Genie Bouchard is teaming up with 7UP for a new campaign tied to the brand's latest citrus shake-up. In an exclusive interview with The Blast, the former tennis star explains why the cheeky concept appealed to her and how its message connects with her own experience of doing things differently.
That connection runs especially deep for Bouchard, who says many of the social media choices she was once criticized for have since become standard for athletes.

Genie Bouchard is getting behind 7UP's playful push to give lime the spotlight after years of living in lemon's shadow.
The retired tennis star spoke to The Blast about what drew her to the brand's new campaign, which accompanies the launch of 7UP Lime Lemon. The reformulated soda puts lime ahead of lemon in its flavor profile and has inspired an entire tongue-in-cheek campaign built around the supposed influence of "Big Lemon."

Jane Fonda and Barbra Streisand have led tributes to the late Gloria Steinem.
The trailblazing feminist activist died at her home in New York City on Wednesday. She was 92.
Following the sad news, Fonda issued a heartfelt statement via Instagram.
"Gloria, in her graceful, kind, and deeply intelligent way, changed the world we live in," she wrote. "(Gloria) had a clever, often funny way to say just what was needed to surface feelings and ideas about where we belonged, what our inchoate yearnings meant, whether power was a word that women could and should embrace for ourselves, and how different power looked when held in men's hands alone."
While her own message, Barbra recalled how she was "deeply impressed" by Gloria from the moment they met in the 1970s.
"What made her so extraordinary was not only the strength of her convictions, but the humanity and grace with which she expressed them," the legendary singer-actress mused. "Gloria once said, 'When unique voices are united in a common cause, they make history.' Her voice changed history, but her greatest legacy may be the countless voices she helped others find - and gave the courage to use."

Former Real Housewives of New York star Bethenny Frankel is at Burning Man for the first time, and she's taking her followers along for the ride.
As expected, Frankel, 55, did not pack light for her inaugural Burning Man experience and has been showing off the outfits she has planned for the week-long desert gathering. "The fits are fitting, and I'm excited," she captioned a video of herself packing for the event.
She followed up that video with a look at her Day 1 outfit, which is a white and silver outfit with a matching mini skirt, bikini top, fur-lined vest, fingerless gloves, oversized sunglasses, and a cowboy hat.
Frankel also packed several white catsuits, an ankle-length white coat for the chilly evenings, and plenty of revealing party looks.
Along with showing off her fashion choices, Frankel also gave fans a look at the RV she will be staying in and explained why she decided to go to Burning Man in the first place.

Amal Clooney and George Clooney attended the premiere of Ink, which opens the 2026 Venice Film Festival this evening, before George receives the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement.

George chose a classic Giorgio Armani tuxedo for his big night, while Amal delivered something I certainly wasn't expecting.
One thing I did not have on my bingo card for this festival was Amal in a black dress. She is the queen of summery colour in Venice, so I was surprised to see her take to the red carpet in this custom Tom Ford by Haider Ackermann gown. Perhaps we should have taken the hint when she arrived in olive green earlier today.
Of course, this black gown is far from plain. The fitted silhouette features razor-sharp pleating, transparent georgette side panels and a geometric leather neckline, giving us plenty to take in despite the monochrome palette.

Kelley Wolf has opened up about the circumstances that lead to a court-issued restraining order against her last August, following an attempt to enter the home of her ex-husband, actor Scott Wolf.
In an Aug. 29 Instagram statement, the "Real World: New Orleans" alum explained that after a year spent working with a team of professionals—including doctors, therapists, psychologists, and healers—she has answers surrounding the situation that left her banned from contacting the three children she shares with Scott: Jackson, 17, Miller, 13, and Lucy, 12.
"It's been a year since I recognized what everyone around me could see: I was not well, and I needed help," Kelley wrote.
The 49-year-old podcast host went on to describe her mental health at the time.
"I felt like my brain had been hijacked, and the world was moving at the speed of a freight train," the mom of three continued. "It turns out that is exactly what happened, but I didn't know it."

