Timothée Chalamet snubs Kylie Jenner's birthday amid split rumours
Hollywood actor Timothée Chalamet marked Kylie Jenner's 28th birthday with a cryptic Instagram post and it has sparked fresh speculation about their relationship. Fresh split rumours have been circulating regarding the relationship between Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner after the Hollywood actor snubbed her birthday. The famous Kardashian was celebrating her 28th birthday with a glam party and family but Timothée was nowhere to be seen. Instead, the 29-year-old posted a picture from a historic boxing match showing Muhammad Ali celebrating victory, overlaid with the words 'Dream Big' in red, handwritten-style lettering instead of wishing his girlfriend a happy birthday. The American-French actors cryptic post has now added fuel to fire as fans fear that Kylie and Timothee have officially broken up, reports the Mirror. Timothée and Kylie were first linked in April 2023 after reports surfaced that they had been spending time together. They made their first public appearance as a couple in September that year at Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour in Los Angeles, where they were snapped kissing and laughing together in the VIP section. Since then, the couple have kept their relationship relatively low-key, occasionally being photographed on outings but avoiding public commentary about one another. Over the past month, fans have noted the absence of any new images of the pair together, with Kylie also posting a series of Instagram Stories featuring sad song lyrics which have further fuelled rumours of a split. The timing and content of Timothée's post on Kylie's birthday left many fans baffled as some believe the 'Dream Big' message may be a subtle reference to his upcoming film Marty Supreme, due for release on Christmas Day. While Timothée decided to publicly snub Kylie's birthday, her famous family marked her big day with their annual warm and emotional posts. Kylie's mum, Kris Jenner shared a carousel of throwback images of her youngest daughter as she wrote: 'Happy birthday to my baby girl!! You are truly beautiful inside and out… You are so smart, strong, creative, loving, kind, funny, and always so supportive… I love you beyond measure… Mommy.' Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Khloe, 41, captioned it: "Forever and then some, I love you to the moon and back. Happy birthday my girl… My soulmate sister… I love you beyond words, always and forever. With all my heart, Your second mommy, Khloé.' Kourtney Kardashian posted: "Tinker Bell! May you shine forever my little goose sister.' While Kim wrote: 'Kylie's day! Happy Birthday to the goat." The birthday girl also shared her own post, uploading childhood snaps including one where she sits proudly with her first bicycle, captioning it: 'happy birthday to meeee.' The Mirror has approached Timothee and Kylie's representatives for comment on this story.

"Emily in Paris" Star Thalia Besson Returns for Season 5
Yara Sameh Thalia Besson, who played deceitful antagonist Geneviève in Season 4 of Netflix's hit romantic comedy series 'Emily in Paris,' is back for Season 5, which is currently filming in Paris. Besson, the daughter of French director Luc Besson, is joining the key recurring cast, notably Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, who plays Emily's nonchalant boss Sylvie, Samuel Arnold (Julien), Bruno Gouery (Luc), William Abadie (Antoine Lambert), and Ashley Park, who stars as Emily's best friend, Mindy Chen. Season 5 also features the return of Emily Cooper's new Italian love interest, Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini), and her one-and-off partners, the sexy French chef Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) and dashing Brit Alfie (Lucien Laviscount). A source says another male character will join the show this season. Geneviève is the second 'villain' from 'Emily in Paris,' following Camille, Gabriel's French partner who was played by Camille Razat in the first four seasons of the show. The American-French stepdaughter of Sylvie, Geneviève, is born out of wedlock. Geneviève is an NYU grad who moved to Paris in Season 4 and got hired at Agence Grateau, where Emily gracefully took her under her wing. However, Geneviève isn't as innocent as she appears to be, and she soon starts to attempt to steal her clients and seduce Emily's boyfriend, Gabriel. The latter ultimately turns down Geneviève and tries to win Emily back after learning that she's moved to Italy. Season 4 wraps with a cliffhanger as Gabriel surprises Emily by showing up on the doorsteps of her new flat in Rome. Season 5 launched filming last month in Rome and returned to the French capital several weeks ago. The story picks up days after Season 4 ends, as Emily settles into her apartment in Rome to run Agence Grateau's Italian office and spend time with Marcello, the charming and confident heir of a family-owned cashmere company. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean

Kylie Jenner is 'learning to keep personal life private'
