TIMOTHEE CHALAMET IS CONCERNED ABOUT HIS IMAGE (AND HE SHOULD BE!)

Timothee Chalamet’s on again off again romance with Kylie Jenner is on again. The couple quietly took a break earlier this year but recently reconciled – only this time, Kylie agreed to some boundaries – including no mention of him on her reality show, no social media posts, and no red carpet appearances without prior approval from his management team. As my inside source explains it, Timothee (and his management) feared his public relationship with the youngest member of the Kardashian/Jenner clan wasn’t doing his career as a serious actor any favors. His fans were not happy. He never stopped liking Kylie, but didn’t want to be so closely associated with the publicity obsessed family. For now Kylie has agreed to his asks, but only time will tell if she grows tired of staying in the shadows.

KATE MIDDLETON WANTS YOU TO LIKE HER

Kate Middleton wants to go from “the ice princess” to “the people’s princess.” Kate shocked the fashion world when she dared to pair a previously worn dress with $28 Zara earrings to the BAFTAS (the British version of the OSCARS) on February 19, but this was NOT fashion faux pas – it was a well- orchestrated fashion decision. According to an insider, Kate’s on a mission to repair her image after her brother-in-law Prince Harry described her in a less than flattering light in his autobiography, Spare. Kate came across as cold and not very relatable, so she’s quietly working with a PR pro whose sole purpose is to make her more popular than her sister-in-law, Meghan Markle. The down-to-earth reworn dress and fake jewels are only the start. We’ve been told that the changes will be subtle over the next few months, but the end game is to make Kate warm and fuzzy. Note the sneakers…

ANGELINA JOLIE: NOT AS SWEET AS SHE LOOKS

Angelina Jolie is watching her saintly image slips down the drain and she’s NOT happy about it. Jolie is famous for controlling her own image as a devoted mom and a benevolent humanitarian without the help of a publicist. Since she filed for divorce, Angelina has been cleverly planting negative information about her estranged husband Brad Pitt in hopes of getting full custody of their 6 kids. She needs full custody so she can move wherever she wants while doing her diplomatic work. Two women who work for her charity in London have been accused of being the sources of the Brad stories whispered to journalists. Alcohol and drug problems, child abuse- even cheating rumors surfaced about Brad – to his great distress. The FBI was called in to investigate Brad’s behavior with the children but they found nothing wrong. Meanwhile Angelina continues to publicize all the details of their custody battle to further the smear campaign against Brad. But suddenly, people are starting to DOUBT Angelina’s accusations and point the finger at HER for dirty divorce tactics. Brad has kept quiet throughout and we will probably never hear HIS side of the story. He just wants access to his kids and we feel bad for him. Brad should have known better than to marry a woman who has NO FEMALE FRIENDS – or male either.

KANYE WEST IS TRYING TO CLEAN UP KIM KARDASHIAN’S IMAGE

Kim Kardashian’s incredibly self indulgent and lavish wedding left a bad taste in everyone’s mouth except her mother Kris, who managed to turn it into a money making proposition. 72 days later the marriage was OVER and we still don’t really know WHERE all those expensive gifts ended up! Kanye West has noticed that Kim is not well liked in certain circles. This week Kim and Kanye announced that instead of baby gifts, friends should send a donation to the Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago. Whose idea do you suppose THAT was? Certainly not Kim or her momager Kris. Of course, it was Kanye’s idea – he’s from Chicago and is involved with a number of charities there. We guess he’s tired of people badmouthing his baby mama.

BANKRUPT GARY BUSEY TRIED TO KEEP UP THE “HOLLYWOOD LIFESTYLE”

Acquaintances of Gary Busey are not the least bit surprised that he filed for bankruptcy because he’s “never had a good grip on his finances.” “Gary still spends and acts like he’s an A-list star” we were told. Gary was nominated for an Oscar for “The Buddy Holly Story” in the late 70’s, followed by a number of successful movies like ”Lethal Weapon.” After that, his income went down, but his spending DIDN’T. He’s never owned a house because he always had bad credit. But he HAD to keep up “the image” so he RENTED a (modest) Malibu house for years, and drove a 20 plus year old Mercedes. Recently Gary got lucky and clicked on the reality show circuit (above, Gary on Celebrity Wife Swap) and made some money, but “spent it like the big star he isn’t any more.”

KESHA AND TAYLOR MOMSEN WANT AMY WINEHOUSE’S IMAGE, NOT BRITNEY’S

In her quest for a “bad girl” image, Kesha, 23, has acquired a removable gold tooth, not unlike the gold tooth Madonna sported in the early 90’s. Back in the 80’s you could buy “gold” teeth on 42nd street for around five dollars for immediate gratification. Kesha (Tik Tok) and Taylor Momsen,17, (Pretty Reckless) are hell-bent on creating debauched rockstar images for themselves by whatever means possible. They’re terrified of being regarded as white-bread pop stars like Britney Spears. Amy Winehouse is much cooler.