Billie Eilish is being mocked for officiating her brother's wedding on what she may refer to as "stolen land."
The singer, 24, hosted 29-year-old Finneas O'Connell's marriage to longtime girlfriend Claudia Sulewski, 30, at the luxurious San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, Calif. Saturday.
But social media users were quick to point out the service took place on a region that once belonged to Native Americans.
Eilish caught heat at the Grammys in February after claiming "no one is illegal on stolen land" during an anti-ICE tirade.

Nick Reiner has reiterated his demand for access to his family's trust fund in a Friday declaration, obtained and reviewed by TheWrap. The document argues that a portion of the fund became "due and payable" to Reiner upon turning 30 years old and that he hadn't been informed by a prior trustee that the sum was owed to him.
Reiner is charged with the murder of his parents, filmmaker Rob Reiner and producer Michele Reiner, who were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood, Calif. residence Dec. 14. Reiner has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
In his new filing, Reiner argues that he did not give "consent to any Trustee of my Trust to withhold, defer or retain" his distribution that unlocked at the age of 30, estimated at the value of $558,000.
In a response objecting to Reiner's petition, also obtained and reviewed by TheWrap, the defense argues that Paul Kanin, a former successor trustee, cannot act against the new trustee, Jodie Pais Montgomery, because he no longer controls the trust's ***** ets. The document also argues that Reiner's allegations of misconduct mischaracterize "ordinary, necessary features of trust administration and succession."
"Nick's sense of urgency is real, but it did not arise in a vacuum," argues the objection. "It arises from the deaths of his parents, the very settlors of the Trust at issue, and Nick is presently accused of causing those deaths. While Nick is presumed innocent of that accusation (and nothing in this Response and Objection should be read to suggest otherwise), no one, not this Court, nor the parties, knows how the criminal proceedings against Nick will ultimately resolve. A trustee administering a trust under that uncertainty is bound by the same fiduciary obligations as any trustee."

Tom Sandoval's ex, Victoria Lee Robinson, has sparked fresh online chatter after stepping out with a famous face. A recent group outing was enough to get people wondering whether she had already moved on. The timing only added to the speculation, given how publicly her split from the former Vanderpump Rules star has unfolded. But the story behind the photo is apparently far less romantic than some fans ******* umed.
Victoria and Criss Angel were photographed together at a California winery earlier this week, according to TMZ. The image quickly sparked dating speculation online, but sources connected to the pair said there is "nothing romantic" between them.
The sources said Victoria and Criss share the same friend group and have never spent time together one-on-one. They have reportedly only been around each other in group settings.Victoria is also not looking to date right now, according to the outlet. Sources said she is taking time to heal following the end of her relationship with Tom.
That breakup has remained in the spotlight for months. Tom and Victoria first sparked split rumors in May after they unfollowed each other on Instagram. Their relationship later deteriorated publicly amid competing allegations and court filings.
A judge kept Tom's temporary restraining order in place in July while the case continued. Victoria also sought protection from Tom, but her request for a temporary order was denied pending further hearings.

Nick Cannon understands the absurdity of the amount of children he has, and now he has filmed a comedy sketch about the lengths he's willing to go to avoid paying child support.
"Nick, it's time to pay child support," his girlfriend Bre Tiesi says at the start of the comedy skit, which can be seen below. "Como say what?" he replies, seemingly shocked. She insists that he needs to pay up, only for him to respond in Amish garb, "No, I don't, I'm Amish." She's confused about what that has to do with her request, and he pivots to blaming a vaccine and then suggesting that he doesn't have to pay if he has over ten children.
Cannon has 12 children with six different women, but as Tiesi points out, his excuse about not having to pay up because of the number of kids he has would only apply in foreign countries. He then vanishes and gives her a FaceTime call from China, showing just how far he's willing to go to not pay child support.
COMPLEX SHOP: Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what's next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.
This isn't the first time Cannon and Tiesi—who share one child together, Legendary Love Cannon—have filmed a skit about their relationship. Back in 2023, they shared a video in which he jokes about her making more money than him.