Kylie Jenner is 'learning to keep personal life private' 'The Kardashians' star grew up in the spotlight as a regular on her family's reality show 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' American socialite Kylie Jenner and American-French actor Timothe Chalamet (Image: Getty Images ) Kylie Jenner is "learning" to keep her personal life private and has found a "balance" with how much she shares with fans. 'The Kardashians' star grew up in the spotlight as a regular on her family's reality show 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' and has almost 400 million followers on Instagram, but she's been keeping some aspects of her life - including her romance with actor Timothee Chalamet - quiet and she thinks she's finally found the right "balance". She told Dazed magazine: " I think I've found a good balance with sharing the things that I want to share. Keeping parts of my personal life private. I'm just learning as I go, I think." Kylie went on to admit she's never truly experienced total privacy because she can barely remember a time before being famous. She added: "I don't really remember a time when that wasn't the case for me. It would have probably been hard for me if I didn't have a family who understood completely what I was going through." Article continues below The reality star previously explained her reluctance to talk about her boyfriend during an interview with the New York Times newspaper last year. When she was asked if her changing fashion sense was linked to a certain new person in her life, she said: "I don't know how I feel about that. I just don't want to talk about personal things." Kylie also previously admitted she finds it "hard to keep up with the internet" and she actually enjoys being offline these days. Article continues below The star - who is mother to two kids Stormi and Aire with her ex-partner Travis Scott - told the November 2024 issue of ELLE magazine: "My friends and I laugh because it's hard to keep up with the internet now. It's exhausting. "When I was posting 24/7 - waking up, what I'm eating for breakfast, what I'm wearing for the day, the colour of my nails, what car I'm driving, where I'm driving to - I didn't have an intense schedule. I wasn't working as much; I didn't have kids and just had more time. "If you're not posting three times a day on TikTok, you fall behind."

American prop house that supplies Hollywood may get the chop
A guillotine prop (left) at History For Hire's warehouse in North Hollywood, California. The company is run by Mrs Pam Elyea and her husband Jim. PHOTOS: JAKE MICHAELS/NYTIMES LOS ANGELES – When the Netflix series Wednesday (2022 to present) needed a guillotine recently, it did not have to venture far. A North Hollywood prop house called History For Hire had one available, standing taller than 2.4m with a suitably menacing blade. The company's 33,000 sq ft warehouse is like the film and television industry's treasure-filled attic, crammed with hundreds of thousands of items that help bring the past to life. It has a guitar American-French actor Timothee Chalamet used in A Complete Unknown (2024) and luggage from Titanic (1997). Looking for period detail? You can find different iterations of Wheaties boxes going back to the 1940s, enormous television cameras with rotating lenses from the 1950s, a hairdryer with a long hose that connects to a plastic bonnet from the 1960s, a pay phone from the 1970s and a yellow waterproof Sony Walkman from the 1980s. Old baby carriages that have been used in Addams Family Values (1993) and Bride Of Chucky (1998) at History For Hire. PHOTO: JAKE MICHAELS/NYTIMES History For Hire, which married couple Jim and Pam Elyea have owned for almost four decades, is part of the crucial but often unseen infrastructure that keeps Hollywood churning, and helps make it one of the best places in the world to make film and television. 'People just don't realise how valuable a business like that is to help support the look of a film,' said set decorator Nancy Haigh, who found everything from a retro can of pork-and-beans to a one-tonne studio crane there for Once Upon A Time In Hollywood (2019), for which she won an Oscar. 'But it's because people like them exist that your movie-going experience has such life to it.' When Good Night, And Good Luck (2005) was being filmed in town on a tight US$7 million (S$9 million) budget, its set decorator Jan Pascale persuaded the Elyeas to rent the team vintage cameras, microphones and monitors at a discount. Vintage cameras at History For Hire. PHOTO: JAKE MICHAELS/NYTIMES When director George Clooney wanted an old Moviola editing machine, Pascale recalled, the Elyeas found her one at a local school. And they had not only the telex machines that the production needed, but also workers who knew how to get them to work. 