Why Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet Are a Terrible Match

So here is possibly an unpopular opinion—I am not a fan of Kylie Jenner. In my humble opinion, she has limited talent, embraces the fake beauty culture, shows little respect, and frankly became famous literally off the back of her older sister, Kim Kardashian‘s sex tape with Ray J. In 2020, she was stripped of her Forbes’ Youngest Billionaire title as documents showed her web of lies. Along with her work life, Kylie’s personal life has seen many ups and downs. 

From Tyga to Travis Scott, Kylie has left a pile of emotional baggage behind her. Two kids in, and she now seems to be looking for a more stable partner. Recently, Kylie has been romantically linked to actor Timothée Chalamet, and the two have been seen getting cozy at multiple events. Fans are waiting on bated breath to see how far this relationship goes or if it will crash and burn like the others. 

Scheduling Love

Call me a romantic, but I am hopeful that the two will work out. Both are successful in their own right. Kylie has her own makeup brand, while Timothée has found success in the acting realm. Thanks to a few breakout roles in Call Me By Your Name and Ladybird, Timothée has not only been on moviegoers’ radars but also on the list of datable men in Tinsel Town. But with Wonka coming up and press appearances to keep, many wonder if the two love birds will have time for one another. 

Kylie is a mother of two, a businesswoman, and still in contract to film the family show, The Kardashians. Balancing all those commitments could be a strain on their budding relationship. Timothée also lives in New York City, while Kylie’s home is in Los Angeles. There would have to be a lot of travel between the two to meet up for date night. 

Both Have Pasts

Timothée is no stranger to waking up to a pretty face. Before being linked to Kylie back in April, the actor dated Lily-Rose Depp, Eiza Gonzalez, and Lourdes Leon. The daughter of Madonna attended the same New York high school as Timothée in 2013, and even though the relationship was short-lived, both seem to hold mutual respect for one another. In 2018, he was linked to Lily-Rose, but again their romance was shortlived. 

Kylie’s first real relationship started at the age of 17 when she met Tyga while he was engaged to Blac Chyna in 2014. Only days later, Tyga called off his wedding in a shocking twist. Tyga often gifted Kylie luxury items, but the two just couldn’t make it work. Kylie’s next significant relationship wouldn’t come until she met Travis in 2018. The two had a whirlwind love story that again ended after years of on-and-off dating. 

Private vs. Public

Kylie and Timothée seem to live very different lifestyles, as Kylie is more public while the actor prefers to keep his personal life on the down low. Timothée has often mentioned in interviews that he feels intensely judged due to the pressures of social media.

While chatting with W Magazine, the actor noted how the word “date” scared him, saying, “Date is very much a scary word because then that context has been established. You can always see people on early date behavior.” But the Wonka actor may really be a romantic as he later told Vogue Paris, “When you love, love wholly. Love unabashedly.”

On more than one occasion, Kylie has made it clear that she is a mother above all things. While this is a lovely mantra, the line of thinking could upset a man who is trying to woo Kylie. Putting the children first could mean less quality time with Timothée, which could range from canceled date nights to lack of affection. Even though Timothée doesn’t strike us as the jealous type, any person ignored in a relationship would eventually be upset by being constantly put on the back burner.

Sadly, we don’t see this relationship working out. Timothée actually comes across as sweet and genuine, but if the Kardashian clan ever got their hands on him, that could all change. Unlike King Midas, when it comes to relationships, everything that family touches definitely doesn’t turn to gold. So run Timothée and run far.

Which Real Housewives Are Most Likely to Win The Traitors Season 2?

Brandi Glanville was the only cast member from the Real Housewives franchise to star on The Traitors Season 1. Following several chaotic years on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Brandi was labeled a pot-stirrer, or better yet, a traitor.

From Seasons 2-5, Brandi spilled the tea and stirred the pot amongst her Real Housewives co-stars. In Season 3, Brandi revealed that Adrienne Maloof had used a surrogate to carry her twin sons. Then, Brandi, who wasn’t even on Season 10, used her lips to create one of this season’s most dramatic storylines. Here, she let it slip that she and Denise Richards had shared a steamy tryst, which Denise vehemently denied.

