Table for two under the name of Hiddleswift, please!
Hollywood’s favourite golden couple, Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston, just stepped out for a good old-fashioned Aussie date night, appropriately on the Gold Coast.
The loved-up pair, who arrived Down Under on July 8, took time out from their busy schedules to have a romantic dinner date on our shores.
Tay and Tom looked super casual and relaxed, sporting stylish yet laid-back outfits.
Check out Taylor and Tom’s twinning style as they touched down in Sydney in the clip below. Post continues.

The pair walked hand in hand, as if Tom didn’t want to let her go.
Taylor sported a very low cut wrap dress that showed off her stunning figure, while Tom opted for jeans and a sweater in what seems to be his signature colour lately: navy blue.
Onlookers seemed to reject speculation that their romance is all for the cameras, saying the two looked very much in love indeed.
Taylor’s dress was VERY low cut… but it doesn’t look like Tom’s complaining!
“Tom looked smitten with her as they talked softly and she giggled a lot,” one source confessed to Us Weekly.
“They were beaming as they gave warm smiles to onlookers, like any new couple who just can’t hide their feelings for each other,” they continued.
Even a bystander couldn’t help but sneak a glance at the loved-up Hollywood pair.
The new couple flew into Sydney from LAX late last week while Tom films a new Thor movie.
The onlooker also remarked that it looked like Tay-Tay might have been getting a bit of Aussie sun, saying her skin looked “a little more sun-kissed than usual.”
The lovebirds reportedly spent about an hour dining, before holding hands and swinging their arms as they walked back to their waiting car.
They reportedly couldn’t stop staring into each other’s eyes, as Tom, ever the gentleman, helped his lady back into the car before they sped away to their hotel.
The Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson is apparently gearing up for a major legal battle against the former owners of News of the World.
According to the Daily Mail she’s reportedly suing the business moguls for the release of footage back in 2010 purporting to show Fergie offering access to Prince Andrew in exchange for cash.
Unfortunately for the Duchess, the “businessman” offering her the deal in the footage was actually an undercover reporter for News of the World.
In the filmed encounter, it appears as if the former royal accepts a down payment of £27,000 as part of a much larger £500,000 deal to introduce the reporter to the Prince.
See the footage of Fergie’s alleged cash grab in the video below. Post continues.

Fergie was under fire for allegedly selling access to her former husband Prince Andrew.
But Fergie is still apparently furious over the ordeal, and she’s planning a big legal case against Rupert Murdoch’s News Group according to The Mail on Sunday.
According to the publication, the 56-year-old claims the event cost was badly damaging to her reputation, and hurt her credibility and earning potential.
The former royal says the event is to blame for her recent cash troubles.
The Duchess recently reunited with her family at Royal Ascot.
Insiders allege the mother of two is desperate for cash and is riddled with debt following a number of failed business ventures in the US.
The Duchess of York believes she could be entitled to millions after the footage of the embarrassing event went global.
Sarah has had many failed business ventures and money troubles since splitting with Prince Andrew.
Sources claim Sarah feels she was entrapped and her remarks were edited to a point where she was taken out of context.
If Sarah does indeed file papers to initiate court proceedings against the media empire, it would be the first time a member of the royal family has ever sued for compensation.
Delta Goodrem is loved the nation over for her mind-blowing vocals, ageless beauty and unbreakable spirit, but she’s still haunted by the terrible disease that almost stole her life when she was just a teenager.
“I’m a survivor,” says Delta triumphantly in her recently released film clip for Dear Life.
Her words of strength, along with moving images of her time as a recovering cancer patient, is a chilling reminder of how close Australia came to losing its sweetheart, and how heavily it still weighs on her mind.

