EVERY WEEKDAY MORNING, DailyEdge.ie rounds up the best of the day’s celebrity dirt from the top to the very bottom.
Celebrity endorsements are big business and it turns out our very own Vogue Williams is one of the world’s leading “celebrity brand ambassadors”. According to Celebrity Intelligence, Vogue Williams was second only to Hailey Baldwin when it came to signing endorsement deals in 2016.
This is literally the top 10:
- Hailey Baldwin
- Vogue Williams
- Kendall Jenner
- Iris Apfel
- Karlie Kloss
- Gigi Hadid
- Bella Hadid
- Stephen Curry
- Emily Ratajkowski
- Ashley Graham
Ahead of the Hadids and Karlie Kloss? Not bad.
So what products does Vogue endorse? Easilocks Hair, Sun Kiss Tan, Very Exclusive, Nandos and Littlewoods are just some of the brands she has plugged on Instagram lately.
Nice work if you can get it.
Our favourite celebrity couple Chris Evans and Jenny Slate have split up. Nooooo.
The pair announced that they were an item last year and quickly became the embodiment of #relationshipgoals. But now it seems that they’ve called it quits after nine months of dating.
E! reported that the break-up was “amicable and recent”.
RIP.
Tom Hiddleston has opened up about his brief fling with Taylor Swift. In an excellent and occasionally embarrassing interview with GQ, Hiddleston did his best to shut down critics who claimed that the relationship was an elaborate ruse.
“Taylor is an amazing woman,” reads the prepared statement Tom Hiddleston has memorized and is now giving me at The Bull & Last, where his voice has gone low. “She’s generous and kind and lovely, and we had the best time.” But I didn’t ask that, I say. I asked something else. So I wait, and he says, “Of course it was real.”
He also opened up about that photo of him wearing the I LOVE TS vest at Swift’s 4th July celebrations.
“The truth is, it was the Fourth of July and a public holiday and we were playing a game and I slipped and hurt my back. And I wanted to protect the graze from the sun and said, ’Does anyone have a T-shirt?’ And one of her friends said, ’I’ve got this.’ ” The friend pulled out the “I ♥ T.S.” tank top that Taylor’s friends are contractually obligated to own. “And we all laughed about it. It was a joke.”
A likely story. (GQ)
