Tom Hiddleston has to prepare for the Emmys later this month, but instead he has to deal with his seemingly high-maintenance girlfriend, Taylor Swift. The Night Manager star is an A-Lister in his own right, but his romance with Swift has put him into a different category of fame, and one he’s not exactly pleased with. “Tom can’t deal with being a laughing stock and has told Taylor he’s done unless there’s a 360-degree change on her part,” a source told Radar Online. “It’s become a total charade and Tom is sick of being treated like a glorified escort.” To be fair, Hiddleston looked to be enjoying himself over Fourth of July weekend, splashing around in the surf wearing an “I Heart T.S.” tank top. So, Swift could be forgiven for thinking she’s got the upper hand in this relationship. Hiddleston is filming Thor: Ragnarok in Australia, but he’s reportedly been flying all over the world at the 26-year-old’s request. “Tom is just done with it,” the source added. “It bothers him so much that they’ve become known as this fauxmance laughing stock.” Hiddleston attempted to the do the grown-up thing and confirm his relationship with Swift back in July. After learning he was nominated for Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie, the British actor agreed to do press. View Slideshow: Tom Hiddleston: 8 Things to Know About Taylor Swift’s New Bae The Hollywood Reporter skirted around the question until finally asking if he and Swift were the real deal, and what he had to say to those who though their romance was just for show. “Well, um. How best to put this?” Hiddleston started politely, as most Brits do. “That notion is — look, the truth is that Taylor Swift and I are together, and we’re very happy. Thanks for asking. That’s the truth. It’s not a publicity stunt.” Hiddleston had to expect this kind of attention when he and Swift started dating after the MET Ball back in May. Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston: Dance Off! Swift did not attend the MTV Video Music Awards on August 28th, but it’s believed that she will accompany to the Emmys on September 18th. A source told THG recently that the reason Hiddleston and Swift got together was because the Brit “needed to improve his pulling power , and [her] PR team decided to take advantage of that in a way that would also benefit Taylor. “Tom is the ‘it’ man right now, so they thought that it would work,” the source added. “Taylor is an attractive girl with a big bank account and a lot of fame.” How did Hiddleston see dating Swift as a great image boost, while the rest of of us saw it as career suicide?

Either Miley Cyrus is trying to throw the press off her scent, or she has a problem with gorgeous island getaways. Us Weekly reports that Cyrus has canceled flights and accommodations for her Bora Bora honeymoon with fiance Liam Hemsworth. “They had the entire trip planned, but Miley just decided she didn’t want to go there anymore,” a source who claims to be close to the singer said. “They have yet to pick a new locale.” It’s believed that Cyrus and Hemsworth have decided not to wed this month in Australia, and instead are looking to push it back a few months. The 23-year-old “is still very erratic with her decision-making,” another source told Us. “Miley is pretty adamant about having a small, private ceremony.” Hemsworth, on the other hand, “wants a really big wedding, so I’m sure they’ll come to a compromise.” View Slideshow: Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth: Relive the Romance! The pair were previously engaged before breaking it off in September 2013. Last Christmas, they got back together, and Cyrus started to wear her engagement ring again in public. Hemsworth more or less confirmed he and Cyrus were back together in the June/July issue of GQ Australia. “I guess when I feel something, then I just feel it and I go for it,” he said. “I make my decisions about what’s going to make me happy, what I think is right and what I want to do — and I don’t worry too much outside of that.” When asked if that meant he and his lady had reunited, Hemsworth beat around the bush. “People will figure it out, they already have,” he said. “They’re not dumb.” Cyrus joins the new season of The Voice , which premieres on September 19th. The gig will take her to Los Angeles, where she’ll be based for the remainder of taping. This could very well push the wedding into 2017. View Slideshow: Miley Cyrus’ Weirdest Instagram Photos

Kristen Stewart is only just recovering from her wildly famous relationship with Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson. Not because she still pines for him, but because of the phenomenon it had snowballed into. Stewart and Pattinson hit it off while filming the first installment of the Twilight saga. When fans found out that Bella and Edward were dating IRL, a sort of fantasy was created that Stewart found impossible to live up to. “People wanted me and Rob to be together so badly that our relationship was made into a product,” Stewart told T magazine. “It wasn’t real life anymore. And that was gross to me,” she continued. “It’s not that I want to hide who I am or hide anything I’m doing in my life. It’s that I don’t want to become a part of a story for entertainment value.” It got to the point where Stewart suffered anxiety on the regular, so much so that she told Elle Magazine recently that she got sick every morning . That might have been why she ended up having an affair with her Snow White and the Huntsman director, Rupert Sanders in the summer of 2012. He was married at the time to British model Liberty Ross, and Stewart was still very much with Pattinson. Stewart, perhaps more famous for her reticent nature off-camera, wanted nothing to do with the level of fame she experienced. “I’m not the typical showman. But at the same time, I want so badly to expose myself,” she said. “I want to be understood and I want to be seen, and I want to do that in the rawest, purest, most naked way I can.” These days, Stewart has managed to survive the public backlash from that summer, though it did take a while for her to weather the storm. Stewart is now in a relationship with producer Alicia Cargile , and she couldn’t be more proud to show off a relationship where she finally feels like herself. View Slideshow: 32 Bisexual Celebrities “I would never talk about any of my relationships before, but once I started dating girls it seemed like there was an opportunity to represent something really positive,” Stewart said. “I still want to protect my personal life, but I don’t want to seem like I’m protecting the idea, so that does sort of feel like I owe something to people.”
