whatnot…& he’s only attractive when he’s in character. So…not exactly seeing how this…is a big deal.
“He’s only attractive when he’s in character” ? Really? Too much of a clinker for Elizabeth then? Maybe he brings the Loki headgear out so as to get the hormones flowing….
Well, there is nothing wrong with finding an actor ticking your checkboxes in character. Hiddleston just like any other human is not universally beautiful or accepted as a sex symbol. I feel the same way for Richard Armitabe and have seen the man on and off screen, from far and close, and he never ever made me think of anything else but thin lips. Then i watcned The Hobbit and the rest is history. As long as he stays Thorin I’d become a homewrecker too. LOL So I completely understand how someone could find Hiddleston attractive only as a particular character.
Armitage, of course!
I have admit I would ask him to dress up as loki – 😜❤️ I wouldn’t be ably resist all those buckles and leather bits and bobs – yummy
Is breaking up an engagement really “homewreaking”?
MTE.
Yes, where I come from. “Home” is any co-habiting situation. As a side note, I find it very interesting that it seems in the USA engagement doesn’t really count, I’m judging by comments on this blog only. Then why do you guys get engaged? What is the value of engagement there? I’m honestly puzzled. In my world any serious committed relationship, with or without any offi ial ceremonies, is equally valuable and expected to be honoured by the parties involved. How is it possible to ignore the fact that my boyfriend who loves me (an example) would be definitely hurt if I slept with another man regardless if I was wearing a ring or not. I mean, he would be hurt because he lovesme and trusts me, what does it have to do with officiality? A home is where we share our lives, married, engaged or not. And then to praise marriage which from its very beginning has always been little about love and much about repression of emotionality and control of material values… bit weird and not very progressive, imo. In short, in my circle a broken engagement is definitely homewrecking.
Couples drift apart and meet others that they fall hard for all the time. It’s not that unusual to move on to someone else. They were engaged a long time, weren’t they? Things can change and its better to break up before the wedding than after.
As long as they weren’t getting it on while Holbrook was under the impression he was still her fiancee — and there’s no evidence to that happening — there’s no shade from me.
They were engaged in March 2014 and announced their breakup this January. That’s not a horribly long time, at least not where I’m from. Most couples I know have an engagement period of 1.5 years.
For some reason I thought they were engaged not long after they got together. Yeah, 9 months isn’t long, but long enough to know if you should sign on that dotted line.
I agree, but it seems that their relationship was still going strong (from Boyd’s perspective) as late as September/October. They had been dating since 2012 as well. It’s entirely possible that Elizabeth just wasn’t feeling it as much as he was, though.
Absolutely Nutballs. Is everyone supposed to stay with the first person they go out with? Breakups are inevitable and Better than divorces. I’m not going to speculate When their Relationship began or the nature of it (bit boring for a gossip site I know…) .
Shouldn’t you know whether you want to sign the dotted line when you’re saying yes to a proposal? It’s not like asking someone if they want to get some fro-yo.
That’s true. I guess we’ll never know if he doesn’t speak out and I don’t think he will (the fiance). He left me with the impression he would rather speak well of her than bad. I don’t know much about him, though.
I’ve been with my boyfriend 8 years, engaged for 4 1/2, no one would be shocked if we broke up or I left him for another man because I have always been leery about marrying him because I don’t know, I kind-of feel like is this all there is?
Around half of those who do the “I do” and “til death do us part” bit don’t make it til death do them part so broken engagements aren’t that surprising.
@Andrea- honey, if you’re asking yourself that, then NO, that’s not all there is. I know it’s none of my business, but since you put it out there, don’t get married and don’t stay engaged for one more minute. It’s not great “out there” but it’s better than being with someone you’re just using as a placeholder until something better comes along.
People get engaged for a variety of reasons (not all of them healthy) and if the relationship is dysfunctional, then they might reach a point in the during the engagement period where one or both realize it’s not smart to marry. It’s a blessing to realize that BEFORE you legally tie yourself to another. Personally, I’m a fan of long engagements since it can keep some people from making a huge mistake that will affect them the rest of their life.
PS: and I’m not convinced that you have to live together to realize your incompatibility, but you do need to entwine your lives enough to feel the affects of the differences in likes/dislikes, personalities, temperaments, goals, dreams and see how you navigate those together. It’s rather hard to do that when you’re living on separate continents or travelling half of the year for work. Areas of incompatibility will take longer to be revealed the less “life” is lived in close proximity together.
Homewrecker, nah. No-one was married. Men can drag their feet during an engagement and keep a woman waiting for years without marrying them- presuming she ended the engagement.
Women can too. I’ve been engaged 4 1/2 years and been dragging my feet. LOL
Andrea – I agree with Phoebe above, although it’s none of my business either.
Why is he called Dragonfly tho?
This picture on Flaunt magazine cover. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/93/5c/9f/935c9f87468ea29f20d205c31552007c.jpg
Stop. I have housework to do, and now I just want to gaze at this picture all day. He’s so serious and brooding, but he has silly dragonflies all over his jacket. Sigh.
The best snap from that whole series was the one with the dark green shirt. One of my all-time favs of Lord Dragonfly:
http://www.celebitchy.com/288632/tom_hiddlestons_flaunt_pictorial_with_extra_dragonflies_too_cutesy_or_just_sexy/
@Nutty – that photo is in my top 5 for sure. I think the b/w shots that Peter Lindbergh did for Vogue might be my undoing though. He was woefully underused in the actual magazine spread (w/ Cara Delavigne), but since it gave us those photos to drool over I won’t complain.
I am anticipating lots of lovely magazine features as part of the promo work for all the movies coming out. It’s been too long since Lord Dragonfly has stared soulfully into a camera wielded by a pro and not a fan. Hopefully the clothes they put him in now will be less ridiculous than the legendary dragonfly velvet. I think early on he didn’t have the clout (or willingness) to say no to some of the clown-like get-ups the fashion editors gave him to wear.
AH! Thanks for asking Zaid, I never got this either. That’s one fugly jacket.
That’s one fugly Alexander McQueen jacket but he does flaunt it appropriately.
I love this jacket and I have a chiffon top, with dragonflies from this same collection. I’m still longing for the long chiffon gown, though. It stole my heart.
I crave, maybe even yearn, for the dragonfly clutch.
http://www.lyst.com/bags/alexander-mcqueen-gold-dragonfly-print-jacquard-knucklebox-clutch-bag/
Oh yeah, this clutch is a killer. Keep an eye on Ebay (not the Asian accounts and sellers obviously), such clutch has been there before and I have a Galliano for Dior clutch from there. Not that it’s cheap with all the bids but still, cheaper than any retailer I know.
