Lupita Nyong’o had a fling with Chiwetel Ejiofor, now she’s seeing Jared Leto?

wenn20930624

I’ve heard some rumors about Lupita Nyong’o over the past few months. Rumors that make me like her even more. Some people say that Michael Fassbender was pretty much in love with her and she shut it down. Some say that she’s more of a maneater than her gamine ingénue vibe would have us believe. Some say that Lupita’s free-love style personal life has caused some consternation at home, with her family. None of this may be true. But it’s going around and if even half the stories are true, I’m even more in love with her. So, Page Six has this completely average story about Lupita maybe/sort of hooking up with or spending time with Jared Leto. To me, that’s a blah couple just because I think she could do way better. But buried in the Page Six story is this little piece of gossip: Lupita had a fling with Chiwetel Ejiofor?! OMG.

An Oscar romance is blossoming between fellow awards nominees Lupita Nyong’o and Jared Leto. The pair, who are up for Best Supporting Actress and Actor, were spotted alone together at a table at the intimate Crosby Street Hotel early Wednesday evening.

They were cozying up between attending numerous Fashion Week shows and events, and according to a witness, “They were huddled at a corner table together looking very close.”

Another source said Nyong’o was staying at the Soho hotel for a night after flying into town from LA for Calvin Klein’s fashion show.

There have been whispers during Hollywood’s awards season about the off-screen chemistry between Leto and Nyong’o. The two have stayed close together at the Golden Globes and other events leading up to the March 2 Oscars. They even appear side-by-side on the cover of Vanity Fair’s Hollywood issue with Julia Roberts and George Clooney.

The afternoon after meeting with Leto, Nyong’o made a splash at Fashion Week, where she sat between Anna Wintour and Naomi Watts at Francisco Costa’s Calvin Klein show at Spring Studios. Nyong’o also currently graces the cover of New York magazine’s spring fashion issue and W magazine’s movies issue. Leto was spotted at a show by designer Jeremy Scott.

Both actors are nominated for their work in issue-oriented films. Leto plays a transgendered role in the AIDS drama “Dallas Buyers Club,” while Nyong’o is the breakout star of “12 Years a Slave,” as the obsession of a demonic slaver played by Michael Fassbender.

Meantime, sources said Nyong’o had an on-set romance with her co-star Chiwetel Ejiofor while they were filming the drama for Brit director Steve McQueen. But we’re told the love match fizzled once the movie wrapped. Leto has previously been linked to Cameron Diaz. He landed in Paris Thursday and tweeted, “Going on a jetlag powered run.” Reps for Nyong’o and Leto didn’t comment on their cozy meeting.

[From Page Six]

In my fantasy, Lupita rejected Michael Fassbender FOR Chiwetel Ejiofor, then she broke Chiwetel’s heart when the film wrapped. Not that I’m eager for Chiwetel to have a broken heart or anything – it doesn’t matter much because he’s currently dating a pretty non-famewhore Canadian woman named Sari Mercer – but I am eager to think of Lupita as the kind of woman who breaks hearts wherever she goes. As for the idea of Jared and Lupita… well, it’s fine for an awards season fling. Then it’s on to the next one, Lupita.

    LOL loving the idea of her saying no to Fassbender. My love of him has waned.

  2. Kiddo says:

    That gold dress does not work for her, the cleavage looks bad, although the color is good.

    • Meaghan says:

      I came here to say that. It’s horrible! Did she not look in a mirror(

    • MCraw says:

      I don’t like the dress, but the cleavage looks great. She looks strong, not flimsy. To each their own I guess!

    • FLORC says:

      She’s too thin in the chest for that dress.

      And Leto? Oh Lupita. The cracks are showing much too soon on you.

      • Cali2002 says:

        ^^^LOL!

      • Dana m says:

        Some of us girls with small / thin chests are usually self-conscious about wearing low-cut chest bearing outfits. Good for her that she looks so confident wearing it. I love it. She’s totally owning that! Personally, I could not wear that, I hate the way my chest area would look. But I can show you some legs to compensate 🙂

      • littlestar says:

        While I was reading the article I thought, “Okay, Jared Leto, not so bad, maybe she’s having fun”… Then I scrolled down and saw the picture of him with that big cowboy hat on and screamed “DOUFUS”! Lupita dear, no no no!

