Charli XCX ‘honoured’ to be at ‘political’ Berlin Film Festival Aidan Zamiri’s mockumentary “The Moment”, starring Charli XCX playing a fictionalised version of herself dealing with the fallout of her own “brat summer” phenomenon, is being shown in the festival’s Panorama section after premiering at Sundance last month. At a press conference, Charli XCX was asked why she felt it was important to launch the film this way, at a time when many prominent new film releases are not coming from the festival circuit. “I think we all collectively feel so honoured to have been invited to show our film at both Sundance and here at the Berlinale,” she said, adding that “both festivals really do champion a wide variety of filmmakers with really important voices”. She went on to emphasise that the Berlinale “in particular is known for not shying away from political films, from films that …

U2, Charli XCX and Robbie Williams honoured at Ivor songwriting awards

U2, Charli XCX and Robbie Williams honoured at Ivor songwriting awards

By Marie-Louise Gumuchian U2, Charli XCX and Robbie Williams honoured at Ivor songwriting awards LONDON, – Singers Charli XCX, Robbie Williams, Myles Smith and rapper Berwyn triumphed on Thursday at the Ivors, Britain’s annual awards for songwriters and screen composers, with Irish rockers U2 adding to their honours with a fellowship. U2 members Bono, Adam Clayton, The Edge and Larry Mullen Jr. follow Paul McCartney, Sting, Kate Bush and Bruce Springsteen in receiving an Ivors Academy Fellowship, the highest honour bestowed by the UK-based association. They are the first Irish songwriters to do so. “When we gathered in Larry Mullen’s kitchen in 1976, this was unimaginable – we never thought that the band could be this old,” Clayton said on stage. “We had the most basic of talents but we believed that songs could take us anywhere because we’d already been to so many places, we just had to tell our story.” At the ceremony in London, Charli XCX was named songwriter of the year in recognition of her hit album “Brat,” which inspired a …

Kylie Jenner, Timothee Chalamet pack on the PDA at Charli XCX’s Coachella gig, but fans say, ‘she likes him TOO much’

Kylie Jenner, Timothee Chalamet pack on the PDA at Charli XCX’s Coachella gig, but fans say, ‘she likes him TOO much’

Apr 14, 2025 09:04 PM IST PDA alert! There’s no two ways about how intensely Kylie Jenner feels for beau Timothee Chalamet. The latter seems to be finally reciprocating in the public eye Day 2 at Coachella was a ‘bratty’ affair with Charli XCX taking the stage for a sundowner set. As expected she took the Indio grounds by storm but something competing for serious virtual attention was Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet’s can’t-keep-my-hands-to-myself PDA. Ditching the OTT Coachella aesthetic for a chic and chill white-on-white all-American look, Kylie looked like she was there for an uncomplicated evening. Timothee too definitely looked like he was trying to fly under the radar. The two could be seen standing cuddled up, as Kylie occasionally swung back to give him a peck on the cheek and snuggle up to him. Timothee too reciprocated…sort of, tapping his hands on and around her waist. But, that’s about it. And if their viral Wimbledon exchange (if we can call it that, given the actor was basically unresponsive to the beauty mogul’s …
