AceShowbiz - Selena Gomez and Emily Blunt have apparently learned from their experiences. After becoming viral with their respective conversations at the 2024 Golden Globe Awards, the two actresses made sure to be careful of their words at the American Film Institute Awards.
When attending the awards luncheon on Friday night, January 12, the 31-year-old star and the 40-year-old actress teamed up to poke at their Golden Globes dramas. They posed together for a fun photo where they struck the "speak no evil" pose, with their hands covering up their mouths.
Selena shared the photo on her Instagram Story and wrote, "We shall not speak lol." The joke was clearly a reference to her viral moment at the Golden Globes, during which she was caught talking to her close friends Taylor Swift and Keleigh Sperry.
Taylor and Keleigh looked shocked as they listened to the "Only Murders in the Building" star, prompting speculation that she was gossiping about Timothee Chalamet and Kylie Jenner. Selena quickly debunked the rumors, writing on her Story, "Noooooo I told Taylor about two of my friends who hooked up. Not that that's anyone business."
Timothee has also slammed speculation that there was beef between his girlfriend Kylie and his pal Selena. "Of course," the "Wonka" actor told TMZ when asked if he and Selena are "cool." When pressed if Kylie was "being a mean girl and snubbing Selena," he simply said "no."
As for Emily, her conversation with John Krasinski on the red carpet became the subject of debate among lipreading "experts." In a viral clip from the January 7 event, the Jim Halpert depicter on "The Office" let out an awkward smile while posing together with the "Mary Poppins Returns" actress in front of photographers. Some fans were convinced that the actor said about getting "divorce," while others thought that the pair were talking about the weather.
Following the news, the wedded couple reportedly found the gossip "funny and ridiculous." A source told Us Weekly, "There are no issues with Emily and John. They are absolutely not talking about divorce. They think the rumors are funny and ridiculous."
Proving that they remain strong, the pair appeared joyful when attending the 2024 Critics' Choice Awards on Sunday, January 14. The twosome put on a loved-up display on the red carpet, with the "Oppenheimer" star placing one of her hands behind her husband's back and the "A Quiet Place" director wrapping his hand around her waist.
