Zoe Kravitz has been left feeling like she wants the ground to swallow her up after awkwardly taking an accidental swipe at co-star Austin Butler – right in front of him.
When the awkward moment occurred, the pair had been promoting their new movie, Caught Stealing, which was released in theaters on Friday (August 29).
Zoe, 36, and Austin, 34, took a lie detector test for Vanity Fair and she was asked which of the two Sex and the City spin-offs was “better”, And Just Like That… or The Carrie Diaries.
Zoe Kravitz is accused of breaking girl code with Harry Styles and defying Taylor Swift.

She responded, “Neither,” before retorting to “Leave that show alone.” Without realizing that Austin had actually played Sebastian, the main character’s love interest, on the latter, everyone “just stops.”
As a mortified Zoe yelled, “Oh no! ! ! “, he jokingly threw two pieces of paper on the floor. He admitted, “Yes, I was in The Carrie Diaries, but I’m not on that show.”
The actress awkwardly apologized and said she had no idea who he was on the show, which was luckily a result of her being truthful.
The pair’s awkward blunder comes as potential dating rumors are spreading like wild among their friends. In the new dark comedy, they play on-screen lovers, but it seems like this could have also been the case.
Before cameras started rolling, Zoe recently revealed that she and Austin had a break before the action “really helped” with what ended up on screen.
During a pre-recorded chat on Good Morning Britain, she said: “We did prepare, we spent time together, there’s something about when you’re comfortable with someone. We took a road trip to Coney Island together, a bonding experience. We spent time together and I think that really helps.”

He even leant down on her bare waist as he leant down to speak to her during the film’s premiere, where they even engaged in a flirty exchange.
A source told The Sun: “Their chemistry is as good off-screen as it is on it. Austin and Zoe have been keeping it under the radar and aren’t putting a label on anything yet. They are both very respectful of their ex-partners and are just seeing how things go.”
Both actors previously had a prominent relationship with Kaia Gerber and Channing Tatum, respectively.
However, in a dramatic turn of events, she’s also been linked to Harry Styles after the two were reportedly seen arm-in-arm in Rome last weekend. It’s since been reported that they were spotted “snogging like teenagers” while on a date together at a restaurant in London just days prior.

They were alleged to have been on a number of dates this week, but they haven’t labeled their relationship. There is now more rumors, with Harry allegedly throwing Zoe, the Batman star, off her feet.
Harry, 31, and Zoe are said to have spent time together while Zoe is unemployed. According to a different source, there is “clearly an attraction” based on “how public” the two were reportedly kissing after the film’s premiere.
The insider called Harry’s later flying of Zoe to Italy a “nice touch” They did point out that she had a busy schedule while filming it, so the pair are “stealing moments” whenever they can.

Reality TV icon Kim Kardashian has found herself at the centre of a political row after publicly condemning President Donald Trump ’s ICE raids.
The 44-year-old reality star and business mogul, who recently completed her law degree, voiced her disapproval of the operations during an appearance at the DVF Awards in Venice where she was being honoured for her work on prison reform.
But Kim’s comments haven’t gone down well inside the White House, with a senior figure saying the mum-of-four is “misinformed and detached”. It comes as rumours about Trump’s health circulate online.

Speaking to Variety, Kim said: “In the news you hear: ‘Oh, it’s about people who have committed these crimes and they’re trying to help out our country.’ But then you hear about all of the people who have worked so hard to build our country, and so many people that are such a part of our country getting affected.
People I know, I say. People I know, my friends. You first assume that protection has a powerful message, but later you realize that it isn’t actually occurring as it should.
She continued, “It’s really tough, but I think we need to do everything in our power to protect the people who have truly supported and built our country.”
Kardashian’s comments did not go down well with Homeland Security. Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told TMZ: “Ms. Kardashian is misinformed and detached from the very reality of the operations in Los Angeles she has decided to opine on.”
Under President Trump and Secretary Noem’s leadership, Homeland Security has removed from Los Angeles’ streets the violent criminals known as murderers, rapists, gang members, and child pedophiles, McLaughlin continued.
Then she wryly asked, “Why does Ms. Kardashian still betray criminals while ignoring the brave and innocent Americans who serve in law enforcement?”

