Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston haven’t been spotted together for weeks, but are they really on the rocks?
According to a new report, Taylor Swift is focused on her friend, Selena Gomez, who recently announced struggles with panic attacks, anxiety, and depression, as Hiddleston continues to film the upcoming installment of Thor in Australia.
At the end of last month, Us Weekly revealed Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston had engaged in a “major fight” after the distance between them put a strain on their relationship, and now a report regarding the possible end of their relationship has surfaced.
“Taylor Swift’s relationship with Tom Hiddleston is allegedly on the rocks. However, it seems like she is reaching her hand out to her best friend Selena Gomez even if she has her personal relationship problems to solve,” the Hall of Fame Magazine revealed to readers on September 2.
Movie News Guide also spoke of Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston’s possibly impending split on August 31, claiming their absence at the recent MTV Video Music Awards was the result of their strained relationship.
“Tom Hiddleston has too much on his plate while his lady love, Taylor Swift is not as busy as she has wrapped up her music tour. It appears the distance is tearing the relationship apart,” the outlet explained.
Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston began dating in June of this year — just weeks after Swift’s relationship with Calvin Harris came to an unexpected and abrupt end. While Swift was believed to have rushed to Harris’ side at the end of May after learning that he was involved in a car accident in Los Angeles, their split was confirmed days later, and two weeks after that, Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston stepped out in Rhode Island.
During a beach visit, Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston made their affections for one another quite clear as they kissed and held hands. Meanwhile, rumors began swirling regarding possible infidelity due to the fact that Swift had been seen dancing with Hiddleston during the Met Gala in New York City in early May.
In other Taylor Swift news, the singer is reportedly in “constant” contact with longtime friend Selena Gomez, who announced she would be taking a break from her career and ongoing tour earlier this week.
In a statement to fans on Tuesday, Gomez revealed that she has been experiencing panic attacks, depression and anxiety, which have been prompted by her battle with Lupus. In turn, she revealed she would be taking “some time off.”
A short while later, a report claimed Taylor Swift had been rallying around her friend and letting her know that she is completely supportive of her decision to focus on her health.
“[Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez] have been in constant communication with each other” throughout Gomez’s struggles, a source told Hollywood Life on August 31. “Taylor has made it clear to Selena that she has her back and can come spend time with her whenever she wants… Taylor wants to try and see Selena as soon as she can to give her a big hug.”
Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez have been close friends for years, and while they are often on different sides of the country — Swift spends the majority of her time in New York City while Gomez is based out of Los Angeles — they always seem to make time for one another when they have extra time.

Here he is! This is Samson, the largest cat in New York City! Dr. Lisa Lippman, a Manhattan veterinarian, said he is by far the biggest cat she has ever heard of!

Samson, a Maine coon, is four feet long and weighs 28 pounds! For perspective, an average cat weighs between 8-10 lbs and is about 2 feet long! It is not unusual, however, for Maine Coon cats to weigh between 15 to 20 lbs.

According to his dad, Splurt Zillionz, Samson is a tender, sweet, but tough guy. Samson likes to wrestle and loves to cuddle – only when no one is watching! Samson is now 4 years old and has been living with his dad in New York since November 2013.

Even though the apartment in NYC are small, Samson always finds a place to hang out. Samson also loves to go for rides in his green cat stroller.

The woman who was electrocuted during a sex romp

A Pennsylvania woman, Kirsten Taylor, 29, was found unconscious on the night of January 23, 2008, in her Lower Windsor Township mobile home. She was taken to York Hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Police had already charged Taylor's husband, Toby, 37, with involuntary manslaughter and reckless endangerment.

So, what happened? The couple regularly used electricity as part of their sex play, but it all went horribly wrong when Toby accidentally administered a lethal shock to his wife with the power cord from her hairdryer—they apparently liked to add a little "spark" to their relationship.

The man who killed his lover while using a cucumber as a sex toy

A German salesman, Oliver Dietmann, 46, accidentally killed his lover, Rica Varna, also 46, with a cucumber.

On July 19, 2014, Oliver used the cuke to pleasure Rita. After it had served its intended purpose, he said he "put it in her mouth. But suddenly I saw there was smoke coming from the kitchen. I forgot that I had put a piece of meat on the stove for my dog."

When he returned to the bedroom, he found Rica unconscious. Medical experts later said that the cucumber got wedged in her throat, cut off her air supply and plunged her into a coma. (No word, at least none that we could find, as to why she didn't remove it herself—unless she was tied up.)

The salesman was convicted of negligent homicide, but spared jail. Instead, he was given a 20-month suspended sentence and ordered to pay a €6,000 (£4,718) fine. (Source | Photo)

He started to fondling her, but suddenly stopped after saying he wasn't feeling well. He rested for a moment, then once again tried to consummate his rape, but once again rolled over and stopped. His victim thought he'd passed out since she smelled liquor on his breath. She bolted from the home and called her daughter, who in turn called the police. When the cops arrived, they found Gutierrez dead from an apparent heart attack. (Source)

The Australian politician who died while making love to his son's ex-girlfriend

Australian Liberal Party leader Sir Billy Snedden was found dead in a room at the Rushcutters Bay Travelodge in Sydney on June 27, 1987. Police said he was wearing a condom and had died of a heart attack. His companion fled the scene to avoid being involved in a scandal.

Sir Billy's son, Drew Mackie Forsyth Snedden, said the woman was an old girlfriend of HIS, who had later become involved with his father. (She was somewhat younger than Sir Billy's 61 years.) Drew said he could not recall whether her relationship with his father had been "a one-off" or something else. "He'd had a number of lady friends around Australia and abroad. He got around a lot. On the night he died, he'd just been welcomed back into the Liberal fold, and he was at his political best. It was an adrenalin-filled evening. I'm sure the old man went out happy—anyone would be proud to die on the job." (Source | Photo)

The popular politician who passed away while in the company of his assistant

In 1979, Nelson Rockefeller—New York's four-term governor, former vice-president of the United States, and the most prominent scion of America's most famous, wealthy family—had succumbed to a heart attack at the age of 70, while in his midtown townhouse with his 25-year-old assistant, Megan Marshack.

Eager for closure, the family allowed no autopsy and had the corpse cremated, hastily absolving everyone involved of any negligence. Long-time Rockefeller aide Joseph E. Persico said, "It became known that he had been alone with a young woman who worked for him, in undeniably intimate circumstances, and in the course of that evening had died from a heart attack." Neither Marshack nor the family has commented since on the circumstances surrounding Rockefeller's death. (Source 1 | Source 2)
