ANOTHER week another kink in the greatest love story of this summer, that of Forbes richest celebrity Taylor Swift ($170 million in earnings) and Emmy nominated English actor Tom Hiddleston.
Taylor’s ex, Scottish DJ Calvin Harris, has been whining ever since Swift and Hiddleston, aka Tiddles, started an international love affair that in the past month has taken them from the US to England to Italy and now Australia.
Calvin’s latest moan took the form of a series of passive aggressive tweets after it was confirmed that Taylor was the mystery writer of his new single with Rihanna, This Is What You Came For, and holds the publishing rights. High five Taylor Swift.
Taylor wrote the track using the pseudonym Nils Sjoberg and shortly before she and Calvin broke up he was asked in an interview if they’d ever collaborate and replied that they’d never even discussed it. Once that shocking lie was exposed (yes, it’s that serious) he went on a Twitter attack, accusing his ex of trying to make him look bad.
It started out gently with him praising Taylor as an “amazing lyric writer” who “smashed it as usual” before he launched into a foot stamping me-me-me-me-me moment: “I wrote the music, produced the song, arranged it and cut the vocals though. And initially she wanted it kept secret, hence the pseudonym.”
Then he blamed her for leaking the information.
“Hurtful to me at this point that her and her team would go so far out of their way to try and make ME look bad at this stage though.
“I figure if you’re happy in your new relationship you should focus on that instead of trying to tear your ex bf down for something to do.”
And then the knives came out and Katy Perry’s name was taken in vain.
“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.
“Please focus on the positive aspects of YOUR life because you’ve earned a great one.
“God Bless everyone have a beautiful day.”
Wow. It’s like reading a pouty teenager’s text messages to an ex who has a new boyfriend.
Liz Taylor and Richard Burton didn’t have to put up with this nonsense.
High Five Adele
THIS week’s sassy lady award goes to Adele who took issue with a story in The Sun claiming she had sent a member of staff from the hotel she was staying in on a 140-mile round trip to London to pick up her favourite pizza.
To add insult to this extremely authentic insult the ‘source’ at the hotel claimed Adele fell asleep without eating the pizza.
Adele addressed the matter during a concert in Chicago.
“First of all I wouldn’t make anyone do that. That’s ridiculous,” she explained.
“I would never order pizza and then eat it cold. I wouldn’t do that. I might send someone out to get local pizza but if I order pizza I’m going to consume it.”
High five Adele.
The Clooneys and Bill Murray are in residence at Lake Como
NOTHING says summer to Sleb Safari like seeing pictures of the Clooneys at their Lake Como home.
And the cherry on the cake is when Bill Murray turns up for his annual visit.
George Clooney told Esquire magazine in April that he texts Bill to find out when he plans to visit but doesn’t hear back from him.
“Then I’ll be in Italy and he’ll call me and say ‘I’m here’. And I go ‘Where?’ And he foes ‘At the front gate’. And I open it and he comes in”.
Bill is there now and has been papped wandering about with George wearing a grey T-shirt with the words ‘George Clooney is a beautiful man’ written on it. You have to love Bill Murray.
David Hasselhoff, what a guy
DAVID Hasselhoff, singer, actor, lifeguard, is one of Sleb Safari’s heroes.
When David talks, Sleb Safari sits cross legged on the floor and listens. Hard.
Sleb Safari was thrilled when OK! magazine asked him how he “keeps in shape” and prepared itself to get some Baywatch-level tips from Mitch.
Unfortunately the best the Hoff could come up with was “I’m always busy doing things like panto.”
David, you could have scored a fitness DVD deal out of that if you’d thought before answering the question. Sheesh.