      • mercy says:

        @Dana,

        Some of us buxom gals wish we could wear tops like that lol. That dress would look all kinds of wrong on anyone with more boobs.

        It’s not my favourite style, but Lupita looks great — straight off the runway.

  3. Hannah says:

    “They even appear side-by-side on the cover of Vanity Fair’s Hollywood issue with Julia Roberts and George Clooney”, which I’m sure was their choice… This story seems like bull.

    • Greata says:

      Agree…LOL! What took the tabloids so long…..SMH!

      • AG-UK says:

        Yes exactly sounds like a story as I can’t see Chiwetel cheating on his gf but who the hell knows. Plus Leto is touring thru early July. I don’t like the gold dress either but she is lovely. I think whomever she goes out with or is seeing won’t be public knowledge I have a feeling she is smart enough to keep her business to herself and I don’t blame her.

  4. Virgilia Coriolanus says:

    Ooh, I really love the color and cut of that last dress….I’m still wondering how she gets her hair like that, though. One event it’s shaved down, and then the next event, there’s a little pompadour. Anyone know?

    God, I hope she turned down Jared Leto. His friendship with Uncle Terry notwithstanding, but he has a really annoying voice, and that turns me right off.

    • V4real says:

      LOL I was wondering the same thing about her hair

    • Artemis says:

      That and the stories about how he consistently chokes and rapes his groupies. Plus the fact that you can type ‘Jared Leto is a douche’ in Google and get way too many legit hits about his awful behaviour.

      But he’s a man and people forget top easily. It also helped that he was off the film scene for a while so he can start his image fresh. So it’s not surprising that he cavorts with people like Richardson but then again, is it REALLY a measure of his personality when many famous people posed for him? The dude is ‘in’ right now.

      • AG-UK says:

        I have no idea what/who the Terry guy is I know who he is but not followed him. I get what you mean. He went out with Cameron and Scarlett and they don’t seem like 2 women you can play around like that with esp Cam she could kick his a..s as she is bigger then he is (:

      • Artemis says:

        Do you remember that classic photo of him ignoring Scarlett when she was kissing him because he was too busy checking his phone? Douche. Or the kissing photo of him and Hilton. Yuck.

        He was also rumoured to cheat on Cammie and being jealous of her career (which is why they broke up). He also cheated on Scarlett and Ashley Olsen. And apparently, he dated Tila Tequila, which considering his hook-up with Hilton, doesn’t seem far-fetched! His behaviour legitimes these rumours for me. I’m not deceived by the pretty.

        EDIT: and his fling with Lohan which ended up in her ‘lost’ diary back in the day. Oh the gossip.

      • PrettyTarheelFan says:

        Wait, what? He consistently rapes his groupies? (I’m at work, and googling Jared Leto is a rapist just seems like a bad idea.)

      • Kiddo says:

        @PrettyTarheelFan, I think they mean Terry Richardson, not Leto. But maybe not.

      • Artemis says:

        Nope, I mean Leto. See my answer below to Sullivan.

        Search for groupie threads, Leto tea. I found some Tumblrs by accident too.

      • Mark says:

        It’s on the internet so it’s true, this is the one thing that makes me sorry for famous people. You can write anything on the internet about them and it’s true, even accusing them of rape is fine. It just shows how gullible and stupid human beings can be.

      • Artemis says:

        @Mark:

        Of course not. Like I explain downthread, there are too many similarities with the accounts of ex-gfs. He used S&M in his later work and he attacked EW in public by trying to choke him.

        Furthermore, all those groupie accounts come from fans between 2004-2013, why do they ALL lie so consistently and also before it he used S&M in his work (Hurricane video anybody?) ? Sure I believe some of them lied, but all of them? Why would fans who idolise him and the band, try to get with him and then go online to tell a story about how horrible their idol treated them? Probably because they all share the same experience, they congregate on forums to talk about it.

        I think this is a case where women are believed to be loose and it’s their own fault that it happened. Leto is an actor + a ‘rockstar’. You really think he never slept with groupies and treated them horribly? ‘key…

        I did some ‘research’ and one fan account was somebody who frequently slept with people inside the industry (including Ivan Wilzig) and she didn’t hide her identity or the famous people involved. She could easily be sued if what she’s saying isn’t true. Nobody would put their ass out there if there wasn’t a shred of credibility to it.

