Timothee Chalamet grew out that gross little ratty mustache last year for a role in Josh Safdie’s Marty Supreme. The film wrapped a while ago, and yet the mustache is still here. I kind of wonder if it’s a superstition? Like, Timothee will not shave that thing until after the awards season? You would think he would be eager to get rid of it, because the mustache has brought a really trashy energy to Timothee’s worldwide promotional tour for A Complete Unknown.

Speaking of, Timothee was in Germany on Valentine’s Day. He premiered A Complete Unknown at the Berlin Film Festival. Timmy wore head-to-toe Chrome Hearts, with Cartier jewelry. Something nice: I enjoy the fact that Timothee is such a fashion guy, and I love that he wore pink for V-Day. Something mean: he looks like a 13-year-old wannabe rapper who goes by White Boy Chalmy. He is OOZING with talent, but seeing his slight figure in a pale pink tank killed whatever attraction I had for him. That being said, I still kind of think he might pull off an “upset” at the Oscars and end up winning Best Actor.

Anyway, it looks like Timothee invited his girlfriend to Germany too, so they could spend V-Day together. Kylie Jenner was also in Paris with him last month, so she enjoys traveling with him and having some time with him in-between premieres and promotional work. Kylie didn’t walk the carpet, but she came into the theater and sat next to Timmy and everyone cheered her arrival.

Last week, Kensington Palace confirmed that Prince William and Kate would skip the BAFTAs, which are happening later today. William is the (honorary) president of BAFTA, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, and by my running count, this will be the eighth time William has skipped the BAFTAs since becoming president in 2010. What makes their absence even more notable is that there was a real effort to hype their appearance in advance, almost like they were originally planned to attend this year. But they’re skipping and no reason was given by their office. Enter the Daily Mail – the Mail ran one smaller piece about how the BBC will be very disappointed not to see them, and now this. The Mail confirming that William and Kate jetted off to Mustique.

As President of Bafta, Prince William might have been expected to join the cream of the showbiz world for the academy’s annual film awards in London. However, the Prince of Wales will be 4,000 miles away, holidaying with his family in the exclusive Caribbean paradise of Mustique, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

Prince William, Kate and their children flew to the privately owned island on Thursday, days after Kensington Palace announced that the couple would not be at the star-studded ceremony at the Royal Festival Hall. Instead, the family will be on their second holiday in as many months following a New Year ski break.

They are all believed to have flown business class on the same British Airways flight – the protocol that heirs to the throne fly separately having been relaxed in recent years.

A source says they flew to Saint Lucia before taking a private flight to Mustique, which was famously the favourite hideaway of the late Princess Margaret as well as a beloved escape for A-list celebrities. The late Queen and Prince Philip also visited in 1966, 1977, and 1985.

It is thought that Kate’s mother Carole Middleton, who also enjoys the privacy the island affords, is there too. She recently celebrated her 70th birthday and it’s thought she had been there for several days before her daughter arrived.

Mustique is owned by a private company and does not allow journalists or photographers to stay.
The island has no hotels and visitors must own a villa there – or have an invitation to stay in one. It has only one bar, Basil’s, where the clientele has included Mick Jagger, Daniel Craig, Noel Gallagher and Kate Moss.

Bafta insiders had originally hoped William and Kate would make a show-stopping joint appearance, marking a glorious return to the red carpet for Kate, 43.

You don’t understand – this is the Mail choosing violence, choosing to call out William and Kate in a big way. “Instead, the family will be on their second holiday in as many months following a New Year ski break.” Woof. This is what the Mail and other outlets should have been doing for years though – William and Kate’s weeks-long absences and months-long absences have gone largely unexplained for years, with few reporters feeling the need to talk about why two forty-somethings refuse to do any work during their kids’ school breaks… and often refuse to do work while the kids are in school, because of the fakakta school run. Anyway, they really need to take the BAFTA presidency away from Work-shy Willy.

Good news, everyone. Elon Musk welcomed another secret baby five months ago. He is now father to thirteen children, His fourth baby-mother just revealed herself and the existence of a 13th Muskrat child. From what I can see, Musk seemingly only spends time with one of his 13 kids – little X, his older son with Grimes. Musk has three children with Grimes: X, Exa Dark and Techno Mechanicus. Musk has six children with his ex-wife Justine, and three children with SpaceX CEO Shivon Zilis – twins in 2021 and then a third kid at some point in early 2024. So who is Musk’s fourth baby-mother? Conservative “writer” Ashley St. Clair.

