Timothee Chalamet Has Spent SAG-AFTRA Strike with Kylie Jenner: Will It Last After AMPTP … on September 13, 2023 at 11:09 pm The Hollywood Gossip

After Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet were all over each other in a very public way at multiple venues, they’re no longer hiding.

Sure, they’re not talking about it in interviews or filming their romance for The Kardashians. But it seems serious.

A new report says that this summer’s historic strikes in the entertainment industry have given Timmy time to “focus” upon Kylie.

But some fans worry that, once these entertainment behemoths finally agree to fairly pay the people who create TV and film, he’ll all but ghost her.

The US Sun spoke to a Hollywood insider familiar with Timothee Chalamet, a heartthrob and actor who is usually in high demand.

“The strikes have forced him to not work,” the insider pointed out.

“And,” the source continued, Timothee now has to “actually have a personal life and a social life.”

“This relationship has turned his world upside down,” the insider characterized.

“And,” the source added, “he’s having the time of his life.”

That’s no small praise for Kylie. Timothee has dated legendary hotties from within his industry before. Kylie is definitely very different, however.

Though Kylie has certainly appeared in music videos and has spent a significant portion of her life on screen, she’s not an actor. Not in the same sense that Timmy is.

She is immensely wealthy. She is an influencer. And she lives a lifestyle that is out of reach for even most nepo babies in the entertainment industry. At least, those in their twenties.

So we have no doubt that Timothee is having some unique experiences. But … how long will this last?

The WGA has been striking since spring

On May 2, the Writer’s Guilt of America began a strike over abhorrent tactics that industry giants have used to underpay writers.

Shrinking writers rooms, truncated seasons, vanishing residuals, tactically canceled shows, and the looming threat of AI were all priorities in negotiations.

But out-of-touch mega-millionaires in charge of Disney, Netflix, Warner Bros Discovery, and more refused to make any kind of reasonable deal. So, the WGA went on strike.

On July 14, SAG-AFTRA entered the chat

Obviously, Timmy isn’t a writer. But these major studios decided to double down on attempting to crush the creative talents that have enriched them all along.

Actors brought up many of these same concerns — dirty tactics that streamers use to underpay them, unsafe working conditions, and horrific implementation of AI. Once again, the AMPTP (representing these huge corporate streamers) refused to be reasonable.

So, for the first time in generations, SAG-AFTRA went on strike at the same time as the WGA. The results have ground the entertainment industry to a halt.

The Emmy Awards have been postponed by almost four months, organizers said Thursday, as crippling strikes by Hollywood’s actors and writers drag on with no resolution in sight. (Getty)

Now, the heads of these companies have not exactly been shy about their goal.

Once actors and writers are losing their homes by the thousands and unable to feed themselves and their families, the hope is that they’ll come crawling back for whatever spiteful crumbs the AMPTP offers.

Massive community funds to help keep writers and actors afloat during strikes are doing important work. Hopefully, eventually, the AMPTP will negotiate in good faith. And lose hundreds of millions in the mean time for no good reason.

Most actors make fairly normal wages and have to take other jobs to make ends meet

Obviously, Timothee is not really in the same boat as the vast majority of actors. He’s not Kylie’s sugar baby during the strikes. Timmy’s net worth is in the tens of millions.

But while most of the striking actors are people who play joggers and corpses on police procedurals and don’t make more than your average teacher, Timothee can’t work right now. Except for indie studios that strike fair deals.

So obviously, spending this time with Kylie has been a great time for him.

When it’s over

But, sooner or later, even industry villains like notorious WBD head David Zaslav will get tired of losing massive amounts of money for seemingly no reason other than spite.

At that time, whether it’s next week — or, as some fear, as late as February — the strikes will come to an end.

Timothee will go back to promoting films (like Wonka and Dune 2) and filming new projects.

We’re not sure if Kylie Jenner’s look screams “cottagecore” as some of her followers have declared, but this certainly looks like a cozy, yet sunny, picnic. (Instagram)

What will that mean for Kylie?

