Timothee Chalamet and Kylie Jenner's rumoured romance has social media in a chokehold after the pair were spotted kissing at a Beyonce concert in California. But now, attention has been turned to the actor puffing on a cigarette while in attendance. The viral clip of the pair at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California on Monday night (4 September) soon spread online, with many commenting on Chalamet's concert etiquette. "Imagine spending a bunch of money and being sooo excited to see Beyoncé on tour only to have Timothee Chalamet in the comfort of his little booth flicking cigarette ashes on your head," one person penned on X/Twitter. Another jokingly reiterated: "Imagine the cigarette ash of Timothee Chalamet fell on your head at Beyonce's concert?!?" Another found it offensive towards the 'Summer Renaissance' singer, writing: "Smoking cigarettes at a Beyonce concert i see we’ve left etiquette at the door…" "Timothee Chalamet smoking a cig at Beyonce’s birthday show for her to inhale does not sit right with me," another X/Twitter user wrote. Meanwhile, one person humoured: "Timothee Chalamet is legally required to smoke one cigarette at minimum per day to maintain french citizenship stop being mean to him :(". Speculations that Chalamet and Jenner were dating were rife back in April when Jenner was spotted at the actor's house. Around the same time, the pair went out for food, according to TMZ.

However, she’s enjoying getting to know him better and is open to seeing where things go."

A Lizzo "signature meal" at McDonald’s has been shared on social media – only, it’s completely fake, and circulated in an attempt to body shame the singer. The fake post features a picture of McDonald’s burgers, fries and nuggets, claiming to be a news report. The post states that the “New McDonald’s ‘Lizzo Meal’ is coming out”, before adding that the offer “Consists of 10 burgers, 95 nuggets & 6 Diet Cokes”. Claiming that all of the food in the post is Lizzo’s “daily meal”, which is a clear attempt to body shame the 35-year-old. The fake post comes in the aftermath of the allegations made against Lizzo this year. It was reported earlier this summer that Lizzo was being sued by former members of her dance troupe for sexual harassment and weight-shaming. The singer responded to the 44-page lawsuit on social media, telling fans that “there is nothing I take more seriously than the respect we deserve as women in the world”. She described the allegations as being “as unbelievable as they sound and too outrageous not to be addressed”. Meanwhile, in an interview recorded days before lawsuit allegations were made public, Lizzo hinted that something was making her 'sad', prompting speculation she knew the storm was coming. A pre-recorded 60 Minutes interview has been released, in which producers were totally unaware of what was to come. "Even today, I was having a rough day. I was sad and stuff earlier today", she told host Tom Steinfort. "And I still feel like for some reason, even if I'm having a bad day or I'm going through something, people still get good from it. Maybe I'm transmuting it or maybe I'm an alchemist." Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.

In a video posted on his Instagram stories, Jake responded to those who have claimed he has been a “bad brother” to Logan amid the ongoing feud. Jake said: “People are saying, ‘Jake, you haven’t come to your brother’s defence’… like, defence of what? Logan is going to knock the f**king s**t out of this kid, that’s all that matters. “The rest is just sales for the fight, making the fight bigger, and making my brother more money. Defence of somebody over little, widdle, bitty tweets? Like, bro, we’re grown men here. We’ve seen so much worse than this. So, Logan doesn’t need my help defending anything.” Logan and Danis are due to fight on 14 October in Manchester, which will be on the same card as KSI vs. Tommy Fury.

Jordan Peterson has left the internet baffled after seemingly reciting a speech from a James Bond film as though it were historical fact. The controversial commentator appeared on This Weekend Past, where he explained the 'Rat King' theory, after host, Theo Von, revealed it was his nickname.

So you go catch 10 rats and throw them in a pit... soon there is one rat because he gets all the other rats, he's a champ", he said.

