Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet spotted kissing at Oscars after she skipped SAG Awards
Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet were caught locking lips during a steamy scene before the 2025 Oscars awards ceremony Sunday.
In pictures taken inside the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, show the pair — who have been linked since January 2023 — lovingly staring into each other's eyes before moving in for a kiss.
The duo's intimate moment comes minutes after the 29-year-old actor posed solo on the red carpet in a pale yellow Givenchy suit. Jenner, 27, on the other hand, opted out of the pre-show, paparazzi spectacle.
While Chalamet's attendance at the 97th annual show was mostly guaranteed considering he's nominated for his performance as Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown, many were unsure whether the beauty mogul would accompany him after she was noticeably absent from the Screen Actors Guild awards last weekend.
Jenner's longtime hairstylist and close friend Jesus Guerrero suddenly died at the age of 34 in the days leading up to the SAG ceremony.
Guerrero — whose list of clients also included Katy Perry, Dua Lipa, Jessica Alba, Demi Moore and Jennifer Lopez — was confirmed dead on February 22 in a GoFundMe page started by his sister Gris Guerrero.
The Kylie Cosmetics founder broke her silence in an Instagram tribute posted to her page three days later.
'Jesus was more than my friend - he was a light in my life, a source of laughter, comfort, love, and unwavering support,' she wrote. 'I don't know how I would have made it through the last almost decade without him by my side. He had a way of making even the heaviest days feel lighter.
'Thank you, Jesus, for always being there for me, for lifting me up, for being my friend. The pain of losing you is just unbearable and I don't know how to move forward without you but I know great grief is born only of great love,' she continued.
'And I loved you so much. You were the best person, with a talent that was unmatched. a true artist. You inspired so many, and you always will,' Jenner said. 'Your words, your laughter, your kindness, your beautiful spirit will live in my heart forever. I'll cherish all our moments together. every laugh and hug. I wish I could hug you again. I laid in your bed the way you used to lay in mine, talking for hours.
'I would give anything for one more deep talk. I'm going to miss you so much more than any words can say. 222 my angel,' she finished.
Citing sources, People reported that Jenner will be paying for Guerrero's funeral to help support his family.
'Jesus' death hit her hard. She is shocked and very upset,' one insider reportedly told the outlet. 'Still, she's doing everything she can to be supportive and aid his family, including financially.
'As upset as she feels, she knows it's so much worse for his family. She doesn't want them to stress about money,' the source continued. 'She's taking care of expenses, including those associated with his funeral.'

Instagram Says Trial Reels Have Helped Creators Significantly Increase Their Reach
This story was originally published on Social Media Today. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Social Media Today newsletter. Instagram's trial Reels have been available for just on six months now, and IG is keen to get more creators trying out its audience sampling feature, in order to help boost content performance. As you can see in this example sequence, trial Reels are shown to a selection of users who don't follow your profile, which can give you early insight into the likely performance of your Reel. To be clear, trial Reels are not displayed to your followers, either in the main Feed or via the Reels tab. The idea is that this gives you an unbiased assessment of content quality, while also helping you potentially reach a broader audience. Which some have also used as a growth hack of sorts, in that you can get your content in front of a broader audience in the app by only showing your Reels to people who don't follow you. Within that, you can also re-post older posts as trial Reels as well, and some creators have found this to be an effective way to build their audience. Another element to consider. 'Approximately 24 hours after sharing a trial reel, you can view engagement data, such as views, likes, comments and shares. The more trial reels you create, the more insights you'll have to compare against other trial reels and the more understanding you'll have on what might perform best.' You're limited to 20 trial Reels per day, but outside of that, you can test and measure your initial Reels' response, which can then help to inform your content strategy. And for those who are using trial Reels, they have proven effective: 'After trying trial reels, 40% of creators started posting reels more often and of those who did, 80% saw an increase in reels reach from non-followers.' So it can help to guide your thinking on what to post, while you can also easily convert trial Reels into regular posts, which will then be shared with your followers. It could be a valuable tool in your IG strategy, and as Instagram notes, many creators are finding this a valuable tool for audience sampling. And IG clearly wants more creators to try it out. If you are thinking about adopting trial Reels, you need to have a professional account (though IG also says that some creators without a professional account may have access to trial reels as part of ongoing testing). You can activate a trial Reel in the publish element of the Reels upload process. Sign in to access your portfolio

