    Tom Hiddleston is one terrific actor. His “Night Manager” role was awesome. What was up with him and Taylor Swift? Always felt she was using him, but that’s just my opinion.

    • Julie says:

      She kind of admits that she used him in her own songs. She talks about having met this Joe guy she’s currently with and knowing he was the one but for some reason that I forget dating Tom anyway.

      I think it was suggested to her by her publicist after the clips of her dancing with Tom at the Met went viral. I believe she was still with Calvin Harris at the time. So she has a messy breakup with Calvin and then decides that she needs to quickly change the narrative because she cannot take another public relations beat down. That was my theory then and that’s my theory now five years on.

      • Case says:

        I co-sign this theory, Julie. She does openly admit in the songs that he was all-in on her and she was just messing around and couldn’t care less about him. I like Taylor’s music, but I’m puzzled why fans cheer on this behavior as though Tom deserved it because she was “meant to be” with Joe or whatever. It’s…really weird and completely convoluted with obvious PR crap that Taylor likes to pretend doesn’t exist in her life.

    • Cudd says:

      another fake coupling that backfired due to overexposure showing how orchestrated it all was (I ❤️ TS T-shirt etc) Tom is in the closet imo like Taylor Lautner/Jake G & Swift thought it could be like the others where she could write lyrics about a romance like an author writes fiction. She went overboard though w/it’s rollout, too obvious. Staged pappings is small brand compared to what was organized.
      No real feelings means no getting hurt & be in control of the fodder that makes the content that making the $$$$

      • That_Beach says:

        Tom is dating actress Zawe Ashton at the moment, and re Tom’s sexuality, when someone on Twitter asked Mark Gatiss (one of Tom’s colleagues, whom worked with him everyday for some months) about that he answered: “I’m gay and not in the closet, and Tom is straight”. So here is your answer about your “opinon”. The Taylor thing went pretty much as Julie and Case already said

      • Lightpurple says:

        Must be a sizable closet considering Zawe Ashton was living in it with him, along with his dog, for much of last year when he was lockdowned in Georgia.

    • Chicken says:

      If you listen to her songs, she has confirmed she was using him. Getaway Car is pretty damn clear, as is Long Story Short.

      • Lexy says:

        I always thought the reason she used Tom was because she wanted to get ahead of the Kanye drama that about to be dropped. I think she had possible feelings for Joe and didn’t want him to get mixed up in that mess.

        But I agree with Case, I hate the way people cheer her on regarding that relationship. If it was the other way around, her fans would have his head.

      • Chicken says:

        I’m a total Swiftie, so I am biased, but if she hadn’t done some overlapping f*ckery with Hiddleston and Joe, we might not have Cruel Summer, and I don’t want to live in a world without Cruel Summer.

    The vaccine turns people gay? Boooo, I was told it would turn me into a mutant bat person! I wanted to be a mutant bat person!! Dammit! So disappointed.

    (Seriously though, get vaccinated everyone)

  3. Case says:

    I was so hoping you’d mention Tom’s birthday today! My absolute favorite. He’s a complete dork (which has been at times cringey/mostly endearing), but I love his ever-present enthusiasm, kindness, and talent. He stands out as someone who has stayed true to himself and is never cynical or too cool for anything. I never expect to hear about a bad on-set attitude, abusive tendencies, or misogynistic behavior from him, and I can’t say that about many actors. He’s such a good one. And good lord, he wears a suit well. Happy Birthday, Tom!

  4. Cat says:

    Happy Birthday Tom! Can’t wait for the Loki series. And hope he gets to spend it with his girlfriend Zawe, and the racist trolls can cry into their pillows.

  5. Leah says:

    Will always see him as the guy who wore that homemade Taylor Swift tee. Lol.

    Re: vaccine. So that’s the new tinhat theory eh? I remember someone telling me last year that she didn’t want to get the vaccine because “tracking microchips” and I said “get the shot anyway, besides you are already holding onto a tracking device” (she was holding her cell phone), The look on her face was priceless.