Yes, thank you for asking, Zaid! I assumed it had something to do with the fact that he went to the Dragon School in Oxford. Apparently I have NOT been paying attention.
LOL let’s talk again when EO gets the Oscar nom and TH doesn’t.
She stands a chance but it won’t be easy. The Best Actress field this year is stacked, compared to Best Actor.
I doubt they’d push her for Best Actress when, as you said, it is literally cramped. Best Supporting Actress though, ripe for taking.
Who’s in the running at this point? It’s so early?!
And why do I have a feeling that their movie is going to be “Country Strong” rather than “Walk the line”?
Rooney Mara, HBC for Suffragette, Julie Walters, Cherry Jones (if her role isn’t too small), Kate Winslet in Jobs, Chastain, Roberts, Kidman, Banks, everyone in Snowden.. These films were all conceived as Oscar bait so they hit the ground running. However, since Cate Blanchett won her Oscar very recently, I have a feeling Rooney Mara will run in Leading Actress. Suffragette will most probably flop, The Martian came too soon after Interstellar, Snowden is too political and noone takes Julia Roberts seriously. That leaves Julie Walters, Cherry Jones, Winslet, Kidman and Banks. The question is, will it be EO or Cherry Jones?
Cherry Jones used to do theater here. She’s a powerhouse and that character is a scenery-chewer. Judi Dench won for 8 minutes screen time
Why is Mara being mentioned? What movie was she in this year?
Mara is in a film called Carol about a lesbian couple, her partner is Cate Blanchett. She won Best Actress at Cannes this year.
Harvey may push Rooney Mara into Supporting Actress since at the moment, that field looks easier compared to Best Actress. Rooney may have a chance at actually winning the Supporting category, as opposed to just getting nominated in Lead (where she’d face tougher contenders such as Carey Mulligan, JLaw, Sandra Bullock, possibly Alicia Vikander).
If she goes Supporting, TWC can also pick up a Best Actress nomination for Cate Blanchett (though as Bea said, she is unlikely to win so soon after Blue Jasmine).
I have no idea how big Olsen’s role is in ISTL, but it makes sense for her to go Supporting.
@Bea- thanks. Yes, I have heard she was good in that film.
Tom has been speculated as being a top-5 contender for a nomination since SPC announced that they’d picked up worldwide distribution rights. Prior to the test screenings, most of the talk (like on the Awards Watch forums) had been focused on that nomination, with a few people hopeful that Lizzie would be able to ride Tom’s momentum to a nomination herself, similar to what happened with Felicity Jones and Eddie Redmayne. After the test screenings, I’ve seen feedback from two attendees (second-hand in one instance and not including the feedback from the Bron Studios employee), and neither one mentioned Tom being outshone by Lizzie, only that Lizzie turned in an incredible performance. Someone on the AW forums asked the poster whose friend went to the screening about Lizzie “outshining” Tom, and that person said, no, he’d heard Tom was great, too, with the keyword being “too.”
Unfortunately for Tom the Academy will not have Fassy, Redmayne AND Hiddleston running for the 5 spots. Especially when they have Michael Caine as the 4th. I doubt he will be able to turn in a performance that can compete with all 3 of those guys especially after last year for Redmayne and Shame 12YAS et al for Fassy. It will be several Americans with 2 non-Americans at most.
But that’s your opinion, @Bea. It’s all speculation at this point. We’ll find out when the nominations are announced.
Don’t forget Tom Hardy in Legend.
The British + Irish contingent looks very strong now in Best Actor, but there are a few movies with American male leads that have yet to announce release dates. Once that happens and if these are slated for Oscar season, a few of the British/Irish contenders may fall by the wayside. I think Hiddles looks possible but shaky for now.
The early word on Fassbender in Jobs is good but not earth-shatteringly fantastic. Caine is in an arthouse movie that may not gain widespread traction, though I personally love the director’s work. Redmayne looks most probable for a nomination for now, but then again we have had no screenings or reviews yet for The Danish Girl. So it’s still anyone’s guess.
@Beth No. 2, Don Cheadle could get in the race after the announcement that Miles Ahead is closing NYFF, although there’s no distributor yet, last I read.
Poor Jake Gyllenhaal, though.
Keep in mind, Fassbender also has Macbeth.
@et alors – Yep, Cheadle could provide a shot in the arm for the race. In fact, I’m thinking if Miles Ahead emerges as a strong contender, it could be bad news for ISTL. AMPAS may not have appetite for two music movies.
@M.A.F. – Fassy for Macbeth is in the conversation and Harvey is distributor. The downside for him is that Shakespearean movies can be dicey with the Academy, especially when the reviews out of Cannes – albeit strong – have characterised this film as being bleak and dark. Harvey also already has a pretty full slate of other movies to push which have a better chance of winning Best Picture. I like Fassy and hope he gets a nomination. Maybe his Steve Jobs film would be an easier route for him?
@Beth No. 2, I think when you take into account the release date and the fact that ISTL is SPC’s only Best Actor play, Tom has a pretty good shot. Don Cheadle could spoil the party, but as I said, the film doesn’t have a distributor yet. I’m hoping both are in because I really like Cheadle.
As for Fassy, I think the stronger bet is Steve Jobs.
Here’s an interesting take on ISTL:
http://www.hollywood-elsewhere.com/2015/07/williams-biopic-telluride-toronto/#more-70765
I know there seems to be a belief that AMPAS won’t nominate more than 2 British actors in the same category in the same year but historically that has not been the case. Helen Hunt won in 1997 but she was the only American nominated for Best Actress, beating out Judi Dench, Kate Winslet, Julie Christie, and Helena Bonham Carter (my vote would have gone to Christie or HBC). In 2001, Russell Crowe run over a field that featured two Australians (himself and Geoffrey Rush) and Javier Bardem. Only two American men in 2011 – that one went to Jean Dujardin and the nominees included Demian Bichir (HOT!). When Robert Duvall won, he also was up against four British actors. When Brando turned down his Oscar for the Godfather, he had beaten out Michael Caine, Laurence Olivier (both for Sleuth) and Peter O’Toole. It is not at all uncommon for two British actors to score nominations in the same year. However, after seeing the trailer for Legend and factoring in Hardy’s shutout last year for Locke, I suspect he’ll score a nomination.
@Lilacflowers – thanks for the listing, it’s all very true. Back in the 1964, none of the 5 nominees were American – Rex Harrison, Richard Burton, Peter O’Toole, Peter Sellers, Anthony Quinn.