It’s been a bizarre couple of years for the reality star once known as “Mama June” Shannon. These days, June seems to have dropped the “Mama” from name, and we can’t say we blame her. After all, based on some shocking recent reports, parenting is not her strong suit. First, the world learned that June was dating Mark McDaniel – a man who previously spent ten years in prison for molesting Shannon’s eldest daughter, Anna. (Just let that sink in, even if you’re already aware of it.) Shortly thereafter, June was accused of stealing from Anna . After several weeks of public denials, she confessed and returned the money. Maybe June had to hit rock bottom in order to turn things around. Or maybe in the absence of a camera crew, she realized there’s nothing all that funny about her family’s eating habits. Whatever the case, Mama June has has re-focused on her health and lost a bit of weight. Make that a lot of weight: Yes, it’s hard to believe, but that’s the same Mama June you used to know and somewhat tolerate. It’s surprising that the reality star found time to diet and exercise, what with her busy schedule and all. You know, promoting her upcoming appearance at Larry Flynt’s annual WTF?! Weekend alongside Bubba Sparxxx and porn star Jesse Jane. (Sadly, we’re not joking.) June hasn’t revealed any of her weight loss secrets, but they may be forthcoming. Several outlets have reported that the 36-year-old (yes, she’s only 36) filmed much of her weight loss journey in hopes of landing a reality show. To that, we roll our eyes, but have to say: Would you really expect otherwise? So, the good news is that she lost a lot of weight, which has to be good for her chances of living beyond her 40th birthday. Seriously, she looks great and we’re happy for her, both for the improvement in self-confidence as well as overall cardiac health. The bad news is that she may be back on TV. Call it a slight net positive … or a wash. However you want to score it, you just have to take the good with the horrendously awful when it comes to Mama June. That much we can tell you for sure.

Things are going from very, very bad to even worse for Taylor Swift. At this point, we all know about the personal drama between Swift and Kim Kardashian . The latter has been taking shot after shot at the singer, painting her as a manipulative liar and trying to ruin Swift’s reputation. There was the videotaped phone call between Kanye West and Swift that Kim released , proving that Taylor gave the rapper permission to diss her in the song “Famous.” And then there was Kim releasing footage of herself slamming Swift via that same track just a few days ago. Take a look below to see what we mean: A video posted by Kim Kardashian Snapchats (@kimksnapchats) on Jul 23, 2016 at 3:41am PDT So that’s been Swift’s personal life over the past several days. And we haven’t even yet mentioned the fact that so many critics think Swift is faking her romance with Tom Hiddleston for public relations purposes. In other words: Taylor really could use a professional win these days. But she just suffered another loss. MTV came out with its nominations for the 2016 Video Music Awards this year and we can already announce that Swift will not take home a single trophy. How can we be so certain? BECAUSE SHE DIDN’T RECEIVE A SINGLE NOMINATION! No big deal, you might say? No conspiracy at work here, you may argue? That could be correct, but consider the following: Swift led all artists with 10 nominations in 2015. She took home the trophy for Best Video. She has debuted three videos off the album “1989” over the past year. The first, for “Wildest Dreams,” actually premiered during the pre-show of the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards. Has it been the most prolific 12 months of Swift’s career? No. But to go from her 2015 haul to zero nominations in 2016? It makes one wonder whether Kanye has somehow influenced MTV producers. Remember, of course, that Kanye interrupted Swift way back in 2009 when she defeated Beyonce that year for the Best Video crown. Might he still hold a grudge against her? View Slideshow: MTV Video Music Awards: Best/Craziest/Most Memorable Moments It seems that way. Beyoncé earned a career-best 11 nominations for her Lemonade visuals this yea, while Adele landed seven nods for her 2015 hit “Hello.” The 2016 MTV Video Music Awards air live from NYC’s Madison Square Garden Sunday, August 28 at 9/8c.
