Trouble in paradise for Tom Hiddleston and Taylor Swift?

The pair reportedly had a nasty bust up over their clashing schedules.
Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston

Looks like Tom Hiddleston and Taylor Swift’s relationship could have reached its first big hurdle.

According to a new report from Us Weekly, the couple had an explosive argument recently which spiraled out of control.

A source close to the pair revealed that both Tom and Taylor are fed up with being apart so much of the time.

“They weren’t spending as much time together,” an insider told the publication.

Taylor spends a lot of time alone while Tom is filming, according to reports.

It was a rude shock to Taylor – who had been inseparable from her new man in the first heady weeks of their new union – when Tom had to go back to work.

The Love Story singer reportedly couldn’t reconcile the man who spent weeks with her kissing in Rhode Island, introducing her to his parents in England, touring Rome and escorting her to Australia, with the man who suddenly had no time to pencil her in once filming started.

Meanwhile, Tom is running ragged between seeing Taylor and travelling back to Australia for filming.

The 35-year-old actor is currently in Brisbane, Australia, filming Thor: Ragnarok.

“There was so much going on so it was hard making their schedules work,” says the insider, “and they were upset they couldn’t see each other.”

Watch how inseparable the pair where when they touched down in Australia in the clip below. Post continues.

It’s a far cry from them being attached at the hip during the first few weeks of their courtship.

But while Tay-Tay is apparently still stewing over their tiff, Tom seems to have shaken it off.

He made time to visit his 26-year-old love in Rhode Island while on a filming break.

“Tom is busier than her right now, but they are making it work,” the source tells US Weekly.

Watch Tom get adorably flustered when he talks about the moment he met Taylor in the clip below.

Noni and Khalia leave The Bachelor Australia

Richie Strahan went bacon more than one heart on Wednesday night's episode of The Bachelor Australia.
Noni Jajur and Khalia The Bachelor Australia

He’s getting closer to finding his leading lady, and on Wednesday night’s episode of The Bachelor Australia, Richie Strahan left two contestants roseless on his quest for eternal love.

The remaining ten beauties were well and truly put through their paces with a compatibility test, which saw Faith come out in the top spot. Intruder Steph laded an adventurous single date with the pair enjoying a jetski ride.

Steph and Faith were both given roses. Unfortunately bacon lover Noni and horse enthusiast Khalia were left without a flower to nibble on, and asked to say their goodbyes.

We caught up with the lovely ladies to debrief on their time in the house.

NONI, 25, SWIMWEAR DESIGNER

How was the overall experience?

It was crazy! It was probably one of the greatest experiences of my life. Obviously it’s not normal to be chucked in with so many girls. We had our ups and downs – kinda like a sorority house. You can’t really explain it unless you’ve been in there!

What was the toughest thing?

You’re taking away everything that is normal for you – We didn’t have our phones or contact with loved ones. That was really hard, especially when you were upset.

How did you feel when Richie sent you home?

At the time, I was expecting it. I’d seen so many connections formed. When I was sent home, I was OK with it. It was my time – we both mutually agreed with it. We both seem to have more of a friendship than a relationship. I think we friend-zoned each other but it was all good fun! Lots of girls had strong feelings for him and I didn’t have them.

We will certainly miss Noni in the Bach Pad!

The bubbly bacon enthusiast was a girl after our own heart, but it simply wasn’t meant to be for her and the rope technician.

Who do you think will win?

I think Nikki will win. She’s a WA girl and she’s very easy, breezy and beautiful!

Have you found love since leaving the show?

No, still single! Finding life a bit hectic right now. I went over to Bali straight after the show. So I haven’t found anyone yet, but who knows!

Watch the moment bachelor babe Noni revealed her love of bacon! Post continues after video…

KHALIA, 29, LAW STUDENT

What did you think of Richie when you first met him?

I thought he seemed like a good guy and probably a bit nervous.

Did he give you any indication of what kind of girls he likes? Did he give you any particular compliments?

He mentioned something about my smile. I didn’t get any impression from him on what he likes. I think he likes down-to-earth kind of girls.

Is there anything about you that you wished Richie had got to know or got to know differently?

If I was in a different environment then he would have seen more of my witty or humorous side which wasn’t expressed in that environment.

What was your favourite moment in the Bachelor experience?

Probably watching him do the compatibility test. He had to navigate an obstacle course – that was quite entertaining.

Khalia’s time in the Bachelor mansion was short and sweet.

The student was the first to leave from the three intruders.

Who was your best friend in the house and why?

I would probably say Nikki, we were quite similar in a lot of ways. She was a lovely girl, down to earth and easy going – all those kind of qualities I admire.

Do you still believe in love?

Yes definitely! I think there is someone out there for everyone it is just a matter of crossing paths with them.

Who do you think is going to win?

I’ll have to go with my bestie Nikki.

Get to know Khalia in the video player below!

Beyonce and Jay-Z hit the town in matching power suits

The power couple suited up in style for their latest romantic date night.
Beyonce Jay Z

The couple that dresses together stays together!

