By now you?ve probably seen or heard of those Timothee Chalamet photos getting attention this week. No, I?m not talking about the paparazzi shots of him holding hands with Kylie Jenner in Paris. I?m talking about the images of Timmy strolling up to the London premiere of A Complete Unknown astride an electric Lime bicycle. Not only was the bike his mode of transportation to the event (there was traffic, he said), but the kid even rode the bike on the red carpet. It was fun! He?s the star of the movie, and anyway Timothee has the cache to set the mold for what it means to be a Gen Z movie star. By the next day, Timmy was off to Paris for more film promo duties, including a stop at French talk show Quotidien (if your name is Timothee Chalamet then you?re legally obligated to be fluent in French), where Timmy revealed that in his brief time using the Lime bike in London he?d gotten a 65 fine for parking it incorrectly. Sacr bleu!
Although Timothee Chalamet opted for a sensible mode of transportation for his latest red carpet, apparently no good goes unpunished.
After the Oscar nominee arrived to Tuesday?s London premiere of A Complete Unknown on a Lime bike, he revealed he was slapped with a 65 (roughly $79) fine for incorrectly parking the ride.
?It?s ecological!? explained Chalamet on the French talk show Quotidien of why he hopped the bike. ?It was horrible, because it was actually kind of an advert for them.?
He noted that he opted out of taking a car to the BFI Southbank premiere due to a traffic jam.
Chalamet?s bike ride comes after he earned a Golden Globe nomination for his performance as Bob Dylan in writer/director James Mangold?s biopic A Complete Unknown.
Now playing in theaters, the biopic follows an enigmatic 19-year-old from Minnesota who arrives in NYC in 1961 with his guitar and revolutionary talent, destined to change the course of American music. He forges intimate relationships with music icons of Greenwich Village on his meteoric rise, culminating in a groundbreaking and controversial performance that reverberates worldwide.
A Complete Unknown also stars Edward Norton as Pete Seeger, Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez, Elle Fanning as Sylvie Russo, Boyd Holbrook as Johnny Cash, Will Harrison as Bob Neuwirth and more.

Do I think Timothee Chalamet can pay a $79 fine without feeling the pinch? Absolutely. After all, he was mensch enough to offer to cover the $500 lack of permit fine incurred at his own lookalike contest. If nothing else, he has a billionaire girlfriend who could spot him the change. That being said, Timmy?s argument is right! Lime couldn?t buy the kind of publicity Timmy just handed them ? for free! When contacted by Forbes, Lime was cagey about whether they even issued the fine, let alone how much it was (most of their fines are no larger than 20). I can?t figure out when they could?ve even reached Timmy. He zipped across the channel tout suite! And no, it didn?t go unnoticed online that Timmy got into trouble for going electric, via bike, while promoting a Bob Dylan biopic that depicts the uproar Dylan faced for going electric, via guitar. In that light, Timmy is so particular with his red carpet moments? could he have planned this whole kerfuffle? I wouldn?t put it past Le Chalamet!

| | Elle Fanning vs. Dakota Fanning: which sister had the best Golden Globes look? | | Added 11 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

I know I?m making this a comparison post, but here?s a spoiler: I thought both Fanning sisters looked great at the Golden Globes! Elle Fanning and Dakota Fanning went to the Globes separately to promote different projects Elle was supporting A Complete Unknown, and Dakota was nominated for her supporting role in the Ripley miniseries. I usually think Elle has better style than her sister, but last night, they both killed it.
Elle wore a Balmain ballgown I thought at first that this was genuinely vintage, but no, it?s a new Balmain based on a vintage look. I?m a tacky B so I love an animal print, and this animal print was so well done. It saved the gown from looking too precious and princessy.
As for Dakota, I?ve seen three different IDs on this beautiful red dress it?s Versace, or Tony Ward or Dolce & Gabbana. You choose! It looks more like Versace to me, but I?ve been wrong before (and a lot of designers look like Versace these days). She did a perfect red lip with the dress too.