        Also, let’s say the groupies did lie, what is known is that he has a horrible personality and there’s enough evidence to back it up that is out in the open as told by other people so believe what you want. I don’t believe him to be a good person.

      • km71 says:

        Artemis – Wow I can’t believe your post. What a malicious reply. Jared Leto and Lupita should sue you for such a vile post. People like you give the internet such a bad reputation. Why do you believe everything from a tabloid? Same thing with the JP and Aniston threads – you guys think everything you hear is true. This site makes FF seem mild mannered!

      • Artemis says:

        Uh why should Lupita sue me? I want better for that girl. I don’t know her but I’m sure she’s a good person until I hear or see otherwise.

        So Jared Leto choking Elijah Wood isn’t vile? That’s not from a tabloid, that’s confirmed by Wood himself. Of course women, his groupies, would lie about being choked during right? Because he’s such a nice guy 😀

        EDIT: even when victims themselves (see Dylan Farrow) explicitly state their abuse, people still don’t believe it so it doesn’t even matter if the source is legit or a tabloid, people believe whatever they want to.

        Plus you’re on a gossip site, why are you dragging tabloids but enjoying this gossip site? Gossip is not always lies you know, it’s there to expose that what celebs don’t want to see exposed so deal with it. I’m sorry I burst your bubble.

      • km71 says:

        Artemis – sorry but you didn’t burst any bubble – I stand by my post. Don’t worry you will get yours …..what goes around comes around. It’s called karma.

      • Artemis says:

        Glad to see you’re not even trying to address the fact that he choked one of his peers in public because the dude didn’t like his music. Again, why are you on a gossip site trying to defend a celeb that is a known douche??? Like you are actually threatening me over a rich person :D. Unless……HI JARED, don’t choke me please 😀

        Plus, if you see all the rich douchebags we gossip about getting away with abuse and other filth, you would know that karma doesn’t exist. So I’ll surely be fine.

      • Hiddles forever says:

        I don’t know about groupies or if what they claim is true, but I remember very well that Elijah Wood was interviewed after he had been attacked by Jared Leto. And Elijah was always very low key and never did anything for publicity…..

        Sorry to say this but Jared Leto is a huge douche.

        He probably can act but he is still a douche, period.

      • km71 says:

        Artemis – here is a quote from the Popsugar article:

        “But things escalated from there. “I guess he thought I was laughing at him,” Wood says, “but I was more shell-shocked and telling people around me, ‘Whoa, I just got told off by Jared Leto for not liking his band.’ And that’s when he came back and grabbed me.”

        No where does it say he tried to choke him – you may call this gossip but it is slander. I hope you realize this is a serious accusation on your part. Not to mention what you said about the groupies. For your sake I hope you are young and inexperienced in the ways of the world. True this is a gossip site but there are limits and you have crossed over them.

        And the karma part – believe what you wish.

      • Artemis says:

        @km71

        Fact is: he ATTACKED a celeb who isn’t known for provoking and being violent. Unlike Leto who has so many articles online on his aggressive behaviour towards all kinds of people. Maybe you think ‘grabbing’ isn’t a big deal or that because EW said it was grabbing, it can’t possible be interpreted as choking but it is still violent behaviour in the end. What exactly is your point? You think grabbing is less bad than choking and therefore he couldn’t possible do it to young girls?

        Maybe you should read the Ian Watkins case. Everybody knew about his behaviour too, you could also find his abuse online yet he got away with it for so long and ended up in jail after many many young scared impressionable victims who were also not believed when they started to speak out online.

        Leto’s groupies have been online saying this for nearly 10 years now too yet here you are trying to dismiss their accounts? Why? Why on earth would they make up such lies about a rich man they are half in love with? Why isn’t Leto suing all these forums and Tumblrs? You know, the original source!? Why are you so mad because I bring this to people’s attention? I believe those girls, you believe something else. If I would believe in karma, I would be on the good side because I stick up for young girls who are being used and abused. You are on the side defending an aggressive man despite having evidence that proves he’s aggressive. Goodbye.

      • Steff says:

        Hi Artemis, I thought you might find this video ( and the related ones ) interesting. I am a doctor in psychology and, joking aside, I easily recognized in Leto all the symptoms of a Narcissistic personality disorder ( at the highest level ). Since I’ve read some comments about his infamous sexual behaviour, here’s what Vaknin ( narcissist himself ) says about narcissists and sex. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=og1AWnzN5u0
        ; )

    • Liv says:

      God, I hope it’s not true. Leto seems so full of himself, what a jerk. The only good thing about him was Jordan Catalano.