July 2016 is not a month Taylor Swift will look back on fondly. Yes, she’s getting her romance on with The Night Manager ‘s Tom Hiddleston, but she was also hung out to dry by both Kim Kardashian and her ex-boyfriend, Calvin Harris . Harris was angry that Swift took credit for his song, “This is What You Came For,” with Rihanna. That led to a series of tweets from the usually quiet DJ. “I know you’re off tour and you need someone new to try and bury like Katy ETC but I’m not that guy, sorry. I won’t allow it,” Harris tweeted on July 13th. According to In Touch Weekly , Harris is prepared for whatever backlash is coming his way next. “if Taylor pushes him again, he’s going to expose and destroy her,” a source told the tabloid. View Slideshow: Taylor Swift Is Over Party: Twitter Users Celebrate Singer’s Downfall “That line — especially the ETC — should serve as a big warning.” Harris, for his part, has warned Swift to back off and stop stirring up trouble. “Please focus on the positive aspects of YOUR life because you’ve earned a great one,” he wrote. Meanwhile, someone hacked into Swift’s Wikipedia page recently and updated her biography. The 26-Year-Old’s birth name was changed to Taylor “Slithering Snake Becky With The Good Lies” Allison Swift, and some of her nicknames included “Regina George” and “victim.” The page has since been restored, but not before In Touch grabbed a screen shot. One person thoroughly enjoying the takedown of Swift is her nemesis, Katy Perry. ” Katy is so happy that someone finally put Taylor in her place,” a source told Radar Online . “Katy called Kim personally to thank her after she saw the video exposing Taylor,” the source added, referring to the leaked audio that revealed Swift’s conversation with Kanye West over lyrics from his single, “Famous.” “She has dealt with Taylor’s high school mind games and lies for so long and she is so glad that Kim showed the world.” View Slideshow: Kanye West Rants on Twitter, Defends Taylor Swift Lyric
On The Bachelorette Season 12 Episode 8, JoJo Fletcher went on hometown dates across the nation with her four remaining bachelors. Who survived this week? Were The Bachelorette spoilers accurate? Watch The Bachelorette Season 12 Episode 8 Online We’ll get to the elimination shortly, but let’s start from the top: Kicking off The Bachelorette Season 12 Episode 8 , JoJo’s first of four hometown dates was with Chase McNary in beautiful Colorado. That went well, although all eyes were on the next date. In Chico, California, she met Jordan Rodgers’ family … after swooning over the controversial frontrunner all season long, of course. As for the topic we’ve all been talking about – Jordan’s estranged relationship with Aaron Rodgers – JoJo carefully broached the subject. And he carefully tried to shut it down. “It won’t come up. It doesn’t need to be a topic,” he said, although the hilarious shot of two empty chairs at the dinner table said otherwise. Jordan and Aaron Rodgers’ brother Luke didn’t say much, but did divulge, “It’s something we don’t really like to talk about a whole lot.” “It pains both of us like, not to have that relationship [with Aaron] – we miss our brother. I trust that God brings things full circle,” he added. Again, we have zero idea what’s going on. One thing that is clear is that JoJo was still smitten. “[Jordan] is nobody’s brother,” she said. “He is a man that I am falling in love with.” Goodness, this is going to end so badly. Next up for JoJo was St. Augustine, Florida, for her hometown date with Robby Hayes and his never-ending supply of pink clothing. We’re just saying, it’s a little bit unusual. JoJo loves that Robby is in touch with his emotions, but when you awkwardly tell someone you love her 27 times, is that being emotional? Or unstable and desperate? Just asking. Anyway, things got weird, and dramatic, when she brought up her hesitations regarding Hayes’ infamous ex-girlfriend, Hope Higginbotham. Yes, the one now dating Chad Johnson . Robby and Hope dated for four years, we’re told, and he broke up with her just before going on the show; JoJo was rightfully concerned. Strangely, we then saw this scene featuring Robby’s mom, who took him aside to inform him that his ex’s roommate was stirring up s–t: The Bachelorette