Poor Minka. Forever side chick.
Yeah :(. And she doesn’t seem to have much of a career either. She’s very beautiful, so I wonder why she isn’t bigger than she is now?
She’s not a very good actress? I know that means nothing but she also has no…charisma? Theres nothing really there besides being really pretty.
She is enrolled in culinary classes
She was good in that show Almost Human. It was one of those shows that got cancelled with a following trying to bring it back.
Though she’s always the pretty girl who doesn’t know she’s so pretty.
Didn’t things take a dip post Jeter and his parting gift that keeps on giving…cough.
Is it unduly bitchy that my only contribution to this conversation is the observstion that minka really shouldn’t wear those jeans?
Lol t.fanty
You’re in the right place 😀
You’re seriously wondering why she isn’t bigger? Maybe you should watch cinematic masterpieces like “The Roommate”, “Searching for Sonny” or her cameo in “The Butler”. Her acting is absolutely atrocious and robotic. Her personality is bland, almost fake. She’s very lucky that Friday Night Lights paired her with Taylor Kitsch, who besides the two leads was probably the best actor on the show and managed to generate chemistry with everyone – male, female, child, ball, dog, beer bottle, whatever. She had no chemistry with mealy-mouthed uncharismatic Scott Porter by comparison, and she’s widely considered to have been the show’s weakest link by many of its fans. I’m not even bringing up her annoying voice or Charlie’s Angels and Almost Human.
Thank you @RLY? for bringing me some Riggins to start the day. Taylor Kitsch is everything.
I recently watched John Mayer ‘ s LA concert blu-ray (2007)—Minka was sitting with John backstage between sets. Minka is everywhere.
Why do we need a remake of A Star is Born? The first remake with Queen Judy Garland is perfect enough already. I DON’T LIKE THIS.
This is not cool Cooper! That scene were Esther is singing for no one. That scene is perfect as it is.
Make something original. Stop remaking films that were amazing as they were. Why not remake a film that tanked. Make it better. Instead this seems lazy and trying to capitalize on the success of others as if it was your own.
Hahahahaha
Awkward but I can’t stop smiling about it.
I’m also still laughing about the Golden Retriever who can’t catch. What a way to humiliate your dog people.
I can’t stop laughing because it is staged!!!!! Someone is trying to make minka jealous…
I expected a better PR game from Evans, especially considering he has an openly gay brother. Why choose allegedly a beard for a “girlfriend”?
they look like brother and sister.. a big brother and his little sister..
he would lookk wayy better with me… its a shame he doesn´t know me …yet
Daphne & Fred Forever!!! They’re adorable.
Ariana Grande Latte’s impression of Celine Dion is so sad compared to the awesomeness that Christina Augilera pulled off impersonating Cher, Britney, and Shakira. She is so good it kind of made me love her again.
Hooking up with Lilly Collins is so beyond random. I didn’t picture her as his type.
I don’t care what anybody says about Uggs, those things are comfortable and WARM! We had a ROUGH winter here and I’m glad I had a pair.
Well, Chris’ PR team is desperately trying to clean up his image (after all those other relationship rumors), before AoU comes out. His message board on IMDB is rumored to now be micro-managed by someone who is deleting all comments about his personal life, unless they praise he and Lily together. It’s odd. These two were rumored to be dating two weeks ago, but there was no proof, just a “source”. Everyone was like “pics, or it’s not happening”, then BOOM… we got pictures. Very well crafted.
Yeah, just for the record… I posted a comment on these pictures on the E! Online website. It wasn’t a mean comment really… I basically just said that these two are awkward together and look more like brother and sister. And that she is really pretty but has zero charisma or sex appeal and is super bland. That comment was deleted within hours and I noticed a bunch of other comments that were not praising them as a couple were deleted as well. Sooo, not sure what that means. I just don’t get why Chris would need a PR relationship at this point.