      • Sullivan says:

        Yeah, I hope it’s not true.

        “Chokes and rapes his groupies”? I missed this in the news. Were charges pressed? When did this happen?

      • Artemis says:

        Well you can find it on forums or Tumblr. Underground and all. But many different ones re-iterate the same things and he’s know to have a lot of groupie sex so I believe.

        Basically he chokes his groupies and doesn’t stop when they tell him they don’t like it (anger and control issues). He likes it rough and some are hesitant to call it rape. He has a big D (as said by a pornstar ex, Lindsay in her diary and the groupies), likes em young, likes to be called ‘daddy’ during, is rumoured to be bi.

        And before anybody says ‘it’s just rumours’ (which is normal, it is ‘gossip’ after all), he tried to choke Elijah Wood (during some awards show I think) because EW said he didn’t like 30 Seconds to Mars. This is confirmed by EW himself who didn’t understand.
        Two, he has lyrics referring to choking ‘I’ll wrap my hands around your neck so tight with love, love.’ (Up in the Air, see short film). He’s kinky for sure.

    • LAK says:

      VC/V4REAL: We used to do this at school in Africa because we weren’t allowed to have long hair (or even altered hair) to disguise the length.

      Her hair is natural and the afro is thick, that helps. If you have silky (or relaxed) hair, it doesn’t work.

      -You wet the hair and then comb it into shape (not brushing)

      – you push/pat it down with your hands as it’s drying (naturally) for as long as it takes to dry, making sure it’s tightly packed down.

      No styling products required because the shape will hold.

      So your hair can appear longer or shorter from day to day, but if you have a very thick afro, it works a treat.

      I hate (and have always hated) the shaving that she does, because she also does it to her hairline, but if you take a closer look at it, she’s colouring after she initially shaved it into style. She doesn’t always colour the hairline, which is why you see it sometimes and not others.

      In short, her hair is shaved and patted into shape, and other times it’s shaved, patted and coloured in along her hairline.

    • Kim1 says:

      Her hair is tightly curled so when you use heat it can be blown out,flat ironed,etc stretching it out to its full length.They have to use products like oils,pomade,etc to keep it from reverted back to tightly curled.Any Afro can be blown out.I use a texturizer,it expands the length of my hair.

    • I just googled stuff about Jared Leto and his choking proclivities–I tend to believe it. So thanks for bringing it to my attention, Artemis.

      From what I read, he is into ‘playing rape’, daddy talk (do you want to call me Jared or daddy??), spanking, and choking. Apparently he’s a huge asshole, whose moods turn. One girl said that he kept asking her (before and after he choked her during sex) if she was okay. Other times not–apparently what he does is he gets the girl, and just does it–doesn’t ask or talk about it at all–no consent whatsoever. He’s also a huge wh0re who has a list of girls that he calls on the regular in certain cities, he regularly picks up women at his concerts–according to this one chick, she got on his tour bus with three other women, and the band made two of the girls get off because they weren’t attractive enough.

      And yes, anyone can write stuff on the internet, but as Artemis pointed out, these stories are from the same time period, and why would they all lie about hooking up with their idol–the majority of these women are HUGE fans of his. One girl he hooked up with, while he was with Cameron Diaz, bought his cd and listened to it all the time, while she was waiting for him to call her–and this is after he choked her without permission.

      If even half the crap is true, he’s lucky no one’s filed charges against him. But then again, why would they? They already have people asking them what did they expect when they hooked up with him? To be treated like a girlfriend i.e. with respect? I would expect a one night stand to be safe and consensual, and not expect any less simply because the guy I was banging had a huge d-ck and was famous.

      • Artemis says:

        Seriously, I can’t believe people calling this slander when so many young girls are speaking out. Even when they would go on TV, I bet some of them who are defending Leto would still spin it and defend this known douche like they do with Woody Allen etc.

        It’s like people refuse to learn anything because they’re unwilling to believe a rich male is abusing people despite all the people speaking out! There are reports about his violent behaviour towards other people (in clubs, photographers) etc like you mention VC, the guy has mood swings. S&M and control is referenced in his work and he has no problem subtly mentioning his kinks.