I suspect we’ll see Tom Hardy, too, but I’m kind of thinking it might be SA for The Revenant.
@Bea let’s not forget Marion Cotillard in Macbeth.
@Claire I have a personal vendetta against Marion as Lady M, I cannot be objective about it. But yes it is a very viable option indeed.
1- She left the Cap and went to meet him in London?! Poor Evans…
2- I think he barely goes to twitter for two reasons:
a) He is really busy
b) Remember when dragonflies complain he gave too much attention to Hiddlestoners and that his tweets were cringe-worth?
3- You go, Tom! Get her, you “hunk”… hahahahaha
I’m a homewrecker. I achieve this status by not tidying up for weeks on end. I’m sitting amidst a pile of detritus right now. I feel very strongly that this term should not be used to describe any aspect of the not-the-way-we-normal-people-do-it relationship practices observed by members of Hollyweird.
Agree with you – no intelligent woman likes housework, I find the best way to tackle it is constant, creative and dedicated procrastination.
My home is a wreck right now too and I’m abandoning it right now to go listen to Beethoven’s 9th out in the rain. The cat can do the tidying up if she’s unhappy.
I tackle it by agreeing to Mr Sixer buying a Dyson vacuum that weighs half a ton and then telling him that my post-cancer reduced lung capacity cannot cope with hefting it about, thus leaving him to do the vacuuming. Also: all Sixlet chores relate to cleaning things. They generally duck out, but then I can blame them for the state of the house via the ducking out of chores. This suits both the Sixlets and me.
I resent this term when my slaves — I mean kids — aren’t picking up after themselves. Or when they decided to make waffles at 6:30 in the morning and the black ant army amassing outside our back door have developed an tolerance to the poison and they’re feasting on the sticky brown artwork on my kitchen floor.
*points bony finger at kidlet 1 & 2 with furrowed brow*
Luckily I have a Border Collie so I get him to do it…never can manage the Hoover but hey, he’s only a dog!
Tom Hiddleston talks constantly? How is this news?
My theory is that all this is happening because five months ago, she was bored at the craft table and asked “but come on, Shakespeare probably didn’t write them all, right?” Fast forward to now. Her fiancé dumped her because of the three-hour calls at midnight, and she’s sitting in a cab, her face in her hands, wondering how this is her life, while Hiddles carefully lays out the argument for Double Falsehood.
I am crying laughing right now. A+ t.fanty, A+.
A+ from me, too! Hehehehe… f
She’s thinking “which one of those Celebitches has the ball gag and how quickly can I get it?”
I suggest her to use the “take your sitting bits and apply to his face to make him shut up” method.
Yes Bea… make his face into a chair and sit on it. Much more enjoyable than using a ball gag.
And she can’t run away because he’s got Derek Jacobi running point for him.
Oh come on T- Hiddles make a carefully laid out argument? He meanders more than the Nile.
Sixer- at the risk of pulling a Hiddles, I believe Jacobi is an anti-Stratfordian.
(p.s. And hullo there, my lovely!)
I really laughed at this, then realized it was actually possible!!
Fanty – hello yersen! I miss you.
I posit Jacobi in that the Hiddles strategy is like blitzkrieg – poor Lizzie is drunk on conflicting theories.
(Or some other mixed metaphor/allusion that only makes sense to me).
Can you imagine what he would be like in bed? I have a feeling a ball-gag is used on him for a variety reasons number 1 to keep him from talking.
I don’t know, guys. He has a really nice, deep, growly voice. One could presumably get him to say all manner of dirty things in one’s ear…
I would. No shame.
I have a confession- I got the High Rise audiobook and MAY have fallen asleep last night listening to Tom read to me. Trust me, you would not want to stop him from talking, his dulcet tones are simultaneously arousing and relaxing. Highly recommend.
Same Kate, no shame. No ball gag needed with that voice.
I see your point BUT if he is talking dirty there would be no use for the gag. But the movement he deviates from the dirty talk, BAM! Ball gag.
On another note, god damn his feet are BIG! What the hell is going on in those boots? Does he stuff them a la David Beckham??
Why is everyone obsessed with this guy? His acting is sub par and this is some PR f***ery
Now that they’ve been “outed” I think it’s either going to be:
A. We got it over with, go quiet until it’s time to really sell it in a month or so.
B. He’ll be over his “privacy” being invaded and be “this is not what I signed up for”. They’ll tell us it really really was just friends all along.
Her overreaction just says she wants or maybe needs it more. He’s going to be busy again soon and she doesn’t appear to have a whole lot going on. Plus she will always have to try and distance herself from being the other sister. This even though she’s a better actress than the twins combined.
Neither of them appear to have any filming going on before year-end, so I’m voting A. 🙂
I just want to caption that top picture MY SHAMKF*CK. That’s what I think when I see Elizabeth covering her face while sitting next to Tom.
ETA: I do know she’s reacting to paps and trying not to give the money shot (which they got anyway), but I like my alternate interpretation better…
That’s what I said yesterday. The way she is reacting is like she got caught with her hand in the cookie jar. Take and embrace the cookie Lizzie. Him, on the other hand, needs to man up and stand next to his women instead of leaving them hanging out to dry.
Wouldn’t he be a biscuit?
correct.
Embrace the biscuit, Lizzy and allow Tom to embrace the biscuit, sans ball gag. 😉
Posting from a gossip blog about seeing THEO being “friendlier than just friends” at the Wolseley.
http://www.kingsays.com/2015/07/25/elizabeth-olsen-dating-tom-hiddleston/
Without throwing myself into the fire of “OH GURL YOU JEALOUS”, vague descriptions like this always make me suspicious. Like you are comfortable enough to make a living off of it by blabbing about it online but are too virtuous to say they were kissing holding hands etc..?
Um….duh? I think we’re a bit past just friends, even in the gossip realm.
There are some who think it’s just friends hanging out, until they see pda they won’t believe it.
@InvaderTak, actually, there are still plenty of people who believe they’re just friends.
Why does everyone take this as fact? I don’t get it. Calling Tom a homewrecker? Seriously? That’s kind of low. I’m not saying he’s a saint, nor that they aren’t together, but this is all GOSSIP, people! NOBODY KNOWS YET! Some of you are acting worse than the Tom fangirls at Tumblr at this point. When this turns out to be nothing but friends hanging out (yes, that’s my take on it) then everyone will start making up stories about how he broke her heart or whatever. Over the past couple of years Tom has been seen like this with at least three different friends/co-workers and every time he is supposed to be dating them. It’s like everyone here assuming Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz were over only because we had not seen them PUBLICLY while he was working his ass off doing Bond. Now that he’s wrapped and they were seen at the beach together, what then? Reconciliation? Please.
