Tom Daley Watch: Coughs

Mail Online

So how are the wedding plans going then?

PS Admittedly this is from Mail Online but I'm quite happy to go with it.

Not gonna happen...

PS Also includes a Q&A about Shirley Temple Black, swimming trunks, food, fans (not the one he had online winky-wanks with), and the wedding (that's not going to happen).

Tom Daley: Naughty But Nice

OLYMPIC diver Tom Daley told how he ­confessed to his fiancé that he had online sex with another man.

Tom said: “It will never happen again” — after film emerged of him stripping for a cyber romp.The Olympic diving ace revealed it took place in a ­seven-month split from hubby-to-be Dustin Lance Black.

But he pledged: “This will absolutely never happen again now that we’re getting married.

“The date is set, and we’re raring and ready to go for that wedding now.”

Tom said he and film-maker Dustin, 42, had secretly been “on a break” because of the demands of their long-distance ­relationship when he chatted with other men online and indulged in cyber sex with one.

Tom said he had confessed all to Dustin about his online sex session...

The Sun.

Well I found this shocking!

Because our Tom has always seemed beyond vanilla sexless.

Great to see him being unapologetic and shameless too.; 'I don’t think I've done anything more or less than any other 22-year-old has done.'

The timing is interesting.

The seven month break must mean they were reunited at the Rio Olympics, and that they parted around xmas and the new year a traditional 'I think we need some space' time.

Pure speculation but I wonder if Tom fessed up the day before the semi-finals - cue screaming row - and that's why he fucked up so badly.

And does it shed any light on Lance's mysterious hospitalisation afterwards?

Who, as they say, can say?

PS For the record The Sun's was the only front page today not hogged by Donald Trump. Though a quick Twitter trawl suggests this story has been doing the rounds for yonks. Oh, and I bet Lance has been living a nun-like life in LA.

I've a feeling we may not hear wedding bells. Gay marriage is a sign a relationship is probably doomed.

PPS Tom's in the middle of a publicity blitz pushing his recipe/well-being book, Tom's Daily Plan - many photos, but all clothed. Most dramatically he claimed in the Mail intensive diving training has damaged a disc and he could end up in a wheelchair. Hard to know if this is a real threat - let's hope not - or an attempt to get more space in the press.

Donovan Carrillo: Skating On Thin Ice

“I’m not bothered being called gay because I’m not. It infuriates me that people see the word ‘gay’ as a joke or an insult towards my hard work.

The fact that I’m an ice skater does not mean that I’m gay. Just like a soccer player isn’t automatically heterosexual."

Yeah, sure. 

It's not like you're completely screaming or anything

Next year you'll be fucking Dustin Lance Black.

Tom Daley: Ding Dong Wedding Bells Are Going To Chime

Something tells me this may not happen.

Dustin Lance Black: Hospitalised

Sorry for the silence. Seems too much travel, work and excitement has landed me in this fine predicament. 🤒 pic.twitter.com/62e1UACcXU

Well, this is a little bit intriguing, to say the least.

My guess is that Tom... no, it would be wrong to speculate.

Tom Daley: Just Because

A Christian advocacy group has sparked outrage by suggesting Tom Daley's disappointing Olympic performance was due to his sexuality.

Christian Voice, which bills itself as a "lobby group praying for national repentance" took to Twitter after the Plymouth diver failed to qualify for the final of the men's 10 metre diving contest.

The group said: "Turning gay doesn't seem to have done Tom Daley any favours at Rio 2016."

They later added: "And we need to remember that Tom Daley only went gay because he was seduced by an older man."

Plymouth Herald.

Christian Voice is not a 'group' - it's one man, Stephen Green.

Update: Ian Dale confronts the cunty Green on LBC.

Sam Smith: Even If This Isn't The Case

He should be bathing in Oscar glory right now, but instead Sam Smith has woken up to a huge backlash after suggesting he might be the first openly gay man to win an Academy Award.

He’s since followed that up by asserting – wrongly – that he is the second.

Picking up his Oscar for Best Original Song for Bond theme Writing’s On The Wall, Smith said: "I read an article a few months ago by Sir Ian McKellan and he said that no openly gay man had ever won an Oscar.

“If this is the case – even if it isn't the case – I want to dedicate this to the LGBT community all around the world."

What McKellen had actually said, in an interview in January, was that no openly gay man had ever won Best Actor.

While Smith’s heart might have been in the right place, social media is an unforgiving world.

The singer was quickly slapped down by those watching the awards on Twitter, who posted pictures of previous openly gay Oscar winners.