        These girls are still fans, this is the biggest clue that should make people believe them. No fan would admit he did all of that if it weren’t true! If what I said is slander, then why is nobody suing all these girls? It’s literally common knowledge at this point and easy to be found but because some people don’t know it, it’s ‘slander’ when I re-iterate it?

        You know, the rumours about Ian Watkins’ behaviour were also on the internet for close to 10 years. Really, LEARN people. Pretty rich males can be monsters and they are allowed to be because people turn a blind eye and/or victim and slut-shame. For shame. This is the reason why so much STAYS on the internet and not in a courtroom!

        Thanks VC for applying some common sense 🙂

      • I can’t unsee what I read–I found four accounts of women who said that he didn’t stop when they asked, or that he just started choking them and they went along with it–and I only went on THREE different sites–two of them were just a single, tumblr post talking about it, and the other was a groupie forum. And I’m not even sure if these women enjoy having sex with him, because according to one person, he just does it really hard, like a jackrabbit. That doesn’t sound like it feels good. And he also apparently gets attitude if insist on him wearing a condom (which he puts it on, but still)–so I imagine he’s swimming in unknown STDs, gross.

  5. Mimz says:

    I LOOOOOOVEEEEEE this!!!
    I called it on Twitter, and I think I tweeted a photo of lupita and jared to Bedhead, yessss!
    But anyway its hollywood, we’ll see what else comes up. You know when there’s gossip as such, it is because she’s truly making it!!
    Love Lupita!! 🙂

  6. CaribbeanLaura says:

    Random celebrity hookup rumours? Ah Lupita you’ve arrived. 🙂

    • Lark says:

      I’m not sure the Jared thing is that random. They seem to stick together at the pre-Oscar parties, and a few of the film journalists I follow on twitter have made off-hand comments like “Jared and Lupita were chatting.” There are several very touchy photos of the two, and he’s on her instagram several times…Plus, he studied film at some art school and she was a film student before she went to Yale for her MFA. I could definitely buy that there is something going down between the two.

      • LL2 says:

        I don’t think they are dating but I agree with you not random at all. Jared even went over to her table at the Critics Choice awards to talk to her and her brother. They seem to make a point to interact with each other at each of these award shows and I see the chemistry but since Lupita seems to be low key I suspect she would want to date someone from outside of Hollywood.

      • Zadie says:

        How does she seem low key? She’s been in the spotlight for 2 months and she’s been everywhere.

      • LL2 says:

        @Zadie Other than doing awards season promo and magazine covers, which is part of the process, I don’t see her out much. I meant low-key in terms of her private life. Her closest friends are non-Hollywood types.

    • sesame says:

      Hehe I was about to comment the same… Lupita, girl, you’ve definitely arrived in Hollywood, when Page Six is covering (true or not, probably not) love scandals about you!!

  7. Maritza says:

    That bronce dress does her no favors, not a good look.

    • Zadie says:

      Yeah, her sternum is very prominent, she shouldn’t wear such deep cuts. It reminded me of Claire Danes. The colour looks great on her skin, though.
      Then again, I don’t understand the fascination with her fashion choices, the have been very blah so far. I think she gets the praise because she is incredibly beautiful, not because of her dress sense.

  8. Lark says:

    I think the Fassy rumors only started because he likes to date women of color mostly, although it’s a rumor I could easily believe. He comes across like such a dumb bunny though, a dumb yet sexy bunny and I don’t think that’s her type. Chiwetel is sexy as hell and comes across like a quite, reserved intellectual and I could see those two hooking up. People have been talking about her and Jared for a while, she has several instagram pics with him and there are pics of them behind the scenes where he seems completely smitten with her (grabbing her waist, staring at her) and she seems into it too. He studied film at some art school, and I believe she was a film student somewhere before she went to Yale for her MFA. They seem to hang together at all the pre-Oscar shindigs. So I could see it, plus they’d be hot together.

    • MsT_Shady says:

      @Lark I’ve heard the same things. Plus, Chiwetel has his own preferences- he seems to go for women of European descent anyway (which is totally fine of course).

      Additionally, isn’t Lupita ‘on the down-low’ as a gay (or at least bisexual) woman? I read that somewhere and I wouldn’t be surprised. She’s such a eloquent, elegant person who draws you in but doesn’t vomit out all her personal details.

      • AG-UK says:

        You know I think I heard that as well… my friend is in Fashion PR and met her but I remember the conversation but I think I thought he we referring to someone else. Now I think it might be her.