Gossiping is one thing, but don’t take things as fact. Calm down, peeps!
Eh… you sound a bit overinvested. I believe we were discussing IF he would be (and who of us would consider him such) IF she was still engaged at the time. You should calm down too.
I feel like this about every single post where people jump into conclusions about rumors (aka, 99% of the material here) putting theories out there is fine, but assuming things about people (like calling someone, anyone, a home wrecker) is just annoying.
I don’t see conspiracy theories on Tumblr either. I see heartbreak confessions. They must have originated from here if anything.
@Alice:
Agree with everything that you said.
Thanks! 🙂
Alice, honey, come sit on the veranda. Colin is grilling kebabs and we’ll have make your own sundaes while we watch Poldark.
If the celebrity relationship lasts over time the public seems to accept them and stops being judgey about how it started, i.e., Brad and Angelina.
It would be great to hear from someone credible from the ISTL set or from Boyd himself about THEO, but it won’t happen so let’s move forward.
Will we see more of them? I think so because of the paps more than because of PR. His PR, her PR and the movie’s PR will need time to strategize. It would be fun to have him back in LA, her hometown. We have plenty of Wolseley type rest.s here.
Has there really been a meltdown? I mean, sure things have been lively around here for a few days, but last I checked this IS a gossip site and this is the first good gossip about the Tomster we’ve had in over a year. So yes, lots of traffic but very little drama – or did I miss something?
Tumblr has been pretty rational and reasonable (my corner of it anyway). There were a few that declared this news an apocalyptic event and are convinced their lives are over. But I’m assuming those people also have that exact same reaction when their Cap’n Crunch cereal sits too long in milk and loses and its crunch, so I disregarded them at outliers.
Maybe all the good drama is over on Twitter? I pretty much avoid that place like the plague these days, and only venture over there to see if Hiddles has been spotted somewhere, wandering about unsupervised on Luke’s day off.
Edit – so I typed this before @Alice’s comment appeared, but it feels like she and I are reading two different sets of comments. It all looks pretty calm to me. And I feel pretty calm myself, but that could just be a carb coma from all the waffles I scarfed down from @Lilac’s breakfast buffet.
It’s like you said, on Tumblr it depends on who you follow. I’ve never followed the over invested fangirls, the ones who are dying over this. I’ve only followed those that make fun of him and see him for what he is- a man and not someone to admire and worship.
Same goes here. Some are analyzing it but for the most part, we make fun of him in a good, light heart matter, hence the Manor and free food.
Really?? Outside of the recently-departed Torilla and the monochromaticallyfabulous site, I didn’t know any other existed that are worshiping him like a god or tearing him down like that other blog that won’t be named.
Again , I think it just depends on where you look.
I don’t really see a meltdown either, at least here, but Tumblr is pretty upset
Really? Maybe I’ll have a look around the various Hiddleston tags – I generally avoid them and only follow a handful of Tom-centric sites, which I’ve selected very carefully. I catch all of the news and photos and avoid most of the drama and fangirl squealing. I keep a couple on my dash purely for comic relief – they are hardcore fangirls but are so damn funny about it I can’t resist.
yea I was scrolling through like I do everyday or so and when it broke out that they’re dating, the heartbreak confessions came rolling. Most they say is they are entitled to their “real” feelings of hurt. I don’t see the conspiracies, but maybe I just follow friendly users. Either way, I can’t look away!
Capn Crunch lose its crunch? Has it been sitting in the bowl in a sauna for days? How could this happen? I don’t believe this! This can’t be true! I am bereft!
I was talking about the article not the comments. Plus no meltdown here. I honestly don’t care who Tom is with, whether he’s gay or forever single, I just hate people jumping into conclusions. That’s why I mentioned Daniel Craig as well. It’s annoying to see people take gossip as FACT, no matter the celebrity.
Can someone explain to me what the big deal is here? He is cute and I haven’t seen him in many movies and she looks normal-sized, is it because she is the older sister of the Olsens? Is that tacky or something?
I can’t answer any of your questions. Just came here to say she is younger than the Olsen twins.
Love her shoes.
yes! I need to know where they’re from.
I don’t know why I’m bothering responding to these comments, but good god y’all are REACHING.
Look, they’re probably really dating. And also parlaying the relationship into some mutually beneficial PR. GASP! SHOCK! HORROR!
Um.. Thank you for the revelation but pretty much EVERYONE here thinks the same.
I don’t know much about either one of them, and could care less if they’re dating. I just have one question….what in the name of the mother of God made her think the “Dirty Hair Waterfall” was a good idea?
With those older sisters to mold her, “dirty hair waterfall” and a normal outfit is positively A+.
As is dating Tom Hiddleston, on closer reflection.
Well one thing’s for certain, since what little we can see and “know” is leading to a mixed bag of impressions, I doubt they’ll be confirming anything any time soon. If they came out and said they were dating, then we’d just be reacting (Yea! Ugh! *Shrug*) to that reality. If they confirm the opposite, there’s not as much to yap about here.
Since they’ve left it open to interpretation, there’s a lot more chatter about them on the interwebs as people go back and forth on “are they? or aren’t they?”, and that’s PUBLICITY for them and ISTL. From a PR perspective, it’s rather smart of them to keep people guessing, for now at least.
You are right, as long as we keep debating, we keep their names out there. A win for PR.
Tom seems to have a thing for co-stars. He dated kate dennings, sian clifford, gwen, susannah fielding. Went to dinner with sienna miller. And now lizzie. She is a good choice for him. She will give him some press in US. He needs good PR before tne awards season. Poor jane arthy though. Probably wanted to be Mrs hiddles.
Sian was just a friend of his and going to dinner with Sienna doesn’t mean anything. She was still with Tom Sturridge at the time, if I recall correctly.
he went out for dinner with Luke Evans!!!!!!
OMG #Sarcasm
Hahahahahahahahahaha
I see what you did there!
Fan fic material!
Didn’t just go out to dinner with him but shared a house with him, Jeremy Irons, and Reece Shearsmith. A foursome!