There’s no denying that Brandi wasn’t always a solid friend to those on her cast. Moving past Real Housewives, Brandi’s behaviors again veered towards the chaotic while starring on The Traitors Season 1. Here, she was banished by Episode 4. Even though Brandi was sneaky, she again failed to play nice with her co-stars, who therefore voted her out.

The Traitors Season 2 will air in 2024. In this second showing, four Real Housewives stars will now be seen. All four of these chosen personalities have a few character traits in common. To explain, they’re all outspoken, they’re all messy, and they’re all hard to trust.

Larsa Pippen, Phaedra Parks, Shereé Whitfield, and Tamra Judge each have their work cut out for them, as they navigate the playing fields on The Traitors. Amongst these personalities, we think that only one has what it takes to go the distance. In order of how long we predict each will last, these are the Real Housewives most likely to win The Traitors Season 2.

Phaedra Parks – We Think You’re Out First

The Throwback Queen/YouTube

Phaedra last appearance on the Real Housewives of Atlanta was at the Season 9 reunion. During this multi-episode recap, Phaedra was exposed as being the source of a vicious lie. In this lie, Kandi Burruss and her husband, Todd Tucker, were accused of conspiring to drug and rape Porsha Williams. Porsha brought this hideous allegation to Kandi, who vehemently denied the serious claim.

When placed in the hot seat during part 4 of the reunion, Phaedra’s lies quickly unraveled. First, Kandi and Todd faced off with Porsha, who then passed the blame on to Phaedra. When Porsha claimed that she was told about this rumor by Phaedra, Phaedra’s face gave away the truth almost immediately. From quickened blinking to frozen stares to explanations that made zero sense, Phaedra was busted.

In the game of The Traitors, poker faces are essential. Contestants are either labeled as a Faithful, or, they are secretly chosen to be a Traitor. In order to see themselves out of the hot seat(s), these contestants must be able to quickly spin a believable lie, with a straight, convincing face. As was seen on Bravo, Phaedra is prone to failing in both of these departments, so we think that she’ll be one of the first Real Housewives stars eliminated from The Traitors Season 2 castle.

Tamra Judge – You’re Not Likely To Last Long Either

Bravo/YouTube

Tamra has a huge personality, which has seen her being both loved and loathed on Real Housewives of Orange County. We all know that Tamra likes to speak her truth, and that she has loudly yelled “that’s my opinion!” when faced with any backlash. In order to be successful on the Traitors, however, Tamra would have to take a completely different route. On this, frankly, we aren’t sure that Tamra has what it takes to survive.

To avoid early eliminations, contestants have to win the respect of their co-stars. This means that feathers cannot be ruffled, friendships must be forged, and trust must be obtained. As Tamra is known for calling out everyone, close friends included, we don’t think that she’ll be able to remain on the cast of the Traitors Season 2 long enough to take home a win.

Shereé Whitfield – Whose Gonna Check Her, Boo?

Shereé, in our humble opinions, will go far on The Traitors Season 2. Sure, she’s a horrible liar, and she’s typically on the wrong side of her cast’s many arguments. However, she’s also created several iconic, fun scenes, and we all know that “chateau she-don’t-pay!” wants a win.

As her friendships with her co-stars has been splotchy, at best, Shereé will have to work smart to make it all the way to the end. If she plays the game well, we do believe that she’ll be able to slide under the radar much better than that of Phaedra and Tamra. To that end, we think that Shereé will last for awhile on The Traitors Season 2.

Larsa Pippen – With A Built-In Alliance, Miami Could Take It

Larsa Pippen/Instagram

Larsa has often been a polarizing cast member on Real Housewives of Miami. That said, she is entering the cast of The Traitors with a built-in alliance already secured, which none of the other Real Housewives stars can claim. You see, also on this chosen cast is Marcus Jordan, who Larsa has been dating since late 2022.

Alliances are everything in this competition. With Marcus by her side, vouching for her innocence in any dirty schemes that might transpire, Larsa’s longevity on this series has an actual fighting chance. For this reason alone, we think that Larsa will be the last Real Housewives star left standing on The Traitors Season 2.

Katie Maloney on ‘Struggles’ Opening Sandwich Shop With Ariana Madix

Something About Her is still sitting dormant, as fans eagerly await the chance to eat gourmet sandwiches and perhaps catch a sight of the sandwich shop’s famous owners. Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney had delayed their opening again due to permit issues. And the feeling must be frustrating for all involved.

