We joke a lot about Taylor Swift around here, and that obviously makes us terribly anti-feminist, anti-woman and anti-kitty. But that’s the problem, isn’t it? If we let Taylor Swift run the conversation, then she will never develop a key sense of self-awareness, and she will never understand that she makes bad decisions for herself with her love life. Granted, those “bad decisions” have her laughing all the way to the bank. But let’s make the argument that she is genuinely looking for love, looking for a partner, looking for a real relationship. Is Calvin Harris that guy? Well, look at his own romantic history, which is just as drama-filled as Swifty’s. Whatever is happening between them, it probably won’t last. But they are in the full throttle of love, and that might include writing songs about their love together. Because they are each other’s muse.

They made their first public appearance together at the Billboard Awards over the weekend. But its seems Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris have been loved up for a lot longer than that. The couple, who started dating in March, are apparently writing songs together, as they are “slowly becoming each other’s muses”.

You may remember Calvin wrote a song with his ex girlfriend Rita Ora which did not end well when they publically rowed about it after their split. Anyway a source said of Taylor and Calvin: “They’re crazy about each other, but are really stimulated by their unique approaches to songwriting. They’re slowly becoming each other’s muses.”

The duo started playing music together during a low-key date night at Taylor’s mansion in Beverly Hills, California. The insider said: “They often end up in fits of laughter, but they’ve come up with some very interesting melodies and lyrics and she wants to record some of them.”

I have no doubt that Taylor Swift is already writing songs about Calvin Harris and she’s probably even got some lyrics hidden away for when they do break up. But Calvin? Using Tay-Tay as a muse? The very thought of it made me a little bit sick to my stomach. It’s not that I think so highly of Calvin Harris as a songwriter/producer (although “Sweet Nothing” is everything), but… I mean, Calvin and Taylor are just apples and oranges when it comes to music. Maybe that’s the name of Taylor’s song. “Apples & Oranges.” He said I was his apple/Baby meet me at the chapel/He’s my orange in every way/all he needs to do is stay. I think I just wrote Swifty’s new #1 hit.

Dear Gossips,

Buzzfeed posted a photo on Twitter yesterday that made me hug myself. The Khaleesi and Neville Longbottom!

It came from Matthew Lewis’s Instagram. T…      

“From Hogwarts to Hottie” indeed. Matthew Lewis played Neville Longbottom in the Harry Potter films, and he turned into a beautiful butterfly, didn’t he? Damn bro. Lewis covers the new issue of Attitude magazine and now everyone is hot and bothered. You can see Attitude’s feature here. There’s a lot of hot, furry man. And it’s glorious. I love it when a dude is naturally hairy and they don’t feel the need to shave or wax their bodies. It’s hot.

Lewis is especially fit these days because he’s about to play a personal trainer in a romantic comedy. He tells the magazine that he’s shunned sugar, carbs and alcohol:

“I spoke to the director and I said it’d be nice to get into the mindset of someone like Patrick, because he’s not drinking alcohol, he’s just eating salads all the time. I was very interested to know where you go to in your mind to have that level of commitment. So I sort of gave up alcohol – I say sort of, I have given up alcohol. It’s tough. I do the pub quiz every week, and I’m sitting there every Wednesday with a Diet Coke… I’m off sugar and I can’t really eat carbs. I really wanted to see if I could stick to such a strict regime, and to really understand what it’s like to have a goal like that and really 110% go for it. I mean I’ve always been a bit of a sports enthusiast anyway, I love the gym and all that stuff, but I can’t wait for a pint of lager, I tell you that! The pizza and beer will definitely be making a comeback over the summer.”

[From The Daily Mail]

If this is what it takes to get that body… no, it’s still not worth it if you have to give up carbs. But I appreciate the effort and seriously, damn bro. He’s so hot. Even JK Rowling thinks so! She tweeted Lewis this morning:

.@Mattdavelewis Not as bad as watching Dan in Equus, but close. Warn me next time, for God’s sake. https://t.co/r8EUd1GKqT

Singer Bobby Brown celebrated his wife’s Alicia Etheredge-Brown pregnancy at her baby shower.

“Love…….” Brown posted a photo of the family via Instagram.

The expectant mom was all smiles at the afternoon soirée, showing off her bare baby bump, on which she got a large henna tattoo of a tree and the sun.

Brown, 46, posted a second photo of his wife’s growing belly, with the caption, “My Lady and Baby.”

The couple – who are also parents to nearly 6-year-old son Cassius – are due to welcome their second child in July.

It’s been a very difficult year for the singer. Bobbi Kristina – Brown’s 22-year-old daughter with the late Whitney Houston – has remained unresponsive since she was found unconscious in a bathtub on Jan. 31.

Love…….