@lilacflowers sine I find reece Sheersmith quite attractive in a funny way & jeremy is hot too, that’s quite an orgy for my imagination. 👍❤️
@p’enny, I suspected you would enjoy that, saucy minx that you are. No idea where James Purefoy stayed but he could have been part of the ménage as well
liiiiilacfloweeeers 🙂
i forgot about James, gosh, looooouve
Sending James over to you with a fresh bottle of kahlua
I’m beginning to feel sorry for those who don’t have platonic male friends to go out to dinner with.
lol. He also had dinners with the High-Rise DP and his kids, there’s a budding romance if you ever see one.
God only knows what he has been up to with Guillermo del Toro!
Nerdist.com is now finally posting on its website that it will post the SDCC podcast with Tom, GDT, and Maisie Williams some time this week.
about time #thumbs-up can’t wait x
ooo yay!
It doesn’t actually say WHEN this week but it does say this week.
Olsen has been doing the indie things for years, and no one watched her movies. She was casted in two franchises and is still forgetable. During all of this she was involved with another working actor and was able to have a private life.
She wants to take her career to the next level and could not do it with Boyd.
Own you sh*t, Olsen. Don’t act coy in photos when you are seen in a pap spot with a actor who has a dedicated group of fans who call themselves Dragonflies. Don’t act surprised. You want a higher profile and better projects and know this is what you have to do because if everyone knew you from your filmography, that is all that will be talked about. So, do it with a full photo.
The timing is perfect. Oh Tom you got it from Bendy Cumberbarf, he is contagious.
why cant i see these comments anymore?
You’re gonna love this. Lizzie is nominated for a Teen Choice award for best breakout star for Ultron. This is one of those budget awards shows where the winners appear to know in advance as the other nominees tend to stay away. Demi Lovato hosts from LA Aug. 16. Now if anything would prove that he has a deep, constant and abiding love for Lizzie it would be him sitting through that with her! http://www.teenchoice.com
Where is this meltdown people speak of? I have seen a lot of interest, obviously, but I’ve yet to see anyone go into denial or be mean to EO. Most comments have been positive, the only negative spin is whether they are doing it for PR, love, or both. And I haven’t really seen anyone claim that it is pure PR. Everyone seems to think that they are dating, it is just the seriousness and the timing of “coming out” that are being debated as circumspect.
Right, agreed. After 700 comments, we’re all pretty much saying the same thing as you have here Timbuktu. Now what will PR do with the idea that there is no meltdown? Use it how? If the public is pretty much okay with THEO, then will we see more of them, officially?
Eh, the previous thread struck me as having some harsher trends than this one. Tumblr and oddly IMDB have a helping of melting ‘fans’ proclaiming that they were looking forward to seeing I Saw the Light, but now–in light of? eh–recent events they won’t be bothered. Plus some pretty nasty language towards EO (which surprised me)–this also popped up on Twitter. But as another poster put it, compared to an average day on a One Direction tour, all of this is milk and cookies!
He’s actually pretty cute. It’s funny tho how he’s like “whatever, take our picture, I don’t care”. And she’s freaking out it seems. Just let it roll girl….
I found it funny as well how chill he is haha! I kind of feel sorry for Liz though.
In several of the pictures, a rather large photographer is standing on his foot and he doesn’t react at all.
Girl, don’t cover your face! Do you know how lucky you are to be in the presence of Tom?! I wish I were her lol.
I suggest they wear seat belts even when in a taxi.
This is all I have . . .
http://www.savingcountrymusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/tom-hiddleston-hank.jpg
That’s looks like Maddie Hasson who plays Billie Jean, Hank’s 2nd wife.
oh wow, she does
my only take from this is i love her shoes and i need them in my life, stat.
Some of you are missing the obvious, the U.S. Weekly (dang you autocorrect) telegraphed more shenanigans to come.
Yes, BUY more US Weekly.
Seriously, “more shenanigans” indicates that they reported on some shenanigans already. Going to a play and dinner, whether dating or not, hardly constitutes shenanigans.
They are using their relationship as a marketing tool. Yeah, I would call that shenanigans.
I’d call going to a paparazzi hangout for dinner when there were plenty of places they could go and be left alone, shenanigans as well. Hollywood relationships that ramp up before awards season are bound to be tainted by the PR machine, since image is KING.
If their movie wasn’t being listed on Oscar prediction lists, I doubt they would have bothered to go to The Wolseley. That’s the only thing I side-eye them for since it’s so obvious why they made that choice.
But that is not what US Weekly reported, is it?
I didn’t see anything in the US Weekly article about more shenanigans to come. I’m just commenting on the the specific actions taken that *I* constitute as shenanigans. Just one so far…
It wouldn’t surprise me if they both lay low until festivals start up — they’ve got the word out about a possible coupling — and will likely confirm it one way or another when promotion is in full swing.
@Nutballs, I wasn’t replying to you. Do have some lemonade and ruminate with me as to why Nerdist keeps promising a podcast and not delivering one.
My bad. Does the lemonade have vodka, whiskey or blue curacao in it?
Last week, Nerdist promised it today!! How long does that take to put a dang podcast up??? I love me some Kingsley and McKellen, but I need Tom to wax poetic with that velvety voice of his on what it was like playing HankyDank.
black currant vodka and blue curacao in the lemonade. It’s called a Pacific Breeze. Yummy and very pretty. http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/pacific-breeze-cocktails-2005
.
Girl, are you mad, why are you acting as if you are ashamed of Tom? It is stupid.
It’s just that sometimes, when it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it may be a duck. They can’t have spent reams of time together, they’re promoting a movie together shortly that could garner them both major noms and they’re also part of the same mega bucks Marvel franchise. They both want to take their careers to the next level. Going to somewhere like the Wolsey and being fucked off/dismayed/shocked to be swarmed by paps is like standing in the pouring rain and weeping that you’re soaked through. If they were smiling and holding hands that whole time and jumped in a cab holding hands/looking ‘together’ I’d think ‘yeah, you’re making it public’, fair enough, that’s one way to do it but it’s the faux ‘oh no! you caught us and we didn’t want that!’ shebang that makes it odd also. Perhaps they really do fancy each other and are seeing each other, but the evidence to the contrary makes it all seem contrived. Being a Puddletom fan I just hope if it’s real she’s shagging him into next week because frankly, I would.
Did you see the video, though, @LondonGal? I think it’s difficult to act lovey-dovey in that kind of environment.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PC3BsydvBTo
But, you know, people will have different interpretations of the video.
Geez the women in the comments are calling her a whore. Sexist much?
@jammypants, I just can’t with women who use that term for other women. It is inexcusable.
Jealousy can get so ugly.
