Just two months after the unexpected pair were first photographed out together, The Weeknd and Angelina Jolie are still hanging out in public. On Saturday night, they were captured together leaving Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica after spending two and a half hours dining in a private section of the  restaurant.

This is the second outing between Jolie and the “After Hours” singer after the first spotting sparked dating rumors, but neither Jolie, The Weeknd, or sources close to them have indicated they’re romantically involved.

Following their first spotting in July, a source close to The Weeknd told Page Six that their bond may be more business-focused.

“They’re clearly not trying to hide [the dinner date],” the source said. “He’s definitely focused on getting to the movie business. He has the new HBO series he’s starring in.”

That HBO Max series is called The Idol, which the singer is also co-writing it. The show “follows a female pop singer who starts a romance with an enigmatic L.A. club owner who is the leader of a secret cult,” Variety wrote. He will also be an executive producer on the series with Reza Fahim and Euphoria‘s Sam Levinson.

When they were seen together earlier this year, Jolie and The Weeknd were seen having another dinner at Giorgio Baldi, though they left separately. They were spotted again at Mustafa the Poet’s private concert about a week later, but they were not photographed alongside each other as Jolie was at the concert with her teenage kids, Shiloh and Zahara, while The Weeknd was there with friends.

This week in politics, the vibes are messy, alarming, and straight-up confusing. From late night TV being snatched off the air to vaccine policies getting hijacked, it’s giving “WTF is going on?” Let’s break down the headlines everyone’s talking about inside. First Amendment on the Chopping Block Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show has been pulled from ABC, and Stephen Colbert’s show? Cancelled completely. The official line is murky, but the bigger picture is loud. Free speech is being tested under the Trump administration. While Trump once said he’d “honor” the First Amendment, recent moves suggest he’s working off a remix version that only benefits him. Case in point? The Guardian reports his $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times. A judge already tossed it out, saying Trump’s claims about “false content” violated federal rules. Still, the fact that these lawsuits and cancellations keep happening has people questioning the future of free expression in America. CDC Shake-Up Sparks Health Concerns Meanwhile, over at the CDC, things are getting political fast. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has basically turned the agency upside down, firing all 17 members of the vaccine advisory committee and replacing them with appointees that include vaccine skeptics. On top of that, the CDC director is out, high-level staffers are resigning, and decisions about vaccine safety are suddenly more about politics than science. Public health leaders are calling this move dangerous, saying it dismantles independent oversight just when Americans need clarity most. According to California’s government website, they are one of the few states pushing back on the federal government’s stance. California, Washington, and Hawaii aren’t taking it lying down. The states have formed an alliance pushing back on the feds, promising to keep vaccine guidance rooted in science, safety, and transparency. Their health officers are reviewing guidelines from trusted medical groups like the AAP and ACOG to ensure communities still have access to clinically recommended vaccines. Trump & Xi Meet About US TikTok’s Next Chapter And then there’s TikTok. After years of “will they, won’t they?” drama, Trump announced that he and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping approved a deal for TikTok’s U.S. operations. According to BBC, the plan reportedly hands control to a group of U.S. investors, sidestepping a shutdown. Trump called the call with Xi “productive” on Truth Social, and even, teased a face-to-face meetup at the APEC summit in South Korea this fall. From free speech battles to vaccine wars and TikTok drama, this week in politics has us all asking the same thing: WTFGO?
