Hollywood Life is one of the least reliable gossip outlets out there, but they seem to know that they should stay in their lane, and they mostly stick to covering the younger celebrities, the Justin Biebers, the Hadid sisters, the Kardashian-Jenners, etc. If you had asked me two months ago if I thought Tom Hiddleston would ever be on Hollywood Life’s radar, I would have said that you were crazy. Of course Hiddles would be a non-entity to HL. But that was before he Tiddlesbanged his way into the big leagues. Now it’s all catalogue-model underwear editorials, Snapchatting Selena Gomez concerts, swan pastries and Taylor Swift’s private jet. Now Tom Hiddleston has earned his place amongst the Jenners and Biebers of the gossip world.
Taylor Swift, 26, is so serious about Tom Hiddleston, 35, that on June 20 a source told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY Taylor is “eager” for him to meet Mama Swift!
“Taylor would love for her mom to meet Tom,” an insider told HollywoodLife.com. “She’s eager to introduce them to each other. Taylor and her mom are super close, so it’s just a matter of time that the three of them will get to spend time together. If Taylor and Tom weren’t serious, she wouldn’t waste her mom’s time.”
On June 18, an insider told HollywoodLife.com that Tom is such the British gentleman, and Taylor is so seriously enamored! “Taylor is smitten with Tom because he treats her like a real lady,” the source told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. “She loves being treated like a princess, who doesn’t, but he goes out of his way to be a gentleman to her.” “He’s swept her off her feet, and she’s loving every minute right now.”
Sigh… Taylor is very close to her mother. My guess is that Taylor is either very excited to introduce Tom to her mom, or Taylor has already made the introduction. Her mom is constantly around, although Taylor no longer has her mom as her manager, so at least there’s that. I hope this was worth it, Tom.
I’m assuming HL’s next exclusive will be “Taylor Swift can’t wait for Olivia and Meredith to cuddlefest with Tom!” But the truth is, I think that’s probably already happening. Ten bucks says Olivia and Meredith (Taylor’s beloved cats) are spending time with their new daddy in New York and Nashville. It’s always hardest on the cats though – they might miss their old daddy, Calvin Harris. Despite reports that Calvin was allergic to cats, he ended up spending a lot of time with Liv and Meredith, and I believe he even got babysitting duty for the kitties a few times. Thankfully, Hiddles has a history as a cat-lover. So that should help.

Blimey, this train moves fast.
Seriously, top rebound story of the century.
I have two daughters about Taylor’s age. I would not want my daughter to formally introduce such a recent boyfriend.
Too serious too fast, baby girl.
Indeed! The madness has begun. Oh Tom, do you even get a say in whether you want to meet possible in-laws??
Watch the Night Manger love scene(s) on YT, and you will understand why Tay is with Tom.
Watched – did nothing for me.
“It’s always hardest on the cats though…”
Comedy gold. That is the essence of this whole “relationship”. I’ll eat my hat if they get married. It’s just preposterous.
Lol, Hollywood lies….
Yea, I read over at Gossip Cop something about Beiber asking his fans to boycott this site or something. I hope that is really happening. There was a point years ago when I actually would first go onto that site for celeb gossip/news. Only It became all too clear how they manufacture stuff and it is disgusting.
It looks like he got drunk with the cat!
That cat definitely looks like it’s p*ssed out of it’s brains to me, he looks like he’s sorry he mixed that vodka and cream…
LOL! I’m honestly wondering if they had to sedate the cat to get it to keep still, that’s how out of it the poor thing looks. Not a happy p*ssy, that’s for sure. (Pun obviously intended).
What is that face he keeps making in photos? It’s like he’s trying to hold a fart in.
LOL he’s smouldering!
The DM has pictures of him when he was young and he looked so adorable back then. Much better than this “generic Hollywood guy” he’s trying to be now.
I was cackling. Like out loud in bed Mr. Smiley is looking at me like I’m insane but I’m cracking up you guys!
Girl, bye.
Taylor Swift has always rubbed me the wrong way, but I’ve always tried to give her the benefit of the doubt. Despite that, girl, bye. She wants her life to be a real life fairytale. There are things about being in a long term relationship that don’t fit into her diagram though lol. That having been said, I hope this continues into the universe because this is comic gold. He has gone back on so much that his PR pushed. Also is anyone else reminded of two praying mantis’s when you see them? Lol better watch out Tom.
Agreed. Also, her coy smile like she ate the canary incites irrational disdain on my part. So smug. So sly.