Elon Musk welcomed his thirteenth child five months ago, according to author Ashley St. Clair. St. Clair posted an announcement to X on Friday, Feb. 14, saying that she and Musk, 53, have a child together.

“Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father. I have not previously disclosed this to protect our child’s privacy and safety, but in recent days it has become clear that tabloid media intends to do so, regardless of the harm it will cause,” read her announcement.

“I intend to allow our child to grow in a normal and safe environment,” said St. Clair. “For that reason, I ask that the media honor our child’s privacy, and refrain from invasive reporting.”

Her post was captioned by the Latin phrase, “Alea Iacta Est,” meaning “The die is cast.”

The author, who has been an outspoken supporter of conservative ideologies, is best known for her children’s book with BRAVE Books, titled Elephants Are Not Birds. “Follow Kevin as he learns that even though he can sing, he is not a bird, even if Culture insists that he is,” according to the book’s synopsis. Additionally, the BRAVE Books site said that they “partner with people of moral integrity, to teach complex Christian and Conservative values.”

[From People]

She writes anti-trans kids’ books and she is apparently against mood stabilizers or medications for mental health issues. She also announced last year that she was going off birth control, and wouldn’t you know, Musk impregnated her soon after. Obviously, none of this was ever about fatherhood or enjoying having children around for Musk. As I said, he barely sees any of his kids other than X, and his adult children f–king despise him. For Musk, this is all about his obsession with birth rates and spreading his “seed” as much as possible. It’s not even about sex, although I’m sure he’s quite disgusting about sex as well. It’s just about babies, and wanting more babies out there in the world, babies which Musk never has to take care of. Also: they’re saying that Ashley announced this on Valentine’s Day because Musk was probably out with another woman. Sure.

If you can believe, this situation got even messier throughout the weekend. Apparently, Musk has not privately or publicly acknowledged his 13th child, and Ashley and her lawyer have been trying to get Musk to sign an “agreement” about the child:

Ashley St. Clair is publicly urging Elon Musk to “finish their agreement” when it comes to co-parenting, just one day after confirming that she welcomed his 13th child five months ago. In a now-deleted reply to Musk, 53, on X on Saturday, Feb. 15, St. Clair, a conservative influencer and children’s book author, wrote that she and her team “have been trying to communicate for the past several days and you have not responded.”

Musk’s X post — which simply stated “Whoa” — was in response to an account which posted a screenshot of an alleged X post from 2020 that showed St. Clair joking about wanting to get “Elon Musk’s attention for a marriage proposal.” St. Clair went on to accuse the other X account of sharing underage photos of her, writing to Musk: “When are you going to reply to us instead of publicly responding to smears from an individual who just posted photos of me in underwear at 15 years old?”

Brian Glicklich, a representative for St. Clair, also shared a statement on X on Saturday, stating that St. Clair and Musk had been “privately working towards the creation of an agreement about raising their child for some time.”

“It is disappointing that a tabloid reporter, who repeatedly ambushed Ashley and her family, made it impossible to complete that process confidentially,” Glicklich wrote. “We are waiting for Elon to publicly acknowledge his parental role with Ashley, to end unwarranted speculation, and Ashley trusts that Elon intends to finish their agreement quickly, in the best interests of the wellbeing and security of the child they share.”

[From People]

Losers all around, my god. Imagine bringing a child into this situation. It also appears that Ashley was trying to get Musk’s attention for years, and now that he got what he wanted (a child he will never see), he’s ignoring her.

The Daily Mail must have paid a small fortune for the exclusive, blurry photos of the Duchess of Sussex exiting a private plane at the Santa Barbara Airport, because the Mail is still trying to gin up some outrage about it. Meghan and Harry reportedly took a private plane to Vancouver, and Meghan left Canada on Tuesday so she could return home to her kids. Per usual, the Daily Mail only cares about plane and helicopter usage when it involves Harry and Meghan. They couldn’t care less when Prince William and Kate use British-taxpayer-funded helicopters as taxis. William has a whole-ass environmental busywork scheme, yet he’s never given a headline like “ECO-WARRIOR FRAUD Prince William takes royal helicopter to Birmingham!” And yet, this is the Mail’s headline: “Meghan Markle’s ‘$30,000 private jet trip’: Eco-preaching duchess flew back to California from Invictus Games on gas-guzzling plane that created six-tonnes of CO2 – and included mystery stopover in Seattle.” Has Meghan ever positioned herself as an environmentalist? Has she ever “eco-preached”? William has definitely “eco-preached.”