Oh I agree it’s vile, but then I find it odd you’d put yourself in a position you know will be vile then look shocked and ambushed! I just found the lack of ‘together’ in the cab odd, if your G/F was looking that horrified and shocked I’d expect my BF to reach for my hand at least? or sit near me? But why put yourself through that when it makes them so obviously uncomfortable?
I wouldn’t bet you @LondonGal that the next set of photo’s with them together will be very different then these. I imagine there will be more smiling, more touching, less of the negative impression that some took from this “date night”.
Stay tuned…….
What does Scooby-doo say… Rut-ro!

This is a joke!
It´s like when someone sent to Cdan a blind item saying that Cumberbatch´s wife was escort.
People are really mean!
I totally believe this is what happened, I have thought that since the sightings of her with him in January. I’m not saying I am correct just that I won’t be the only one thinking this either, they must know this? Even if it isn’t true some people will think this is what happened. I don’t know, is this good or bad publicity for their film? Do they even care that people think that as long as their names are in the papers?
People kept saying sightings in Jan. What sighting? I’m just curious.
But I don´t because is bunch of lies.
That blog is horrible and full of crap.
I hate to say it but it’s plausible. When you’re an actor/actress working away from your significant other for long stretches of time, combined with the “closeness” purported to exist between cast and crew on film sets…it can definitely be a recipe for extracurricular activity. And playing husband and wife? Forget it. It’s done.
I find Hiddleston immensely attractive (although I know nothing about him, personally, other than how he’s portrayed PR-wise) and I bet if he’s interested in a woman he brings out all the tactics – that voice, especially. Something about him strikes me as very intense and rakish. If I was on the receiving end of that and was engaged…yikes.
There so many bad fiction out there that it´s hard not laugh because is all bulls*t:
– Cdan wrote a blind item about a actor that used a actress to cover the fact that he is gay.
– Blind item: wrote another one about a cheater.
It looks like someone took a quick look at gossip blogs and decided to create a blind item that fit with whatever’s popular. It’s a little too convenient and frankly sounds like someone on tumblr sent it in.
I think it’s hilarious that some people are in such deep denial that even when something plausible is in front of them, they refuse to see it. I think it’s entirely plausible, if not most likely, true that they had an on set affair, that they are probably more in lust/like than anything else and are obviously willing to cheapen whatever it is to sell themselves and their film. Don’t worry ladies, this man will still be available for his greatest love, his career.
I’m sure he can be a nice guy, a good guy in many respects, but let’s not kid ourselves here. The overlap probably happened. No one knows him well enough to say for certain that it didn’t.
Stupid too because the only reason why it’s not out there more is because neither of them are famous enough to draw that kind of attention from the majority of the masses.
Madly, I think there are plenty of us who could buy into the possibility that THEO had an on-set affair, we’re just not willing to accept that as probable without something better than conjecture or blind items. I see very little of what’s going on, so I put a higher demand of proof (such as words spoken or actions that are legitimately confirmed) before slapping a negative label on him.
Yes, there are some who can’t conceive of the possibility that dear charming Hiddles could be a douchebag. But many of the posters here are mature, insightful women who know not to trust that his public persona is an accurate representation of the real person or his character. He is an actor, after all.
I have a similar impression to yours in that his career is his first love; a woman would need to fit within the construct of his goals and aspirations to be his longtime partner. But that can be said for most men — they’re defined by their achievements, not who they’re associated with — so he’s typical in that regard.
Because something is plausible, it must have happened? I’m with Nutty, my burden of proof where someone’s character is involved is considerably higher than that. I can imagine quite a bit, as my all-time crush once said, but that doesn’t make it real.
I agree with Nutballs and TB
Nerdist is having trouble getting approval on the “edits, ” which will likely be most of the podcast. It devolved into a very base, disrespectful conversation about nudity and anatomy (Hiddleston’s) initiated by del Toro and blatantly aimed at selling movie tickets to rabid stans. It was sexist, demeaning and gross. I saw an amateur video that was later taken down. TH was clearly uncomfortable. Women aren’t the only ones being objectified.
That was within the first 10 minutes of the hour long podcast and Nerdist itself released it on its twitter account, in addition to the poorly filmed amateur one floating around. The amateur one actually goes longer into the segment before she can be told to turn her camera off. And Chris Hardwick made the comment about Loki’s pokey stick. GDT just smiled and nodded while Tom buried his face in his hands.
DT started it with the comment about seeing “Hiddleston a**.” Doesn’t make it right no matter who said it. Still crass.
I didn’t say it was right or wrong. Just that Nerdist had already released that segment to the public and it didn’t devolve into that, it started like that. It does change tone but towards a discussion of the production of the film, Tom doing imitations of some people, including GDT, and a discussion about Hank Williams.
Whoaaa – that’s English for ‘Stop a Horse.’
From reports, that exchange about his butt and bits was about a minute long. The rest of the 30 minutes probably was more highbrow.
Edits probably have to do with spoilers and issues with the mention of other movies like ISTL.
…the clip is still out there if you look hard enough. Forgiving the bad pun, of course.
I’m going to try to use “Whoaa – that’s English for ‘Stop a Horse’ in conversation this week. Maybe even in a court argument. Thank you.
All Alan Partridge – can’t take credit!
The Nerdist podcast is live.
http://nerdist.com/nerdist-podcast-live-at-sdcc-with-maisie-williams-tom-hiddleston-and-guillermo-del-toro/
Finally! nerdist.com/nerdist-podcast-live-at-sdcc-with-maisie-williams-tom-hiddleston-and-guillermo-del-toro/
I haven’t listened yet.
I know what I’m doing for the next hour! Right after I have Colin mix up one of the Pacific Breezes described above.
Lilac, please ask Colin to make enough for two. I hope no one’s in the chaise lounge ’cause I’m ready to settle in and listen myself.
There’s a pitcher. But you add the shot of curacao in yourself so you get the pretty swirl effect.
*falls down* *searches for cellphone*
i think i read the reecipe wr.gon i put 3 tablesopnso otf curaçao in xthe glass. was that rightl?
*burp*
*ZZZ-Zzzz-ZZzzz-hngGGggh-Ppbhww- zZZzzzZZ…*
The poor sign language interpreter!
I want to know where they had to go after doing the podcast. Tom and GDT said they had to o do another “thing” before they were done for the night and Maisie pretty much said the same thing; that she had another obligation after the podcast to do before she could go to any parties. The podcast started at 10:30 so Tom and GDT had something else scheduled after 11 and for Maisie, it was probably close to midnight. And Tom said he and GDT had been going all day before they got to the podcast. That’s a killer day. It also means there is lots more stuff out there that we haven’t heard or seen yet.