The long election campaign and its aftermath are nearly over, but don’t expect the political dramas and shenanigans to end once the final vote is counted.
While you’ve been getting on with your life since election day, officials have carefully been counting the votes to determine who actually won.
And even though they’re still not finished, Opposition Leader Bill Shorten announced on Sunday that there are not enough uncounted votes left for Labor to win, meaning that Malcolm Turnbull and the Coalition had won the election.
At this point, the Coalition had 74 of the 76 seats it needed to hold government, whereas Labor had only 66, while 5 remained undecided.
Why has it taken so long to count the votes? Well it always takes this long, but we don’t notice because it usually becomes obvious on election night when around 70 per cent of the votes have been counted that one side or the other has won enough seats.
But this time the result was so close that neither side had won enough seats on Saturday night, meaning that we had to wait for all the votes to be counted. This can take more than a week because the electoral commission has to give enough time for postal votes to get through the mail, which as we all know is not the quickest way to get anything delivered.
So what happens now? Malcolm Turnbull will visit the Governor-General and advise he has the numbers to form government.
But before he does that, Turnbull, as leader of the Liberal Party, will have to reach a coalition agreement with Barnaby Joyce, the leader of the Nationals.
This is done each time the Liberals and Nationals agree to work together as a coalition. The agreement usually involves a commitment for the Nationals to have a certain number of seats in the ministry, and for the rural-based party to have certain portfolios such as agriculture and trade.
Once the PM has reached this agreement with the Nationals and been to see the Governor-General, he will announce a new ministry and get back into the business of running the country. This will happen in the next week or so.
Although supporters of former prime minister Tony Abbott have called for him to be returned to the ministry, Turnbull has made it clear he intends to promote younger MPs when replacing the two junior ministers who were voted out at the election.
This makes it likely some of Abbott’s younger supporters will be made ministers by the PM instead. However this won’t put an end to the troubles that Malcolm Turnbull has on his hands.
Even with the promise of a few more of their own being promoted to the new ministry, Abbott’s supporters are gearing up for a battle with Turnbull over the way the national vote will be held on same sex marriage. Those MPs don’t want gay marriage to be legalised even if the Australian community votes yes.
The Abbott camp also wants the PM to back down on the changes to superannuation announced in the 2016 budget.
And then there are the demands Labor will make on the re-elected Turnbull Government.
Labor leader Bill Shorten said on Sunday that he expected the Coalition to keep the promises it made to the Australian people during the election campaign, but that Labor would stand up for Medicare, make sure schools are properly funded and give priority to Australian jobs.
Given that some of the Coalition’s election promises were to freeze Medicare rebates and reduce school funding it will be interesting to see how Labor intends to keep the Government to these promises while simultaneously opposing them.
In addition to the Labor opposition, the re-elected Turnbull government will also have to deal with an assortment of independent and minor party MPs that were elected just over a week ago.
This will be particularly challenging in the Senate, where the Government will have to either do deals with Labor to get legislation passed or win the votes of a bunch of small party senators.
The second option will mean having to reach agreement with Nick Xenophon and his senators, Pauline Hanson and hers, as well as Jacqui Lambie and Derryn Hinch.
The long election campaign and its aftermath are nearly over, but don’t expect the political dramas and shenanigans to end once the final vote is counted.
Malcolm Turnbull may have finally won the election, but his challenges are only just beginning.
The cheeky tyke, who is beloved by the world, couldn’t have been more chuffed for his family’s fun excursion.
In a sweet early birthday present, George, who turns three on July 22nd, went to show filled with his favourite things – planes!
Kensington Palace announced that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were involving their little one as they attended the 2016 Royal International Air Tattoo.
“The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince George will attend the Royal International Air Tattoo @airtattoo today #RIAT2016”
Before adding, “The @airtattoo is a fantastic family-orientated event. The Duke and Duchess know that George will enjoy seeing the aircraft up close.”
Let’s take a closer look, shall we!
Look at those cheeks!
The trio arrived at the event at around midday, London time, and little Georgie was clearly amused.
With his trademark point and cheeky grin in check, the little tyke was ready for a day filled with aero-themed adventure!
“Taking a closer look @rafredarrows Red Arrow Hawk, which will take part in the @airtattoo later,” the palace revealed.
But George was most excited to see his daddy’s old helicopter.
“Taking a closer look at a @RoyalAirForce Squirrel helicopter, which The Duke trained upon @RAFShawburyCC in 2009”
That’s daddy’s old plane!
My turn! Georgie tries out the Red Hawk Arrow
The family attended the event in celebration of a huge milestone – their 75th anniversary!
“Staged in support of @rafcharitable, the spectacular @airtattoo is this year celebrating 75 years of the @aircadets #RIAT2016,” they explained.