Meghan Markle’s private jet trip back from the Invictus Games in Canada could have cost up to $30,000 and created six tonnes of CO2 on the three-hour flight that included a mystery stopover in the US, MailOnline can reveal today. The Duchess of Sussex, 43, has jetted back home to California from Vancouver – without her husband Harry – and the couple are believed to have used the same $9million plane to fly up last week.

The average cost of hiring a jet of that size is between $7,000 to $10,000 per hour meaning that the former Suits star’s flight home could have cost between $21,000 and $30,000.

Meghan and Harry have previously won green awards and were even named environmental ‘role models’ in 2021. But Meghan’s flight will have burned around 800 gallons of fuel and created around 6.6 tonnes of CO2, which weighs the same as a large elephant.

Meghan landed at Santa Barbara Airport at 5.01pm on Tuesday after supporting her husband in Canada at Invictus’ first winter games.

But MailOnline can reveal that the flight logs for the Bombardier CL-600 luxury jet show that it stopped in Seattle for around 30 minutes before taking off again for its final destination. She took off from Vancouver at 2.06pm local time on February 11 and landed over the border in Seattle at 2.40pm. The private jet took off again at 3.14pm and landed in Santa Barbara almost two hours later. The Bombardier CL-600, which can carry up to ten passengers and has a range of over 5,000 miles, includes its own a private crew serving hot meals and drinks.

It also has a large hold for bags and other items, exemplified by the amount of luggage taken out when the Duchess of Sussex landed in California on Tuesday.

MailOnline has asked a spokesman for the Duchess why she used a private plane rather than a commercial flight and the reason for the pitstop in Seattle.

[From The Daily Mail]

Great, now do William and Kate. How did Kate get to the Alps for her post-Christmas ski holiday? Why did William cancel his Army Air Corps event last month, and was it because they wouldn’t let him pull a stunt with one of their expensive machines? Why did King Charles make William sign a waiver because of the Waleses’ excessive helicopter usage? It continues to blow my mind that the Mail is truly trawling through FAA records to track the Sussexes’ private plane usage and they have absolutely no smoke for the left-behind royals’ travel arrangements. And even then, notice how the Mail hasn’t found the ownership of the plane – it’s more than likely that the Sussexes just rented it for these flights, or perhaps one of their wealthy friends let them hitch a ride. Perhaps a Seattle-based friend?

Unsurprisingly, Donald Trump/Elon Musk got the Cabinet they wanted. That’s what happens when voters decide that they not only want to empower white supremacists in the executive branch, but they also want to ensure that the white supremacists have congressional carte blanche to dismantle the government in the most methed-out way possible. The Republican majority in the Senate ensures that even with a few “defectors,” all of Trump’s nominees are getting confirmed. That even goes for nominees whose families have come out to describe the nominees as predators (it’s happened more than once). So, Robert Kennedy Jr. was confirmed by the Senate as the secretary of Health and Human Services. The Polio Era is upon us.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the vaccine skeptic and former presidential candidate who fled his family’s party and threw his “medical freedom” movement behind President Trump, won Senate confirmation as the nation’s health secretary on Thursday and was sworn in hours later during an Oval Office ceremony.

The ceremony, conducted by Justice Neil M. Gorsuch as Mr. Trump looked on, capped a remarkable rise for Mr. Kennedy and a curious twist in American politics. He was confirmed by a Republican Senate, without a single Democratic vote, in a chamber where his father, Robert F. Kennedy, and his uncles, John F. Kennedy and Edward M. Kennedy, all held office as Democrats.

During the ceremony, Mr. Kennedy remarked that he first visited the Oval Office as a child in 1961, the year John F. Kennedy became president. He said Mr. Trump, whose presidential campaign he joined in August after abandoning his own, had been a blessing in his life: “On Aug. 23 of last year, God sent me President Trump.”