The Vanderpump Rules duo went into the project organized, well-advised, and timely. Some of their efforts were filmed for the latest season. They consulted with Lisa Vanderpump, perfected the products, and hosted tasting events. Yet now, circumstances outside of their control keep delaying the opening.

“It’s not there yet,” Katie said of opening

In an aptly titled podcast, Katie detailed the struggles of opening a business. The Vanderpump Rules OG star joined Violet Benson on the Almost Adulting podcast on September 21.

Katie was asked when the new opening date was.

“It’s usually sometime in the beginning of the year,” Katie replied.

Her host then asked Tom Schwartz’s ex-wife what the “hardest thing” about opening her store was. Katie gave a detailed answer.

“This is something that neither myself or Ariana had done before, so the whole thing was a learning curve, and we really wanted to learn each step of the process, and we worked with consultants to begin with, which was great,” she said. “You learn the whole investment process, which was like another language, and then just learn the budgeting of it all. Not going to business school, it’s really difficult to understand the numbers and how it all breaks down over time. Where do you even begin? You’re standing there looking up at this giant mountain and you’re like, ‘Where do I begin?’ It can be very overwhelming.”

Another challenging aspect are the endless question of when the store will open. At this point, Ariana and Katie have had to delay at least twice. She admits that disappointing fans is difficult.

“I know people are excited and they want to come and I know they mean well and they are excited and I know why they’re asking and it makes me excited in that there’s interest there so of course I love that people are asking but it’s like I don’t have an answer. It is stressful because it’s a reminder to me that it’s not there yet, she explained.

No official opening date

Right now, there is no concrete date. Or perhaps Katie doesn’t want to set up fans for another disappointment. She gave answers like, “soon” and “this year sometime” when asked what the new timeline was.

On a personal note, the Vanderpump Rules star has been feeling “anxious” and “stressed.”

“I feel like there’s a lot of pressure right now,” she admitted. “Trying to open up a business is no joke. So much is not up to you. If it was all up to me and I could snap my fingers and make it all happen, I would. There’s just so many hoops to jump through and things just feel, like, impossible at times, and so many things that you can’t foresee and you can only prepare for so much. We were definitely prepared for there to be obstacles and difficult times and for it not to go according to plan. But there are so many things you can’t prepare for. Once you get to it, you’re like, ‘What do I do?’ And you feel helpless at times. You just feel stuck. You don’t know how to get yourself past it.”

“You just gotta like remain hopefully I guess and trust the process and trust that the universe is gonna have your back,” Katie concluded.

Hopefully the pair can get Something About Her open soon!

Sister Wives’ Robyn Brown Defended by Friend: ‘Not a Homewrecker’

Looks like Robyn Brown has friends in her corner. The 44-year-old Sister Wives star has faced a lot of backlash on social media following rumors she “plotted” to break up Kody Brown’s marriages with Meri Brown, 52, Janelle Brown, 54, and Christine Brown, 51.

Robyn’s friend, Kendra Pollard, spoke out. She has appeared on several episodes of the TLC hit show, debunked that narrative as “100% false” and frankly unfair to her friend.

Setting the record straight

According to OK, she said “I want to set the record straight on the fact that everybody is convinced that Kody actually planned to bring Robyn in to ruin his marriage. None of that is true.”

She added that Robyn’s arrival and subsequent relationship with the Brown patriarch was not a “premeditated plan.” In fact, Robyn came into the picture through Meri, according to Kendra. Meri introduced Robyn to Kody and the family.

Kendra also pointed out that Kody wasn’t even initially interested in Robyn because she was divorced with kids. He eventually overcame this during their relationship and married her in 2010.

Kendra made sure to add that it wasn’t even until Kody and Robyn were engaged that he started having private outings with her. Well, as private as they can be with a film crew in tow.

“Robyn is not a homewrecker, and their marriage was not premeditated,” she asserted.

Trouble in paradise

Kendra also didn’t appreciate that everyone seemed to believe everything would be fine if not for Robyn when the truth is Kody had issues with all his wives. “They are portraying Robyn as a selfish person who demanded all of Kody, but the truth is Kody had a very rigid schedule, and it rarely changed.”