      • LL2 says:

        I agree about Chiwetel, he’s not much different from most black british men. They tend to date white or bi-racial women so I’m not buying this story. I would more likely believe something happened between Lupita and Steve Mcqueen since they have chemistry and are always complimenting each other in the press. Lupita and Chiwetel, however, hardly talk about each other. I don’t buy that they were anything other than co-workers.

        As for the gay rumors, I have been spending some time reading and watching the Kenyan Media and I haven’t yet seen anything alluding to Lupita being gay or bi-sexual. The Kenya acting industry isn’t big so if there is some truth to the rumors, I should find something eventually. I suspect she is currently in a relationship with someone outside of Hollywood. The person I suspect is a guy, however.

      • Artemis says:

        He dated Naomie Harris though.

      • LL2 says:

        @Artemis

        Yeah, he did but that was years ago. All his love interests since have been non-black. I have seen him paired with at least 3 non-black women since Naomie. I wrote that he tended to date white and bi-racial women, not that he has never dated a black woman.

    • ichsi says:

      I agree very much on the dumb sexy Irish bunny not being Lupita’s type xD She’s his though, petite with a great butt, so I can picture him flirting with her but giving up after a while (they looked very friendly together and not a bit awkward)

      I have never heard the Elijah Wood story before. I love him, and Jared Leto just became dead to me.

  9. V4real says:

    Oh no; wasn’t Chiwetel with his current flame before 12 years started filming? Please tel me I’m wrong.
    I don’t have a problem with Lupita and Jared hooking up. All we know about this PYT is what we see on the surface. She could be just as superficial as some of us when it comes to looks. Maybe she sees something in Jared that others don’t see; if we believe the story.

  10. Sullivan says:

    Perhaps her fling with Leto ended when she saw him in that get-up. The hat. The clothes. All wrong. In fact, it buried Leto’s pretty.

  11. SonjaMarmeladova says:

    Why would she be too good for Jared, he seems like a decent bloke?

  12. huna says:

    I recalled a quote because of the post :
    “At a 2005 class reunion, producer Chris Hanley told his former classmates that “almost every leading actress in all of [his] 24 films has slept with a director or producer or a leading actor to get the part that launched her career..”

  13. Kim1 says:

    Wasn’t Leto trying to get some woman’s # a couple days ago?
    So now Lupita is having a on set fling with man with a GF?
    Welcome to world of Hollywood Gossip,Lupita

  14. GizmoG says:

    Wow, if true, go Lupita! As long as nobody is getting hurt, have some fun, why not??

    However, I thought I read a story, somewhere (lainey, maybe?) that Leto’s friend tried to get phone numbers from two models (ostensibly for Leto), but was turned down….

    who knows, maybe he and lupita were a fling- or nothing more than some heavy flirtation

  15. Maria T. says:

    I don’t care if Jared Leto is a douche, Jordan Catalano can ALWAYS get it. “I just like how he’s always leaning. Against stuff. He leans great.” You work it, Lupita!

  16. harpreet says:

    Guys, i doubt this, really, but check out Sari Mercer’s site, Chiwetel’s gf here:
    https://sari-mercer.workbooklive.com/Wbl.mvc/Page/Photos

    Wonder how they met…

    I love how open Kaiser is with her crush on Lupita. It makes me feel less weird about my crush on her. I too imagine her as a beautiful and mysterious heart breaker!

    And Jared Leto? Just no….. But I don’t know about passing up the Fassdong. I mean, you have to hit that at least once right?

  18. LAK says:

    Once the rumours about your love life start, you’ve definitely arrived.

    When they change to gay rumours, she’ll definitely be a star!!

    • name du jour says:

      lmao that is soooo true

    • Kim1 says:

      I have already heard gay rumors about her.For some people short,natural hair =Gay.I have also read BS like she looks like a boy.
      Does she have a Penis? Which was here on CB
      Anybody who looks different from the standard,the”norm” gets this BS.

    If she were to have a fling with anyone this awards season, my money would have been on DiCaprio.

    • lunchcoma says:

      It’d be kind of unusual for him to date an actress, especially one who’s taken seriously. He doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who wants his girlfriend to show him up.

    • Cali says:

      Oh please god no! That would kill my crush on her a little bit.

      I’m honestly digging the possibility of her and Jared.

