Taylor Swift: Introduces Tom Hiddleston to Parents, Thinks He"s "The One," Sources Claim

As you’ve no doubt heard by now, Taylor Swift is dating Tom Hiddleston.



Swift and Hiddleston were caught kissing in public just days after news of the singer’s breakup with Calvin Harris went public.


And by “caught kissing,” we mean her publicists alerted the paparazzi that Taylor and Tom would be enjoying a romantic moment on a beach in Rhode Island, and they wouldn’t mind playing dumb for a few “candid” photos.


It was clearly Swift’s way of taking the relationship public without making a formal announcement, which is fine, but we can’t help but wonder – what’s the rush?


In the past, Taylor has quietly dated dudes for several months and let the press speculate all it wants.


With Hiddleston, it’s like she couldn’t share the news fast enough.



The answer, it seems, is that Taylor is more head-over-heels than she’s ever been before, which is saying something, as this is a girl who’s fallen hard many, many times in the past.


“She felt like she was a little school girl with a huge crush,” one insider tells E! News.


“She loves the fact that Tom acts like such a mature man. She lives that he is older. She feels very safe and protected with him. The attraction is very strong.”


Yes, “the one” talk has already begun.


We’d chalk this up to the fact that this is Taylor Swift, and the media seems to think she’s constantly chomping at the bit to get engaged, but in this case, there’s evidence to support the belief that he whole Swiddleston thing is actually moving very, very fast.


Taylor and Tom recently traveled to Nashville together, and according to Hollywood Life, one of the purposes of the trip was for Hiddleston to meet Mama Swift:


“Taylor would love for her mom to meet Tom,” says one insider.


“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.”


We guess it’s not surprising that Taylor is so eager to make this one work.


Nothing really rhymes with “Hiddleston,” so writing a breakup song would be impossible.


Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx Are Really Dating, I Guess?

I remember reading a blurb in Us Weekly last year about Katie Holmes dropping the L bomb on Jamie Foxx over the phone after landing at LAX.



“She said she loved him,” a source told the magazine.


“She always gushes about how amazing he is and the joy he brings into the world.”


Welp, The Real Housewives of Atlanta‘s Claudia Jordan – who considers herself a good friend of Foxx’s – blabbed about the couple on Theo Von & Matthew Cole Weiss’ Allegedly podcast, confirming that Holmes and Foxx are an item.


Foxx’s “good friend” told the hosts “He is very happy with her. I like that he seems very happy.”


The two have reportedly been dating since October 2013, but have denied their courtship several times.


In 2013, they were spotted dancing at the Apollo Theater’s annual charity bash in the Hamptons, and were seen leaving a recording studio holding hands in 2015.


Lately, they’ve upgraded from “we’re not together” to “it’s not a secret” among their friends, according to E! News.



Foxx and Holmes subscribe to Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin’s old routine, which involves arriving and leaving a venue separately, and never being photographed together.


“Jamie is someone she can trust and have fun with,” a source told Us Weekly back in 2013.


Foxx reportedly refers to Holmes as “my girl.”


For instance, when she called him from LAX, he told friends “my girl is calling.”


Holmes is currently in Toronto shooting The Kennedys: After Camelot.  New York Daily News claims Foxx was spotted in the Canadian city this month, presumably to visit his “girl.”


Holmes and Tom Cruise (parents to Suri, 10) divorced in 2012.


Foxx has two daughters from two previous relationships – Corinne, 22, and Annalise, 6.  Corinne was 2016’s Miss Gold Globe Awards.


Kylie Jenner "Baby" Photo Prompts Pregnancy Chatter

Kylie Jenner apparently wants the world to think she is pregnant.


What other conclusion can we draw from one of Kylie’s latest Instagram photos?



The 18-year old reality star just shared an image on her official social media page of her striking the sort of pose one would strike if pregnant.


She is raising her jean jacket aloft as if she’s showing off a baby bump.


And, lest you think we’re the ones who are starting a KYLIE JENNER PREGNANT rumor out of thin air here, consider the caption Jenner included with the photo:


“Baby.”


Yup, that’s what she wrote.


There actually has been talk for months that Kylie is expecting Tyga’s love child, but that chatter has faded away now that Jenner isn’t dating the rapper any longer.


They split last month after about two years of dating.


So why should Jenner get the pregnancy rumor mill churning once again?


Probably as some sort of PR move.


We say this because other recent Kylie Jenner photos added to this account also depict her in this same outfit, but a couple of their captions are pushing products available from Kylie Cosmetics.


Go to Kylie’s Instagram for the pregnancy rumor… but stay for the makeup line! That’s basically what she’s saying here.


We can’t fault her too much for such a strategy, we suppose.


It’s better than trying to garner publicity for a Kylie Jenner sex tape, right?


Michelle Duggar: Jim Bob is the Best Dad EVER!!!

Between Bill Cosby and Jim Bob Duggar, it hasn’t been a great year for wholesome TV dads.



Maybe JB didn’t do anything as horrendous as Cosby has been accused of, but he allegedly helped cover up Josh Duggar’s sex crimes, which is about 47 million kinds of not okay.


Even so, Michelle Duggar is a firm believer that Jim Bob is a candidate for Dad of the Year.


Actually, make that Dad of the Century.


Come to think of it, is it too late to get his name on the ballot for Best Dad of All Freakin’ Time?!


Like daughter Jessa, Michelle took to the family blog this week to list the reasons that she thinks Jim Bob is the dad to beat all dads.


Her fond memories are warm – if somewhat random:



“I have sweet memories of you helping with our newborn babies, during those late night feedings,” Michelle wrote. “You would get up and change the baby’s diaper and then bring the baby to me to feed.”


Whoa! Jim Bob changed the occasional diaper? What a guy!


“I remember early on when we started our used car business you would let the little ones ‘help’ you wash cars.”


Hey, there’s no point in having 19 kids if you’re not gonna put ’em to work, but it’s still kind of a weird memory to share as a Father’s Day tribute.


“And you are a great cook over the grill! You can make some awesome hamburgers and hot dogs!”


C’mon, Michelle! There is literally not a dad on the planet who doesn’t love to fire up the Weber for some burgers and dogs. Grill skills are only worth mentioning if your man is busting out some blackened ahi tuna, or some sh-t.


And, of course, as she does with every blog entry Michelle takes the time to remind us that she and Jim Bob had, like, a whole ton of kids:


“You took our whole family on fun bike rides. Often, I was pregnant so I would follow along behind driving our 15 passenger van with water and snacks.”


Sigh. Details like “15 passenger van” are clearly intended for the public and not for Jim Bob.


We know you guys had some serious brand rebuilding to do this year, but next year, maybe just a heartfelt card, mmm-kay?
