Kylie Jenner & Timothee Chalamet's Relationship Is PR Perfection, Experts Claim
and 's relationship is the talk of the town, primarily because the couple managed to grab the right audience at the right time. From their award show appearances to their recent red carpet debut, the pair has offered fans a lot. But, they have also maintained the suspense by not labeling their connection yet. A few PR experts exclusively gave their insights on the subject, claiming that their relationship is 'PR perfection.'
Since Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet began dating in 2023, the couple has guarded their relationship quite a bit. In 2025, the two made several official appearances together, including their red carpet debut at the 70th David Di Donatello Awards in May. Two PR experts spoke to Business Insider and examined the relationship and the PR moves behind it.
Evan Nierman, CEO of PR firm Red Banyan, shared insight into why netizens may find it hard to believe Jenner and Chalamet's relationship. The expert explained that the two stars' different brand identities and personas might contribute to the skepticism of their pairing. Nierman continued, 'The kind of brooding, superserious, superauthentic actor clashes with the Kardashian model,' leading to people finding it difficult to accept them as a couple.
Mike Fahey, the founder and CEO of the PR agency Fahey Communications, expressed how PR can play a significant role in what people hear about Hollywood. The unveiling of Jenner and Chalamet's relationship in the media was slow and steady. Although the couple made appearances together at the Golden Globes or Coachella this year, nothing major happened until their red carpet debut.
However, Nierman considered this a great PR move where 'slow strategic leaks that are then followed by a red carpet debut' would get people talking. Fahey further stated how these strategic PR moves in Jenner and Chalamet's relationship 'created this media firestorm while doing very little.'
Previously, the couple's red carpet debut in Rome created a viral moment among fans and netizens. It appears as though they still have a few major moves to go, including a social media debut or the actor's appearance in the Hulu reality show 'The Kardashians.' Nierman opined that the couple's relationship has 'been played to perfection.' The expert concluded, 'It keeps us guessing. It keeps us talking, and that's entirely the point.'

Bryan Cranston Raves About Daughter Taylor Dearden's Performance on 'The Pitt': I'm 'Over the Moon'
Bryan Cranston said there's "nothing" better than hearing praise for his daughter Taylor Dearden's star turn on The Pitt The Breaking Bad alum also revealed if he, as an award-winning actor, has given Dearden any advice Dearden plays Dr. Melissa "Mel" King on the hit medical drama, which has already been renewed for a second seasonBryan Cranston is one proud dad. The Breaking Bad actor, 69, can't help but boast about his 32-year-old daughter Taylor Dearden's breakthrough performance as Dr. Melissa "Mel" King on The Pitt. "There is nothing that's more gratifying than when your kid receives praise. Nothing," Cranston told the Associated Press of what he and longtime wife Robin Dearden, a fellow actor, think of their daughter's latest role. "No one can say anything to me that's better than that." "Her mom and I are just over the moon with her work on it," he added. "She's a very hard-working person. She grew up in it, so it's in her bones," Cranston gushed about Dearden's passion. "She's in it for the right reasons and she loves it." Having a dad who has won six Emmys, two Golden Globes and two Tonys — just to name a few of his accolades — is surely a boon for Dearden, but Cranston said he's not one to overbearingly offer tips. "Now, as far as advice, I think she picks up it because I'm her dad," he said. "She picks up advice hopefully by the way I behave in this business and navigate my way through." He added, "But I don't ever say, 'Now, young lady, here's some advice I wanna give you.' Kids don't wanna hear that." Dearden made her acting debut in a 2010 episode of Breaking Bad alongside her dad. She then went on to star on the MTV series Sweet/Vicious as Ophelia opposite Eliza Bennett's Jules. The show only aired for one season between 2016 and 2017. Elsewhere on TV, she has starred on season 2 of Netflix's American Vandal in 2018 and had a stint on Apple TV+'s For All Mankind before finding her way to The Pitt. In film, Dearden most notably starred in 2017's Heartthrob and 2020's The Last Champion. Dearden plays Dr. Melissa King on The Pitt, though most of her colleagues at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital call her Mel. Dr. King, a second-year resident, works closely alongside doctors like Dr. Frank Langdon (Patrick Ball) and Dr. Michael "Robby" Robinavitch (Noah Wyle) and looks after her autistic twin sister, Becca. Also in the cast are Tracey Ifeachor (Dr. Collins), Katherine LaNasa (Dana Evans), Supriya Ganesh (Dr. Mohan), Fiona Dourif (Dr. McKay), Isa Briones (Dr. Santos), Gerran Howell (Whitaker) and Shabana Azeez (Javadi). The Pitt, which wrapped its lauded first season on Max in April, has already been renewed for a second season. In the meantime, season 1 can be streamed in full on Max.