Clip: Robby Hayes’ Ex Speaks Out! Naturally, Robby freaked that Hope’s roommate was planting such stories in the press, so he needed to talk to JoJo about this immediately. Pressed about the timeline regarding his appearance on the show, and the end of his romance with Hope Higginbotham , he actually said: “I will tell you right now that’s not true by any means. My relationship with Hope, who is my ex, was over nine months before it actually ended.” Guy should go into politics with an answer like that. He explained: “It’s something that I didn’t have the capacity to end it when it should have because I thought changes were going to be made.” “And I tried to give her benefit of the doubt,” he added, but “I ended it at the end of December, we had a blowup fight and she slapped me.” Hoooookay then . This sounds 100 percent normal. Ultimately, despite the inordinate amount of time spent on Robby’s ex, and apparent emotional instability, this all ended rather smoothly. JoJo’s falling in love with him, she says. Sigh . Finally, JoJo traveled to Texas for her hometown date with Luke Pell, who seemed like the odd man out heading into the rose ceremony. Was he, though? Or was a big twist yet to come? The big elimination was set to go down in airport hangar, with a jet ready to whisk JoJo and the remaining guys on to the next date. The stakes were high, but Fletcher was resolute. “I think I need to say goodbye to Luke,” she revealed … until Luke interrupted the start of the ceremony and asked if they could step outside! What a truly unprecedented, dramatic interlude. That’s when he finally revealed that he’s in love with her! OMG! No doubt “this changes things,” said Fletcher to the camera, in tears. TO BE CONTINUED … likely with Luke’s inevitable elimination anyway, within the opening minutes of next week’s episode, but hey. The contrived Bachelorette cliffhangers are epic. Without them, would we be coming back year after year? Or still talking about these exits? Exactly. View Slideshow: The Bachelor & Bachelorette: 27 Most Stunning Exits
It’s been a tough stretch for Lamar Odom, but might the beleaguered former athlete find solace and comfort with some familiar faces? According to insiders, Khloe is filing for divorce from the former NBA star, but he may still be welcomed back into the Kardashian fold: In Rob and Blac Chyna’s guest bedroom! Odom is reportedly beyond “furious” with his estranged wife Khloe, for what he’s describing as a string of broken promises about reconciliation. He’s always been tight with Rob, though. One can understand why recurring reports that Lamar Odom is back on crack (among other things) permanently shook Khloe’s trust. Khloe and Rob have been estranged themselves, of course, for a number of reasons – not the least of which is his romance with Blac. So perhaps it’s not surprising that he would swoop in to save Lamar. Rob, after all, “knows what it’s like” to be at “rock bottom,” a source says. “[He] doesn’t want Lamar to get there. Rob has secretly seen [Lamar] several times [and] has begged Lamar to come and live with him.” Will the NBA champ accept that offer? According to their insider, “Lamar refused, saying he doesn’t want to burden Rob and Chyna,” given that the engaged couple is expecting. Rob thinks that’s just a lame excuse. View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian & Lamar Odom: Romance Rewind … Then Unwind “Rob told Lamar he isn’t a burden and insisted [he] stay with them so that he can have a family support system,” the source continued. As for how Chyna feels about this? Let’s just say she has mixed feelings: “It’s unclear how the bride-to-be feels about Lamar Odom moving into the home they just purchased.” “With the pregnancy and [Blac and Rob’s] upcoming wedding, it seems the busy reality star would be facing a tremendous responsibility.” Not because she doesn’t want to help Odom, but by taking him in, Rob would be “obligating himself to helping Lamar get on the right track.” Regardless of how bogus this story is, that’s a great point; Rob’s had a hard enough time working on himself, let alone a mess like Lamar. Of course, it would make for a great Rob and Chyna reality show storyline to have Odom crashing on the couch like Rob did in the old daze.
