A source says, “Nothing would make Kurt and Goldie happier than to set Kevin up with one of their Aspen friends, but the problem is that Kevin is a massive workaholic and perfectionist who kind of hates socializing and partying just for the sake of it. Kurt and Goldie are like everybody in Kevin’s life – they want him to find love and if they can help out in that department, they’re gonna try!” 

RadarOnline.com claims Denzel Washington is allegedly being pressured to attend anger management classes after a series of public outbursts. An insider says, “He’s wound so tightly, it’s not healthy. It’s a disturbing thing to see someone of Denzel’s caliber losing it on a red carpet all because someone tapped him on the arm. The feeling is that he could have handled it better. He’s known to be extremely unpredictable. He’s very well respected in the industry but he’s a complicated man. It’s great that he managed to give up drinking, and he did it on his own too. But flying off the wall in public at real or imagined slights is not a good look, and the feeling is he needs professional help to find better ways to handle these situations. It’s a grueling schedule. Obviously, the stress is getting to him and he’s snapping at every little thing. He needs to calm down and take a chill pill.”

There’s no drama, which is something he’s dealt with a lot in past relationships, but with Tiffany things are smooth sailing. They’ve been together more than four years now, but the shine hasn’t worn off at all, Robert still lights up when she walks in the room. She’s such a wonderful mom, she’s very hands on and organized, the house runs like clockwork. It’s no secret Tiffany would love to be his wife and a lot of people are predicting he’s going to pop the question soon. He’s madly in love and wants to give her everything she asks for.”

The Globe says Timothée Chalamet is allegedly avoiding Kylie Jenner’s family. A source says,  “Kris, Kim and Khloé can’t understand why he’s so antisocial and downright snobby towards them. They’ve extended endless invites to family gatherings, fancy restaurants and weekends away in Palm Springs. Timmy appreciates that Kylie’s family is trying to get to know him, but he’s wise enough to be aware that they almost certainly have ulterior motives, like getting him onto The Kardashians and using his name and connections for networking purposes. Once in a while Timmy obliges but he’s rarely there longer than an hour, and any time he can find an excuse to bail, he does. As far as being wrapped into the Kardashian world, he’s got zero interest whatsoever. Timmy’s seen the likes of Caitlyn Jenner, Kanye West, Lamar Odom and so many other dudes who’ve been ruined once Kris got her claws into them. He’ll be damned if that’s his path.”
