This clickbaity article “It’s Time For a Chamalet Break” is right on time, just after the Oscars when everyone is sick of hearing about the same ten people. We’ve seen it happen before (Anne Hathaway, hello!) but typically, this type of overexposure annoyance is reserved for women.

With Timmy, I still don’t think it’s fair because he works a lot. Actors are obligated to promote their work and he went hard for Marty Supreme because… that’s his job. He needs to do the same for Dune: Part Three. And the writer totally lost me on this: “Conan tried a number of times to vibe with Chalamet, to zero effect. Chalamet could look to another elder statesman, Leonardo DiCaprio, who happily if bemusedly played along with Conan’s attempt to create a new meme.” This may be true this year but typically, Leonardo DiCaprio does NOT play along. He’s loosened up a bit, but Leo is 51 and has an Oscar, Timothee is 30. Leo was uptight for years at award shows and even now, rarely presents or does interviews that are not highly controlled.

Yesterday I wrote about Variety’s story on the Sussexes relationship with Netflix. The PR teams are pushing back. On the development deal, Deadline positions it as a nothingburger, pulling quotes from Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria at the Next on Netflix event that essentially chalked it up to business as usual in TV. The Hollywood Reporter ran a story with more Bajaria quotes from the same event, including, “I would say don’t believe whatever you read.” She said, very plainly, there is still a relationship and Bajaria is at the top of the food chain, she doesn’t need to appease publicists or egos. I’m also curious as to how Netflix’s front office is dealing with Variety because a lot of the details in the story, particularly about As ever and the Zoom calls, were too specific to be from outsiders.

I did not know Rob Lowe and Holly Robinson Peete are childhood friends. Did they both touch the same talisman in elementary school, is that why they look so young?

My Jesse Plemons Oscar prediction was wrong (he showed up) but my Leonardo DiCaprio prediction was right – Vittoria Ceretti sat next to him but they didn’t walk the red carpet.  Vittoria is 27 (we know where that joke is going) but more important, she is divorced. There’s something very chic about a young divorcée and I think she is directly contributing to his glow-up. I read a comment that said “he picked up the gua sha” –the jawline is working!

Eva Mendes walked the red carpet to support Project Hail Mary in her best Going Out top and curly hair. Her makeup is on point, too. Is it me or have they been a little more public lately? Not in an obnoxious way, in a cute way.

Rich Paul hit up the Oscars party, but did Adele join him? I haven’t seen any photos of her out. She has attended Beyoncé’s Oscar party, but not every year.
