   When the 2016 Emmy nominations dropped earlier today (July 14), the internet’s boyfriend, Tom Hiddleston, earned his first-ever nomination for Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie. He starred on AM’'s six-part miniseries, The Night Manager, based on John le Carré’s espionage novel of the same name. 
   
   “I could not be more delighted,” Hiddleston told MTV News via phone while taking a break from filming Thor: Ragnarok in Australia. “It was a huge undertaking and an enormous labor of love and one of the proudest achievements of my short life and career.” The actor was excited his costars Hugh Laurie and Olivia Colman were also nominated, as was director Susanne Bier. The series itself received an Outstanding Limited Series nomination, too.

   Notably a film and theater actor, Hiddleston explained how switching over to television never felt like an unusual or out of place career move. In fact, he was totally on board after reading the very first script: “It never felt like a break in continuity. It felt like the most exciting script to come across my desk for some time, and I jumped at the chance after just reading the 60 pages of Episode 1.” 
   
   So how does Tom Hiddleston, a known dancing machine, celebrate an Emmy nomination? With more dancing, of course — or whatever the equivalent of rug-cutting is at 3 a.m. after a long day on a fantasy movie set. “I did a little sort of shake of happiness,” he said. “There were rumblings, there were stirrings, but they didn’t fully express themselves in explicit dance moves, shall we say.” 
   
   This summer has been good to Hiddleston, as he’s also been spotted out with new girlfriend Taylor Swift since mid-June, including on Australia’s Gold Coast. “We are together and we’re very happy,” he confirmed. ||||| Kim Kardashian West Blasts Taylor Swift Over Kanye Feud: 'I've Had It ...

The DJ-producer returned to Twitter on Thursday, July 14, after going off on ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift yesterday. 
   
   In response to ongoing chatter about the feud, the “This Is What You Came For” producer (or should we be calling him a songwriter now too?!) tweeted two different photos of men with spoons covering their eyes. “Really me,” he added alongside one image, which he later deleted. 
   
   The photos seemingly correspond with Vine star Brandon Bowen’s viral “blocking out the haters” video. In Bowen’s July 2014 clip, which has garnered more than 2 million views, the YouTuber places spoons over his eyes and tells the camera: “Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t see you there. I was busy blocking out the haters.” 
   
   In case you missed it, the internet blew up after Harris went HAM on Swift for allegedly trying to make him “look bad” after her rep confirmed that Swift did indeed write his hit track with Rihanna, “This Is What You Came For.” 
   
   “I wrote the music, produced the song, arranged it and cut the vocals though,” Harris tweeted on Wednesday, July 13. “And initially she wanted it kept secret, hence the pseudonym. 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.” 
   
   He continued: “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,” he wrote in a follow-up tweet that was liked almost 3,000 times within half an hour. “I know you’re off tour and you need someone new to try and bury like Katy [Perry] 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.” 
   
   As previously reported by Us, Swift blindsided the DJ by cozying up with new beau Tom Hiddleston just two weeks after ending things with Harris. Swift, who is busy galavanting around the world with Hiddleston, has yet to respond to his tweets and was last seen shopping solo in Gold Coast, Australia.

Flowing in every day, these data are added to the Wayback Machine after an embargo period. ||||| What goes around, comes around. Katy Perry felt liberated when Calvin Harris slammed Taylor Swift in his explosive Twitter rant on July 13. Not only did he back Katy up, but he shined a light on who Taylor really is! 
   
   As you’ll recall, the British DJ said how he didn’t appreciate the way Taylor Swift was trying to make him look bad in the press, even noting that he won’t let her “bury” him “like Katy [Perry].” It was quite shocking, but we discovered Katy is very pleased that her side of the story has now been confirmed. 
   
   “Katy can’t help but feel vindicated by this. She’s glad Calvin [Harris] is finally shining the light on exactly who Taylor is,” a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. “Katy is still bitter about the way Taylor went after her.” The drama started when Calvin took to Twitter and shared a plethora of tweets, defending his reputation against Tay. He confirmed that his ex did indeed write and put vocals on the first version of his hit, “This Is What You Came For,” which now features Rihanna, 28, and praised her for it, but he didn’t appreciate how she seemed to be downplaying his success. 
   
   Calvin brought Katy in the mix by addressing the previous beef between the “Roar” songstress and Taylor: “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.” 
   
   Even though Katy was unwillingly interjected into the controversy — she took it upon herself to share the most epic GIF as a response. Katy used an animation of Hillary Clinton raising her eyebrows and shrugging in a nonchalant manner, while replying to a question at the podium. It definitely has the “I didn’t say it, but it’s not exactly wrong,” type of vibe! LOL! 
   
   The raven-haired songstress later shared a short, but simple message that seemed to get right to the point of the matter: “Time, the only truth teller.” A source also dished to HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY, “Katy definitely had thoughts to squash their beef in light of all the bigger things happening in the world. But as the weeks have gone by and seeing what she is doing in this whole Calvin debacle has really lit the fire again.” 
   
   HollywoodLifers, do you think Katy’s response to Calvin’s Twitter rant about Taylor was priceless?! Let us know! ||||| "The truth is that Taylor Swift and I are together, and we're very happy," says the actor, who was nominated for an Emmy for his role in AMC's 'The Night Manager.'

When asked whether or not it was all a publicity stunt, as several outlets have speculated, the actor responded with an unequivocal no. 
   
   "Well, um. How best to put this?" said Hiddleston, chuckling. "The truth is that Taylor Swift and I are together, and we're very happy. Thanks for asking." 
   
   He even went on to clarify: "That's the truth. It's not a publicity stunt."

target: – Yes, Hiddleswift is legit. Unless, of course, Tom Hiddleston is lying. "We are together and we’re very happy," Hiddleston told MTV, regarding Taylor Swift, on Thursday. He went further when the Hollywood Reporter asked him whether the relationship is for real: "Well, um. How best to put this? 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." More from the land of T-Swift: Her ex, Calvin Harris, appeared to continue his Twitter references to the Swift situation, tweeting a couple references Thursday to him "blocking out the haters," Us reports. He later deleted them. As for Harris' original Twitter rant against Taylor, in which he made a reference to her feud with Katy Perry, Perry appeared to respond by retweeting her own tweet from last year, CBS 8 reports: "Time, the ultimate truth teller." And, a source tells Hollywood Life, "Katy can’t help but feel vindicated by this. She’s glad Calvin is finally shining the light on exactly who Taylor is." Kim Kardashian also recently went after Swift. In a preview for Sunday's Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Kim explains why she trashed Swift in a GQ interview, People reports. "I never talk s--- about anyone publicly, especially in interviews. But I was just like I had so had it. I wanted to defend him in it. She legitimately quote says, 'As soon as I get on that Grammy red carpet I'm gonna tell all the press. Like I was in on it,'" Kim tells Kourtney in the preview, referring to Kanye West's lyric about Taylor in "Famous." But then Swift wasn't happy with the reaction, Kim claims: "You know, just another way to play the victim."