Not again. Shades of Someone else who has a pair of posts today. What other rationahip rumors? The page 3 girl?
@Nessa, because there’s enough drama surrounding Jeremy Renner and his personal life. Marvel/Disney needs to keep one of their golden boys in line. Lily is harmless. She’s not a wild party girl. She’s a self-proclaimed non-drinker/smoker. She loves Disneyland. She’s the precious daughter of the beloved Phil Collins. She’s all about high fashion. Despite being and looking a lot younger than Chris, it makes him seem likeable to be linked to this cute, simple actress. There’s no controversy!
Lily plays the PR game well though, just as much as Minka. So, this is good for Lily, too (she has a movie coming out, I believe). Everybody needs positive attention, apparently.
Cleaning up what image? I thought he was a wholesome, “I tell my mom everything” type
He doesn’t have a bad image. He is definitely still the frat boy living in his Mom’s house back in Boston type of guy. His dating life has been filled with rumors the last three months. I can see it being cleaned up to look… innocent and basic (so no possible questions about Lucy Pinder or the lunch date with Lindsey McKeon). And being linked to someone as vanilla as Lily Collins is good. He was linked to Sandra Bullock last year around the time Captain America: The Winter Soldier came out. It’s spring… New movies are in the air… the PR relationships are in full bloom.
This is not “cleaning up” his image per se… If you google Lilly Collins ” dating” history, you will know …
Okay, I’ll play the conspiracy game: what if it’s Collins’ people doing the editorial deletes?
Can’t wait to hear what Lilac has to say about this!
It is all PR. Neither of my husbands strays.
Well, I can only comment on one of your husbands. If you send Capn Sexy over, I can confirm his fidelity one way or another.
Lilac runs a tight ship. She makes them call her ma’am.
I don’t give a sh* if people think they’re ugly, Uggs are a f*cking NECESSITY if you live in a cold weather climate.
I do LOL at celebs wearing Uggs when it’s 80 degrees out, though.
..and after laughing, I get angry because I would LOVE to walk out of my house in a t-shirt and sandals, as I’ve been living in parkas and snow boots for the past three months.
I wore flip flops when I put the trash out last week just because there was no snow on the path for the first time in forever. I didn’t care that it was freezing out. I just needed to do it
I bet that felt luxurious.
lilacflowers
This NE winter/early spring has been really hard on everyone. People have been noting all day how they wore a short sleeve shirt or a spring coat outside. It’s wonderful! Flip flops. Good for you!
I swore off to my husband the winter wreath would stay up until the weather proved it deserved the spring door wreath. Like that was going to shame spring into happening… I like to think I did my part.
I found a little snowglory blooming in my yard this evening!
I’ve found that Sorels are MUCH better (and cuter) in the cold and snow, but that is just me. They are super warm. Bonus that they don’t get as dirty as UGGs do.
Ha ha haaaaa….that’s funny.
And congrats to Lady Sif on her engagement!
Look at this adorable PR relationship. Lily and Chris totally give off big brother/little sister vibes to me. But, they’ll probably work something out. Chris is a total frat boy. No surprise he’d go after a girl who looks like every 19 year old college kid out there (yeah, I know she’s 26). Poor Minka… She’s the daughter of a musician who has been replaced by… the daughter of an even more famous musician.
“Look at this adorable PR relationship”
Ha hahahaha
Awesome shade!
Ps: Chris Evans, let’s talk. Meet me at coolidge corner after April 15th.
Gah – I used to love in Coolidge Corner! That Brookline reference just made me so happy!
👍
Forgot to add: … And have a 🍷 at regal begal.
More like Storyville 😉
@kitten: it works too! Anywhere over here (Mija cantina, champions, yardhouse, lawsdone bar). This photo -op calls for a Chris Evans operation: #Bostonianintervention!
If he shows up, we can donate for Christopher’s Haven.
Poor James Lafferty wasn’t famous enough.