‘Love Island USA' Contestant Yulissa Escobar Apologizes for Using Racial Slur After Being Kicked Off Show: ‘I Didn't Know Better Then, but I Do Now'
'Love Island USA' contestant Yulissa Escobar has released a statement apologizing for using racial slurs in past podcast clips that resurfaced online. 'In those clips, I used a word I never should've used, a racial slur,' Escobar wrote on her Instagram account. 'I used it ignorantly, not fully understanding the weight, history, or pain behind it. I wasn't trying to be offensive or harmful, but I recognize now that intention doesn't excuse impact. And the impact of that word is real. It's tied to generations of trauma, and it is not mine to use.' More from Variety 'Love Island USA' Is Back: Here's How to Watch Season 7 Online 'Love Island' Spinoff 'Beyond the Villa' Greenlit for Summer Premiere With Cast Including JaNa, Serena, Leah and Other Season 6 Stars Luminate Streaming Ratings: 'Cobra Kai,' 'Love Island USA,' 'Find Me Falling' and 'Hillbilly Elegy' Top TV and Film Charts July 19-25 She continued: 'At the time, I was speaking casually in conversation, not thinking deeply or critically about what I was saying. But that doesn't take away from how wrong it was. The truth is, I didn't know better then, but I do now. I've taken the time to reflect, to learn, and to grow from that moment.' Escobar was removed from the villa during the second episode of Season 7, which aired on Peacock on Wednesday, with minimal context about the reason behind her departure. Shortly after Peacock announced the original 'Love Island USA' cast ahead of its June 3 premiere, fans exposed the ex-islander for her controversial past, vowing to vote her off the show once submissions opened. In the clips obtained by TMZ, she is heard saying the N-word several times while discussing past relationships. 'I've changed a lot since then, not just in how I speak, but in how I show up, how I carry myself, and how I honor the experiences of others,' Escobar wrote. 'Growth means recognizing when you were wrong, even if it's uncomfortable, and choosing to move forward with humility and accountability.' In her apology, Escobar also addressed claims of false statements about her character circulating online since her exit. 'There have also been fake statements circulating, things written or said by others that don't reflect me or my heart,' Escobar continued in her post. 'I want to clarify that this is my voice and my words. I don't need anyone to speak for me. I'm choosing to speak for myself because I take full ownership of my actions. Do not listen to the fake statements. This is my official statement. This is me speaking directly to you. To those who are disappointed or offended, I understand, and I apologize. I am sorry.'

The 'Truth Hurts' singer, 37, shared a video on Instagram of herself dancing in a pink and gray string bikini in front of a backyard pool on Saturday, June 7. She also wore a black face covering as she swayed and moved to a track of herself rapping. 'BLACK TRUCK A-- POKING OUT THA WINDOW,' she captioned the post — which is also one of the lyrics to the song that played in the background. Lizzo is no stranger to a fun summer photo shoot. She shared a video of herself dancing and lip-syncing in a yellow and blue bikini and high heels on May 24 to celebrate Memorial Day. The musician has been vocal on social media and in interviews about her weight loss journey since 2023. She also has reminded her followers that the ultimate goal of her weight loss was to improve her mental health. 'Exercise has helped me shift my mind, not my body," she said in a May 2023 TikTok video. Later, in a March 2024 interview with The New York Times, Lizzo revealed that she had been 'methodical' with her health plan and was 'losing weight very slowly.' She also told the outlet that her idea of body positivity had 'evolved into body neutrality.' 'I'm not going to lie and say I love my body every day,' she explained. 'The bottom line is, the way you feel about your body changes every single day. There are some days I adore my body, and others when I don't feel completely positive.' In January 2025, the 'About Damn Time' singer shared two mirror selfies on Instagram overlaid with screenshots from an app that showed her weight goal had been achieved. 'I did it,' she captioned the post. 'Today when I stepped on my scale, I reached my weight release goal. I haven't seen this number since 2014! Let this be a reminder you can do anything you put your mind to. Time for new goals!' The stats in her photos revealed that the star had lowered her body mass index by 10.5 and had lost 16% of her body fat.

Lizzo has also been open about the intentional way she talks about losing weight. During an April 7 interview on the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast, the singer said that she prefers the term 'weight release' to 'weight loss.' "My man, he's so funny,' she said, referring to her boyfriend, Myke Wright. 'He was the one that brought it to my attention at first. Because at first I was like, 'Oh my gosh, I lost five pounds,' and he was like, 'Where did it go?' " 'It's like, I don't think I want to lose anything. I think I want to win. I think I want to gain,' she added. Read the original article on People
