Timothée Chalamet to be celebrated at Italian Oscars
Timothée Chalamet will be celebrated at this year's David di Donatello awards, the Italian equivalent of the Oscars.
The 29-year-old actor will receive an award for 'cinematic excellence' at this year's ceremony in Rome on Wednesday (07.05.25).
Italian cinema academy president Piera Detassis in a statement: 'Timothée Chalamet's European origins and American background make him one of the most unpredictable and talented protagonists of international cinema today, capable of being both an auteur performer and a star generating trends and styles.
'The Academy is delighted to award him the David for Cinematic Excellence, which is meant to be an acknowledgement of the great actor of quality and innovative films, and, at the same time, of the global protagonist.
'It is important for us to remember how his worldwide recognition came about thanks to a wonderful Italian film, 'Call Me by Your Name', directed by one of our most internationally acclaimed directors, Luca Guadagnino. Essential and absolutely contemporary crossroads of cultures and visions, a match that David di Donatello is delighted to celebrate.'
The David di Donatello awards will be hosted by Elena Sofia Ricci and Mika.
Chalamet recently starred in the Bob Dylan biopic 'A Complete Unknown' and 'Dune: Part Two'. His new movie, Josh Safdie's sports flick 'Marty Supreme', will be released later this year.

World's biggest TikTok star leaves US after being detained by ICE
Your web browser is no longer supported. To improve your experience update it here BREAKING Pentagon launches review of AUKUS pact Khaby Lame, the world's most popular TikTok personality with millions of followers, has left the US after being detained by immigration agents in Las Vegas for allegedly overstaying his visa. The Senegalese-Italian influencer, whose legal name is Seringe Khabane Lame, was detained Friday at Harry Reid International Airport but was allowed to leave the country without a deportation order, a spokesperson for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed in a statement. Lame arrived in the US on April 30 and "overstayed the terms of his visa," the ICE spokesperson said. TikTok star Khaby Lame has left the US after he was detained by ICE officers. (Scott Garfitt/Invision/AP) The Associated Press sent a message seeking comment Tuesday to the email address listed on Lame's Instagram account. He has not publicly commented on his detainment. His detainment and voluntary departure from the US comes amid President Donald Trump's escalating crackdown on immigration, including raids in Los Angeles that sparked days of protests against ICE, as the president tests the bounds of his executive authority. A voluntary departure – which was granted to Lame – allows those facing removal from the US to avoid a deportation order on their immigration record, which could prevent them from being allowed back into the US for up to a decade. Lame, who is Senegalese-Italian, has more than 162 million followers on TikTok. (AP) The 25-year-old rose to international fame during the pandemic without ever saying a word in his videos, which would show him reacting to absurdly complicated "life hacks." He has over 162 million followers on TikTok alone. The Senegal-born influencer moved to Italy when he was an infant with his working class parents and has Italian citizenship. His internet fame quickly evolved. He signed a multi-year partnership with designer brand Hugo Boss in 2022. In January, he was appointed as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador. Last month, he attended the Met Gala in New York City, days after arriving in the US. immigration TikTok celebrities USA World CONTACT US

Brian Wilson dies aged 82: The Beach Boys founder remembered as music pioneer as family confirm legend's death
Music industry legend and pioneer of rock, Brian Wilson, founder of The Beach Boys has died aged 82. Wilson, who co-founded the iconic group back in 1961, created some of rock's most enduring songs such as Good Vibrations and God Only Knows in a career that was marked by a decades-long battle between his musical genius, drug abuse and mental health issues The singer's family announced his death in a statement on the Wilson's website. 'We are heartbroken to announced that our beloved father Brian Wilson has passed away,' the statement said. 'We are at a loss for words right now. 'Please respect our privacy at this time as our family grieving. 'We realise that we are sharing our grief with the world. Love & Mercy' The statement did not disclose a cause of death. The band's official social media site released an additional statement. 'Brian Wilson wasn't just the heart of The Beach Boys—he was the soul of our sound,' the statement read. 'The melodies he dreamed up and the emotions he poured into every note changed the course of music forever. His unparalleled talent and unique spirit created the soundtrack of so many lives around the globe, including our own. 'Together, we gave the world the American dream of optimism, joy, and a sense of freedom—music that made people feel good, made them believe in summer and endless possibilities.' Wilson had suffered from dementia and was unable to care for himself after his wife Melinda Wilson died in early 2024, prompting his family to put him under conservatorship. Wilson was the eldest and last surviving of the three musical brothers who formed the US rock band in 1961, alongside their cousin Mike Love and school friend Al Jardine. His band, known for their vocal harmonies, signed with Capitol Records in 1962 and released their first album, Surfin' Safari, that same year. Wilson was born on June 20 1942, and began to play the piano and teach his brothers to sing harmony as a young boy. The Beach Boys started as a neighbourhood act, rehearsing in Wilson's bedroom and in the garage of their house in suburban Hawthorne, California. In the group Wilson played bass while his brother Dennis was the drummer and Carl played lead guitar. Their debut single, Surfin', became a minor hit on its release in 1961 but was nothing compared with the success that followed from their second studio album, Surfin' USA, released in 1963. The band were managed by the trio's father, Murry Wilson, but by mid-decade he had been displaced and Brian, who had been running the band's recording sessions almost from the start, was in charge. They were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1988 and received a Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award in 2001. The Beach Boys' biggest hits included California Girls, Surfin' USA and Good Vibrations. Tributes flow for a musical pioneer Mick Fleetwood, drummer and co-founder of band Fleetwood Mac said Wilson had a 'genius magical touch'. 'Anyone with a musical bone in their body must be grateful for Brian Wilson's genius magical touch!!,' he wrote on X. 'Greatly saddened of this major worldly loss!! My thoughts go out to his family and friends.' - with Reuters, PA