When you've got to go, you've got to go but unfortunately for Robbie Williams, this happened to him while on stage where he ended up pooping his pants. The Take That singer recalled the time back in 2011 when he had “horrendous” food poisoning, which put him in the "precarious position of not being able to 'trust a fart'. In a post to Instagram, the 49-year-old detailed the experience at length how he needed to pass gas during the opening song “Let Me Entertain You," and he wasn't feeling too good. "So, I had food poisoning once on the Take That tour.*When I rejoined It was Horrendous. It felt like death," he wrote. "We unfortunately had to cancel a show in Denmark because of it. I still feel bad." "Anyway, A few days later we were playing at the Ajax stadium in Amsterdam. "Still not anywhere near well enough I ventured to the stage. I was in the precarious position of not being able to 'trust a fart'. "Which was unfortunate because that’s what I needed to do during my opening song. Let me Entertain you." When this move backfired, the Angels singer had to remain professional during the song. "As I’m sure you can imagine it didn’t remain just a fart. But ever the pro I retained my composure and committed to the performance 100%" Williams explained. "Because of the picture I’ve just painted I’m sure you have questions. But let’s just let sleeping logs lie for now," he joked. "A gig parp any other time can be liberating."

Woody Allen's Coup De Chance premiere at Venice Film Festival was hit with a group of topless protestors, who were eventually led away from the event. The group of around 15 people were captured on video chanting "no rape culture" while standing outside the Palazzo del Cinema venue. Allen's daughter, Dylan, has previously accused him of sexually abusing her when she was a child – claims he denies. The protestors were reportedly from several Italian groups, said to include feminist groups Non Una Di Meno and smaller collectives: Cso Morion, Spina Collective, Squeert Collective and Cso Pedro. It comes after the 87-year-old dismissed cancel culture as "silly" before saying there was "nothing in" the allegations put against him. When asked by an audience in Venice whether he felt that he had been cancelled he said: "I just find that all so silly. I don’t think about it. I don’t know what it means to be cancelled." Allen went on to discuss the MeToo movement, saying: "I think any movement where there’s actual benefit, where it does something positive – let’s say for women – is a good thing." He added: "It’s silly when it’s not really a feminist issue or an issue of unfairness to women. When it’s being too extreme in trying to make it into an issue when, in fact, most people would not regard it as any kind of offensive situation." The director once again denied child abuse allegations put against him. "There was nothing in it," he said. "The fact that it lingers on always makes me think that maybe people like the idea that it lingers on." When asked when he had any contact with Dylan or her brother, Allen said: "No. Always willing to, but no." Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.

Olivia Rodrigo has responded to rumours her song 'Vampire' is about her speculated feud with fellow pop star Taylor Swift. The 20-year-old musician addressed the fan theory that her first single off her sophomore album GUTS, was about the 'Anti-Hero' singer in a new interview with The Guardian. In the song, one line of the chorus goes: "bloodsucker, fame fucker, bleedin’ me dry like a goddamn vampire!” Many believe this to be a reference to Swift over their rumoured fallout over song credit where Rodrigo's song 'Deja Vu' had similarities to 'Cruel Summer.' Rodrigo noted the bridge was "inspired" by Swift's Lover album track and Olivia ended up giving Swift 50 per cent of the credits and royalties and similarly also gave credits and royalties to Paramore as her hit song 'Good 4 U' was compared to the band's popular track 'Misery Business.' When asked about this possible meaning for her song, Rodrigo shared her "surprise" at this interpretation. "I was very surprised when people thought that," she told The Guardian. "How do I answer this? I mean, I never want to say who any of my songs are about." “I’ve never done that before in my career and probably won’t.” She added: "I think it’s better to not pigeonhole a song to being about this one thing.” Here's how fans have been reacting to Rodrigo's comments, and opinions on the matter are mixed: On a similar topic, Roderigo how this experience from her Grammy Award-winning debut album SOUR wasn't something she wasn't over worried about when making GUTS. “I was so green as to how the music industry worked, the litigious side … I feel like now I know so much more about the industry and I just feel … better equipped in that regard. It wasn’t something I thought about too much," she explained. Rodrigo's new album GUTS is set to be released on September 8.