Mr. Trump said he intended to sign an executive order establishing the President’s Commission to Make America Healthy Again, named for the moniker Mr. Kennedy has given his movement. Of Mr. Kennedy, he said, “There’s no better person to lead our campaign of historic reforms and historic faith in American health care.”

The Senate vote to confirm Mr. Kennedy, 52 to 48, was almost entirely along party lines. Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, a polio survivor and the former G.O.P. leader, voted no, the lone Republican to oppose Mr. Kennedy. Mr. McConnell issued a searing statement explaining his vote. At the swearing-in ceremony, Mr. Trump criticized Mr. McConnell, calling him a “very bitter guy.”

[From The NY Times]

Kennedy is now in control of HHS, which oversees the FDA, the National Institute of Health and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Kennedy isn’t a “vaccine skeptic” – he is flatly anti-vaccine. While there is an abundance of legitimate concern about how badly Kennedy will f–k up any and all current and future pandemics and vaccine schedules, I would be willing to bet that one of the first things Kennedy does is f–k with the FDA’s long-standing approval of prescription abortion pills. Kennedy openly endorsed Trump’s anti-abortion stances during the campaign.

The Daily Mail has been yanking on Prince William and Kate’s leashes a lot in the past week. The Mail criticized Kate for that stupid “no fashion IDs” briefing, there was an article about how William and Kate partied with shady Gary Goldsmith in Ibiza, and then there was that “most husbands fancy Rose Hanbury” story. How much of this is about the media begging William and Kate to do more and be seen more often? And will these leash-yanking stories continue because William and Kate are skipping this Sunday’s BAFTAs? Well, this might be the first brick thrown – the lead item in the Mail’s Ephraim Hardcastle column, “Is the BBC upset after Bafta president Prince William confirmed that he won’t be attending Sunday’s awards ceremony?”

Much weeping and gnashing of teeth over at the BBC as Bafta president Prince William confirms that he won’t be attending Sunday’s awards ceremony.

Having shelled out for the rights to transmit the event, the Beeb’s hopes that William would be accompanied by Kate in a glamorous new gown have been dashed.

William has attended six of the last eight Baftas. But this year, as half term looms, George, Charlotte and Louis take precedence over the annual luvvie fest.

[From The Daily Mail]

In the past, whenever BAFTA President Peg skipped the BAFTAs, there was a conspiracy of silence about the absence and why William couldn’t be bothered to do his job. He’s skipped a lot of BAFTA ceremonies over the years too – by my count, this year will be the EIGHTH time he’s skipped the BAFTAs since he became president in 2010. That’s half of his presidency, where he just refused to show up for the biggest night of the British Film Academy. He even skipped two years in a row, 2021 and 2022. Anyway, I doubt the BBC is all that agitated, but it certainly seems like the Mail is itching to say something.

For years, the British media has worked in concert with the “British establishment” on a multi-pronged effort to harm the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and ruin their lives in America. I’ve long believed that the ultimate goal is to somehow force Harry and Meghan to divorce, and give Harry no other option than to return to the UK, broke and humbled. These people have so many problems with the Sussexes: the fact that Harry and Meghan have a strong marriage, that they’re thriving in America, that they don’t need the Windsors, that they make their own money, that they can’t be controlled or marginalized, that their kids are growing up as free Americans with American accents. And on and on.

The thing is, while there is a widespread effort to “get Harry back,” it’s much more complicated than that. King Charles would only “welcome” Harry back under certain circumstances, and even then, Charles is desperately afraid of being overshadowed by Harry in general. It’s not just about getting Harry back, it’s about being able to control Harry and keep him as a convenient scapegoat. All of which to say, if Donald Trump “deported” Harry, the circumstances would not be right for Charles, you know? Which might explain this story:

Insiders have revealed the real reason why Donald Trump no longer plans to kick Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle out of the US. The President declared last week that he would not seek to deport the Duke amid an ongoing legal battle over his immigration status, despite having previously suggested he might do so. ‘I don’t want to do that,’ Mr Trump told the New York Post. ‘I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible.’

But, while the President’s swipe at Meghan was in keeping with his previous remarks about the Duchess, it is supposedly not the driving force behind his decision.

Instead the President’s ‘warm relationship’ with King Charles is, according to The Sun, the real reason he dismissed calls for Harry’s deportation. Trump is reportedly aware of the distress it would cause the Royal Family and therefore out of ‘respect’ does not want to take any action.

