Actor Zac Efron grew up before our eyes, becoming a household name thanks to starring in the High School Musical movies (which are streaming with a Disney+ subscription). But in recent years his younger brother Dylan Efron has also become a celebrity, largely thanks to winning The Traitors Season 3 and showing off his fitness on Dancing with the Stars. Zac's own fitness is the stuff of legend, and recently his trainer posted a photo showing off his huge bicep. Naturally, Dylan took to social media to drop his own very buff photo dump.
Dylan Efron's star power has been steadily growing in recent years. After The Traitors (streaming with a Peacock subscription), he also competed on Dancing with The Stars. Not one to be left of out of thirsty discourse, Efron posted on Instagram, including some shirtless pictures on a boat. Check it out for yourself below:
Holy abs. I guess there's a reason why Dylan Efron was nominated for ******* iest Man Alive, because he's looking absolutely ripped. And who doesn't love a little healthy competition between two famous brothers? We'll just have to wait and see if Zac posts his own set of ab-oriented photos in response.

From acting and music to memorable red carpet appearances, Sofia Carson has created a career that crosses several corners of entertainment. Born Sofia Daccarett Char in Florida to a Colombian American family, she adopted the professional surname Carson in honor of her maternal grandmother, Lauraine Carson. Her interest in performing appeared early, with dance lessons beginning when she was three. Music remained an important ambition as she grew up, but acting eventually provided the breakthrough that introduced her to audiences around the world.
Carson's screen career gained momentum through Disney Channel, including an appearance on Austin & Ally. Her major breakthrough arrived in 2015 when she played Evie, the daughter of the Evil Queen, in Descendants. The successful Disney musical fantasy gave Carson an opportunity to combine acting, singing and dancing, and she returned for its sequels. She later brought several of those skills together again in Purple Hearts, the 2022 Netflix romantic drama in which she starred and contributed to the music.
Her ambitions extend beyond entertainment. Carson has worked with UNICEF and has used her public platform to advocate for young people and humanitarian causes. She has described working with the organization as a longtime dream and emphasized the importance of young people using their voices to support meaningful change. For Carson, bringing artists, activists and advocates together can turn public attention into something more purposeful.
Fashion has become another defining part of Carson's public image. Her style can move from sophisticated tailoring and dramatic ballgowns to futuristic designs and relaxed off-duty outfits. That versatility has made her a familiar presence at major fashion events, where she has attended shows and developed relationships with prominent designers and luxury houses. Her red carpet choices often favor bold silhouettes while maintaining the polished aesthetic ****** ociated with her public persona.
Carson's career demonstrates how a modern entertainer can build an identity across multiple creative fields without being limited to one. Music, acting, advocacy and fashion have each become important parts of her story, while projects such as Descendants and Purple Hearts have allowed those talents to overlap. Whether appearing on screen, performing music, supporting humanitarian work or stepping onto a red carpet, Sofia Carson continues to shape a career built around creativity, versatility and a carefully defined sense of purpose.

Hayden Panettiere, who has died at the age of 36, lived most of her life in the spotlight - from success as a child star to lead roles in hit TV shows Heroes and Nashville - but also endured struggles that went along with the pressures of fame.
Panettiere appeared in her first commercial when she was 11 months old. Her mother Lesley Vogel was an actress and set her daughter on the same path.
By the age of four, Hayden was in US TV show One Life to Live, then at eight joined another soap opera, Guiding Light.
Her natural acting ability was evident, but the burgeoning childhood career came at a cost.
"From a very young age, I lost the chance to have a normal childhood, friends, relationships, and my privacy," Panettiere wrote in her revealing autobiography, This Is Me, which was published earlier this year.

Actor James Woods said he is worried the recent "Muslim invasion" of the USA will be the point where historians look back and say the country took a nosedive into ****** .
He shared his concern about the rise of Islam during a Monday interview on right-wing pundit Benny Johnson's show.
Woods — one of the few outspoken conservatives in Hollywood — said he believed the election of democratic socialist and Muslim Zohran Mamdani (D) as New York City's mayor was "the most dangerous event" in modern American history. He said it signaled the downfall of the nation.
"Look, I think America is the greatest human endeavor in the history of humankind. I think it's in terrible trouble. I mean, the city where the World Trade Center and the people in it were slaughtered and destroyed, how you could ever allow this Muslim invasion and cancer?" Woods asked.
"And they say, 'What are you, prejudiced?' Well, yes. I'm sorry to say it," he continued.

Harry Styles has reportedly been invited to Taylor Swift's wedding, but will not attend.
The pair dated from 2012 to 2013. Styles is reportedly the inspiration behind Swift's track, Out of the Woods.
Swift invited Styles to her New York nuptials this weekend, according to Variety. However, he won't be attending because he is in the middle of his Together, Together tour in London.
However, reports claim that Styles' fiancée Zoe Kravitz will be there without him. Swift and Kravitz are longtime friends, and Kravitz is a credited songwriter on Swift's song, Lavender Haze.
Other high-profile guests are believed to include Bella and Gigi Hadid, Selena Gomez, Sabrina Carpenter, Ed Sheeran and Ice Spice. Miranda Lambert, Kelsea Ballerini and Jack Antonoff are also expected to be there.
According to Variety, official digital invites all contained watermarks with guest names. Each invite came with an NDA. It's believed guests have been told to be in New York City by the morning of July 3 and await further details.