They look awful together. I do think they’re on a date, but not much more. I want to find Evans attractive, but it’s not happening. The muscles and body is hot, but the face always look like he could tear up at any moment…
Lily dates a lot, but it’s rarely covered. So, meh.
This whole PR pairing looks so staged, rushed and random to me. Idk, the timing is awfully suspicious and those pictures look very awkward. Chris Evans strikes me as a horndog who burns through women like most people go through a can of Pringles, kinda like Fassbender. Lily Collins doesn’t really fit his usual type. They didn’t even met at the VF after party since he was attending Madonna’s party that same night. Funny how that story keeps changing.
I think his team is just trying to do some damage control after those Lucy Pinder rumors went wild by setting him up with a nice/harmless young girl like Lily (who is used to contracted arrangements after Zac Efron, Taylor Lautner and Jamie Campbell Bower) and conveniently before Age of Ultron comes out. Lily’s movies are always bombing and I’m sure her team is also looking for anything/anyone to raise her profile at this point. How surprising that they are both repped by CAA, both works for Disney. That relationship benefits both parties career/image-wise.
How serious can it be since both Chris and Lily will be off to shoot films all over the world starting next week? And what are the odds of Minka Kelly showing up at the exact same time and place as Chris & Lily? Stalking much? Is she the one who called those paps? She’s gone full Gone Girl. Smart that he finally called things off before she poked holes in one of his condoms. I bet she hopped in her car with such glee when she found out that Chris was going to be there. How far can you go for some cheap self-promotion? She ain’t cute.
They headed back to Lily’s apartment afterwards? Like… who would even know that? LOL. Whose PR team slipped up and gave too many staged details? Their body language alone is so casual. It looks like they’d have zero chemistry. What would these two even talk about? Disneyland? Growing up listening to Phil Collins? That time Lily was in kindergarten and Chris was hitting puberty? I mean, if it’s real, then whatever. Get it, girl.
I can’t believe Minka was there at the same time, and she looked horrible. What a bummer.
I can’t picture them having vanilla sex after a Disney marathon while “Sussudio” is playing in the background. I just can’t. Seriously, Lily looks like she celebrated her quinceañera days ago.
Listen Chris, if you take her out to dinner and she has to sit in a high chair she’s too young for you bro. And if she’s still hanging out with Selena Gomez, you need to look at your life & choices.
I’m giggling over the photos of these two. I’d like to imagine Chris was waiting on those steps like, “Hold up, Lily. Gotta make sure I can spot my ex before we walk together”. I’m not catching any romantic vibes from these two, just PR desperation. I’m guessing Chris can’t score with ladies his own age.
I think he’s scored just about every woman his own age in LA to a point no one his age wants to go out with him, so he has to settle for the younger ones. Besides, women his own age are probably looking for Mr. Right to settle down with…which he is soo not ready to, no matter how many times he says it in interviews.
where are you getting these information from? Are there some tumblr-blogs about him I need to know? 😀
I don’t think Chris will ever settle down. I’ve always gotten vibes from him that he would end up being that 50 year old guy, hanging in the clubs, trying to pick up younger women, probably telling them that be was once Captain America, lol.
And well, well, well…
Either Chris and Lily paused on these steps to let enough time to the paps around to get their pictures taken trying damn hard to pretend they’re flirting and having so much fun…or Chris was desperately trying to make Minka jealous when he spotted her (she unfollowed him on Twitter after he was caught with Lucy Pinder). Either way it’s effed up.
I wonder why a private and anxious guy like Chris would have diner on the patio in front of the paps and his thirsty ex unless it was for PR purposes. Otherwise he would have gotten outta there faster. I don’t get any chemistry from these two, just awkwardness and desperation. Homeboy seemed so nervous and uncomfortable. He doesn’t look that into her. These pictures are kind of weird. In most of them you could fit an elephant between them.