I invented the world's hottest pepper twice, in a top-secret location where my pickers carry firearms
I'm always working on new pepper breeds and have one even hotter than Pepper X. I'm not chasing records, though. I enjoy the challenge of making a hot pepper that tastes good. I closely guard my pepper creations. Some fields where I grow are kept at top-secret locations. This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with pepper farmer and founder of PuckerButt Pepper Company, Ed Currie. Currie created the Carolina Reaper, which first broke the Guinness World Record for hottest pepper in 2013 and held that title until 2023, when another of Ed's creations, Pepper X, took the new title. It has been edited for length and clarity. We grow peppers across many secret farms in South Carolina. It takes eight to 10 years to create a new pepper, and there are always new pepper breeds I'm working on. People think I'm chasing records. I'm not. I like the challenge of making a pepper hot that also tastes good. Needless to say, we keep security tight around here. All of us are armed, including the pickers. A while back, one guy claimed to have stolen some Pepper X, but he was standing in the middle of a jalapeño and habanero field. So we knew it wasn't Pepper X. He got in a lot of trouble, though. Since then, we haven't had issues with thieves but there are other threats like coyotes and copperheads. We've got to be prepared. I don't know if you've ever seen a coyote, but they don't like humans too much. To anyone who wants to steal my hottest peppers, I say, you'll never find them. Those fields are kept top secret.

How we grow the hottest peppers in the world We're in a subtropical zone with ideal conditions: great soil, long growing seasons, and regular rain. I breed peppers with various techniques, one is crossbreeding with simple paintbrushes. I take a flower from one plant, brush it with the paintbrush to collect its pollen, and then transfer that pollen to another flower on another plant. Then I remove all the other flowers I haven't cross-pollinated, so only the cross gets to fruit. Maybe out of say 200 plants, you might get 20 that produce a fruit that is viable for you to go on with. And then what might reach maturity is maybe 10 of those. We don't use synthetic chemicals, our pest control strategy is bugs. I buy ladybugs, green lacewings, and praying mantises every year and release them in the field. They do a better job than any chemical. The real pests are deer who eat the pepper plants. One year, we lost over 30,000 plants in a weekend to a herd of deer. We now build fences around our crops, which helps keep them out. Hurricanes can also be an issue. One field had eight feet of water over it after a hurricane. We lost the majority of our crop in that field, but still had a lot more plants to replenish it. This isn't just a business for me I was a drunk and a drug addict until 1999. So really, for over a decade, my life was just finding how to make more money to do more drinking and more drugging. I'm in recovery from addiction, and I truly believe peppers helped save me and stay clean. Hot peppers can release endorphins and dopamine in the body, so it kind of takes the edge off that craving. In fact, we're working with doctors to explore peppers in opiate detox. A tummy ache is better than a methadone dependency. I start every day with pepper oil in my coffee. Then, I'll head to my pepper farms and taste peppers there all day. It's a regular part of my diet. We already have a new pepper that has enough data to beat Pepper X, but I want three more years of data before releasing it. I don't want any controversy when it comes out. We also have one that's coming in hotter than that, and we just started the data on that one, so it's going to be five to seven more years before we release that one. Going hotter isn't just about the heat, it's about economies of scale. We only sell about 2% of our peppers whole; the rest we turn into mash, powder, or sauce that can be added to hot sauce recipes. So, if you're using 55 gallons of habanero mash to heat something up, I can do the same with five gallons of Carolina reaper, or one gallon of Pepper X. So I get more bang for my buck. This story was adapted from Ed Currie's interview for Business Insider's series " Big Business." Learn more about Currie and the hot pepper businesses in the video below:

A judge's dismissal of Justin Baldoni's $400 million defamation suit is a win for Blake Lively, but it's not 'game over'