Among them was Dustin Lance Black, winner of Best Screenplay for Milk in 2009, who didn’t hold back.

The screenwriter, who is engaged to British diver Tom Daley, tweeted a clip his own Oscar acceptance speech, and said: “Hey @SamSmithWorld, if you have no idea who I am, it may be time to stop texting my fiancé. Here's a start.” ...

Smith is not the first or second openly gay man to win an Oscar. He’s not even the first or second to win best original song.

Stephen Sondheim and Elton John both picked up the same award, in 1990 and 1994 respectively.

Disney lyricist Howard Ashman, who died of AIDS in 1991 at the age of 40, won two – for Under The Sea from the Little Mermaid in 1989 and a posthumous honour for Beauty and The Beast.

If we’re talking about people and not just men, then singer songwriter Melissa Etheridge also won for Best Original Song in 2007 for I Need to Wake Up from An Inconvenient Truth.

Outside of his own category, Linda Hunt, Sir John Gielgud, John Schlesinger, Scott Rudin, Bill Condon and Alan Ball are all Oscar recipients.

But the list is not exhaustive and it is perhaps unfortunate that the crux of what Smith was trying to say will get lost amid the outrage...

The Independent.

Love all the journalists getting on their high horses about this, when they clearly had to Google who are the other (out?) gay Academy Award winners.

Tom Daley: Yeah, Whatever

Won't last.

Mirror.

Update: Such a big story The Sun et al later followed it up...

When We Rise: Soon

ABC has ordered the gay-rights miniseries “When We Rise” from “Milk” screenwriter Dustin Lance Black, according to media reports.

Gus Van Sant will also serve as executive producer and will direct the first two-hour episode of the eight-hour miniseries, reuniting him with Black after previously directing the 2008 Harvey Milk biopic.

Produced by ABC Studios, “When We Rise” chronicles the personal and political struggles, setbacks and triumphs of a diverse family of LGBT men and women who helped pioneer one of the last legs of the U.S. Civil Rights movement from its turbulent infancy in the 20th century to the once unfathomable successes of today.

The series will tell the history of the gay rights movement, beginning with the Stonewall Riots of 1969. It was originally put into development at ABC in 2013.

Laurence Mark and Bruce Cohen will also serve as executive producers on the miniseries.

The Wrap.

Confirmed by an excited DLB.

But will it be as good as Stonewall The Movie?

Tom Daley Watch: Knitwear Weekly

Olympic diver Tom Daley caused a sensation when he announced via YouTube that he was bisexual...

LOL!

LOL! 

'When I put my number in his phone I put “Call me” with a wink face...'

Possible typo?

From a positively gripping interview with our Tom in The Evening Standard.

Ye gods, she's boring.

PS And here's an innuendo-laden piece from their vaults...

#Tustin Watch: Otherwise Engaged

THE announcement of TOM DALEY’s engagement in The Times may have been low-key, but the party that came after was anything but.

The Olympic ace got an entire camera crew to film it.

I’ve learned the Team GB diver and his fiancé DUSTIN LANCE BLACK recorded scenes for a brand-new ITV docu at last Saturday’s bash. So his 60 guests – including fellow diver CHRIS MEARS, illusionist DERREN BROWN and Tom’s mum Debbie – had to sip tequila cocktails and scoff cake worrying how they might look on screen.

An insider told me: “Tom’s decision to film such a personal celebration indicates reality TV is firmly the path he’s going down. His fanbase is very much the reality TV generation, so it makes sense.” ...

Dan Wootton, The Sun - ie it's probably a load of mis-matched balls. 

Tom & Dustin: Wonderful News!

Because there's no better way of telling people your relationship is on the rocks than saying you're going to get gaymarried. :(

I'll give it til xmas.

Mirror.

Presumably Dustin isn't showing off his ring cause so many people have seen it already...

Tom Daley: Innuendo Bingo

Our Tom understands oblique references to wanking, cumming, bumming and rimming, and says he'd like 'three men inside him'..

I blame the corrupting influence of Dustin Lance Black.

Tom Daley: Exclusive Interview

Hi Tom,

When did you first realise you loved cock.

'Dunno. Maybe 12?'

Did you never look in the mirror and think I'm a big screaming what-not'?

'Yeah,' she giggles coquettishly.

Your boyfriend is so fucking old.

'Yeah,' he laughs again.

Fin.

PS Let us not forget this Guardian article by leading upper class twit, Mark Simpson, saying our Tom is not gay.
