Sophia Bush
The dichotomous trap of women needing to achieve absolute, contradictory perfectionism rang loud and clear in America Ferrera's now iconic speech in the 2023 Barbie movie and it certainly continues to resonate with Sophia Bush, who has never shied from speaking about mental health challenges.
"I think there's a lot of reasons we're still having this conversation," says Bush, who currently stars in Hulu psychological thriller Count My Lies and Grey's Anatomy (ABC), and is attached to reprise her role as Brooke Davis in Netflix's One Tree Hill sequel series.
"First and foremost, society only functions at the level it does because of women's unrecognized and unpaid labor. So the world is not exactly motivated to shift things in our favor because people feel like it'll come at a cost," she says. "But now we understand because of the data around those things… that if you could snap your fingers and create pay equity across gender lines—everyone would be doing better if women were doing better."
Bush cites a litany of women's rights that have been or are being rolled back. "They overturned Roe. Christian nationalism is on the rise and they don't think women should vote," she says. She points to the SAVE (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility) Act and the tens of millions of married women in the U.S. the legislation would block from voting.

The energy outside Cipriani, in Lower Manhattan, across from the Charging Bull statue on Broadway, seemed conspicuously suspended in a different time. It was as if crossing the threshold into the Financial District sent me back a decade, to the genesis of this current generation's cultural aesthetic—to the lines at VFiles, the SoHo clothing store whose Howard St. storefront once served as epicenter of the nascent fusion of the worlds of streetwear, hip-hop, and high fashion. All of this was because Kai Cenat, the popular Twitch streamer and content creator, was making his runway debut. The fashion show for his brand Vivet's first collection drew a crowd of the current generation's innovators, giving a reminiscent feeling to the last time a popular figure came crashing through the gates of mainstream fashion.
In attendance that night were popular streamers like Jasontheween, Rakai, and Duke Dennis, alongside more traditional celebrity names: Jaden Smith, Luka Sabbat, Lauryn Hill (!). Popular fashion podcasters and journalists from the New York Times filtered through the crowd as well. It reminded me of the pre-pandemic days of fashion week pop-ups in the shadow of Ye's YZY Szn launches, when the crowds outside seemed as consequential as whoever had a seat inside. Social media had given a generation of streetwear obsessives and aspiring artists a way to build their own audiences, and fashion was beginning to accommodate them. At Cipriani, the streamers had brought another audience into the room.

Aaron Rodgers came out swinging against ex-girlfriend Danica Patrick over comments she made about their breakup.
The 42-year-old Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback and 44-year-old retired NASCAR racer dated for two years before eventually splitting for good in July 2020. Their relationship came up in Rodgers' lengthy interview for the Thursday, September 10, episode of the Not Just Football podcast, as he opened up about exes who speak about him in the press.
"No one cares what they have to say until they use my name. I dated two women who **** ody gives a [expletive] about unless they drop my name," said the football star. "They like to say their version of the history, what actually happened, so I'm just this monster of a partner and it's just [expletive] [expletive]. Number one, why you still talking about it, it's been years?"
He then turned his attention to Patrick, saying that when they dated, "She had just retired, she was depressed, and not fun to be around."
"But I didn't leave her, because I was trying to be a good partner," he continued. "Then it was going a certain direction, obviously. There was no intimacy. There was nothing. And I'm buying a house in Malibu and she goes, 'Would you want to buy it together?,' and I said, 'No.'"

Brittany Boltinhouse, the former Miss North Carolina USA 2026 winner who had her ****** le stripped due to conduct that violated the organization's standards, has announced her return to the pageant world.
Boltinhouse, 27, revealed that she has been crowned Miss Global Honduras 2026 and will compete in the Miss Global pageant in Thailand in October.
"Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in, except to convictions of honour and good sense," she shared via Instagram on Monday, August 31. "Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy. — Winston Churchill."
The news comes just four weeks after the Chairman and President of Miss USA, Thom Brodeur, announced the end of Boltinhouse's reign.
"I want to speak to the issue plainly, because our ****** leholders, our state directors, fans and every young woman watching deserves to hear where I stand," he shared via Instagram on August 5. "The Miss USA organization does not tolerate racism, ****** phobia, transphobia nor language that strips any person of their dignity — whoever they are. That is not a policy written for a press release, it is the floor of what it means to represent the brand."

A shoe named after Dolly Parton simply had to be a stiletto — or at least have a high heel. It was no secret that Parton was a fan of sky-high footwear. Christian Louboutin took the country singer's preference for towering heels seriously, naming a family of pumps, mules and platform heels for his friend and longtime muse.
Parton passed away at the age of 80 on Aug. 25, 2026, following a battle with cancer. Not even a day later, Louboutin took to Instagram to mourn the loss, saying that he considered the "Jolene" singer to be "a true friend, a partner in sweet crimes and laughs and ALWAYS a complete inspiration." The Dolly family of Louboutin shoes has followed suit: there are the round-toe Dolly 85 pumps, the peep-toe Me Dolly mules and towering Dolly Alta platforms that are made for more than a "9 to 5" type of day.

In their 14 years of marriage, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have grown their family to six.
Lively, who turns 39 on Aug. 25, 2026, welcomed her first child, daughter James, with the Deadpool star in 2014. Over the next decade, the actors had three more kids: daughters Inez and Betty, born in 2016 and 2019, and son Olin, born in 2023. They keep their children away from the spotlight, rarely sharing photos of their four kids on social media or discussing them in interviews.
"We want our kids to have the same normal life that we had," explained the actress to Marie Claire in 2016. "We don't ever want to rob them of what we had because then we'd feel really selfish."