'I don't know what we would do without them,' said Pascale, who has won an Oscar for Mank (2020). No one likes entertaining that idea. But with fewer movies and television shows being shot in Los Angeles these days, and History For Hire getting less business, the Elyeas fear they may not be able to afford to renew their lease for five more years. If they close, Los Angeles will lose another piece of the vibrant ecosystem that has kept it attractive to film-makers, even as states such as Georgia and New Mexico lure productions with lucrative tax credits. Some Angelenos fear a vicious circle: If the city continues to lose local talent and resources, even more productions will flee. The Elyeas were making enough before the Covid-19 pandemic to employ 25 people. Now, they employ 11, and have been drawing down savings to stay open. The rent is expected to go up 25 per cent in July, when their lease is up. Now, they face a difficult choice. 'What do we do?' asked Mrs Elyea, 71. 'Do we say yes – we think there's going to be a going business here? Or do we say, 'We had a good run'?' From field radios to vintage boxes of Froot Loops Buckets, cups, boxes and bags of familiar brands from different eras at History For Hire. PHOTO: JAKE MICHAELS/NYTIMES The Elyeas met at design school. Mr Elyea , now 74, became a courtroom artist, but a sex-abuse trial he worked on in the 1980s soured him on that career. His parents owned an antique store, and he had always been a collector. So, when a friend who was a production designer asked him to come work on sets, he was sold. 'He loved it,' said Mrs Elyea . It was what he wanted to do. The couple opened their prop-rental business out of their apartment. Their first big break came when they got the gig to rent flak vests, field radios and medic equipment to Oliver Stone's 1986 film Platoon . They soon opened a 4,000 sq ft store , a fraction of their current size . Using his eye for antiques, Mr Elyea bought many items over the years. Artisans reproduced others. The work called for creativity and flexibility. A 3,600kg camera crane from the 1930s – shown in movies such as Hail, Caesar! (2016) and Babylon (2022) – had to be modified to comply with modern federal safety laws. Budweiser bottles at History For Hire. Getting the right Budweiser bottle can mean measuring down to the centimetre. PHOTO: JAKE MICHAELS/NYTIMES No detail is too small, said Mr Richard Adkins, the business' graphics director, who recreated eye-catching vintage cereal boxes of Cheerios, Froot Loops and bygone brands such as Sugar Jets for the prop house. He squinted at a ruler as he measured the height of a glass bottle. A film set in the 1980s was seeking a Budweiser bottle in a size that is no longer made, so Mr Adkins pulled two candidates from his vintage stock. 'There's a lot of research that one can do on the internet, but there's also a natural advantage of being a person my age who remembers,' said Mr Adkins, 76, who has been doing this work for 51 years and has worked at History For Hire for 27. Perhaps the most fulfilling part of the job, said Mrs Elyea , is diving into the history itself. There is an entire library in the warehouse devoted to that work, filled with books and reference guides that could be props themselves. Each prop has its own filmography Carts filled with props at History For Hire. Shoppers collect their items on carts and place orange tags on things they want to rent. PHOTO: JAKE MICHAELS/NYTIMES Scan a bar code, and History For Hire's inventory system will reveal a prop's past lives. One much-loved vintage camera – used in the 1992 film Chaplin starring Robert Downey Jr – has been to Antarctica and Mexico. A weather-beaten brown satchel appeared in The Patriot (2000) and Pirates Of The Caribbean (2003 to 2017). For 10 per cent of the price of the prop, it can be yours for a week. Want a wooden drumstick from the 1970s? That is US$2. Want an actual Vistalite drum set? That is closer to US$495. The Elyeas would have to rent many drum sets and many, many, many drumsticks to cover the US$500,000 they pay annually to rent the building where they store them all. Mrs Elyea is fine with some work going other places, and noted that it made sense to film, say, Oppenheimer (2023) in New Mexico. She has shipped her props all over the world for years. But she would need more local production in Los Angeles to keep her doors open. Aisles of items grouped together by topic or theme at History For Hire. PHOTO: JAKE MICHAELS/NYTIMES Set decorators say they have already lost several local prop houses, one as recently as in 2025. Faux Library had specialised in providing lightweight books that designers could use to fill a study. Modern Props, which had been a go-to for futuristic items, sh uttered awhile back. Mrs Elyea intends to keep the doors open as long as she can for herself, her husband, who has Parkinson's disease, and her staff. 'Neither Jim nor I are really ready to throw in the towel yet,' she said. Maybe, she added, they will sign a two-year lease, rather than a five-year one. And then they will see how it goes. One thought she is entertaining is that if the business were still viable, the couple may hand it over to the next generation that has learnt the trade – perhaps some of their long-time staff. But at this moment, it is a little unclear whether taking over the business would be a boon or a burden. But she knows one thing for sure. 'I don't want to be the last prop house in Los Angeles.'