Some of her fans fear that Timothee is (perhaps subconsciously) using her as a welcome distraction. Oh, he’s having a good time, for sure. But will it last?

Others say that Kylothee is more serious than that. The strikes will end, but that doesn’t have to mean a breakup for these two hotties.

The Real Housewives of Orange County stars have expensive taste — and a hunger for drama — and with Us Weekly’s help fans can also channel their inner Housewife.

In this week’s “VIP Scene,” Us Weekly is breaking down the RHOC cast’s go-to hot spots while staying local. First up: The Quiet Woman!

The Corona Del Mar, California, eatery is one of the most-frequented restaurants in the show’s history. In addition to being “classically cool since 1965,” The Quiet Woman was the infamous location for Shannon Beador and Kelly Dodd’s blowout fight on season 12.

“F—k you. Read between these lines you f—king bitch,” Shannon, 59, screamed at Kelly, 48, during the heated exchange. “Get the f—k out of here.”

The awkward encounter resulted in all the Housewives leaving the upscale location in shame — but that hasn’t stopped Shannon from dining there now.

“As far as restaurants go, of course we’re going to say The Quiet Woman,” Shannon exclusively told Us in September when asked about her “favorite” local food stop.

Nicki Minaj and Rihanna are self-proclaimed Real Housewives superfans — and they’re not alone.

Several cast […]

Pal Vicki Gunvalson agreed before adding in R&D Kitchen and Gulfstream both in the Newport Beach area.

Gina Kirschenheiter picked San Juan Capistrano’s Five Vines Wine Bar — located not far from the famous Mission San Juan Capistrano — as her top restaurant in the area.

“I love Five Vines. That is my total jam. It’s also mine and Travis [Mullen]‘s date spot,” Gina, 39, exclusively revealed to Us. “This is a good plug too because it’s a wine bar and I am sober, but it’s so much more than a wine bar.”

If you’d rather be shopping than chowing down in Orange County, Vicki, 61, told Us that Alice + Olivia at Newport’s Fashion Island is a must.

“We shop at the same stores,” Vicki explained, referring to her and Shannon. The women noted that Neiman Marcus is also one of their go-to spots.

Vicki added: “There’s not that many stores in Orange County, especially in the Newport Beach area. So we tend to all shop at the same places.”

Sharna Burgess is opening up about experiencing mom guilt.

The former Dancing with the Stars pro, 38, took to social media on Tuesday, October 3, to candidly share her feelings about leaving her son while heading off for a tropical getaway. Posting a picture via her Instagram Story of her suitcase at the airport, she added text overlay that read: “New emotional experience unlocked.”

“I’m headed to Cabo for a girls trip that has been over a year in the making,” she wrote. “The timing sucks.”

Burgess shares son Zane, 2, with fiancé Brian Austin Green. She noted that while her toddler is “already on the mend from “HF&M,” the “mom guilt for leaving is unreal.”

Brian Austin Green’s brood! The actor is expecting his first child with Sharna Burgess after previously welcoming children with exes Vanessa Marcil and Megan Fox. Us Weekly confirmed the Dancing With the Stars pro’s pregnancy news in February 2022. The reveal came one year after the pair debuted their relationship. Despite the Aussie’s close bond […]

“I was going to back out but Bri so beautifully reminded me that I need and deserve these few days,” she said. “I’m so lucky I have a man that supports and sees me AND that I fully trust in knowing the house kids and life all keep flowing as normal even if I’m away.”

She concluded: “Everyone is ok. I’m ok…ish. And this will be fun.”

Burgess was first spotted with the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum, 50, in December 2020. The pair went on to dance together on Dancing with the Stars season 30, which Burgess called a “disadvantage” when speaking exclusively to Us Weekly in 2021, noting they have a “sensitivity when minding each other’s feelings.”

The pair welcomed their first child together — and Green’s fifth — in June 2022. In September, Burgess revealed the twosome were engaged after three years of dating. (Green shares son Kassius, 21, with ex Vanessa Marcil, and sons Noah, 10, Bodhi, 9, and Journey, 7 with ex-wife Megan Fox.)