‘Having him back in the UK is actually harder than having him kept away in the USA,’ a source told the newspaper.

The pair share much in common and struck up a unlikely bond during Trump’s first term, during which he travelled to the UK on a state visit in 2019.

[From The Daily Mail]

I mean… it’s sort of true that if Trump deported Harry, it would come back on Charles in a terrible, image-crushing way. This comment also reveals that Charles just fundamentally doesn’t care about the estrangement with Harry, and he finds it easier to have Harry out of sight and out of mind. Of course, it also sounds like Charles has more power than he actually does in reality – that Charles is the one “keeping Harry away” or that Charles could ask this favor of Trump in either direction. I don’t know. I think Trump’s statement to the Post was just about Trump not ultimately giving a sh-t.

Michael B. Jordan covers the March issue of GQ. He’s promoting his latest movie, Sinners, set in the 1930s Jim Crow South. It’s not exactly a historical drama, they just that as a backdrop for supernatural horror. When the trailer for Sinners came out, people joked that it looked like something Jonathan Majors was originally supposed to do, because Majors was known for enjoying vintage clothing, etc. Majors and Jordan worked together before Majors’ arrest and trial for domestic violence, and Jordan has avoided speaking about Majors publicly in recent years. He broke his silence in this GQ piece, and I found it disappointing as hell. Michael B. Jordan is such a talent, and he’s so smart about his celebrity-branding and his PR, but he really shot himself in the foot with this interview. Some highlights from GQ:

He’s not doing projects for the money: “It’s a lot easier for me to say no [to projects]. Look, if I was only moving for profit, my résumé would look a lot different. It’d have six more projects on there. [Producers] will see you in something and be like, Oh yeah, you would be great for this, because of this. It’s like, You want me to do that, again? That’s sometimes boring for us, you know?”

His history with Jonathan Majors: During the long promo rollout for Creed III, Jordan spoke often of the bond he’d formed with his costar Jonathan Majors, whose next-big-thing energy was surging thanks to another blockbuster opening that year meant to center him as a major character in the MCU. Majors’s rise came to a screeching halt soon thereafter, after an incident with his then girlfriend left him facing trial on misdemeanor assault and harassment charges. When Majors was found guilty of one count of reckless assault in the third degree and a charge of harassment as a violation (he was found not guilty of intentional assault in the third degree and aggravated harassment in the second degree), Marvel and other big studios scuttled their plans for him, and he went from ascendant leading man to pariah.

How he feels about Majors now: Today, sitting on the edge of the pool table, he solemnly recalls that it was a “tough situation” to watch unfold. “But he’s doing great, just got engaged. I’m proud of his resilience and his strength through it all, and [his] handling [of] it. I’m glad he’s good. That’s my boy,” Jordan says. Would you work with him again? “Yes. Yes.”

He’s 38 & still childfree: “Like, my dad had two kids at this age, you know what I’m saying? But you got to realize, the time you do put in, you’re building something solid.” If he had carved out time to build a family of his own by now, I offer, his head-down approach to tackling all things would mean either home or work would end up shortchanged. “And that is my perspective on raising [my stop date] a little bit. Just because I’m competitive, and I know I would want to be the best dad. But right now, I’m trying to do my best at this part [of my life] as well.”

His longest relationship—he doesn’t name names—lasted just over a year. The tone of his voice suggests he wasn’t shocked it didn’t go longer. “I’m not tripping over it. I’m so work focused. I would want somebody to fit into the flow of my life, of where I am. And that’s timing, right? You can meet the right person, and be at the wrong time, and it just doesn’t work out. I think the person that’s going to be right for me lines up with the timing with who she is as a person, where I’m at in my life, how open I am to even…to that, you know?”

[From GQ]

The year-long relationship he references is about Lori Harvey, and despite his attitude right now, she dumped him and he was sort of devastated about it. I don’t think he’s been in a serious relationship since Lori (that ended in 2022). As for what he says about Majors… it f–king sucks. Like, it really changes my view on Jordan, that he watched the Majors situation unfold and all of those stories come out about Majors’ abusive behavior, and he’s like “that’s my boy.” I’m not saying Mike is as bad as Jonathan Majors or anything, but what a horrible way to speak about a man who assaulted a woman until she lost consciousness and has a trail of victims going back to his college days.