For Kendra, it was clear that Kody and Meri and Kody and Christine had problems already. They had little or nothing to do with Robyn. She just became a catalyst for the issues that were already there. 

“To sit here and blame Robyn when she’s not even present in their homes that she’s the cause of the breakups is completely false,” Kendra said. 

If anything, Robyn became a sounding board for Kody’s miseries as, according to Kendra, he pleaded with her constantly to help him fix his issues with Meri and Christine.

Ultimately, everything is public and is often open to interpretation, which could go either way. What’s clear, though, is that everyone needs a friend like Kendra to have their back.

TELL US – DO YOU THINK ROBYN WAS TO BLAME FOR KODY’S FAILED MARRIAGES? OR DO YOU THINK THAT THEY WERE ALREADY DYSFUNCTIONAL TO BEGIN WITH?

Jamie Lynn Spears Faces Trolling After Dancing with the Stars Debut

Jamie Lynn Spears is still feeling the fallout of her feud with big sis Britney Spears. As she made her Dancing with the Stars debut, Brit’s fans came in hard with the hate. Sadly, her professional dance partner is getting caught in the crossfire.

I mean, this can’t come as a surprise. I know Jamie Lynn came into the show knowing that something like this was going to happen. 

Right now, it’s ground zero on social media for her and her pro partner Alan Bersten, who sadly did nothing wrong but dance with Jamie Lynn.

Review bomb

After Jamie Lynn made her DWTS debut, the review bombs flooded in from the legion of Britney fans. People are calling for her to be voted out ASAP and ripping into her for supposedly having no class and doing her sister dirty.

Some choice comments included, “Her signature move is throwing her sister under the bus,” and “Should’ve been called dancing with the stars’ sister this season.” These were just the tip of the iceberg.

As for Alan, the poor guy is caught in the crossfire because he has Jamie Lynn as a partner. That can’t be easy. Comments flooded in that he has no shot at winning this season because of her, and some even said they hope he “drops her” mid-dance. Yikes!

A long season ahead

Britney’s supporters also can’t help but wonder why DWTS would even cast Jamie Lynn at all. But hey, they’re all hate-watching the show to see her, so the ratings boost will probably help.

Naturally, fans would rather see Britney showing off her dance moves than her sister, but that’s not going to happen. The former pop princess is busy sharing her dance moves online whenever she likes (hopefully not with knives!)

Dancing with the Stars continues Tuesdays at 8/7c on ABC and Disney+.

Kim Zolciak Appears Unbothered by Divorce With Red Wine at Marital Home

Kim Zolciak is back home in Atlanta, Georgia, enjoying a nice glass of red wine — Olivia Pope style. The reality star has been away filming a new reality show, which will air on MTV in 2024. But now, she’s back in her (soon-to-be foreclosed?) home and celebrating something. Exactly what, we’re not sure.

In a new photo posted to her Instagram, Kim holds a bottle of red wine and left an interesting caption. “God is so good! Happy to be home,” she wrote. We’re wondering how happy it could be given the many weeks of explosive divorce drama between her and Kroy Biermann. Filming The Surreal Life must have been a great experience.

Even then, it wasn’t just Kim who was ecstatic about her return home. Her oldest daughter, Brielle Biermann, also shared the photo to her story and added her own twist. “Many things to celebrate tonight,” she wrote with the eyeball emojis. 

Kim and Kroy’s Korner

By now, you’ve already heard about the divorce journey between Kim and Kroy. Amid their financial struggles, the Don’t Be Tardy stars filed for divorce and withdrew the motion soon after. But that’s not all; Kroy filed AGAIN — and this time, it seems like the former NFL player is sticking to his guns. 

Based on court documents, Kroy said his marriage to Kim is “irretrievably broken,” and the reality couple has no path forward. But just a few days ago, Kim begged the courts to dismiss Kroy’s filing because they are still having sex. 

If it sounds just like Kim’s first record, Tardy for the Party — a bunch of bullsh*t — that’s because it is. Nobody really knows what’s going on between these two, but whatever it is, the Housewives fandom is completely over it. 

TELL US — DO YOU STILL CARE ABOUT KIM AND KROY’S DIVORCE SAGA? ARE YOU HOPING TO NEVER HEAR FROM THEM AGAIN?