While Princess Charlotte, presumably, stayed at home, George got to indulge in his love of all things with wheels and that fly!
Last year while speaking to Pauline Hallett of Ogwen Mountain Rescue, Catherine, who is an honorary air cadet, shared George’s growing passion for helicopters.
“Catherine said how much George loved them. He knows all the different colours and asks her about all the parts. She laughed and said she tells George to ask Daddy as she has no idea.”
It appears that the royal apple doesn’t fall far from the tree – Prince William worked as an RAF search and rescue pilot in Anglesey before he and Catherine moved to London and Norfolk, and now volunteers as a pilot for charity East Anglian Air Ambulance.
While mum and dad chatted with the Air Cadets, Georgie had his eye on something else!
Growing up, we always thought Disneyland was the happiest place on earth, but a new thread on community social and networking site, Reddit, would indicate quite the opposite…
Employees past and present of the theme park have taken to the site in a bid to outdo each other with their craziest tales of working in the magical kingdom, and well, you just have to read them for yourself.
Prepare for a roller-coaster of emotions!
1. A different kind of happy place
“I was a sweeper in Disneyland back in the early 1980s. We would get assigned an area and you would just circle through it. I was working Tomorrowland near the monorail station (which went to the Disneyland Hotel across the street.)
“I saw a nice looking woman there who would strike up a conversation with a man, and then they would go get on the monorail. An hour later she would be back and strike up a conversation with another man and off they would go. I suppose she made a pretty good living finding lonely guys to entertain in her own magical way.”
2. You don’t see that everyday
“While riding Pirates of the Caribbean a few years ago, a lady pulled out a bag and dumped the contents into the water. She was crying and sort of laughing at the same time.
“It soon became clear that she had dumped her husbands ashes in the water as his final resting place. She was caught on camera and got in trouble, but it couldn’t be undone. Both creepy and cool at the same time.”
Katie Holmes certainly didn’t see anything this crazy on her trip to the Princess’ castle.
3. Who knew Mickey Mouse was the jealous type?
“I was sitting with a group of guys by where Mickey and Minnie get dressed. When they came out, the guys started cat-calling Minnie.
“The guy that was Mickey said, in a perfect Mickey voice, ‘If you look at my girlfriend again I’m gonna pop ya!'”
4. This wasn’t in the brochure
“I was working in the kitchen at Cinderella’s castle when this family of four came in for dinner. About half way through the dinner, the husband politely stands up and taps his glass for attention.
“He announced that his wife of 15 years had been cheating on him for over a year. The entire place stood still in shock. He motioned for his kids, paid the waitress and left the wife crying at the table.”
Harper Beckham certainly thinks Disneyland is the happiest place on earth.
5. A close call
“I worked a ride in Animal Kingdom a long time ago. I saw a 10-foot-long snake emerge from an area with lots of plants and bushes. It slowly works its way through a line of about 200 people.
“It weaved its way through people’s legs, strollers, bags, etc… and then it just casually slipped back into another wooded area. No one noticed!”
All stories have been edited from Reddit for length and clarity.
Chrissy Teigen had her own close call when she visited Disneyland earlier this year…
California. It’s a land where rebel chefs are constantly rewriting the culinary rules and $2 Korean street tacos can earn serious gourmet street cred. It’s where you’ll drive down a tree-lined lane to a winery in a grand chateau or a family-run vineyard where the guy pouring in the tasting room is a world-class winemaker. Everywhere you turn in California, there are endless ways to taste, sip, savour and enjoy!
• Return economy airfares to California for 2 people
• 2 nights in San Francisco + 2 nights in Napa + 2 nights in Los Angeles + 2 nights in San Diego
• Luxury accommodation and dinners at California’s top restaurants, Michelin-starred Atelier Crenn and your choice of Curtis Stone’s restaurants, Maude or Gwen
• Plus 9 days convertible car hire and US $1000 spending money
Second chance draw:
• 2x return economy airfares to California from the nearest capital city to the value of $4000 AUD
Every now and then, a new beauty craze takes Hollywood by storm.
By now, we’ve seen everything from bee sting therapy to aloe vera juice, but the latest and perhaps best beauty product to hit the Hollywood scene has, in fact, been here all along.
Coconut oil has been used over thousands of years for a myriad of purposes.
From cooking to medicine, there’s really not a lot this wonder substance can’t do!
It’s no secret that this miracle product has gained A LOT of attention for its incredible properties over the last few years, but the latest celeb to jump aboard the coconut train is Chrissy Teigen, and while we considered ourselves to be coconut oil experts, even we learnt a few helpful tips and tricks from the new muma.
Substitute butter or olive oil for coconut oil!
“I started getting into coconut oil maybe two or three years ago,” the Sports Illustrated model, who was recently named a spokeswoman for Vita Coco Coconut Oil, told Us Weekly.
“That’s when I fell in love with cooking a little lighter because my metabolism slowed down a bit. But now it’s gone from food to beauty.”
See the many ways Chrissy uses coconut in the video player below! Post continues…

With a mission to prove all the many ways you can use the magic elixir, the 30-year-old took to Snapchat.
Kicking off the snap-a-thon, Chrissy showed her many followers her favourite way to fry and egg using coconut oil.
“Put 2 tablespoons of oil or so into a cast-iron dish and fry eggs in it. It comes off the pan so nicely; it’s a much better flavour,” she says.
Chrissy even uses the delicious oil as a spread or popcorn topping.
The secret to Luna’s baby smooth skin!
In the telling video, the new mummy also reveals the multiple ways she uses coconut oil as a skincare.
“Dry lips? No problem!” she says as she slathers a healthy amount onto her pout lips.
In addition to using the product as a shaving cream, makeup remover and moisteriser, the bronde beauty also goes on to show how she uses coconut oil on her two-month-old daughter’s skin.
“It is the only thing that actually hasn’t been too harsh for her,” John Legend’s wife quipped of her newborn’s sensitive baby skin.
“I truly have not had a diaper rash since… She smells like a little Thai coconut curry! I love it!”
Use coconut oil for a cheaper and more natural approach to harsh shaving creams.