Oprah Winfrey is reshaping her nearly two-decade mission in South Africa. After almost 20 years, the media icon is charting a bold new course for one of her proudest endeavors. What began as a single campus is about to grow into something far larger. She says the heart of the mission stays exactly the same.
Oprah Winfrey revealed this week that the school she founded in South Africa nearly two decades ago will wind down. It hands its operations back to local officials, while she pours energy into expanded scholarship efforts for girls.
The Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls will end operations in its current form at the close of 2027, with the provincial government taking over the facility from there. "The dream was never simply to build a school. It was to invest in the limitless potential of young women," Winfrey, 72, said in a statement.
She stressed that her purpose "doesn't end with one campus. It continues in every girl whose future can be transformed through education."
The academy will graduate two more classes before the shift. A rep says remaining students will move to other top-tier schools with tuition fully covered through graduation.

Marriage isn't on the agenda for Ant Anstead and Renée Zellweger, at least not right now.
The Born Mechanic host, 47, shared an update on his five-year romance with the Oscar winner, 57, during an interview with The Telegraph. According to an article People published Tuesday, July 28, Anstead told The Telegraph that the couple isn't feeling any urgency to tie the knot. "I still believe in marriage, but right now we're really happy," he said, "We don't need the pressure of a label."

The two have kept their romance largely out of the spotlight since they met in 2021 on the set of Anstead's discovery+ show, Celebrity IOU: Joyride. "Renée is a hands-on car girl. She used a grinder to cut metal, she was welding, she was on the spanners," Anstead said, per the report, noting she "never normally does [projects] outside film."
One of the first things that impressed Anstead about the Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy star was her confidence behind the wheel. "A lot of people in America don't drive stick [manual cars] but, on the first day of filming, we needed to relocate a car for a scene," he said, according to the article. "Ren jumps in, goes, 'I'll do it!', slams it into first, and off she goes. I'm like, 'Wow. This lady really knows her cars.'"

Prince William reportedly set firm terms before any reunion with Prince Harry. The Prince of Wales was said to face pressure to repair the family rift. However, a new source claimed he wanted "consequences" first. That included a public apology from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
The report framed the demand around past interviews, "Spare," and future palace boundaries. It also suggested any reunion would happen only under William's rules after Charles met Harry.
As per the Now To Love report, insiders discussed the royal standoff. The outlet said William faced pressure to "be the bigger person." However, the report said a reunion would happen only "on William's terms." One insider claimed, "Harry might have charmed his way with his father." The source added it would take "a lot more than a few feeble gestures."
That was needed to win another chance, according to the report. The outlet linked William's stance to past public claims, including those made by Oprah and in "Spare."
Meanwhile, the report said accountability was the main condition. A palace insider claimed, "There have to be consequences." The source said those would start with "a public apology from both Harry and Meghan."

Holly Ramsay and Adam Peaty's sister, Bethany Peaty, are reportedly no longer speaking after a private phone call about a proposed paid interview concerning the couple's pregnancy announcement.
An anonymous source told the Daily Mail that Bethany contacted Holly before responding to questions she had received about the baby news. The source claimed Bethany wanted her sister-in-law's approval and had not agreed to the interview.
Holly reportedly rejected the proposal and warned that participating would affect Bethany's relationship with both her and Adam.
No recording of the conversation has been released, and neither woman has publicly confirmed the source's account.
Holly and Adam announced on June 20 that they are expecting a baby girl in December. "Baby Ramsay-Peaty coming December 2026," they wrote in their joint Instagram post. "We can't wait to meet our baby girl."