I feel like George Clooney is just one week away from referring to Amal as “the old ball & chain” and doing an old Don Rickles routine. That’s what it feels like, right? A shtick. Oh, haha, George Clooney is an old married man now, that’s so charming. Isn’t it nice that George is so happily married and he keeps talking about his lovely bride? Chuckle, elbow, etc. When in all honesty, I’ve never been more convinced that George went through all of this as an effort to rebrand his image. He had gotten to the point where his bachelor lifestyle was a punchline rather than an aspiration. So he changed the subject in a big way. In any case, George is still talking about Amal, obviously.

He was on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Tuesday night. It may seem like we’ve already covered this stuff, but we haven’t. George is the one recycling his own quotes. It’s almost like his publicist handed him a sheet of cutesy quotes and easy stories to tell about married life. George told Kimmel that Amal hates that George wears the same t-shirt all the time: “There is that moment when I’ve worn the same T-shirt like for a week that she says, ‘Really?’” He also says Amal “hasn’t taken away” his motorcycle. Yet.

That interview is pretty meh. Not so meh? Clooney’s interview with Charlie Rose. I talked about the first clip yesterday (go here to read), which was Clooney talking about his proposal, of course. And since Charlie Rose is a real journalist (seriously), he totally asked Clooney about babies. When asked flat-out if he thinks about becoming a father, George said: “I haven’t really. I’ve thought about it I suppose, but I haven’t really – it hasn’t been high on my list, uh, I’ve been asked a lot lately because I’ve gotten married and I’m doing a movie with kids in it. You should see how creative the way they ask me.”

George also appears on a pre-taped episode of The Graham Norton Show, airing on Friday. He chatted about the country mansion he bought for Amal in England, saying: “We’ve bought a place in a wonderful little town called Sonning and we are re-doing the house so that we can live in it, which would be nice. We will move in in a couple of months.” George also said they “do normal things” at home, and they go out to the local pub, etc. George also explained how he ended up at the New York Comic-Con when he was supposed to be on his honeymoon:

“I got the call while on my honeymoon and was told it was really important that I fly in. First I had to explain that to my wife which didn’t play well. And then, the whole idea of spending part of your honeymoon with people dressed up like Captain Kirk and Star Wars’ characters somehow wasn’t easy to explain to my new bride. But, I showed up and it was actually fun.”

[From The Daily Mail]

He also described a long-standing prank he’s done on Brad Pitt. Apparently, Clooney had some stationary made with Brad’s name and everything, and George has been sending out letters to famous people AS Brad.

Life & Style says Jennifer Aniston has been DUMPED after 990 days. That will be the name of Jennifer’s memoir, you know. It will either be DUMPED: The Jennifer Aniston Story or 990 Days: A Story of the Forever Engagement. I actually looked it up and 990 days ago (May 21, 2015) was September 3, 2012. Which… is not correct. The 2012 date is reflective of their engagement, not how long they’ve really been together overall. Jennifer and Justin worked together in 2010, and it’s widely believed that Justin cheated on Heidi Bivens with Aniston while they worked together, then there was some relationship overlap in the spring of 2011 when Jennifer kept popping up with Justin all over LA and then suddenly Heidi moved out of the New York apartment she shared with Justin for more than a decade. I’m just sayin’.

As for the story… there’s not a lot there. L&S claims that Justin and Jennifer have been spending a lot of time apart, which is no surprise to any of us paying attention to JustJen. For the past three months, he’s been in Rome, New York and Texas. She’s been mostly in LA, although she was flying solo in NYC a few weeks ago for no reason. The idea behind this latest “Jen got dumped” rumor is that they’re still struggling to schedule an actual wedding date. Because even though Justin bought Jennifer a huge, cloudy quartz-looking diamond ring and proposed to her on HIS birthday (??), he doesn’t actually want to marry her.

According to Life & Style, Theroux “pulled the plug on their wedding just days before it was to go down.” A source says: “Justin was on the phone with Jen when she brought up an issue with the wedding menu…She asked him if he thought they should have salmon or shellfish — and he replied, ‘I’m not ready.’”

[From Life & Style, Jezebel]

Gossip Cop says it’s crap but…? I don’t know. I’ve been on JustJen high alert for a while. I think it’s weird that their schedules are so all-over-the-place, and I think it’s weird that they barely see each other except when he flies to her for the big appearances (Oscars, birthday parties). Then again, I’ve been saying that JustJen would not survive for a while and they actually have survived. Maybe they’re fine with being that permanently engaged couple that works thousands of miles away from each other for months at a time.

A lot of people believe that Prince William and maybe even Prince Charles are behind the sudden rash of negative press stories about Princess Beatrice of York. While I could see how that conspiracy theory could play out – and it might even be true – the fact of the matter is that Beatrice is not helping herself in the least. It is my strong belief that Beatrice outright lied to the press about her “financial course” in America last month (unless she just took a Suze Orman day-course), and it is my strong belief that Beatrice really needs to find something other than “vacationing” to occupy her time.