Now, Minka Kelly showing up tragically-dressed with a friend she pulled out of bed is a big no-no lol. You can actually see that when she found out they were going there she put the first thing she could find and ran to catch them (and called the paps while doing so, or maybe they called her). Overly attached ex-girlfriend arrived already spotting the lenses and smiling from ear to ear.
I didn’t think of that. i just laughed at the coincidence of it all. Guess I’ve been living in a smallish college town too long. There are only so many hang outs around here and running in to people you know is the norm most of the time. Did she really intentionally crash? Classy.
I’m gonna go with Minka trying hard to get Chris back in her bed…again. 🙂 And Chris doing everything he can to put her off. It sucks her gig Almost Human was cut, I actually liked that show. Once again she’s got nothing going for her so now she’s taking culinary classes, because the easiest way to get a man is through his stomach and Chris has mentioned he loves to eat and probably doesn’t know how to cook. Lily on the other hand was just papped doing groceries on her own, maybe she knows how to cook?!
All this just seems like silly pr love triangle, I think they all need to grow up and stop playing games with each other.
That’s really what makes it painfully obvious this is a PR contract. Chris doesn’t ever publicly address his personal life, especially who he may or may not be dating. So, we are supposed to believe that these two met a month ago and are ready to declare their relationship? And I think it’s even in question whether or not he was at the Vanity Fair party.
Also, these pictures have the look of being staged. They are waiting on those stairs to be photographed, making sure to give the paps time to get the shot. In other pics from that night, they are both looking directly at the camera at one point. I mean, Chris would have never done that with Minka, and they were actually together for years!
I am disappointed that he is playing these games. He should be beyond that at this point in his career.
I honestly wasn’t sure it was a PR relationship. I thought, “she went to the VF party, flashed her bum, Cap likes a nice butt, and true love wins!” LOL
Except she has no bum! She’s built like a 12 year old boy!
See, guys, Lily doesn’t need her dad to get ahead anymore. She’s got Captain America.
Is this cokehead really wearing a hat that says, “Natural Addiction”?
*chortle* Nice catch lol
He’s still doing coke? I bet his brother got busted buying drugs for him. No wonder he’s dating Snow White. You think Lily knows about “The Derek Jeter herpes tree”? #thegiftthatkeepsongiving
Chris Evans is a mess.
He suffers badly from social anxiety. Makes me wonder why he agreed to this. Especially after what went on with pap friendly Minka [I can’t hold down a job so I date famous people] Kelly.
A friend of mine worked at a TIFF event and said Chris was high as a kite and spent a good chunk of the night basically hiding in the basement. After some time at the party he began fully melting down about having to face the public while so high and it took people about 20 minutes to coax him out to the car. He must have felt even worse when his third rate Before Sunrise rip-off got panned by critics. I’m thinking he’s going to fade away once the Marvel contract is up.
I’ve heard similar rumors (that he allegedly does drugs), which makes me wonder why Lily “I don’t smoke or do drugs or drink” Collins would associate herself with him. A lot of people look up to her for not giving into that peer pressure, so dating Chris is baffling. My guess is she is naive and views Chris as Captain America…
I dont get why people keep bringing up the age difference. This isnt the first time couple in Hollywood with an age difference. There are tons! According to its standards, an 8 year age difference is hardly one to discuss. Also, Lily is pushing 30 years old!!! She is not some cute young 18 year old college freshman who is wet behind the ears. She is young, yes, but at an age where she is mature enough. I see nothing wrong with a 26 year old grown adult woman and a 33 year old grown adult man dating. If if he was dating Margot Robie who is actually a year younger than Collins, I wonder how many would bring up the age difference? The age difference only gets brought up when the the woman has neotonic features, like Lily.