Pop star Britney Spears has been the subject of rumors that she has been cloned for years. After getting her start on "The Mickey Mouse Club," the Princess of Pop went on to dominate the entertainment industry with hit songs like "Oops!… I Did It Again" and "…Baby One More Time." After her controversial 13-year conservatorship, she has largely faded from the spotlight and has repeatedly stated on Instagram that she has "retired" from the industry. That being said, she still appears in Instagram videos, often dancing in her home. Some fans have taken to social media to insist that it's not actually Britney in those videos, but a clone. Now her son, Jayden James, is speaking out about those rumors.
Britney Spears' son Jayden doesn't seem to be too happy with rumors that his mother has been cloned, although she's far from alone. Actors like Jim Carrey and Selena Gomez have also faced similar accusations that they have been replaced with clones.
"I hop on TikTok, and I see this one video that has 1.2 million likes, and the caption is like, 'The biggest theory ever: Is Britney Spears still alive?'" Jayden said during a July 17 livestream, per screen-recorded footage obtained by Us Weekly. "Like, bro, you can go to her page and see her right now."
He went on to call the accusation "ridiculous," adding, "It makes me know that a lot of the stuff on media is exaggerated and fake."
Instead of blaming fans for believing the "crazy" conspiracy theory, he put the blame on the media for taking advantage of "gullible" people.

Kylie Jenner is reportedly facing another lawsuit from a former employee. The woman claimed that physically demanding shifts at work led to her miscarriage. She mentioned that she had been working for Jenner since November 2024. She further detailed two instances in which the workload was allegedly unsuitable for her high-risk pregnancy, while sharing the aftermath of the tragedy.
The Los Angeles Times reports that Jenner's former chef has sued her, allegedly over the physically demanding jobs during her pregnancy, which led to her miscarriage. The woman claimed that she worked 11-12-hour shifts, five days a week, but informed her supervisors the following month after joining that she was pregnant.
At the time, she informed the supervisors of her requirements for "reasonable accommodations to protect her health and pregnancy." In the documents, she further detailed two incidents that allegedly took a toll on her physical and mental health. One was from New Year's Eve 2024, and another was Jenner's child's party.
In the first incident, she said that her supervisors asked her to carry "heavy food items across the street and uphill." However, allegedly no **** istance was provided to her. She stated that this demanding task left her feeling dizzy, and she struggled to breathe. Security personnel stepped in to help her out and provided her with water.
Another incident took place on February 1. In the lawsuit, the woman claimed that she was made to work for the birthday but was not given "adequate support" to handle the party's demands. Moreover, she mentioned that the managers also neglected her requests for **** istance.

From Broadway and Big Brother to beauty routines and Bowie-inspired glam, Frankie Grande is ready to tell his story.
In Supergay!, his new memoir, Grande revisits the many versions of himself he tried on over the years — from frat brother, to Broadway performer, to the unapologetically flamboyant star fans know today. In the excerpt ahead, he uses superheroes and secret identities to explain how he got there.
To be your best superhero, you must have an alter ego to hide behind so people can't figure out who you are. Think Bruce Wayne, Peter Parker, King T'Challa, Steve Rogers, Diana Prince, Bruce Banner, the list goes on and on. Clark Kent isn't gay (that we know of) but his secret identity is about as well-hidden as a flaming ******* . All Clark Kent does is restyle his hair and throw on grandpa glasses and ******* ody has any idea who he is. And we just lean into that even though it's absolutely ridiculous, and we can all tell that Clark Kent is Superman. Just because you parted your hair differently, we're not supposed to know that's you? OK. Cool. Whatever you say.
This Clark Kent phenomenon happens to gay people a lot. Even if you're obviously gay, people just pretend you're straight because:
They don't want to be rude by ******* uming you're gay (but guess what, it's not an insult!);
They don't want to out you (fair);
They don't give AF; or
They're super religious and are praying the gay away in their heads.
