Timothée Chalamet is willingly in his villain era, not his fatherhood era

Timothée Chalamet was papped at breakfast in LA this weekend and I appreciate it because he was all over my timeline this weekend and now I have photos to go along with the story. Every month where Timmy and Kylie Jenner are concerned, they’re either getting married or they’ve broken up. This weekend the rumour circulating on social media had to do with pregnancy. A fake IG stories screenshot of her making the announcement was shared all over the place and, at least from what I saw, a lot of people believed it.

But then my algorithm served me this tweet and after crying laughing, I was less worried about the state of media literacy.

I knew this is fake because he would’ve named his kid Jalen Brunson Chalamet https://t.co/ID1KehEP25

It is definitely more likely that he would name his kid Jalen Brunson than Timothée Chalamet Jr.

So, no, Timmy and Kylie are not expecting a child. And she did not post a pregnancy photo of herself. So there is zero evidence to support the idea that Timmy Chalamet will soon become a father. But there is plenty of evidence to suggest that he is willingly in his villain era, after the movie cycle that was Marty Supreme and as we approach the Dune 3 timeline in which Paul Atreides fully turns into an evangelical warmonger, sorry for the spoiler but it’s not like the trailer last week didn’t make that obvious. The personal and professional story arcs exist on the same plane.

What else happened today…

With so much focus on Andrew Garfield’s hair(line), we’re sleeping on Monica Barbaro’s outfits. This is summertime prep, I dig it. (Go Fug Yourself)

As mentioned in today’s site open, Moana flopped. Which means Dwayne the Rock Johnson’s flop streak continues. Here’s Kayleigh Donaldson on what he should do next. (Pajiba)

Jonah the dog really does deserve his own special day because if that were my two beagles, having to watch another dog eat a hot dog, the hollering and the hysterics coming from them would have stopped the baseball game, I’m serious. Jonah is a very, very good boy who earned the VIP treatment. (Celebitchy)

I read a depressing but also fascinating story reported by Rose Horowitch this weekend about the End of Reading, positing that America isn’t illiterate, it’s postliterate, and that one day if we were to look back at the course of human history, the Age of Reading might be an anomaly. What will the consequences be if thoughtful reading declines to the point of… none? Are we already seeing it happening now? (The Atlantic)

On that note, a case for reading: Mac Crane on how it makes you a better flirt. (Autostraddle)