While Burgess and Green are headed toward forever now, children have always been at the forefront of the professional dancer’s mind. In September, she shared exclusively with Us that it would have been a deal breaker with Green if he didn’t want to expand his brood.

“When it came to the kid conversation, I said early on to Bri if he was even interested in having more kids, because he has such a full beautiful group of kids,” she said. “I knew that I could really fall in love with him, and I had to stop right now if that wasn’t going to be on the cards.”

Burgess continued: “We did have that conversation early in our dating history, and he did say that he was open to it, so I knew that it could be forever. … I never prepared for it not to work.”

Joy Behar Jokes that Barbara Walters Had a ‘Porn’ Smile on October 3, 2023 at 11:10 pm Us Weekly

Joy Behar remembered her former The View cohost Barbara Walters by cracking an awkward — and NSFW — joke.

Behar, 80, poked fun at the late broadcaster’s signature smile on the daytime talk show’s Tuesday, October 3, episode. After Behar brought up Walters during an interview with Geri Halliwell, the Spice Girls singer recalled a lesson she learned from the anchor.

“[Barbara] said I have a camera smile that she uses. And I always still use this piece of advice. She says — you know sometimes how you feel a bit stiff? … You look into the camera, you go, “[Sigh],” and you get the right kind of smile. That’s the Barbara smile,” Halliwell, 51, told her cohosts.

Behar backed up Halliwell’s comments, adding, “Every time [Barbara] took a photograph, it was like, “[Sigh].” Noting that a person’s mouth has to be “slightly open” in order to nail the smile, Behar went on to joke, “Well, those are from her porn days.”

Paying their respects. The View brought together former and current cohosts to celebrate the life of Barbara Walters. “People have been talking about her on all of the shows, but we knew her better than anyone. We had dinners with her, we hung out with her and we fooled around with her,” Joy Behar shared […]

Sparking a shocked reaction from the show’s audience, Behar clarified, “No, I’m kidding. I’m kidding. They know it’s a joke.”

Cohost Sara Haines proceeded to change the topic by stating, “OK, now let’s move on.”

Despite the NSFW joke, Behar has shared several kind words about Walters following her death at the age of 93 in December 2022. “Barbara Walters passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by loved ones,” Walters’ rep, Cindi Berger, confirmed to Us Weekly at the time. “She lived her life with no regrets. She was a trailblazer not only for female journalists, but for all women.”

A television icon. Barbara Walters spent six decades as a hard-hitting journalist — interviewing everyone from controversial political leaders to some of the world’s most high-profile stars — prior to her retirement in 2014. Walters kicked off her career in the 1960s on the Today show, where she went from working behind the scenes as […]

The View honored Walters with a special tribute episode the following month, during which Behar called her former colleague “the original role model” for female broadcasters.

“People have been talking about her on all of the shows, but we knew her better than anyone. We had dinners with her, we hung out with her and we fooled around with her,” she said during the show’s January 3 episode. “The thing about her is she very much defied sexism and she defied ageism. She was not just a friend to us; she was one of a kind and very important to the industry.”

Behar and Walters were both part of The View’s original 1997 cast, in addition to Meredith Vieira, Star Jones and Debbie Matenopoulos. Behar briefly left the series in 2013 before returning two years later, a decision she claimed was not made on her own accord.

“I’ve been on this show for 26 years, right?” she said during a May episode of the series. “With a small hiatus as we all know — forced.” At the time of her 2013 exit, it was reported that Behar left of her own volition, after which she revealed she was actually let go by the network.

That same year, Behar claimed that Walters once tried to get her fired from The View after she leaked news that Rosie O’Donnell would be joining the cast. She recalled a phone call she received from Walters on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno in 2013, who allegedly told her, “’Hello, Joy? It’s Barbara. And I just want you to know I’m not renewing your contract.’”

Although she apologized, Behar claimed Walters put her foot down, saying, “’It was a big mistake! I’m not renewing your contract!’”