Girl, we know you don’t get the criticism over the age difference. But, the reality is… I’ve known a few friends in their mid-twenties who have dated guys in their thirties. The only time it worked was when they had mutual interests, friends or beliefs. Otherwise, it didn’t work out. Sometimes love just ain’t enough. Sometimes guys go after younger girls for a reason, and younger girls go after older guys for a reason (and vice versa) that aren’t about love… People are always going to raise eyebrows when the age difference is pushing a decade. It does not matter how mature or intelligent someone seems. It just how it is. I’m 30. I’m not the same person or as mature as I once thought I was when I was 26, lol.
I thought Margot Robbie was at least in her early 30’s. Huh, learn something new everyday…
I am a firm believer you grow every year. I can believe you are not the same person you were at 26. 4 years have passed,how could you be? We get wiser each year. We make mistakes, gain experiences, and learn even though we may not realize it. Their age gap is significant,but it could be worse. A 33 year old man dating a 26 year old woman is not an eye raiser. It shouldnt cause for an uproar. i really think this has more to do with her youthful appearance to many. If this was margot robbie or even elizabeth olsen who are both younger,would the age difference be brought up So much?
@britt – “The only time it worked was when they had mutual interests, friends or beliefs.” I mean, this pretty much applies to every relationship, does it not? It’s rare for a relationship to last if the two people have absolutely nothing in common.
I think Britt is implying that those factors are usually a must with a significant age gap, or it definitely won’t work. I’ve seen relationships with a small gap work with none of those factors.
My friend dated a guy who was 35, and she was 27. She dumped him, because he pulled the “I’m older, I know more/better than you” ALL the damn time. They had a lot in common, too. So, that sucked.
Sure, but I’m saying that it’s a must no matter what. Maybe I’m just viewing it too broadly because to me “interests, friends or beliefs” covers everything important in a relationship. It’s so broad (from my perspective) that when you say that you’ve seen it work between people without any of those factors, I wonder how that’s even possible since that to me implies that they clash on literally EVERYTHING. I personally have yet to see a healthy, lasting relationship between people who don’t at least agree on the really important things, like kids or monogamy, lol.
I just don’t get the appeal of this dude at all. The SJP/SMG/FPJ stuff makes me feel olllllld.
Minka was lucky to get away unscathed. Having sex with chris evans would be like eating an entire loaf of week old wonderbread with no beverage permitted.
Its just funny how the age difference only gets brought up with young women with neotonic features,but yet these same people would say zero about them if she was an older looking 26
Don’t get too caught up in this, lol. So Lily inherited a Peter Pan gene. Unfortunately, she looks like a girl Chris snagged from a college dorm. If she looked older, I’d still question why an almost 34 year old is “dating” a 26 year old. It would be no different if Chris was 28 and she was 20. Age gaps (like 5 or 10, or in their case, 8, years) can be a real game changer in a relationship. My husband is 9 years older than me. Age was the elephant in the room for a long time.
Criticism will come with the territory. It doesn’t matter if Lily looked 19 or 30, or if Chris looked 25. Nor does it matter the personality (maturity). Some people probably feel like your 30’s are a time to settle down, and 20’s are to have fun and find yourself. So… there’s that. Perhaps people are questioning intentions. But, in this case, it is all PR. So, who cares!
But it is different than if they were 28 and 20. Your brain is fully developed at the age of 25. A ~10 year age gap at that point really shouldn’t matter unless one of the people acts much younger or older than they really are.
You keep using the word “neotonic” (neotenic) to describe Lily’s juvenile features. Neonety does not apply here. She just looks young. Didn’t you say in another post that she looks her age? Now, you are pointing out that she has juvenile features.
Or maybe Chris just looks old. Haha. Either way… Total bro/sis looking relationship going on here.
I agree with lala. The age difference gets brought up because Lily looks younger than her age. To me she looks no more than 19,despite her being 26. People probably assume she is younger than her actual age. truth is she is closer to 30 than 19. i think people who do know her actual age, downplay it and act like she is younger than her years. with more mature looking women like margot robbie or dakota johnson, their actual age gets overlooked. lily could be 30 years old and still people would make a big deal about their 3 year age difference lol

I wish he’d stick to his guns and not let Marvel push him I to this (I’m not at all buying it’s for real). Wasn’t the charity enough?