    • V4Real says:

      Oh she’s too old for Leo.

    • mercy says:

      She’s too old, not blonde, and if this story is true she would be too much for him to handle.

      • LL2 says:

        It’s not true. Chiwetel has been dating his current girlfriend for a while and he usually doesn’t date black women. I think the last black woman he dated was Naomie Harris and that was years ago. I suspect the Lupita has someone as well. She lives with someone and when asked about her love life by USA Today, she stated the she pleaded the fifth. Clearly whoever is writing these stories doesn’t actually know anything about Lupita or Chiwetel.

        Leo seemed impressed with Lupita and even complimented her but I agree with “lunchcoma”. I always thought that if Leo were to date a non-model, it would be Kate Winslet. They’ve been close for years now and seem to have a really good connection.

  20. Lea says:

    Chiwetel and Lupita would have been gold!

    • DJohnson says:

      Oh yes! I sense real chemistry between those two. They are more compatible than others mentioned. Omg. Check out the way they look at each other. Go back to their interview on the View. Also check out the sag interview on you tube and how they looked at each other when he walked out. Or the Travis smiley interview when she quoted him and the smile that went across her face when Travis commented how
      She had nailed it. Review some of the photos during late last year. IMO he places his hand around her waist with confidence of a boyfriend!

      • LL2 says:

        Chiwetel has a girlfriend and like many black british actors, he doesn’t usually date black women. I think the last black woman he dated was Naomie Harris and that was years ago. I wouldn’t read too much into their interactions. I suspect Lupita has someone already. When asked about her love life by USA Today, she stated that she was going to plead the fifth.

      • DJohnson says:

        You seem rather adamant with this message. I agree, men of African descent have been conditioned and programmed to think features foreign to them are the norm and desirable. Maybe a film like 12YAS will give them pause to stop and examine some things. If the tables were turned, and white men pursued black women exclusively, task forces would be established to determine why and how to remedy the situation. I stand behind my message. Chiwetel and Lupita would make an awesome couple. There is genuine chemistry between the two of them. They have a lot in common. Her relationship with Steve McQueen is more of mentor / mentee flavor. He is with her on the circuit because he is the director of 12YAS.

      • LL2 says:

        Its not presumptuous to look at his past girlfriends and see most have been white.
        Thinking that they would make a good couple is not the same as saying they possibly dated , like this article is saying or saying they will date in the future. I’m just saying its unlikely. But if I’m wrong, you can be the first to tell me “I told you so”.

    • Denise says:

      @LL2- Page Six said Chiwetel and Lupita had a fling, not that they specifically dated.

      • LL2 says:

        @Denise

        Lupita is currently living with someone she has known since her days at Hampshire College and Chiwetel has been with his current girlfriend for a while. I’m not going to just take page six’s word that they had a fling. I will need a photo or some other kind proof. It looks like someone just decided that because they are both black and worked together, they must have dated. Who’s to say that Chiwetel didn’t have a fling with the woman who played his wife instead?

      • LL2 says:

        Or maybe Chiwetel and Alfre Woodard had a fling. Maybe Chiwetel and Lupita had flings with each and everyone of their co-stars. Maybe the movie set was just one big orgy of free love. The possibilities are endless if we are pulling romantic liasions out of thin air without producing evidence to substantiate our statements.

      • DJohnson says:

        Interesting comment. There are plenty of examples of people meeting on the set and starting a relationship and some that ended in marriage. Pitt/Jolie come to mind.

      • LL2 says:

        @DJohnson

        I’m waiting to see this Chiwetel and Lupita pairing (pictures, a kiss, etc.) that you are pushing so hard for. Until then, I don’t buy it.

      • Denise says:

        @LL2- Page Six is a gossip page. The information could be true or not true as they don’t deal in pictorial evidence. About the topic at hand, the supposed Chiwetel and Lupita fling, I don’t have any information on that, so…It’s whatever. I don’t need to prove anything or defend the honor of these actors.

  21. Adenike says:

    I’m definitely not digging her and Leto! She deserves better! I thought her boyfriend was the one with whom she was pap’ed at the Knicks game… Has anybody else seen those pics?

    • Alexis says:

      Leto is not my cup of tea, but if she likes it, I love it. Also, if she does have a boyfriend, he should look out. I’d be displeased by these photos and stories; Leto appears to be getting his swerve on…

  22. Leah says:

    Chiwetel and Lupita yes! Lupita and Leto ugh no! That would make me think less of her if she was interested in someone like him.

