Eerily accurate fan fiction predicted Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston"s relationship in 2014

TAYLOR SWIFT Y TOM HIDDLESTON: LO QUE SABEMOS

It"s not very original to compare the worldwide web to a monkey banging on a typewriter, but here we are. Millions of us have been banging on keyboards for many years now and somehow, somewhere, someone predicted the current predicament some are calling "Hiddleswift" two years before it happened, and with some eerily accurate details.

I"ll recap quickly for those who haven"t been keeping up: Taylor Swift broke up with her exceptionally boring boyfriend (a rich DJ named Calvin Harris) two weeks ago. On Wednesday, a bit unkindly, the entire Twittersphere was thrust into the ice-cold shower of a Sun exclusive. The British tabloid published several photos of Swift canoodling with Tom Hiddleston on a pile of rocks near her home in Rhode Island. The pictures showed them wearingleather shoes on a beach, which was equally disturbing to some. Me, I"m just wondering who made the insane rock sculpture in the corner of the frame.

this relationship already felt like fan fiction

The Sun also embedded a video of the two dancing at the 2016 Met Ball, where they met three weeks before Swift and Harris" breakup. They are both terrible dancers, and Tom"s tuxedo has tails.

Even as I type, these events seem improbable. What would the world"s biggest pop star have in common with a 35-year-old man who has only recently been able to book acting jobs outside the Thor universe? Who falls in love at a dinner partysponsored by a global tech corporation? Seriously, who takes the time to build aBlair Witch-inspired craft projectin between spit-swappings?

Yet, these events aren"t only real, they were predicted. Jennifer Stanley, a fan fiction writer who posts her work on Archive of Our Own, wrotea 12,000-word piece called "Wildest Dreams" in late 2014. It accurately predicts the celebrity relationship moniker that sprung up around the Hiddleston-Swift romance ("Hiddleswift!") and depicts the pair meeting at the 2015 Met Gala. It"s the wrong year, but I"m still chilled right down to my bone. Is Taylor Swift the all-seeing eye? It"s just a coincidence.

Some highlights from the most terrifying piece of fan fiction I"ve ever read:

Taylor Swift struggles to remember watching Thor.

"But there was a flash of blue eyes somewhere in the crowd that met mine and held my gazeif only for a split second. They were all too familiar, but where had I seen those eyes before? I bit the inside of my cheek after I had glanced away, losing focus of the conversation taking place in front of me as I fished through my mind like mad to figure out where I had seen them before. Where? Where?!"

Tom Hiddleston has strange anatomy.

"A cute chuckle rumbled out from his chest."

Taylor learns a lot.

"I learned so much more about Tom that night than I could ever imagine. h**l, I even learned so much about Ancient Chinese Culture."

The rest of the fiction is NSFW, and is tagged with a "s**t" warning. (Hey mom, I"m reading s**t at work!)

The oddest thing about the story is that Stanley integrated lyrics from Swift"s song "Wildest Dreams," making the encounter with Hiddleston serve as the creative impetus for the song. Hiddleston actually looks a lot likethe guy in the music video for "Wildest Dreams," which was released last August. He"s extremely Anglican-looking, and constantly wearing linen shirts. The video is also very "Old Hollywood," and Hiddleston is considered the frontrunner to take over the role of James Bond. I don"t know what I"m saying, really, but I wouldn"t be shocked to discover that Swift has had this stunt in mind for a very long time! Is it so hard to believe that Swift reads all the fan fiction about herself, carefully selecting the best plot lines to integrate into the Grand Narrative of Swift? I believe it! Okay, that"s absurd, she"s a person.

But how do you explainStanley"s sequel to "Wildest Dreams"? In "I Know Places," Hiddleston and Swift are hanging out in "the water," when their relationship is exposed prematurely by the media. It was written in April of 2015.

The real life "Hiddleswift" even feels like fan fiction they"re both pop culture figures that young internet denizens are extremely passionate about (Hiddleston is often referred to as"The Internet"s Boyfriend") and they have ostensibly nothing to do with each other. The only place they possibly could meet is at the Met Ball Manhattan"s annual party for anyone who is famous for any reason.