I wondered about that too. btw – After listing to Maisie’s portion, I now have a bit of a girl crush. What a cool kid.
Love her. She’s so refreshing. “Ser Who?” “Ser Hugh!”
Cracks me up in the podcast when GdT says (while Tom is riffing a bit) ‘That’s what lunch was like, every day! He can imitate anyone!’. So we found where DancingBear!Tom went–he was entertaining the Mexican Teddy Bear!
And being interrupted with “awwww!” every time he spoke.
that kills me! GDT is so cute and hilarious!
I now want GDT to go completely out of his ordinary to film a road trip comedy with Maisie and Tom as siblings
So someone on twitter posted they saw Tom getting his visa to America today, as she was. Is Tom going to meet the twins?
She’s already met his folks, so now it’s his turn.
Then the wedding plans can begin!!!!!
The twins will make lovely bridesmaids, and Luke will be the best groomsman TH could hope for.
In all seriousness, if I were him, I’d get the hell out of Dodge too. Vacation time.
Airport pics are always good for celeb couples, no?
Instead of a purse, EO can hold a suitcase in front of her face. Plus ca change!
please tell me you are being funny lol, I am sure Tom Hiddleston has plenty of reasons to visit the states right now, and it won’t be to meet the Olsen twins. lol
More like some screen testing with his Skull Island leading lady, and get that film back of schedule.
it was a year ago, i just remember that he was caught getting his Visa in New York, and he didn’t come back to the UK till Nov ish.
I was. You should have picked up on the humor when I said that the twins would make *lovely* bridesmaids, and Luke would be the *best* – well, it’s meant in jest if the word best is used in conjunction with Luke at all.
i didn’t see your post lol… some of these posts are a bit out of synch on my timeline. i was originally replying to DT. 🙂
No worries!
Maybe he will be at NYFF. From@patrickheidmann:
You sure that Carol and I Saw the Light will be at NYFF? Don’t forget that this was only the first TIFF wave…
Nice try, but no. Now if you had said marriage license instead…
that’s a joke people, stop throwing rotten fruit at me.
As a citizen of the UK, he would not need a visa to visit the US for the purpose of visiting people. His British passport would be sufficient. He would need one to work here and parts of Kong will be filmed in the states
Doesn’t mean he won’t visit the in laws while there
You probably DO need a visa to visit the Olsen twins.
@DT lol!
In all seriousness, his work visa situation was probably sorted out years ago, he’s worked in the US pretty consistently ever since he signed on with Marvel. I bet the studio has herds of immigration lawyers on speed dial to expedite visas for actors they cast in lead roles.
That’s not to say there wouldn’t be hoops to jump through if there are any changes to status. Daniel Radcliffe had problems last year with his visa. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/10991680/Daniel-Radcliffe-refused-entry-to-US-due-to-visa-problems.html
In laws? So, there was a marriage now?
@Dara, very true. Although some, depending on the type, do have to be renewed periodically and updated whenever there is a change in employer or even project. He hasn’t done any work stateside for Marvel for 2 years. Even his other work with Marvel’s owner Disney – The Muppets and *gasp* Pirate Fairy was two years ago. ISTL, a different employer, ended 7 months ago and it seems that they’ve done a lot of the follow-up work on soundtrack with Rodney in London. His Crimson Peak work for Legendary all took place in Canada.
But again, none of that would matter if the purpose were to meet somebody’s family. He would just need his British passport so what he’s doing with the visa people is, like everything else, a mystery.
I will say that a visitor ‘visa’ is only good for 90 days – or something like that. After that I think you need some sort of extension visa.
Maybe he won’t be back before November!
What will the girls at G&W do?!
Yes, the “visitor visa” is only good for 90 days but an actual physical visa document is not required for British citizens (and many other countries). They just need to show the passport, which gets stamped with the arrival date.
@Lilacflowers–
I’m side-eyeing the whole Visa thing as well. I’m sure if he comes over on an O1, that’s handled by his Management in conjunction with whomever holds his contract. That may be another good reason for the lengthy Marvel contract that actually benefits him, as justification for extending an O1.
But if he’s considering coming over and living in the US for some length of time and it isn’t tied in to an active, specific project, I suppose he might be looking in to a different classification Visa.
I just can’t see him moving to LA longer term just yet, though. He’s said lovely things about it, but doesn’t he LOVE London?
Well, people here did say it can’t be serious until someone changes zip codes, lol. Besides, he needs to network for that nomination and that will take longer than 90 days. He saw how hard it was to work and promote at the same time, won’t be making that mistake.
Getting more entertaining all the time.
If I believe the tweeter (a qualified if), it’s gotta be for a work visa. I think @Totally is spot on, it’s likely an O-1. They do need to be renewed periodically, but if everything is in order from past visas most of the time the renewal can be done without an in-person interview, although that might be at the discretion of the consular office. Maybe someone at the embassy just wanted to meet Loki…
Depending on where you live and where you are going, business visas are a big, giant pain the a$$. I just helped someone gather up all the paperwork needed for a South-Korean born, naturalized American citizen applying for a Brazilian work visa. Good times. At least the damn thing will be good for 6 years once it’s finally processed.
Where does Lizzie live – NY or LA?
@brownie – I think LA, but only because that’s where I’ve seen her photographed by paparazzi most often. She could have a place in NY too.
its a marriage visa “ducks” :-p
Does anyone have a link to this on twitter?
I haven’t seen it.
I went looking for it after it was mentioned here.
try this – https://twitter.com/mollymollywhale/status/626036076801585152
it follows the usual pattern of someone tweeting they’ve seen/met Tom and the inevitable questions. Usually it’s “OMG, you’re so lucky – where and when?”, now I guess the new go-to will be “Was he with someone?”
Hang on, just because the twitter girl was getting a visa for the States, does that mean Tom’s visa was also for the States? is it a special “get your visas for america here!” office? I’m not familiar with the process but he could be going anywhere right now.
lol someone did ask if he was alone, which he was. Shocking. Good to know there was no need for Olly or Luke to hold his hand while he’s getting his paperwork sorted out. that’s a good Tommy. 🙂
@Heather – if the tweeter was getting her US visa then she had to have been at the US embassy in London. I don’t think the US outsources something like that to Joe’s House of Visas.
I’ve used a visa service here in the US for various business visas to other places (Brazil, China, etc), but that’s only because those countries didn’t require the person to appear in person at a consulate to issue the visa. There’s no way around that requirement that I know of and most US visas do need an in-person appointment, at least the first time you are issued one.