Scott Eastwood has spent decades working in Hollywood, but one recent experience left him questioning how some of the industry's biggest stars conduct themselves behind the scenes.
Speaking candidly during a podcast appearance, the actor recalled an uncomfortable clash with an unnamed A-lister and explained why he believes fame can sometimes erase accountability and lead to costly consequences for everyone involved.
During an appearance on "The Joe Rogan Experience," Scott Eastwood reflected on what he described as some of the worst behavior he has witnessed while working in the film business.
Without identifying the actor involved, Scott explained that the disagreement unfolded after production had already begun on a movie. According to him, the unnamed star abruptly decided they no longer wanted to work alongside another cast member, despite investors having already committed significant funds to the project.
Recalling the incident, Scott said per the Daily Mail, "Some of the accountability in this industry is just unbelievable."

Reports based on recent flight records say Taylor Swift's private jet may have produced more carbon in about three months than the entire 2024 legs of the Eras Tour did.
Figures reported by International Business Times UK from aviation tracking service JetSpy say Swift's Dassault Falcon 7X returned to service in early March and has since flown 81 times, spending 169 hours airborne.
The aircraft reportedly burned about 60,560 gallons of fuel and generated roughly 639 tons of carbon pollution. That likely exceeds the roughly 557 tons **** ociated with the entire 2024 stretch of the Eras Tour, as calculated by the IB Times.
The plane's activity rose sharply over the spring, going from four flights in March to 19 in April. It also had an average of one flight per day in May. Some of those flights reportedly allowed Swift to appear in Los Angeles and New York within a day of each other.
Critics say the issue goes well beyond one celebrity because private aviation is among the dirtiest forms of travel.

Prosecutors will not try Harvey Weinstein on a rape charge for a fourth time after his accuser said she did not want to testify again

Over the years, Justin Theroux has built a successful career as an actor, screenwriter, and filmmaker, earning recognition for projects ranging from television dramas to major Hollywood films. While much of the public's attention has focused on his work on screen, Theroux's personal life has also attracted considerable interest. From long-term relationships to marriage and, more recently, fatherhood, his journey has unfolded largely in the public eye while remaining surprisingly private by celebrity standards.
Theroux's longest-known relationship began in 1997 with costume designer Heidi Bivens. The couple spent more than a decade together and maintained a relatively low-profile partnership throughout much of that time. Their relationship eventually came to an end in 2011, marking the conclusion of one of the actor's most significant chapters. Shortly afterward, Theroux's name became linked to actress Jennifer Aniston after the pair worked together on the comedy film Wanderlust. Their relationship quickly attracted widespread media attention, becoming one of Hollywood's most talked-about romances.
The couple became engaged in 2012 and married in a private ceremony in Los Angeles in 2015. Despite their popularity as a celebrity couple, Theroux and Aniston consistently emphasized the importance of maintaining privacy. After nearly three years of marriage, they announced their separation in 2018. Notably, both described the split as amicable, and they have remained on good terms in the years since. Their respectful handling of the breakup was widely praised and helped avoid much of the drama often ****** ociated with high-profile celebrity separations.
Following his divorce, Theroux largely kept his romantic life out of the spotlight. While occasional rumors linked him to various actresses, he rarely commented publicly on speculation surrounding his personal relationships. That changed when actress Nicole Brydon Bloom entered his life in 2023. The couple gradually made their relationship public, and their romance progressed quickly. They became engaged in 2024 and married in Mexico in March 2025, choosing a celebration that reflected their preference for a more private approach to fame.
A new chapter began in 2026 when Theroux and Bloom welcomed their first child together, a baby boy. The couple announced the news through a joint social media post, sharing their excitement about becoming parents for the first time. Friends, fans, and fellow celebrities offered congratulations as the couple embraced parenthood. For Theroux, who has often spoken about valuing privacy and meaningful personal connections, fatherhood represents a significant milestone in a life already filled with creative achievements. As he balances family life with a successful career, this latest chapter appears to be one of his happiest yet.

Scott-Vincent Borba helped build one of the most recognizable beauty brands in America, e.l.f. Cosmetics. Now, the millionaire entrepreneur is trading makeup for the Catholic priesthood.
Borba, 52, co-founded e.l.f. Cosmetics in 2004 and helped transform the affordable beauty brand into a multimillion-dollar business. But despite financial success, celebrity connections and a luxury lifestyle, Borba said he felt increasingly empty, according to interviews with CBS News and Today.
"Was I created just to work and to party and to repeat and then die?" Borba recalled asking himself during an interview with CBS News.
That question ultimately set him on a path that led away from Hollywood and the beauty industry and toward the altar. After years of wrestling with his faith, Borba was ordained as a Catholic priest by the Diocese of Fresno on May 23 in his hometown of Visalia, California, according to People and Los Angeles-based TV station ABC 7.
"We ran around with the likes of Paris Hilton, and partying with Kardashians and just doing up the Hollywood life," Borba told ABC 7 in May. "I was a poster boy for luxury living. I was not in any which way humble. I was very prideful."

Football. Soccer. The beautiful game. Whatever you call it, it's inescapable. The 2026 FIFA World Cup kickoff is still days away, but you can't scroll online without being served tunnel fits, Mbappé memes, stadium tours and … is that Channing Tatum in a blond ponytail?
Log off all you want, but there's no hiding from the soccer hysteria IRL either. McDonald's has World Cup-themed Happy Meals. The grocery store is selling Christian Pulisic-collab Ritz crackers and cleat-shaped mac and cheese. Everyone's wearing a jersey and arguing about GOATs, flops and Lamine Yamal's hamstring.
The only thing left to do is join 'em. Here's your guide to the pre-tournament discourse — from the players and fans swarming North America to the storylines tugging at our heartstrings to the pop culture tie-ins worth getting caught up on. At the risk of getting an Elmo-style trolling: We just hope everyone has fun.
While there's a lot of early hype, the kickoff takes place on June 11 and — strap in — because the final isn't until July 19. So pace yourselves accordingly.
There are three host countries this year: U.S., Canada and Mexico. Within that, the action will be spread across 16 cities, including the New York metro area, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas and Kansas City.