I don"t know why "Hiddleswift" has happened, but I do know, by the classic laws of probability, that it was just as likely to happen as any other thing. And while that is the basic premise of fan fiction, it is the antithesis of the premise of Taylor Swift"sexpertly curated life. In all our days on this messy Earth, we will never know what is random and what is Swift.

Potential Leonardo DiCaprio Deposition in "Wolf of Wall Street" Suit Brings Objection

Wolf of Wallstreet (water fight scene FULL)

Director Martin Scorsese and screenwriter Terence Winter have already given depositions in a defamation lawsuit brought by a former Stratton Oakmont executive.

The parties involved in a dispute over whether Martin Scorsese"sThe Wolf of Wall Street defamed formerStratton Oakmont executive Andrew Greene are quarreling over the need to depose Leonardo DiCaprio, who played Jordan Belfort in the film.

Greene alleges that the toupee-wearing character of Nicky "Rugrat" Koskoff, played by actor P.J. Byrne, hurt his reputation and damaged him by $15 million. In October, a judge dismissed the many claims including an asserted privacy intrusion, but gave Greene a small amount of wiggle room to possibly move forward. Greene still hasn"t filed an amended complaint, but as he seeks to establish that producers including Paramount Pictures, Red Granite Pictures, DiCaprio"s Appian Way Productions and Sikelia Productions maliciously spread untruths about him, the parties have engaged in a limited amount of discovery.

According to court documents filed on Monday, Scorsese and screenwriter Terence Winter have been disposed. As for DiCaprio, Greene"s lawyer writes to the judge that the actor is "knowledgeable regarding significant issues in this case" and want him to face questioning regardless of his busy schedule.

"Plaintiff"s counsel has offered to travel to Los Angeles if necessary," attorney Aaron Goldsmith writes. "However, it should be noted that Mr. DiCaprio has made headlines in the recent weeks for making trips back and forth to New York to attend events and celebrations."

Vincent c*x, the attorney for the defendants, responds with more information about the objection to DiCaprio"s deposition. He writes in his own letter that the deposition is "unnecessary" because either Greene"s alleged depiction was part of the script (in which case, Winter could discuss) or the product of on-set improvisation (in which case, Scorsese would discuss). The lawyer notes whose deposition is not being taken.

"Plaintiff"s insistence upon taking the deposition of Mr. DiCaprio has certain earmarks of the intentional infliction of burden," he writes. "Specifically, Plaintiff is taking the deposition of Mr. DiCaprio, who did not write the screenplay or direct the film, and has elected to not take the depositions of the actor who played Nicky "Rugrat" Koskoff, and has not taken the deposition of Jordan Belfort, the author of the underlying allegedly defamatory material upon which the film is based or of Steve Madden, the money-laundering co-conspirator of Andrew Greene."

The argument that DiCapro"s deposition won"t add anything will likely be addressed Thursday at a status conference. The defendants are suggesting there could be a nefarious motive. "Discovery should not be used as an instrument of burden to coerce an outcome that is not based upon the merits of the case," writes c*x.

It should also be noted that the demand for DiCaprioto talk under oath about development of the filmis happening as federal authorities are reportedly investigating the source of money that Red Granite used to fund Wolf of Wall Street.

Animal Kingdom premiere recap: "Pilot" / "We Don"t Hurt People"

Table Read - He"s In | Animal Kingdom | TNT

If gritty crime dramas with hunky men and mommy issues are your thing, theres a good chance youre going to go crazy for Animal Kingdom. Loosely adapted from the 2010 Australian film of the same name though more closely resembling a TV version of Point Break than anything else TNTs Animal Kingdom is steeped in California noir goodness. Theres coke, neon lights, sunny beaches, weed, robberies, violence, and Ellen Barkin. What more could you ask for?

The premiere certainly gets right down to business, with paramedics showing up at an apartment and responding to a woman dying from a heroin overdose while her son sits on the couch with a nonchalant look on his face. Its obvious hes been here before, though this time is different. The boy is Josh, a.k.a. J, and this time his mom, Julia, doesnt recover. After she dies, J ends up calling his grandmother (Ellen Barkin), known affectionately as Smurf, for a place to stay.

Smurf comes to pick up her grandson, and smuggles away some drugs while shes at it. As J is about to leave, hes confronted by his moms dealer, whos asking for money hes owed. J doesnt tell him his Mom died, but he doesnt pay him either. Its a small moment, but one that leads to a bigger turning point later in the episode.