Legal experts say Blake Lively has scored a key legal win against Justin Baldoni. A New York judge dismissed Baldoni's defamation case against Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and the NYT. Still, one expert told BI it's not "game over" for Baldoni since "the judge has granted him permission to amend his claim." Blake Lively just scored a major win in her ongoing legal battle with "It Ends With Us" director-costar Justin Baldoni, but the court fight isn't over yet. Legal experts told Business Insider the dismissal of Baldoni's $400 million defamation suit is an important win for Lively and her team, especially in a case where reputation is more at stake than money. "Even though it was a New York judge, the judge applied California law, and that's important because California is one of the most First Amendment-friendly states in the country," Neama Rahmani, a former federal prosecutor and cofounder of West Coast Trial Lawyers, told BI. Although the case was filed in New York, California laws apply because the events in question took place in the state. "The fact that the vast majority of the claims were dismissed with prejudice, which means that they can't be refiled, is a huge setback for Baldoni," Rahmani added. On Monday, a New York judge dismissed Baldoni's $400 million defamation countersuit against Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and The New York Times. Baldoni argued that the parties conspired to destroy his career with false allegations after Lively filed a federal lawsuit against Baldoni, which accused him of sexual harassment and retaliation. In her complaint, Lively said that Baldoni and the producers of "It Ends With Us" orchestrated a smear campaign against her after she raised concerns about on-set conditions during the film's production. Baldoni has denied the allegations. A spokesperson for Lively said in a statement to BI that the lawsuit dismissal is "a total victory and a complete vindication" of the actor. "As we have said from day one, this '$400 million' lawsuit was a sham, and the Court saw right through it," said the spokesperson, who added that Lively plans to seek attorneys' fees, treble damages, and punitive damages from Baldoni and his associates. US District Judge Lewis J. Liman ruled that Lively's sexual harassment allegations in her lawsuit are legally protected speech. The judge also ruled Baldoni's allegations that Lively engaged in an extortion campaign to seize creative control of "It Ends With Us" from Baldoni did not qualify as civil extortion under California law. Liman says Baldoni can refile an amended suit against Lively regarding his contract breach and interference allegations. Baldoni has until June 23 to file that amended complaint. Baldoni's camp would not confirm to BI whether they would refile, but a statement from his attorney, Bryan Freedman, suggested that the director has plans to do just that. "Ms. Lively and her team's predictable declaration of victory is false, so let us be clear about the latest ruling. While the Court dismissed the defamation-related claims, the Court has invited us to amend four out of the seven claims against Ms. Lively, which will showcase additional evidence and refined allegations," Freedman said. Freedman added, "Most importantly, Ms. Lively's own claims are no truer today than they were yesterday, and with the facts on our side, we march forward with the same confidence that we had when Ms. Lively and her cohorts initiated this battle and look forward to her forthcoming deposition, which I will be taking." Camron Dowlatshahi of MSD Lawyers, who specializes in sexual harassment cases, told BI that the judge's dismissal is still a major victory for Lively at a very early stage of the case. "Baldoni can amend his complaint to properly allege a cause of action for defamation," said Dowlatshahi. "His amended complaint will likely face another motion to dismiss and cannot manufacture facts, so it remains to be seen whether Baldoni can get to the discovery stage of his case." Lively's lawsuit against Baldoni is still pending and could proceed to trial. Amber Melville-Brown, a media law specialist and partner at Withers, told BI there may be some hope left for Baldoni if he targets Lively's statements made outside her complaint, which may be less protected. "Libel litigation can be akin to spinning the roulette wheel or sitting down to a game of chance," said Melville-Brown. "So while Baldoni may have lost in this latest hand, it doesn't mean all bets are off. It's not necessarily game over because the judge has granted him permission to amend his claim." "That said, and I'm not a gambler myself. If he didn't play his strongest cards at the outset, it's not easy to see that he's going to come up with a winning hand second time around," Melville-Brown added.