Angelina jolie and brad pitt are 13 years apart. angelina was around lilys age when she divorced billy bob thorton who is 25 years older and hooked up with brad pitt.
If lily was dating harry styles or justin bieber i wonder would people sideye lily for dating a 21 year old. The age difference would not even be brought up.
I’d side-eye anyone who dated Bieber, LMAO.
Yes i used neotonic and still say she looks mid twenties.
her skin elasticity gives away her age. the skin doesnt lie.
You are very compassionate about this whole age thing, lol. You must be a big Lily fan. It’s okay. It still smells like a big PR relationship. And, like others have said, they throw off a big brother taking his sister on a date vibe. No need to argue about it. That is how it looks.
I liked him and Minka together.
I keep coming back to this thread because there is so much smart shade throwing at these two! It’s been a while I haven’t seen this on CB.
Wtf is this? Another pathetic stunt? If I were him, I’d try to stay clear of washed up bimbos, untalented famewhores and 14-year-old looking beards for hire for a little while. It’s not like he even needs that kind of publicity. Why does he always pick these basic hacks with no personality and struggling careers? He better settle down while he still has some hair left on his head. Also they need to stop trying to make Lily Collins happen. She can’t act (at least from what I’ve seen her in). Her whole career is pretty much based on who her father is. Sometimes nepotism and being pretty just isn’t enough. No matter how hard she tries, she’s still a boring box office flop. All her previous relationships either seem very fake/obvious bearding or just plain PR. She certainly upgraded though, same kind of cokehead but at least this one is straight. Still, Evans can do much better than that Efron & Lautner’s pancake assed sloppy seconds. What a waste.
This screams PR, because Lily is known for that. She gets photographed almost everyday doing mundane things (like Minka Kelly), and thrives on the paparazzi keeping her relevant. It also seems very PR, because “sources” came out and declared they were dating two weeks after they met. It seemed very fast and forced, and attention seeking. Plus, Chris is super private, and if there weren’t any photos of them together, why come out and make a fuss about dating each other? It took a good month and multiple sightings of him and Minka together before their sources came out and confirmed their relationship. There was a “source” on a People article who said Lily was seen going into his house. I mean, seriously? Also, someone on his PR team is deleting negative comments on IMDB regarding he and Lily, and their relationship being PR. It is like they are quietly protesting the PR rumors, which seems to me like the rumors are true. This is making Chris look like crap… It is blatantly try hard.
I don’t give a rat’s butt who celebrities date, but dang… She look straight outta high school. I can’t look past that even if she is 26. How’d he go from Jessica Biel to Minka Kelly to Lily Collins? Is he a big Phil Collins fan? How weird that Minka was there though… out of all places… That’s hilarious.
Lily reminds me of, like, Shailene Woodley or Jennifer Lawrence. Same pixie haircut, except she’s not into bone broth and bugs (Woodley) and Doritos and farting (Lawrence), she is all street art and high fashion. Just another 20 something actress in Los Angeles trying to make herself interesting or quirky. She is quite the departure from the girls Chris usually fancies.
What?? Completely random! Chris has been under the radar for years, why are we getting all these desperate random hookup stories now? ఠ_ఠ
I’m not buying whatever this is either. I bet that’s Lily’s PR team at work again. She’s been trying to happen for a while and it doesn’t seem to be working out. She lost some weight, got one bad soccer mom haircut and became a bobblehead. She is as cookie-cutter as it gets. Definitely meh. She really looks like standard beard fare. Real or not it’s not like it’ll last long – because let’s be real that Chris Evans gets more generic ass than Fenway Park’s toilet seats! He’ll move on to the next in no time. Also, he has a big movie coming out. It’s PR.