Two women got prominent Balmain looks for the 2024 Met Gala: Elle Fanning and Tyla. Elle?s Balmain was supposed to look like a sculpture, with birds ?holding up? the glassy/icy dress. It was a really cool effect, and she looked amazing. I would have liked to see her do more with her hair and makeup, but honestly, I trust her judgment. She loves fashion, she really thinks about what she?s doing and saying with her red carpet looks, and she was definitely one of my favorites.
As for Tyla? so many women heard something about ?the sands of time,? and they used it as an excuse to wear beige. TO THE MET GALA. At least Tyla actually wore SAND. Her Balmain dress was literally made out of sand, and she carried an ?hourglass clutch.? Her Balmain was so delicate, she had to be carried up the steps of the gala. This was ?A Star Is Born? moment for Tyla, who I had honestly never heard of before last night. But she won over so many fashion people and she got a lot of coverage.

| | Elle Fanning lost a franchise role because she 'didn't have enough IG followers' | | Added 616 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Elle Fanning has been working as an actress since she was a little kid. She?s 25 years old now, and her first acting credit came in 2001. So, she?s already had a twenty-plus year career in film and television. But that?s not enough for some producers and studios, because they?re mad that Elle Fanning is not some nepo baby who lives and dies by her Instagram follower count. Elle spoke to the Happy Sad Confused podcast this week about losing out of major roles because she didn?t have a big enough social media presence.
Whether she feels pressure to join big studio franchises: Fanning was asked if there is pressure on her career to join big studio franchises in order to stay ?relevant? as an actor. ?I don?t feel that [pressure]. I don?t,? Fanning said, while also acknowledging that joining the likes of Marvel, ?Star Wars? or DC ?does something? for other actors? careers. ?But you also don?t know if they?re going to work sometimes, which is scary.?
Fanning confirmed that she has auditioned for at least one big franchise movie. ?I did try out for?I?m not going to say what it was, but I didn?t get a part once for something big because ? it might not have just been this reason, but this was the feedback that I heard ? was because I didn?t have enough Instagram followers at the time. So that was a little like?I firmly don?t believe in not getting a part [for that]. It was for a bigger thing, a franchise thing.?
She has never gotten far in the audition process for those franchise projects: ?I would never say no to those things, but I would have to have a meeting and really talk to see what it is,? Fanning added about joining a franchise. ?I didn?t have to go through what Nick [Hoult] did?they made him try the [Batman] suit on. You need a balance. If you want to do your indie work, especially in producing now?[having a big franchise] does make you breathe better.?

As Variety points out, Elle has around 7 million followers on Instagram. Those aren?t Kardashian-Jenner numbers, obviously, but completely respectable. What?s weird is that studios especially Disney/Marvel really persuade their stars to join social media to promote their projects and engage with fans. Instead of saying ?wow, Elle already has a social media presence and a follower base we can build on,? they reject her because she?s not chronically online or trying to be an influencer. In any case, I?m glad she?s not worked up over it and I?m glad she?s happy with her already-successful career. It would be great if someone in charge had some imagination and realized that Elle has more acting range than all of the ladies with 50 million followers.

Here are some photos from last night?s Critics? Choice Awards in LA. There weren?t many ?wow? looks because obviously women are saving their biggest looks for more important award shows. If I was a nominee, I would probably show up in a simple suit or comfortable sack dress and just call it a day. Some women do make a bigger effort though, like Elle Fanning. Elle loves to get dressed up! Elle wore this deconstructed ball gown from Alexander McQueen. She looks like a dream. Genuinely, I love this on her.
People were going on and on about Aubrey Plaza in this bespoke Louis Vuitton and? I don?t get it? It?s not a bad dress but jeez. Also: some women shouldn?t go blonde and Aubrey is one of them.
Viola Davis in custom Valentino. It?s sparkly and flattering, although I feel like there are too many design elements. I was too busy looking at the half-sleeve and half-cape instead of taking in the whole dress.
I think Daisy Edgar-Jones is really pretty but I?m starting to wonder if her stylist is undermining her. This is Gucci and it?s way too much. Like Viola?s dress, too many design elements.
Claire Foy in Prada. It looks like she?s wearing a repurposed sarong. I kind of enjoy it and whatever, it?s different.
Kaley Cuoco in Dior, a custom maternity dress. I?m shocked this is Dior! The cutouts at the neckline are kind of terrible, they should have just lowered the neck on the dress. It feels very Sister Wife, very Country Music Awards.
Jennifer Coolidge in Dolce & Gabbana. Simple, fine. It?s amazing to see Coolidge get all of this recognition for The White Lotus.