Soooo…the year she was single and how much she loved and respected herself for being single…that was just…gasp…a marketing move???
I actually think TeeTee are perfect together. I think he’s probably just the right kind of guy for her, so I can’t hate it as much as I’d like, and he was one of my BIG HUGE girl crushes, I love me a nerdy dorky humorous intelligent man. I think he’ll be a nice boyfriend to her, so long as she doesn’t go stage 4 clinger on him.
Wow, is there anything going on between these two that does not come accompanied with a full press package?
That kinda the point of a PR relationship, yes?
No – Huzzah!
I wonder how her mom reacts…??? I had a friend who’s parents never got invested in her relationships and wasn’t too responsive when she told them about her new bfs. It was because she behaved exactly like Swift. This person is the world, but when they breakup, she has a meltdown. I wouldn’t want to get too invested in that either.
Barf. Barf on everything about Taylor and Tom.
Stop the madness! Oh the humanity!
Kaiser is trying to kill Sixer by making her giggle to death!
And I want Emma Hiddleston’s reaction to all this.
I want the Giff of Tom’s Mum’s reaction to all of this. He’s already admitted she spent quite a lot of time rolling he eyes at his show off tendencies. By now I should imagine her eyeballs have wandered off on their own somewhere for a bit of a lie down and a nice cup of tea.
When he gets home again he will be on the naughty step for months and she’ll be calling him “THOMAS!”
What a great mental picture of Mrs Hiddleston! I have to say I would find it strange to see my son in his underwear on the front page of tabloid newspapers!
That is funny. My stomach has hurt from laughing since I started reading this. Keep it up ladies; you are the best!
Imagine the ribbing he’s going to get at the next family gathering!
I honestly don’t know how much more I can take!
I don’t have much work on to distract me, either.
haha! poor Sixer. Have some of Lilac’s amazing cocktails!
And to think Tom starred in Archipelago, he should know how awkward family time can get even without Monday nudies.
That cat’s face is all of our faces. Also, that line “Tom has earned his place amongst the Jenners ..”oh ouch. That is SO damning, Kaiser. I expected to hear ominous music echoing all around and an audience screaming “Don’t go down to the basement”!! Still, I am LOVING this!
Ugh…already exhausted by both of them separately and collectively. Idk why I clicked. Taylor seemed a lot less annoying a week, two weeks ago and Tom imo is in pr overdrive
No, no you have to carry on clicking, not for them but for the celebitches comments – there’s comic gold in them that hills on this site.
Tiddles is the gift that keeps on giving, this is all very entertaining 🙂
“It’s always hardest on the cats” LOL. Totally co-sign some other Celebitchyers feelings. As a LEGS fan this is distressing, but I am now being consoled by the entirely justified levels of snark. It is all so toe-curling you have to laugh. Oh yeah, and ‘paper pants’. Was that Sixer? Anyway, LOL.
Paper KNICKERS! Must call them knickers because it’s emasculating and therefore funny.
Poor LEGS. He’s either dying of joy from all the attention or dying of shame from all the mockery. Whichever one it is will only result in more mockery!
I’m happy with either!
probably both…dying of joy and shame at the same time…something’s wrong with his mind IMO
SVXK IT YOU HATERS! HIDDLESWIFT FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think I love you.
What is SVXK and do I need to steal it for future use?
I think maybe it’s “suck it” when used by Twi-Harders and other superfans (superstans?) in fits of rage.
Guys! When did this happen???? I missed it!
something like this does not merely happen, it was F A T E.
Gold. (:
😀
Okay, you got me with that one. Grins all around…..
I’m so embarrassed for both of them. Her, for acting like a tween, tweeting her every thought, hope and dream, and him, for losing all credibility by agreeing to play a part in Taylor’s loopy fantasy life. Ugh!!! I thought he was way above this BS. Desperation doesn’t look good on either of them.
Like Calvin, I’m allergic to cats (some more than others, oddly(. I’m going to stay with a friend who has a cat–what should I arm myself with? Benadryl? Sudafed? Any idea how to minimize the reaction?
I’d get some non-drowsey allergy pills – I tend to buy the 24 hour ones.
And maybe some kind of topical cream for hives if you get those- hydrocortisone tends to help me when I get hives from whatever.
I’m technically just on the chart for pet allergies – I was told be a really mean allergist to “throw your cat outside. you don’t need it in the house” when I was about 8. And I can still remember how horribly I hated that woman for that, and how all I could say was “but she’ll die… there’s coyotes”. And for her to just bluntly say that to a little kid in a really condescending tone… no words. Thank god my dad immediately gave me a hug on the way out of the office and said there was no way we’d have to get rid of the cat – we’d just make sure to keep up on allergy meds and keep her out of my bedroom.