  23. Sam says:

    She is the black Gwyneth Paltrow, an upper class snot.

  24. Penelope says:

    She is so beautiful and I love her style (though I agree with the comment upthread that the gold doesn’t do a thing for her cleavage).

    Jared Leto is cute (though he’d look better with shorter hair), talented, and seems like a nice guy. In what way is he not “good enough” for her? Good for them if they are finding happiness together!

  25. DJohnson says:

    Chiwetel and Lupita!!!! Yes. Check out how he looked at her when she recieved her award at the sag. I love it. I love it. I love it!!!!!
    Back to reality. Probably not. I do see Lupita having many men take a lot of interest in her. While Beautiful physically, the draw is more her intellect, values, poise, confidence, etc. a breath of fresh air.

  26. mercy says:

    I’m not into heartbreakers, unless they stick it to other heartbreakers. In that case, more power to them. 😉

    All these guys seem like the type to play around. If she’s just looking for fun, that seems about right. But I would tell Fassbender ‘no’ too if I were I in her shoes. Handsome man and fine actor, but he’s too old, has a rocky past, and he moves too fast.

  27. Lilacflowers says:

    This relationship with Leto supposedly started at the Golden Globes? Really? So, why was he all over Emilia Clarke a week later at the SAG awards?

    • Rubio says:

      They were on the cover of Oscar Wrap and seemed close in the bts pictures. Seems like they met last november.

  28. Dalovelee says:

    Me thinks this is all geared for award season and once the Oscars are over this will be dust in the wind news

  29. Diamond says:

    If the rumor is true about Chiwetel and Lupita’s fling , I can only hope they will reunite . They really look great together . Also, haven’t you heard his current girlfriend is nothing more than a fame whorer and it’s quite noticeable on the red carpet . She’s all over him as if she’s the star. She definitely bashing in his glory . I’ve seen several articles where she had been cut out of the picture. One web site referred to her as an actress/model but from what I’ve seen she’s not on Lupita’s ( fresh out of drama school) or Chiwetel’s level so what did she do to bag a guy like Ejiofor . One can only guest.

    • LL2 says:

      I doubt it since Lupita is currently living with someone. Someone she has known since her days at Hampshire College. Page six clearly knows nothing about Lupita’s private life and is making things up.

  30. Steff says:

    I hope Lupita just wants some fun because that’s the only thing someone like Leto can give her. He might just add her to his list of fu*k buddies. She’s smart enough to understand that, so I hope she’s using him too 😛
    Eventually, she’ll find out about his narcissistic personality disorder and be freaked out. He is so ridiculously handsome yet he has huge bonding issues and you can’t possibly have a relationship with him, HE has a relationship with you. It’s all about him. Bah, what a waste of beauty!

  31. homegrrrrl says:

    COME ON! That’s what my seven yr old said when I tried to explain the resurrection. And i’ll use it here too, because she seems to have more substance than to be interested in Jared Leto. He finds his playdates after school, right? Doesn’t he date a la Juaquin Phoenix, like, teenager dJs? I guess she’s young, but I thought she was educated, deep, smart?

  32. Kimberly says:

    I don’t believe this story for one second. And who are these so called ‘sources’ ? I always laugh whenever those gossip mags and sites mention ‘sources’ to back up their fabricated stories.

    Wasn’t it last week that the media made up some silly story about Brad Pitt and Lupita hooking up or something? I guess this week it’s Lupita and Chiwetel and Lupita and Jared LOL. My poor Lupita can’t get a break.

    • LL2 says:

      I’m glad someone here sees through this crap. Everyone else seems to buy it hook, line, and sinker. I guess that is good for the tabloids. Someone has to buy their crap.

      • Kimberly says:

        Lawrence was the it girl last year and……Lupita is this year’s ‘it girl’ of the awards season so, it’s expected that she would be the target of the media with all these ridiculous stories circulating. Hence the reason, I refuse to believe this story.

  33. Katherine says:

    It’s my understanding that Lupita was quite open about her sexual preference while at school. It’s her business and I can see why she’s keeping her private life private at this stage of her career and during an Oscar campaign. People are still not as open minded as we’d like them to be and she doesn’t need the scuzzy media exploiting her private life and taking the focus away from her acting.
