Us Weekly: Zoe Kravitz is “figuring out” the Michael Fassbender situation
Over the past few weeks, there’s been a steady stream of mutterings and gossip items about Zoe Kravitz maybe/probably boning Penn Badgley. This is both good and bad news. The good news is that the gossip indicates that whatever Zoe and Michael Fassbender had is pretty much over (or completely over). The bad news is that Zoe is trading down, in no uncertain terms, and it’s always sad to see a young woman do that. Yes, I didn’t like that she was with my Fassie, but he loved her for a short time, and she could do better than a Gossip Girl. Anyway, I’ve gotten to chance to look through some of this week’s tabloids, and the only ‘bloid with any information on Fassie, Zoe and Penn is Us Weekly. Note to tabloids: Fassbender is BIG NEWS. Okay, he’s not huge news or anything, but he has a rabid, devoted following, and there should be more time devoted to him. Here are the scraps of a story that we will just have to cling to:
Penn Badgley has been zooming all over NYC with Zoe Kravitz. Penn, 24, and Zoe, 22, had dinner at Five Leaves in Brooklyn on July 16, left the July 18 NYC Friends With Benefits premiere party in a cab together at 1:45 a.m., and then caught a showing of Horrible Bosses the following day.
Does this mean it’s over for Kravitz and her X-Men costar Michael Fassbender, 34, who have been dating since last fall?
“She is figuring it out,” a Kravtiz source tells Hot Stuff. “It’s not a black or white thing.”

What. The. F. SHE is figuring it out? What about Fassbender? Is the subtext here that Fassie has already “figured out” what HE wants? Hint: He wants to bone other girls! The thing about Fassbender is that he’s not a Justin Timberlake (mama’s boy who feels the need to have an “official girlfriend”) nor is he a Leonardo DiCaprio (mama’s boy, kind of gross and immature about very young women). Fassie lets it all hang out. Fassie does not feel the need to please a public with expectations about how he should conduct his sex life. He’s very open about being a charming, devilish sex god.
Once again, though, I do end up feeling for Zoe. Bedhead and I were theorizing about what went down between Zoe and Michael, and Bedhead pointed out this Twitter feed that she thinks belongs to Zoe. Back on July 16, Zoe (or someone) tweeted, “I wonder how one can be so confident in the relationship working when it began on cheating lies.” And “My selfisteam is sh-t level low.” We think that Michael is in London, doing whatever he wants with whoever he wants, and maybe he called Zoe and gave her a weird breakup line.
By the way, if you’d like to see the first images from Shame, go here. They’re kind of meh – no full-on “O” face from Fassie. He’s playing a sex addict in that film, you know there should be some exquisite O-faces.