Beyonce and Jay-Z have proven once and for all they are the world’s biggest power couple by wearing matching power suits on their latest romantic date night.

The Single Ladies hitmaker and her doting hubby sent the crowds wild when they stepped out for a joint appearance at the New York City film premiere of Hands of Stone on Monday, August 22.

In a pic posted to Usher’s Snapchat account, the duo stand together, rocking their matching get-up while Jay drapes his arm around his wife of eight-years.

“Familia,” the Confessions singer captioned the snap.

It’s little wonder Bey and Jay looked so good! The parents of Blue Ivy recently returned from a picturesque summer holiday in Hawaii.

While their suits are, of course, a little different – Jay opted for trousers and white kicks while his wife donned a pinstriped mini skirt with baby blue heels, their matching sentiment still stands strong.

The pair, while perhaps the greatest we’ve seen so far, certainly aren’t the first to give twin styling a crack.

Kimye are no stranger to sharing a wardrobe.

Earlier this year, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West walked their matching silver embellishments down the red carpet of the Met Gala.

Shortly after, their arch nemesis Taylor Swift took on the twinning trend with her Hollywood beau Tom Hiddleston upon arriving at Los Angeles airport.

Watch the moment Kim exposed Taylor on Snapchat! Post continues…

Tom and Taylor opted for matching navys for their nautical-themed looks.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, who recently celebrated their two-year wedding anniversary, have also been known to dabble in couple dressing.

And even our favourite royal couple aren’t exempt!

After over a decade together, Brangelina have this matchy-matchy thing all worked out.

Too cute!

Sharon Stone shares rare photos with her three sons

The actress looks blissfully content in this charming new family photo!
Sharon Stone

She might be one of Hollywood’s most celebrated leading ladies but when Sharon Stone is at home with her sons Roan, 16, Laird, 11 and Quinn, 10, it turns out she’s just a laid-back mum who loves to spend time with her kids kicking back in her pyjamas.

Taking to Instagram, the 58-year-old posted the rare snap to celebrate the last day of summer.

In the pic, Sharon reclines on the couch and is surrounded by her boys – her youngest two are splayed out on the floor while Roan sitting proudly next to his mum.

The Basic Instinct beauty and her second husband Phil Bronstein adopted Roan back in 2000.

Sharon and Phil split in 2004 and the star went on to adopt Laird in 2005 and Quinn the following year.

The star and her boys.

Over the years, the star has been open and honest about the challenging road she had to parenthood, which included miscarriages.

“The last time I lost the baby, I went into 36 hours of labour. While we were at the hospital, our adoption attorney called,” the star explained to AARP magazine in 2012.

“I thought, ‘This is such a godsend. This is so right.’ I always thought I would adopt. Even when I was young, I used to look up how to adopt.”

WATCH: Sharon on how her sons helped her recover following a horrifying hemorrhage. Post continues after the video…

Last year, the actress revealed to Extra she’d love to find the one now that her sons are old enough to understand relationships.

“What’s happened is my kids have reached the age where I feel comfortable to date,” she admitted.

“I didn’t want to date when they were little. Who needs a bunch of people running in and out of their lives? Now I feel comfortable dating. I am available for dating.”

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson shares adorable clip with baby Jasmine

The 44-year-old is completely besotted by his daughter Jasmine, and it’s easy to see why!
Dwayne Johnson Simone

Papa Dwayne has jetted home for some much needed family time after wrapping up filming for the Fast & Furious 8.

And while he relishes a break from his male co-stars on the film, who he recently branded as “unprofessional”, he’s thoroughly enjoying spending some quality time with his family’s newest addition.

In a clip posted to his Instagram account, the doting dad shows his 63 million fans the special way he and his eight-month-old bub bond together.

In the darling snippet, which we guarantee will melt your heart, sweet little Jasmine can be seen smiling and batting her daddy’s head as he hides from her.

Watch the cutest thing you’ll see today in the video player below! Post continues…

“Finally my big head is used for more than just a place to hang my hat,” the big softie penned.

“The joys of being home [with] my ohana and playin’ one of our fav games – slap daddy’s head ’til I can see his big scary face.”

“Song playing in the background is “O Tiare” (Justin Young). A song I started singing to her every day since she was one week old. Samoan lyrics are beautiful, ‘Ia alofa le Atua, ma tausi ia te ‘oe…’ which translates to ‘may God take loving care of you.’”

The former wrestler continued, “When Jasmine learns to talk, I’m sure she’ll ask me to please stop singing. I must now go do something very manly and bad ass to counterbalance this post.”

The tiny tot is fascinated by her papa’s tattoos!

It’s clear that the fitness icon simply can’t get enough of his darling girl. He would do anything and everything for her, no matter when or where.

And he proved this dedication last month when he uploaded a happy snap performing his daddy duties mid-flight!

“Regardless of where we’re at.. when #2 happens with my baby girl.. I’m the #1 man for the job,” he wrote adding a slew of hilarious hashtags: “#TheWorkinMan #DaddysGotU #JustKeepPlayinWithYourToysMama #IWillDealWithMyBackSpasmsLater”

And we are melting!