When J is brought back to his grandmothers place, we get a glimpse at the life she and her sons are living. Theres a pool, nice cars, plenty of TVs, and money lying around the house. It seems like theyre living the dream, especially compared to the relative squalor J was used to, but its clear that everythings not exactly on the up-and-up. Still, Js uncles set him up in a room, bring him a TV, and give him some money to buy new shoes.

As it turns out, Js extended family are a bunch of criminals, mostly running robbery jobs. Smurfs in charge and her boys do the grunt work. Smurf wants to bring J into the fold for the next operation, which is set to go down in a few days, but her boys arent so sure. They dont know a thing about J and arent sure if they can trust him.

Still, the uncles are trying to make J feel at home, in their own twisted, criminally inclined way. They take him surfing, where they intentionally p**s off other surfers before getting J to pull a gun and show that hes manly enough, that he can hold his own with the big boys. J is clearly reluctant, but what choice does he have?

Back at home, J discovers the room hes staying in isnt exactly his. It belonged to Pope (Shawn Hatosy), another one of Smurfs sons, who was sent to prison for three years for robbing a bank. Hes back home now and not entirely excited to see J in his room. The feeling seems mutual. J is wary of the man and so is Smurf, whos fairly reserved for someone whose boy just got out of prison.

When J isnt spending time being slightly mystified and terrified of his uncles, hes hanging out with his girlfriend, Nicky. After some foreplay that J isnt into (ya know, because of the whole dead-mom thing), they start talking about his moms death and where hes living. As the episode progresses, its hinted that Nickys about to get roped into this criminal lifestyle alongside J, if shes not careful.

Here"s Why Jennifer Aniston Can Wear a Coat and Scarf in the Summer and Not Melt

Storks Official Trailer #2 (2016) - Andy Samberg, Jennifer Aniston Movie HD

Is it hot in here or is it just us? (Photo: Getty Images)

Looking hot, Jen!

Yesterday afternoon, Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux were photographed while out and about in New York City on a picture-perfect day sunny and somewhat breezy with temperatures in the low- to mid- 80s. The couple, who just returned from vacationing in the Bahamas, were dressed comfortably and causally during their stroll. Therouxwas wearing a sleeveless T-shirt with skinny jeans, while Aniston opted for a long-sleeved trench coat and a scarf(or two) wrapped around her neck.

Yes, a coat and scarf in 80-degree weather.

Mrs. Theroux is not the only person who doesnt appear to be fazed by extra layers in the heat. In fact, researchers from Tel Aviv University and Harvard University investigated the possible reason that the Bedouins people who live in the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt drape themselves in black robes while spending their days in the sweltering desert sun. As it turns out, the study authors discovered, wearing a black robe wasnt any hotter than donning a white one, and any additional solar heat was absorbed by the robe before it had a chance to reach the skin.

So, do we have different internal thermostats?

In general, were supposed to have similar temperatures, so people shouldnt be running extra cold or hot, Kristine Arthur, MD, an internist at Orange Coast Memorial Medical Center in Fountain Valley, Calif., tells Yahoo Beauty. But it certainly doesnt mean theres a problem if someone tends to wear a little more clothing or a little less its really more of an issue if its affecting a persons quality of life.

However, if an individual feels chilly most of the time, it may be signaling a possible health issue. For example, he or she may be too thin or underweight, have poor circulation, have hormonal issues, or be dealing with a thyroid problem. If you have an underactive or sluggish thyroid which is a lot more common than an overactive thyroid those people usually complain about feeling cold, adds Arthur.

In the most severe cases, someone could be suffering from Raynauds disease, a rare autoimmune disorder that causes blood vessels to narrow, leaving certain areas of the body (usually fingers and toes) cold or numb.

But chances are, ones perceived body temperature is connected with Mother Nature. People really acclimate to their surroundings after a certain time period, concludes Arthur. If you are living in Southern California, like where I live, we get used to hot weather. If it gets into the 60s, were going to put a sweater on. Maybe in Jennifer Anistons situation, shes used to the weather in Southern California, so when she visits New York City, she just bundles up a little bit.
