Lisa Maree Williams/Getty Images(NEW YORK) — Timothée Chalamet says he was mortified when paparazzi photos surfaced of him making out with then-girlfriend Lily-Rose Depp on a yacht last year.

In a new cover story with GQ, the Call Me By Your Name actor says he had no idea the private moment would be on display for everyone to see.

“I went to bed that night thinking that was one of the best days of my life,” the 24-year-old tells the mag. “I was on this boat all day with someone I really loved, and closing my eyes, I was like, indisputably, ‘That was great.’”

“And then waking up to all these pictures, and feeling embarrassed, and looking like a real nob? All pale?” he says. “And then people are like: ‘This is a P.R. stunt.’ A P.R. stunt?! Do you think I’d want to look like that in front of all of you?!”

Chalamet and Depp began dating in 2018 after co-starring together in Netflix’s The King. It’s not clear when they split, but Chalamet confirmed to Vogue in April that he was “currently single.”

Chalamet is set to star in the upcoming film Dune and the just-announced Netflix comedy Don’t Look Up. His older sister, Pauline Chalamet, just scored a role in Mindy Kaling’s upcoming HBO Max comedy series, The Sex Lives of College Girls.

Red Table Talk (LOS ANGELES) — Willow Smith and her brother Jaden follow their own set of rules when it comes to expressing themselves.  However, Willow says their self expression came at a steep — and oftentimes difficult — price.

Speaking on her Facebook Watch series Red Table Talk this week, the 19-year-old singer opened up about how their sense of style caused a rift between her and the Black community.

“With the African American community, I kind of felt like me and Jaden were shunned a little bit,” Willow confessed Tuesday.  

She said the message the Black community conveyed to her and her sibling was “We’re not gonna take pride in them because they’re too different.  They’re too weird.”

The “Whip My Hair” singer admitted to her mother Jada Pinkett Smith and grandmother Adrienne Banfield Norris that she felt that some of her family members didn’t embrace her or her brother because they didn’t conform.

Willow’s comments came in response to her mother revealing that she was “hardcore” mom-shamed by the Black community when she was raising her children.  The actress likened mommy shaming to an epidemic.

Detailing the pressure she personally experienced when her children were younger, Jada said it came to a head when Willow, then 11, shaved her head in 2012.  “There was a firestorm,” she sighed.

Jada said the incessant mom shaming grew worse after Jaden began defying gender norms by wearing clothes designed for women, like dresses and high heels.

“When he was wearing a skirt, then he isn’t what people consider your ‘typical Black man,'” the Girls Tripstar lamented. 

Overall, the actress expressed concern that the Black community keeps trying to “create stereotypes around ourselves,” and advocated for parents to allow their children to freely express themselves because, otherwise, “You are doing your kids a disservice.”

Paul Hebert/Walt Disney Television via Getty Images(LOS ANGELES) — Former Bachelorette star Becca Kufrin isn’t taking any chances when it comes to her fertility.

Following her split from fiancé Garrett Yrigoyen, the 30-year-old revealed on her Instagram Story this week that she’s freezing her eggs.

“I think it’s so important as women we know about our bodies and our options,” Kufrin said. “For me, I’m not old but I’m not a spring chicken and I want kids one day but not anytime soon so I figure why not do it now in quarantine.”

She documented her first night of injections on Tuesday to begin the process. She plans to document the whole journey for her followers.

On September 1, Kufrin confirmed she and Yrigoyen had ended their engagement after two years together.