The conflict comes after Kardashian’s active involvement in a protracted stretch of her advocacy for prison reform, during which she pushed for clemency cases, fought for new laws, and met with lawmakers from all sides of the political spectrum.
She personally worked with the White House to pass the FIRST STEP Act, a bipartisan law that changed sentencing standards and expedited the release of thousands of prisoners.
Kardashian has also been outspoken in her criticism of Trump’s immigration policies. In June, she posted a statement to her Instagram Story calling the raids in Los Angeles “inhumane”.
She wrote at the time, “Great when we are informed that ICE exists to keep our country safe and remove violent criminals.” However, we must speak up when we witness cruel, compassionate people being treated unfairly by their families. What’s right, we must do.

Immigrants are a significant component of American society, she continued, “They are our neighbors, friends, classmates, coworkers, and family.” It’s obvious that immigrants’ contributions to our communities are what drives their growth, no matter where you stand politically. A BETTER method HAS to be employed.
While some Americans praised her for speaking out, others accused her of virtue signalling because of her personal ties to the Trump family. Kardashian is known to be friendly with Ivanka Trump and has previously met both the former president and First Lady Melania Trump.
Ruben Neves, Diogo Jota’s long-lost teammate, has been given the number 21 shirt he once wore for Portugal.
Jota, the 28-year-old Liverpool forward, was killed in a car accident in northern Spain in July along with his 25-year-old brother Andre Silva.
One of the pallbearers at his funeral was Al-Hilal midfielder Neves, 28, who also played for their country and Jota at Wolves.
Roberto Martinez, Portugal’s manager, stated that Ruben Neves will receive the number 21 jersey because it will keep that number on the field and with everyone else.
He is the ideal representative for Diogo because of their close relationship.
In their most recent game, Jota came on a substitute and Neves scored the winning penalty, winning the Nations League title game against Spain on penalties in June.
We are aware of Diogo’s significance for each of us and the way in which we live. Every day, we want to remember him in reverence. He will support us in our efforts to further our goals. We can benefit from Diogo’s example. We will feel his spirit.
Because Diogo wanted to win the World Cup, and we are here to fight and realize that dream, Diogo’s absence is a factor of unity, motivation, and responsibility.
After consulting with his wife Rute Cardoso and other members of the Liverpool team, the club decided to retire the number 20 shirt, which the club had worn for the 20th time last year.
Premier League champions Liverpool take on second-placed Arsenal on Sunday (16:30 BST kickoff), with both teams aiming to maintain their perfect campaign start.

Acting U.S. Attorney Michael M. Simpson has revealed that Daniel Chima Inweregbu, a 40-year-old Nigerian, admitted guilt to a more than $ 40,000 romance scam before United States District Judge Nanette Jolivette Brown.
According to a statement from Shane M. Jones, the public information officer for the United States Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of Louisiana, the United States Department of Justice, admitted to pleading guilty to two of the charges pending against him, including conspiracy to defraud, wire fraud, and using an assumed name to carry out a mail fraud scheme in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 1341, 1342, 1343, and 1349 (Count 1), and conspiracy to commit money laundering in violation of
Inweregbu’s plea stemmed from his involvement in a protracted romance scam aimed at American citizens.
Inweregbu and his co-conspirators carried out a “romance scam” between at least July 1, 2017, and December 16, 2018, using deceptive and fabricated promises and representations to extort money and property from numerous American women, including four victims.
In particular, the statement claimed that Inweregbu and his associates used the alias “Larry Pham” (allegedly a middle-aged man) to draw middle-aged female victims into their social media and online dating profiles.
The co-conspirators, including Inweregbu, communicated with victims via email and online messaging platforms to make an appeal to them for companionship. When the victim responded favorably, he and his associates started fostering romantic bonds that emotionally bind them to “Larry Pham” in the victim’s mind.

Over $ 405,000 was lost to the victims of Inweregbu’s scheme, both in actual and intended damages. The victims’ funds were directed through intermediaries, according to the statement read in part as he and his co-conspirators laundered the funds by engaging in financial transactions with the proceeds of their wire and mail fraud scheme, which was intended to conceal and conceal the nature, location, source, ownership, and control of the proceeds.
Inweregbu could receive up to 20 years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a maximum fine of $250, 000 for Count One. He could receive up to 20 years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a $500,000 fine under Count 12; Additionally, he is required to pay a $100 special assessment fee per count.
According to the statement, Judge Brown will be sent to court on December 4, 2025.
