Hiddleston being lined up to replace love rival Calvin Harris as face of Armani pants
Taylor Swift's new flame also bulking up for potential 007 role — so there's another reason to get his body out
HE has seduced his ex TAYLOR SWIFT, and now TOM HIDDLESTON may land CALVIN HARRIS’s old job too.
I’ve learned the actor is wanted by Armani to take over from his love rival as the face of its underwear line.
Calvin was the face of Armani’s pants range since 2014 but I told last week how he cut ties with the firm to start his own fashion range.
My source revealed: “Armani has Tom on its shortlist of potential replacements for Calvin alongside JOE JONAS, CHRIS PINE and LIAM HEMSWORTH.”
Tom has the credentials for the job on his CV. He got his bum out on BBC hit The Night Manager and last week posed in a pair of white grandad boxers for a photoshoot.
Yesterday I revealed how the actor is bulking up in his bid to become the next 007.
Now there could be another reason for him to get his body out.
Please Don't Stop the Music
RIHANNA has refused to perform any encores on the UK leg of her world tour.
And you can see why, as an extended stay on stage means less time in nightclubs.
The Bajan turned up at Tramp in London on Wednesday night, just hours after her gig in Manchester.
It's the fourth time she's been out in seven days, after gatecrashing NICOLE SCHERZINGER'S birthday on Tuesday and clubbing on Friday and Saturday.
But despite her lack of sleep, she still managed to look totally immaculate in this black dress and colourful heels.
It was a slightly different vibe to her appearance in her new video for Sledgehammer, a song which features in upcoming flick Star Trek Beyond.
That would test nightclub dress code rules.
Lou fight for Fred
HE’S already relocated to LA to be near him, now LOUIS TOMLINSON is taking even more drastic steps to spend time with baby son Freddie Reign.
The ONE DIRECTION star is gearing up for a court battle with the boy’s mum BRIANA JUNGWIRTH by seeking joint custody of little Freddie.
He’s grown tired of how “inconsistent” she’s been in regards to his access.
It’s hardly surprising things have turned messy, the pair had already split up before realising she was pregnant.
If the court sides with him, it will mean Louis and Briana will get an equal split in terms of the time they get with Freddie.
Hopefully they can get it settled soon.
Zayn's just a big pussycat
HE plays up to his bad boy image, but ZAYN MALIK has proved he can be a complete pussycat when he wants to be.
The former ONE DIRECTION star has forked out thousands of pounds to fund surgery for a 13-year-old cat after hearing it was abused by its owner’s roommate.
Melanie Oliva, who lives in the US, put out an appeal on Instagram earlier this week asking her followers for £3,700 to help the family pet, Nino, recover after he was left blind in one eye and had to be fed with a tube due to a broken jaw.
The heartbreaking tale struck a chord with Zayn, who heard about it when someone posted about the feline on Twitter.
In a direct message shared online, he wrote: “Hey I’d like to pay for the cat’s surgery can you send me the details of where to transfer the money please.”
Zayn’s spokeswoman has since confirmed he has covered the costs.
Now I know who to ring next time my beloved cat Dirk needs to go to the vets.
Celine's movie dream
THE woman responsible for one of the most famous movie sound- tracks of all time could soon be starring in one.
CELINE DION, who sang Titanic theme My Heart Will Go On, has announced plans to finish her career as an actress. The 48-year-old Canadian isn’t hanging up her mic just yet but has revealed she wants to become a Hollywood star in her sixties.
She said: “I’ll be a good old actress. I’ll be better later. I don’t have the cinematic face, cute and French. I want to make movies in something like 15 years.”
She must have picked up tips during her many years in showbusiness.
Roll on 2031.
Defoe's ex-cess
EX-England striker JERMAIN DEFOE must bump into an ex each time he goes out.
But he didn’t expect to see TWO old flames – IMOGEN THOMAS and CASEY BATCHELOR – while relaxing in just a dressing gown and slippers at a spa in Herts with his latest mystery Wag.
Imogen and Casey, who was there to launch new teeth whitener Warpaint, have seen him in less.
New month, new single
THE arrival of July can only mean one thing — a new OLLY MURS single.
After ditching his X Factor job Olly is back in the day job and will release You Don't Know Love next week.
He co-wrote the follow-up to his smash hit Kiss Me with legendary songwriter WAYNE HECTOR, who has previously brought us pop gems such as WESTLIFE's World Of Our Own and 1D's Best Song Ever.
I've no doubt it will be a hit.