    • (TheOG) Jan90067 says:

      As well as when she turns on her computer, or uses Google, or Alexa, or a smart TV, etc. Heck, just go out in the street and you have Google Earth and survelliance cams on every street corner. We are all *always* being “watched”. Welcome to the modern world.

  6. Lightpurple says:

    The vaccine turns people gay? Does it require both doses? I’ve had the first dose and I’m still straight.

    Happy 40th to my dear “husband” Tom. There is birthday cake on the veranda. And champagne. There is also about a foot of snow on the veranda so wear your boots.

    • BeanieBean says:

      No candles though, right? It’s still a pandemic. 😉

    • Miss Jupitero says:

      I knew you would have cake. I’ll shovel myself out of Watertown and head over.

      I miss Hiddles. The world needs more dorkiness.

    • Case says:

      Knew I could count on you to hold a party on the veranda, Lightpurple. I wonder how Tom feels about attending when he’s “husband” to so many of us. :p

      And @Miss Jupitero, the world really does need more darkness. I’m excited to see Tom promote Loki even if it’s just via Zoom interviews; I’ve missed hearing from him.

  7. ChloeCat says:

    So happy to see Chris Meloni come back as Elliot Stabler. That is one sexy man!

    • KBeth says:

      Meloni might be the hottest man on the planet.

      • Lightpurple says:

        I was fortunate to see him on stage a few times. The man has considerable presence and a great ass.

        I can say the same about Tom Hiddleston, amazing presence on stage and a great ass.

    • The Recluse says:

      Meloni is a national treasure. He should be President of the Best Chrises Club. When you read his Twitter, you can hear him saying it in that wonderful growl he has.

    • Nev says:

      @Lightpurple
      WORD on that ass.
      Thank you.

  8. Paddingtonjr says:

    Love me some Benson and Stabler. Hopefully, this is the first of many cross-overs. And Chris Meloni is sexy as ever! Whether he’s playing a sociopath (in OZ) or a flawed-hero cop, he is a gorgeous human being!

    • Lightpurple says:

      He was brilliant and terrifying in Oz.

      • Paddingtonjr says:

        ITA, that’s what made him fascinating to watch: cruel, charming, powerful and diabolical. I still get chills while watching SVU reruns, thinking about Chris, JK and Dean (Winters) on OZ!

  9. megs283 says:

    I am shocked that he’s 40! Definitely thought he was older. Happy birthday!

  10. TeamAwesome says:

    Looking forward to a Baby Brooksbank post tomorrow! Yay for babies!

  11. smcollins says:

    Mmmmmm Tom. Can’t wait for the Loki series to drop on disney+, I’ve missed him.

  12. Snazzy says:

    I’m glad JT is getting burned now. He deserves it all and more. Stupid stale ramen

  13. TIFFANY says:

    Happy B day Tom.

    Also, you know who I was randomly thinking about today, Miranda Lambert.

    She has been quiet and honestly, Imma little disappointed.

    Her messiness entertained me. Too many restaurants closed I guess.

  14. Jess says:

    I could never put my finger on why I didn’t like JT as a person since he was in *NSYNC. Turns out he’s always been a trash can.

  15. Sarah says:

    Hate JT and his misogynist face with a passion. I can never forget what he did to Britney and Ms. Jackson. Hope he fades into obscurity soon. That’ll be the worst punishment for an attention whore like him.

  16. elle says:

    Seeing his thumbnail side by side with Princess Anne’s, I see… separated at birth? Same eyes, same hairline.

  17. Adr1s says:

    Lovely man. Hope he had a great day!

  18. tsk says:

    I don’t know anything about him personally, so I just wish him the best.

    That said… white guys really do age like milk, don’t they? He was absolutely gorgeous in the first Thor and now he looks like Tommy Wiseau’s long lost blond twin.

    On the positive side, his fandom is still very much alive while other actors with similar berserk fandoms don’t have them anymore, so he must be doing something right.
