Grin First rule of Tayto Squad: call Tom Tim.

Or Tay. Or Timotay. Or Lulu. Or Larry. Or SoS shenanigans.

It's nearly Emmy time!
Go Tim 🎉🎉🎉

Yes, i think it's just acting too. To be honest, I have a feeling some of them don't really care if people on the internet know they are Gay and have someone bearding for them. They know that most people in the West won't care, hopefully, but the Chinese and Far Eastern market is massive, and they are scared their marketability as leading men will be damaged there. Added to that, Bradley, Leo and Cristiano Ronaldo and Tim are very close to their Catholic mothers, so may want to pretend to be straight to them.

raisedbyguineapigs · 18/09/2016 16:17

if I was 20 years younger, an aspiring actress and a size 4 or something, id do it in a shot. I doubt you'd have to go anywhere near the Crown Jewels, you'd just have to do some kissing every time a pap was around, get wined and dined and go to the nicest places. Better than waitressing in between auditions while you live with 6 flatmates in the grottiest part of LA!

Whentheshipgoesdown · 18/09/2016 16:40

With Cristiano I get it - there has never been an out football with any sort of profile and while it seems to be screamingly obvious actually he probably is protecting himself to an extent. And I sort-of-get why it's considered career-limiting to be an out actor, much as it shouldn't be, and articles always point to Rupert Everett who's lack of success is, in my view, down to him being a bit shit not him being gay. Why precisely SiCo wants to make out that he and everyone he's ever met is straight is more baffling.

raisedbyguineapigs · 18/09/2016 17:05

Yes, I've heard that Rupert Everett is a bit of a diva and not very pleasant to work with that's why he doesnt get parts. Zachary Quinto is very successful and plays straight parts all the time.

Yes, I dont understand the Sico business, unless he is actually straight!!!

KimmySchmidtsSmile · 18/09/2016 23:01

Evening! I might be watching the red carpet live stream and I might be looking for Tim I HAVE NO SHAME
Will let you know when I spot him. Link to vacuous fashionistas commentating here. One sounds like Trinny.

Only one Emmy for The Night Manager: went to director Susanne Bier.
Hugh, Olivia and Tim all missed out. Ah well.
Bendydick wasn't there (Sherlock won one) nor did I see Idris. Hoping Tim chatted to his lovely colleagues and wasn't too lonely.
Later taters x

Thanks for the live updates Kimmy! Shame our Tim didn't win owt.

I would like to submit my CV to be a beard please. I'm not having a baby for SiCo though and Tom Cruise can base jump off a sofa before I pretend to be his girl. Harry Styles is a bit young but I'd cougar for the right price and a Caribbean yachting holiday

Whentheshipgoesdown · 19/09/2016 09:18

Great liveblog kimmy but I am feeling all deflated. Tay probably feels properly vindicated. Hope Tim is off getting properly wankered with LuLu, quoting Henry IV and hissing about snakes.

APlaceOnTheCouch · 19/09/2016 09:24

Kimmy Star for dedication to celeb goss. I am very impressed you stayed awake to watch the Emmys.
Sad for Tim - losing TayTay and an Emmy all in the same month. Sad days.
But I'm very happy for the OJ Simpson team. I thought they deserved all the awards and I felt a bit teary when I heard Sarah Paulson's public apology to Marcia Clark. (Although it was one of those moments where I thought I was completely out of touch with public opinion because when the OJ trial unfolded in RL, I felt so inspired by Marcia. It was a woman in a high profile case! so I didn't understand all the hate).

raisedbyguineapigs · 19/09/2016 10:02

Oh no! What a waste the whole Tayto thing was! for him I mean, it was worth its weight in comedy gold for the rest of us

Thisismadness · 19/09/2016 10:44

Just seen on Twitter that Tim was getting 'flirty' with Priiyanka Chopra at the Emmys. She's very beautiful but looks like she would eat him alive! I think she's a bit out of his league sadly. And also not Luke!

FrayedHem · 19/09/2016 11:00

I don't know anything about Priiyanka Chopra, but she is gorgeous at it would be hard not to try and flirt.

Tim was never a serious contender for the Emmys but I think the non-TayTay publicity was a great lifeline to claw back a bit of his shredded reputation.

He did so deserve a special award for the Summer of Love World Tour; maybe Heat magazine could rustle something up for him and TayTay?
#Summer Dreams, ripped at the seams ah uh, those summer Ni-ight Manager#

APlaceOnTheCouch · 19/09/2016 11:05

Maybe he could get an MBE for Dedication to Entertaining the Nation During the Summer of Doom ?

FrayedHem · 19/09/2016 11:48

He deserves on. He needs one. Benedict (CBE), Eddie and Idris( both OBE) and then there's poor Tim. He must feel inadequate when they get together and he has to make do with one his mummy and her nice WI friends made Sad

Life is just so grey without TayTo.

KimmySchmidtsSmile · 19/09/2016 12:21

Have now recovered from my Emmy watching (not working today thank God). Award shows are my guilty pleasure.
Rami won for Mr Robot. That pleased me even though he sounded out of it. John Oliver beat James Corden and the Jimmys. As Jimmy K was hosting, we got the obligatory Matt Damon appearance for a short roasting.
Sharon Horgan lost out for writing and sank her head into whatshisface's lap. (Also wore red, Posh spice design doncha know). Jay Z threw his arms up when Bey lost. Here's Matt Damon....

There's an after party? Grin

APlaceOnTheCouch · 19/09/2016 17:17

Kimmy I used to love watching award shows pre-DC. I love the clothes, the glamour, the insincere congratulations and posed 'loser-faces'.

I don't like Jimmy K but I don't know why . . .

Ooh! Thanks. Felicity Huffman looked fab and I secretly liked Sarah Paulson's Christmas tree sparkle dress Blush

Freshprincess · 19/09/2016 21:29

KImmy, well done for your commitment to the cause! I tried to watch the osxars once but fell asleep before the famous people were on the red carpet. Poor old Tim, no Emmy, no gf, no credibility. The actress he's not getting flirty with is gorgeous.

Love pics of the posh frocks though. and thanks goodness Ariel Winter hasn't got her tits out for a change.

Whentheshipgoesdown · 20/09/2016 20:11

What the bejiminy? Brangelina are getting divorced. Brad is SO unlucky in love. First Sinitta, then Jen, now Angie. Just can't keep a good one.