The Daily Mail has new photos of Beatrice and her boyfriend Dave Clark on vacation yet again – go here to see. They were in Bahamas this time, staying at the Great Guana Cay in what is being called her FIFTEENTH vacation in seven months. It wouldn’t be so bad except her father’s royal website says that Beatrice has a “full time role in business.” It wouldn’t be so bad except Andrew keeps trying to convince people that his daughters should be full-time working royals, all evidence to the contrary. It wouldn’t be so bad except that Beatrice’s people keep insisting that she IS working and looking for a job in New York, possibly. I don’t know… does it look like she’s interviewing for new jobs?

When Duchess Kate gave birth to Princess Charlotte, that meant that Beatrice was pushed down further in the line of succession. Beatrice is no longer sixth in line, which means magical things for her. It means less attention, of course, and it means that she no longer needs the Queen’s permission to do certain things, like get married. If Beatrice and Dave did get married, a wedding would certainly liven things up and change the subject away from her constant vacations.

Well… this is a turn of events. Star Magazine claims in their cover story this week that Brad has been bisexual this whole time. And that Angelina knows and she’s fine with him sleeping with men sometimes. I mean… Angelina is bisexual. At least that’s how she identified when she was younger. And she’s had relationships with women. Is it so shocking to think that Brad might be bisexual too?

Their lasting Hollywood romance may be a surprise, but there’s a reason for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie‘s relationship has worked so well over that the world doesn’t know about. Hollywood insider Hesham “Sham” Ibrahim, who has been a long-time traveler with the same social circles as Brad and Angelina, exclusively told Star, “I don’t want to define Brad Pitt’s sexuality, but whatever it is, he’s into guys.”

And his sexuality with men isn’t a new thing. Sham told Star that Brad’s bisexuality has been going on for close to 10 years and even spoke about two of his male hookups. Cameron Fox, who did adult films and was an all-American looking adult-film actor, was contacted by Brad on a website called RentBoy.com nearly a decade ago. The two were supposed to meet at a hotel in Monterey, California. “When [Cameron] got there, an assistant met him in the lobby and took him to a room. Sure enough, there was Brad Pitt,” Sham tells Star. “Brad took one look at him, gave him a thousand dollars and asked him to leave. Cameron wasn’t as attractive as he appeared to be in his pictures. I guess Brad has picky taste.”

Sham also heard reports that this was a common case if his men weren’t up to his expectation. But when he did find one he liked, Brad seemed to have a routine down to the last detail. “They said he seemed to have the whole scenario pretty much worked out,” Sham says.

And how does Angelina feel about her dreamboat husband straying away for other men? Fine! She too is bisexual and openly admitted her romance with Oscar-winning onetime girlfriend Jenny Shimizu. “It was a wild experience,” Angelina said in response to her dating Jenny for years.

“As someone who has dated bisexual men, I have to say that having an understanding really is the only way their relationship can last,” emphasizes Sham. “They need to accept each other, and, since Angelina is into girls, they do.”

[From Star Magazine]

He’s hooking up with guys he meets on RentBoy.com? He’s BRAD PITT! Surely he can meet nice-looking dudes the old-fashioned way. Or maybe it’s like Charlie Sheen says – Brad’s not paying for the sex, he’s paying them to leave when it’s over. As for this particular story… no, I don’t really believe it about Brad. I would totally believe it about Tom Cruise, Bradley Cooper, hell, even Leonardo DiCaprio. But Brad…didn’t he even say in an interview a few years ago that he had never experimented with men? Of course, he could have been lying. Or Star Magazine and Sham Ibrahim are made of lies. You choose.

Here’s a first look at Tom Cruise on the set of Mena, which is filming in Atlanta. Tom is in the same city as the Captain America: Civil War production. Mena is the awards-baiting vehicle where Tom plays Barry Seal, the drug- and gun-trafficking pilot who worked for both 1980s cartels and the CIA. Seal tipped the scales at 300 pounds. No one thought Tom would gain all of the weight, but industry insiders expected him to gain “a significant amount.”

These photos do not reflect such a weight gain, which is puzzling. Tom never does anything halfway, so the decision to not alter his public appearance feels out of character. His version of “fat” is wearing a loose, rumpled shirt. Dude finally moved out of the action-movie comfort zone he’s inhabited for the past decade. Yet he’s not going to properly stuntqueen an Oscar bid. I can’t knock him for not wanting to screw up his metabolism with a quick weight gain scheme. But Tom’s not even wearing a fat suit!

Lainey has some other photos where Tom has a gap in his teeth after his character gets punched. (That’s what happens when you mess with drug cartels.) In these pictures, Tom’s shown alongside Sarah Wright, who plays pregnant Lucy Seal. The press always sets Tom up with co-stars. Fortunately for Sarah, she’s married (to Eric Christian Olsen of NCIS: LA). These photos of Tom with his movie family make me a little sad. He has plenty of time to star in all of these films, but we won’t see him carrying Suri around anytime soon. He can only pretend to be a present father. Reality is too much.