That being said – I’ve always had cats since then… and some cats make me really sneezy and itchy – it seems to be depending on the type of fur. Our shorthair doesn’t really bother me unless she’s been in the dusty basement because I have a far worse allergy to dust. My grandmother has a ragdoll mix and I find that cat stuffs me up much more.
If you can get an everyday allergy pill (available in the UK, not sure about US) start taking them a few days to a week before you leave and continue through the visit to your friend. Allergy meds often work better as a preventative measure than a palliative one. I’m allergic to both dust and cleaning, so I’m just in the habit of taking an allergy pill daily. It really helps.
Just don’t dust and clean, problem solved.
If it’s feasible, declare the bedroom you’ll be sleeping in a “cat free zone”. If your friend is really your friend, they’ll banish the cat from that room ahead of time and clean top to bottom – putting fresh sheets on the bed just before you arrive. Once you’re there, under no circumstance touch the cat or anything the cat has touched and then touch yourself – I usually do okay if I can keep the cat and cat-adjacent items away from my eyes. Benadryl is the only over-the-counter thing that has worked for me once I’m in the presence of a fur-monster, but I know some who swear by the prescription injections if there will long-term exposure – sorry, the name escapes me.
I love Twiddles! Admittedly a Tay Tay fan. The best way to move on from a breakup is to move under someone else 😉 I hope they get married and have Twiddle babies and Twiddle cats – can’t you imagine a wedding between these two?! Legs dancing with a top hat, Tay Tay in a wedding gown with a 20ft train and giant tiara, and Olivia and Meridth as the flower girls – then they ride off into the sunset in a horse drawn carriage! Swan Pastry puffs for desert of course.
Plus a wedding song (sung by the bride) dissing every other non-gentleman she dated before.
‘To all the jerks I’ve loved before…Who traveled in and out my private plane door..’.
You actually made me laugh out loud. God, it would just be amazing if this ended in a wedding…
The song is a duet, so I need to hear it in Taylor and Selena’s voices, but I only hear Julio and Willie in my mind. 🙂
Ooooo… How about married in a swan-drawn gondola… Filled with whipped cream?!!
On seats of fudge!
Talk about wearing your heart on your sleeve.
My own mother would be advising to hold back a bit and not overdo the ‘every minute together’ bit. And she was usually completely right.
Is the photo new or a manip? The one with the cat and the whiskey bottle. This is the most, how do I put this, I don’t normally comment on this type of things, so correct me if I am wrong guys, expansive spin doctor aided romance I’ve ever seen. So precisely planned down to every last detail. Two threads a day is like getting cheese bombed.
I am either witness history here or… something.
The cat and whiskey picture is real and from a photoshoot done last summer in London. The cat is named Bentley. Bentley is a model.
See… The cat and the whiskey bottle. THAT’s the look that tips me into the hot zone with Hiddles. Posehard in tighty whities, not so much…
the one of hiddles with a cat? It’s old, from last year at least.
A lot of it is the media capitalizing on the sheer insanity of this pairing and making up as much nonsense about it as humanly possible. It’s not all necessarily coming from her camp, although I’m positive she’s trying to steer whatever she does put out in a very specific manner.
Her mom is around all the time and seems like a nice lady who probably likes whoever Taylor brings to dinner. What I really want to know is what HIS family thinks. I want to know so, so badly. I get the feeling this isn’t thrilling mummy dearest on so many levels. Younger woman, uber famous, bleach blonde hair. Ha! The thought of him bringing her home kinda cracks me up. He MUST adore her, because everything about this relationship seems like an uphill battle for him.
I love this relationship so much. So much joy and laughter these last several days. This may be PR-driven but it doesn’t mean it’s not real. They make so much sense together. While they may appear different on paper, they are basically the same person: try-hard dorks with an unabashed love of everything and anything. Basically made for each other. She gets the grown-up prince she’s always wanted and has never managed to date (all been boys or boyish, haven’t they?), and he gets the mega superstar whose emotional transparency and romanticism are closer to his own natural state than this guarded persona he’s built up over the past few years. Say what you will about Taylor, but I think she’s incredibly clever, impressive and uniquely in charge of her own career and destiny. I find it absurd when people compare her to other 25 year olds they know who work as retail clerks and entry-level associates.
Oh my…. This fanfiction…..