I kinda want to start a business called Joe’s House of Visas.
@Dara – thanks! that makes sense, I didn’t even think about the embassy.
wrong place.
This article was posted above. It notes that they have been in a relationship since filming. The author, according to someone over at LSA, used to write for People, EW, and the LA Times, and likely has good sources.
http://www.hollywood-elsewhere.com/2015/07/williams-biopic-telluride-toronto/
I’m gping to side-eye this article a bit, too, as it implies direct quotes from the viewer:
“I’ve heard from a research-screening source about I Saw The Light, which apparently runs in the vicinity of two hours. ”
BUT the actual text is straight from Twitter and gossip feeds that were single-source, second hand. I’m thinking this might be another case of slightly lazy journalism (or, as we say in academic circles, a ‘review of the literature’ rather than actual research) and I certainly can’t consider him a primary source. Unfortunate.
I think elisabeth is a beautiful woman and tom’s type. Remember how he had a crush on Scarlett during avengers.elisabeth looks a lot like Scarlett, full lips great body, not too skinny. But at the same time i don’t see him with a woman eho is more succesful than him, if she gets the oscar nom and he doesnt, that’s it. Poor jane arthy. Have heard something about her recently? Has she moved on from favouriting everything tom on twitter?
He didn’t seem to have any trouble hangin’ with Gwen Christie or Kat Dennings, both arguably more successful and well known then he is or was.
oooh in a relationship since filming? The gossip magazines are going to have an even bigger field day when they dig a little deeper into this.
so, yet another industry article referencing the relationship.
Frenchy, I’ve read Jeff’s site for a while and he knows his stuff on films but other than that I don’t think he knows what he’s talking about, he’s seen the tabloid reports and made an assumption.
As TB pointed out to get a US work visa, an O/1 you need to go for an interview at the US embassy. They’re initially issued for 3 yrs then need to be renewed annually.
@catherine That makes sense. He probably had the P-2 like Dan Radcliffe, project-to-project, and is getting it bumped up, since he’ll be working on multiple projects (promo for CP/ISTL/TNM for AMC; networking; Skull Island).
In an interview with Josh Horiwitz from April? EO said she moved to LA this Feb after 8 yrs in NYC. She also used the term ‘we’ in her discussion. Roommate?? I don’t think she’s been back since then.
omg has anyone seen that bullshit article in star magazine, I seen it on twitter, something about, “Toms not the type to go for someone elses girl so he waited till he heard her relationship was over and called her that very day, a close pal of the Avengers star told Star” looks like the cheating rumours are worrying Luke…….
Link or it didn’t happen!
haha I dont know how to link! someone posted it on twitter! I can try and find user??
ok I feel weird about posting some girls name on here so if you search elizabeth olsen on twitter its not that far to scroll down like 20 hours ago, she posted a photo of the article. sorry im a computer dummy
Link or not – if it’s Star, it must be true. There are no lies there! There sources are always ‘close friend’ or ‘close family member.’ With sources like that, how could it be anything but true.
And Luke worries about everything…everything. That’s his damn job.
Why do damage control at Star!? And if his camp is driving it, wouldn’t it be from DM? This is a silly turn of events.
I don’t know, but I know the Star is pretty crap – I was being sarcastic in my previous post. They’re about one step up from the National Enquirer. So wouldn’t damage control be pretty useless there?
It’s all silly, that’s the only thing we’re sure of.
It is very bizarre, it points out the fact that she was engaged during filming but then makes the point of Tom waited for the relationship to end before making a move, also “sparks flew on set” it just highlights the fact that something went on during filming but basically trying to say, he waited until the very day she dumped boyd before he boinked her. Oh and its only been a few months but they spend every second together, Elizabeth is happier than she has been in years…….. No other mag has printed like this they have all gone with dating, hooking up, only a new thing that might get serious. Where has all this crap come from??
Six months passed between her ending her engagement and THEO’s unhappy pappy photos this week. I wonder was THEO together during the shoot and consciously tried to give it a cooling off period of six months (helped along by la lot of separate work in different places) or did they just get together now because now works?
Browniecake, Quick – copyright ‘unhappy pappy’ while you can! Do it!!
Were they together during the shoot…that’s the $64,000 question.
I think THEO and their teams want us to think ‘No, of course not.’ But only a few people know for sure…and they aren’t posting here, sadly.
According to several sightings back then before any rumours were flying she was seen in his area with him, at the cafe and restaurants in area at the end of January beginning of Feb. I only say that because it hasn’t been 6 months since they seen eachother, at the time of sightings I don’t think anyone thought they were together because she had only just broke up with Boyd.
I feel like if anything, this story confirms the rumors than dispells anything. It kicks up dirt, not settles it in a not very subtle way.
^^^^ This.
Those teams need to get in the war room and do some serious strategizing. And NOT plant anything until they’ve got a plan! A working plan.
THEO, lay low until festivals. Remember, everything can be delivered.
@madly Exactly what I was thinking! Is this just tabloids jumpin on bandwagon and adding their own take or has this come from someones camp?
Unless Boyd sent it in. Kidding.
Seriously though, this is sloppy, but will give more conversation on this site and elsewhere, which is the point, I guess.
Oh my, step away from CB for the day and now our dear PuddleTom is featured in The Star?? Oh my, that’s what happens when you hook up with an Olsen.
My take on it if someone’s running with the gossip and filling in the gaps with their imagination. I doubt Luke would be giving that kind of information to such a lowbrow rag.
But I agree with Frenchy, that the squeaky clean image that Tom has tried to maintain is in jeopardy if they don’t strategize on how to put those cheating rumors to rest. Lizzy by virtue of being an Olsen and the one engaged has a steeper mountain to climb so their teams need to get on this.
Considering the origin points for the ‘sightings’, I don’t consider them confirmed. Easy to say after the fact.
Her PR, his PR…AND the movie’s PR need to work together. The Bermuda Triangle of did they, didn’t they, when, and what’s next.
I predict a charitable cause to make everyone love THEO and do something of value to pull us ALL out of this mud. What was it Hank suffered from? No, not the cheatin’ heart, that won’t work here. Spina Bifida! Still no cure, and little ones suffer from it and its topical. Quite a terrible disease so don’t think I am making fun. Expect a THEO Spina Bifida awareness plus something or other. You heard it here first, folks.
I sincerely hope they don’t use something like Spina Bifida for their own gain in all of this. :\
It pains me to see his name in that rag. It’s just so bottom of the barrel and full of teen gossip.