The father-of-two frequently uses his voice on social media to allow fans an insight into his life as a father to both baby Jasmine and his 15-year-old daughter, Simone Johnson, who he shares with ex-wife Dany Garcia.

“To all you young men out there who will be fathers one day, the goal of ‘being better’ will never steer you wrong,” he wrote beside the first photo shared of his newest daughter.

“Trust me. Something else that’ll never steer you wrong is ‘walking thru the fire’ with your baby’s mama.”

Now a teen, Simone is growing into a stunning young woman!

Scott Eastwood talks about the crash that killed his girlfriend

I’ve never told anybody that...

In a recent interview with GQ Australia, Scott Eastwood – the son of legendary actor/director Clint Eastwood – spoke for the first time about the death about his girlfriend in 2014.

When asked about the last time he cried, Eastwood responded, “I dated a girl a couple of years ago who died in a car accident.”

Apparently, the accident itself was quite minor but the car she was driving had a faulty airbag. “The f–ked up thing is, it was a fender bender, and there was a recall on airbags,” he said.

“Her airbag exploded. It shot a projectile through her body. It split her spine, and um… I’ve never told anybody that. I’ve lost friends before; I’ve lost some great friends. But, I had never lost someone I had been really intimate with, you know, like in that way, in a relationship. I think that really affected me in a way that… I don’t know. Maybe it’s made it harder for me to date.”

While Eastwood did not reveal her identity, People reports that the woman was a 26-year-old model named Jewel Brangman. The Honda Civic she was driving was fitted with defective airbags manufactured by Takata Corp. of Japan. According to reports, the airbags became unstable when exposed to moisture, causing the metal canister to explode. This resulted in one of the biggest airbag recalls in the history of America, with 24 automakers recalling 24 million vehicles.

To this day, Eastwood has never spoken to Brangman’s father. “I still never called her father. I still haven’t found the right words.”

A tragic story for all involved.

Emma Bunton wants Victoria Beckham to be Posh Spice again

Say you'll be there! Emma Bunton is pushing for Victoria to step back into her Posh Spice platforms... And David Beckham agrees.
Emma Bunton and Victoria Beckham

While the fashionista still isn’t convinced about a Spice Girls reunion, it looks like Baby Spice has some major support behind her.

The mum-of-two was talking to the hosts on UK’s This Morning when the conversation turned to the band’s 20th anniversary reunion.

“There’s nothing set in stone,” she told the British breakfast show. “I personally think we should do something. It would be lovely (but) I think we need a Posh.”

“For a long time she [Victoria] has wished us the best,” Emma admitted.

“I was talking to her at David’s birthday party and he said ‘You’ve got to do something.'”

Adding, “Maybe she will change her mind, she does that, who knows.”

Earlier this year Emma, Geri Horner, and Melanie Brown announced on YouTube that in 2017 they’ll be recording new music and organising new shows.

Unfortunately, it seems like Mel C is against the reunion, with a source telling The Sun she may pursue legal action.

“Mel has told the other girls she is consulting lawyers about whether the reunion can go ahead without her.”

Courteney Cox on the cosmetic procedures she regrets

In a candid confession The Friends actress has revealed she found getting older very difficult.

Courteney Cox has opened up about her cosmetic procedures, saying she regrets chasing youth.

The 52-year-old actress made the candid confession to survival king Bear Grylls when she appeared on his show Running Wild With Bear Grylls.

Scroll down for the video

In a new video clip released by the production, the mother-of-one talks about how she found growing older much harder than she thought it would be.

“Getting older is not the easiest thing,” the brunette confessed. “But I have learnt lessons.”

“I was trying to keep up with getting older and trying to chase that,” she continued.

The much beloved show is constantly plagued by reunion rumours.

“Getting older is not the easiest thing. But I have learnt lessons,” the Friends beauty confided.

But Courteney admitted it wasn’t successful for one very important reason.

“It’s something you can’t keep up with,” she said. “The more you relax with it and the less you try…”

She confesses that she definitely wasn’t a fan of the way she looked after her various cosmetic procedures.

“Sometimes you find yourself trying and then you look at a picture of yourself and you go, ‘Oh god, I look horrible.’”

Then and now: Courteney in the height of her Friends hey-day and looking fresh-faced years later.

Courteney says she feels lucky that she didn’t do anything that was totally permanent.

“I have done things that I regret, and luckily there are things that dissolve and go away. So that’s good because it’s not always been my best look.”

The brunette’s new life motto is: “let it be”.

The mother-of-one showed off her hunting skills as she appeared on Running Wild With Bear Grylls.

And Bear was the first to praise the star’s genuine look and persona.

“The natural you is amazing,” he said. “And there’s life in your eyes.”

While on the show with Bear, Courteney had to involve herself in several activities, dangerous and disgusting, and was apprehensive about the process.

In one scene she has to pull herself across a ravine, dangling from a harness and a rope.

In another, she is forced to pick apart a sheep scrotum full of maggots as Bear talks her into her alternative dinner.

It’s safe to say Courteney looked suitably shocked when Bear revealed their menu for the night.