Haha! I am a far bigger Hiddleston than Swift fan, but yeah, make this fiction happen! I am officially Tiddleswifted.
This comment made me laugh so hard…its like a tween wrote it.
Or Swifty’s PR…
If you need an extra copy of the US Taylor commemorative magazine (with rainbow letters), my dollar store has a full rack. No need to pay 15 bucks on eBay.
Need to save my pennies for the baby bump covers!
US needs to have a combination commemorative edition. Rainbows and paper knickers = forever.
Oh, they may be the real deal. I just find the comments hilarious, and I’m a fan of neither (though I do sort of admire her game, business wise).
and what is wrong with retail clerks or entry level associates? can they not also be clever and impressive? I dont understand what point you are making here?
So who is Speedy Gonzales now: Kaley Cuoco or Taylor Swift?
Something about her must like heartbreak. :/
implying that she is actually invested in those “relationships”.
I must say that reading the Odes to Hiddleswift on Tumblr gives me life.
The Swifties are the most over the top fans I have ever read.
Reading the essays about Thomas the Disappointment are even more entertaining, though. His army is turning on him.
Essays and think pieces. Imagine that. Is really not that serious. I say that as one who’s been disappointed in him while still getting a chuckle out of some of the comments. I keep saying I’ll avoid these posts but I keep coming back for the snark.
The Keyboard Warriors on Tumblr are killing me – and consuming my mobile data allowance at an alarming rate. If I have to scroll past another seemingly endless essay about why everyone should just be happy their idol has found true love, or one trying to convince me the underwear photoshoot was “art”, I’ll scream. I’ve been spending less time over there, not because of whatever is going on with Tay-To, but because of all the extreme fan reactions to it. I am the very definition of an over-invested fan, and even I don’t care that much.
Tumblr is good for certain things and also you need to know who to follow. But… no… sliding off bed in a pair of ridiculous-looking underwear with wonky brow is not art. Just no.
@Grace – agreed. I thought I had my dash calibrated to just the right level of Hiddles – but recent developments have it all out of balance, even blogs that are usually rational have gone a little nutty.
Bunny Boiler Mode Reloaded. This girl doesn’t know how to slow down. No wonder why guys run away from her like there’s no tomorrow. Run, Tom, run before you become Mr. Taylor Swift!
Too late…he is already Mr. Taylor Swift….and apparently he likes it! Look at his face in the pictures at selena’s concert….he’s so glad to be there in all his idiocy!
Am i the only one who doesn’t get this relationship at all? Im going to eye roll this whole thing until they get married or something.
That last photo killed it, comedy gold, props to you!!
Gotta wonder: will her PR ever, ever learn? They make her look desperate and foolish every. single. time. I mean we’re back to 2010 levels of nonsense here. Girl, you’re rebounding. You don’t do this crap with a rebound. Do casual gossip followers actually buy this still? I mean, the NYT called out her antics; this can’t still be working in her favor can it? I follow gossip too much to really tell.
Also: Your first paragraph is depressing.
For every person who calls her out, there’s someone out there defending her because either “she’s still young” or “it’s sexist to make fun of her” or both. She wouldn’t continue to do this if she didn’t think it would work.
I’m new to this. I only know what I’ve read here about TH.
I predict a wedding sooner rather than later.
Isn’t this what he wanted all along? Didn’t he hit the jackpot?
Thank you for this site and al the comments and the escape from the reality of the real news that’s going on here in the U.S. 🙂
P.S. from reading all the snark/comments/timelines, it appears that TS was instrumental in getting Wintour to invite TH to dinner and the Met Gala. No?
Amen. Me too, came for the Dragonfly and stayed for the TnT.
If I were Taylor’s mom I would keep a pack of blank name tags by the front door just in case Tay flies in with the latest bf and stays for yet another house tour.
If I had a son or daughter who dated several people, I would probably need to write the current name on my hand or constantly repeat it in my head. It would be terrible to mix up Jessica and Julie, or Adam and Tom. I can barely keep my pets’ names straight.
This dude is such an old looking 35. It’s even worse when he is stood next to people in their 20s. I couldn’t believe it when someone told me this dude is 35 and Chadwick boseman is almost 40. Boseman looks 10-15 years younger. The kitty is very handsome though!
Calvin Harris must be writing his break up song right about now.
Gentleman AKA not asking her to put out. Which is nice but don’t trust those “Nice Guys”.
Who is feeding this info? Lol
They’re really perfect for each other, I can’t wait to see photos of Tom with Swifty’s cats!
