After days of facing backlash from sports fans for her nearly nude Novig ad, Sydney Sweeney is now facing backlash from proper female athletes, calling on the actress to "do better."
The ad spot, released last Wednesday, sees Sweeney strip down to virtually nothing, strategically covering herself with various pieces of sports equipment. Novig is a new sports trading and betting app, and in the ad, Sweeney notes that Novig is just sports: "No betting on wars or deaths and no politics," she says, "just you, your takes and sports."
"I don't know wtf Sydney Sweeney was doing, but it's 2026," British athlete Lucy Davis wrote in a post to Instagram. "Stop **** ualizing women in sport."
"We've got to always think about those young girls, always," she added in the caption.
The Novig ad criticism comes after the actress' American Eagle jeans ad went viral last year. Many called out the phrasing of "Sydney Sweeney has great jeans" as a play on "genes," and called it a promotion of eugenics.

Emily Flynn's highlight strike in the third minute put the Rams on their way to an opening victory over the visiting Huskies at Cimini Stadium in Providence on Tuesday, Sept. 1.
Flynn found the top right corner from all of 25 yards and La Salle was razor-sharp from there while playing for the first time this season as defending state champions. Mila Falcone tucked one under the crossbar in the 13th minute and Allie Scott headed home a rebound off a Falcone shot in the 35th as the Rams took complete command before the break.
Scott added her second shortly after halftime to continue what was a strong performance along the left wing for La Salle (1-0-0). Grace Keenan made a sliding left-handed save on Mt. Hope striker Sara Nencka in the 70th minute to preserve the shutout. The Huskies (0-2-0) played without All-Stater and Boston College commit Emma Goglia, who was nursing a minor injury.
Both teams scored in first half on a rain soaked evening at Augeri Field in Westerly, with the Purple's Lucy Weber striking in the first two minutes, and the Bulldogs finding the equalizer at the 30-minute mark.

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."

The family of a 6-year-old New Jersey girl who died after a badminton racket came apart and pierced her skull during a Maine vacation is suing the Massachusetts-based maker of the sports equipment.
"This case represents a parent's worst nightmare," attorney Charles P. Hehmeyer, who is representing the family, said. "The Morgan family was enjoying an idyllic summer vacation here in Maine when they lost Lucy due to what we allege was a dangerous and defective piece of sports equipment."
The wrongful death and product-liability lawsuit alleges Franklin Sports sold a defective and unreasonably dangerous badminton racket that failed during normal use and turned its metal shaft into a projectile.
Lucy Morgan was vacationing with her parents and siblings in Limerick, Maine, on June 1, 2024, when the tragedy unfolded.

After finishing a disappointing ninth in the Women's Super League last season, Aston Villa have freshened things up by adding Scandinavian talent to their squad.
Players from Scandinavia are no novelty in the WSL, it is a well-sailed passage across the North Sea for players from the region.
But Villa signing four Scandinavian players this summer - three from Norway and one from Denmark - among eight senior arrivals, having previously had none, is notable.
The total number of senior players from Norway, Finland, Sweden and Denmark in the WSL is 42 across 14 clubs, and Villa now have the fourth largest contingent behind Tottenham (10), Manchester United (seven) and Liverpool (six).
Manager Natalie Arroyo and the Villa recruitment team have turned to Scandinavia to help plug senior squad gaps left by the departures of Kirsty Hanson to Spurs and Ebony Salmon to West Ham, and the retirement of Lucy Staniforth, among others.

Davis wrote on Instagram on Tuesday, "As of now, I'm trying to live out whatever might be left of my life in as fun a way as I possibly can.
"I always like to find the teachable moments in anything negative that happens. And cancer has not disappointed in that regard; there's a lot I have learned from it, and I'm grateful for that.
"As some of you will know, the pain can really be something else. Standing and walking for too long a time can be hard, and I need to use a wheelchair sometimes (so if you see me toddling around in one, feel free to give me a push!)."
Davis, the daughter of the comedian Jasper Carrott, noted that humour was one of the things that had helped.

Lucy Davis, who is known for her appearance in The Office, has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. The star took to her Instagram account to post this heartbreaking news.
According to her update, the actor has been diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. Following her revelation, The Office star also pointed out that the cancer was incurable, as it has already metastasized into her bones. Furthermore, such a situation also leaves her in a helpless state, as chemotherapy will probably not help her situation.
Elaborating on her illness, Davis pointed out how she had a small lump on her breast. However, since the lump was small, the 53-year-old ignored it, which led to the cancer spreading further. Advising her followers, Davis asked them not to disregard any symptoms and get checked immediately.
Davis wrote on her Instagram, "As of now, I'm trying to live out whatever might be left of my life in as fun a way as I possibly can.

As some of you will know, the pain can really be something else. Standing and walking for too long a time can be hard, and I need to use a wheelchair sometimes (so if you see me toddling around in one, feel free to give me a push!)"
Continuing with her long message, The Office actor also made an important request to all her friends and family. She stated that everybody must continue making fun of her and teasing her like before. The 53-year-old further reflected that there was no worse feeling for a sick person than when their family treats them as if they were unwell.