Charlamagne tha God is drawing a firm line around Brandy after her brother Ray J's boxing match on Saturday night.
Following his unanimous-decision victory over Orlando Brown at State Farm Arena on Aug. 15, Brandy found herself pulled into tense interaction with boxer-turned-streamer Adrien Broner. Charlamagne, clearly unimpressed, spoke out to say she has no business being anywhere near it. "I just don't like seeing Brandy in that mix," he said, characterizing the surrounding drama as a "n***a mess" — his words, not ours — according to a YouTube clip.
Brandy had shown up to State Farm Arena in support of her brother, who defeated Brown on a Salita Promotions card headlined by Claressa Shields and streamed by Zeus Network. During a pre-fight livestream, Broner accused Brandy of snubbing him after she walked into a room and greeted others before getting to him. "She just walked past me, but it's alright," Broner said on stream. In the clip, Brandy is seen acknowledging him before approaching the others in the room, including her brother.
COMPLEX SHOP: Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what's next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.
The singer appeared taken aback by the streamer's reaction. "I didn't walk past you. I spoke to you," Brandy told Broner calmly. She also noted that "the energy in here is interesting" and walked away with her security.

Princess Diana's White House dance with John Travolta reportedly became a famous photograph. The People's Princess was 24 when she spun with the Hollywood star at Reagan's 1985 state dinner. A new source revisited the night and claimed the connection lasted beyond the ballroom. The report pointed to her love of dance. It also included claims that she later corresponded with him from Britain. That frame made the dance feel like a longer story.
According to a RadarOnline report, the dance took place at the White House in 1985. The dinner was hosted by President Ronald Reagan and First Lady Nancy Reagan. Guests included Clint Eastwood, Tom Selleck, Gloria Vanderbilt, and Travolta.
The actor had become famous through "Saturday Night Fever" and "Grease." Travolta later called the moment "a highlight of being in the United States." He also said it was Diana's "favorite moment," according to the report.
Meanwhile, Travolta said the dance was arranged quietly by Nancy Reagan. He recalled being told the princess wanted to dance, but he had to lead. Travolta said, "At midnight, I had to tap her on the shoulder."
He then asked, "Would you care to dance?" The actor said she dipped her head "in that Lady Diana way." Then, "we were off for 15 minutes dancing." He later described it as "like a dream."

MAGA podcaster Benny Johnson said "miserable libtards" better realize the World Cup has been a huge win for President Donald Trump.
Johnson appeared on Fox News' Jesse Watters Primetime on Tuesday night after the U.S. Men's National Team was eliminated from the tournament by Belgium.
The brutal ouster came after Trump openly bragged about calling FIFA President Gianni Infantino in an ultimately successful bid to overturn a red card that would have kept USMNT striker Folarin Balogun out of the Round of 16 — prompting sports fans to call out an alleged "Trump curse" on sports teams.
Johnson told guest host Charlie Hurt that those rooting against the United States have it all wrong — then laid out some new rules for the game:
CHARLIE HURT: Benny Johnson is the host of the Benny show and joins us now. Before we get to NATO, and I do want to get to all that, I want to start with the FIFA uh, soccer game. And the degree to which you actually had Trump deranged Democrats rooting for America to lose. Did you ever think that you would live to see a day where a major political party in the United States would openly root for failure to this degree?

Adam Sandler officiated, which both delighted and confused those who had been guessing who would have the high honor. Swift's brother Austin Swift served as her man of honor and Kelce's brother and podcast co-host Jason Kelce served as the groom's best man.
The event was attended by hundreds of celebrities, athletes and close friends and family, but even after the marriage announcement was made Friday evening, many of the wedding details remained hidden as photos remained elusive — including any hint of what Swift or Kelce wore.
Here is what we know (and still don't know):
Swift had once joked that anyone she had ever talked to would be invited to the wedding and Friday's event appeared to make good on that promise.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's highly anticipated wedding is reportedly becoming even more extravagant, with new details suggesting the celebration may look more like a royal affair than a traditional celebrity ceremony. As speculation surrounding the superstar couple's big day continues to grow, reports claim a massive castle is being constructed inside Madison Square Garden, transforming the iconic New York venue into a fairytale-inspired setting ahead of the rumored July 3 event.
According to TMZ, crews have been working around the clock preparing Madison Square Garden for what is expected to be one of the most talked-about celebrity weddings in recent memory. Construction teams were recently spotted unloading large scenic pieces outside the venue, with some of the equipment reportedly labeled "Garden Party 1 (Scenic)" and marked with the initials "GP."
The reported additions have fueled speculation that the venue is being transformed into an elaborate garden-themed wonderland complete with castle-inspired elements. If the reports are accurate, the setup would fit perfectly with the fairytale narrative that has surrounded Swift and Kelce's relationship since they first went public.
Swift's fans have long been known for decoding hidden messages and Easter eggs, and the reported "Garden Party" labeling has already sparked plenty of theories online.
Some believe the phrase could reference the couple's reported garden-themed engagement, while others have jokingly suggested it may be another clue pointing toward future music from the pop superstar.