WELLINGTON, Aug 6 (Reuters) - New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said on Thursday he was open to a referendum on whether to change the country's electoral system, ‌opening another split in his centre-right coalition months ahead of a general election.
New Zealand adopted the German-style ‌Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) system in 1996 after an inquiry found smaller parties were being shut out of parliament under the previous first-past-the-post system.
Luxon said in an interview with radio station Newstalk ZB that a referendum is "something we should consider", and could be held as early as 2027 if he returns to power following a general election scheduled for November 7.
"I think I would because I actually think that it is quite right to check in constitutionally and say, is this the system, New ‌Zealand, you still want?" he said.

Albeit likely the most recognizable, Carly Simon is certainly not the only famous, or talented, person in her family.
The "You're So Vain" singer is the daughter of Richard L. Simon — the "Simon" in legacy publisher Simon & Schuster, which he co-founded with M. Lincoln Shuster in 1924 — and Andrea Heinemann, a civil rights activist and singer. She followed in her mother's musical footsteps in the early 1960s, starting a music group with her sister Lucy Simon as the Simon Sisters, and now, so have her children gone on to follow in her own.
In July 2026, the singer-songwriter, 83, in a statement to **** O!, revealed that she had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, as well as and basal cell carcinoma, over the past few years. "So many people have written to me, kindly wondering about my relative silence, asking how I am and what I have been doing," she began. "The truth is, I've been learning how to live with Parkinson's disease."

"We're always over at her house. We see the grandchildren together, that kind of stuff. So that's a good relationship," the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia star, 81, told AARP in an interview published on Wednesday, July 29.
DeVito and Perlman, now 78, first met in 1971. He was acting in an off-Broadway play at the time and she saw the show with a friend. The two quickly hit it off.
"We liked off-Broadway stuff. We went to movies all the time. We made little movies together — short films," he told the publication. "We had a lot in common, and we fell in love. A nice Jewish girl from Brooklyn and an Italian from New Jersey: I cooked, and she ate."
The Cheers alum and DeVito dated for more than 10 years before officially tying the knot in 1982. During their time together, they welcomed three children – Lucy, 43, Gracie, 41, and Jake, 38.

England international Hannah Hampton has signed a new two-year deal with Chelsea.
The goalkeeper's contract was set to expire this summer and it was key that Chelsea kept her as part of an effort to bounce back from a disappointing 2025-26 campaign.
After joining from Aston Villa in 2023, Hampton has become one of the world's best goalkeepers and cemented her position as first choice for the Lionesses.
The 25-year-old has won five trophies during her time in west London and was a standout performer as England won Euro 2025.
She won the Yashin Trophy for best goalkeeper at the Ballon d'Or awards last year and joins fellow England internationals Lucy Bronze and Aggie Beever-Jones in signing new Chelsea deals this summer.

"I'm just a Jack of all trades," jokes Lucy Woodward as she trains at Jersey's athletics track for the final time before the 2026 Commonwealth Games.
The 23-year-old is set to make history in Glasgow as the first woman from Jersey to compete in a multi-event discipline in the heptathlon later this week.
She is part of a five-strong athletics team from Jersey which sees decathlete Evan Campbell joined by sprinters Zach Saunders, Steve MacKay and Jamie Oldham.
"I don't have any standout events, I always thought if I was good enough at something it might be an easier life to specialise," she tells BBC Jersey at the FB Fields athletics track where she first started multi-eventing aged 10.
"I just think the training is so diverse, every day is different. I like that you can have one bad event and then you can make up for it and it's the most interesting event if you ask me."

Lucy Hale has announced the death of her father, Preston Hale.
In an emotional obituary posted to Instagram on Monday, the Pretty Little Liars actress confirmed her dad passed away "suddenly" on 17 July. He was 68.
"My dad was mind-numbingly funny, sensitive, and deeply kind. He adored his family, my stepsisters, all his grandbabies, his dogs (and mine), his lifelong friends, and my stepmom, Stacy - the love of his life," she wrote alongside a slideshow of throwback photos. "He was so proud of his career in farming and of his hometown of Milan, Tennessee."
Lucy went on to describe Preston as a "true Southern man" who loved fishing, hunting, golfing, and farming. She also reflected on the "deep soul bond" she shared with her father.
"Our last conversation was beautiful. The last time I saw him was beautiful. Our last phone call was perfect," the 37-year-old recalled. "My sister Maggie happened to be in town visiting me in L.A. when we got the call. She was sitting no more than three feet away from me. That's something only God and my dad could have orchestrated. I can't imagine receiving that call alone or walking through these first surreal days by myself."
To conclude the heartfelt message, Lucy emphasised that she has been relying on her "spirituality and my beliefs" at this "incredibly difficult time".
