Sydney Sweeney is facing scrutiny yet again for appearing nude in a commercial for Novig, a sports trading app and prediction market. But she's just one more celebrity getting heat for using their image to promote these platforms.
The new Novig ad features Sweeney posing nude with a variety of sports equipment covering herself. It's a play on the fact that, unlike other prediction markets such as Polymarket and Kalshi, Novig — which launched nationwide last month — is only about betting on sports, not world events, politics, or "wars or deaths" as Sweeney says in the ad.
"Think you know sports? Prove it. Novig is just sports. So they wanted to show just sports," Sweeney says in the ad while perched atop a basketball hoop naked to seemingly show how stripped down Novig is.
Given the scrutiny Sweeney has received in the past over her ads for American Eagle jeans and soap made from her "used bathwater," it may come as no surprise that the Euphoria actor is once again raising eyebrows. In comments on her Instagram page, Sweeney was criticized for using her body to promote the prediction market.
"This is sad at this point," one person wrote. "Can't sell or be a normal girl if she doesn't use her body as a tool. **** ualizing sports like this is crazy."

Carole Radziwill is opening up about a famous family heirloom that came with an unexpected story.
The What Remains author, 63, shared the story during an appearance on Haley Sacks' Financial Tea podcast, on Thursday, September 10. "I did inherit Jackie Kennedy's Cartier watch. I ended up selling it at auction," Carole said
After Sacks suggested the watch was "cursed," Carole explained, "There was something about that watch that linked all of us — Jackie Kennedy in the '60s, me in the '90s, and then my best friend in the 2010s — and all three were widowed in their 30s."
Carole was married to Anthony Radziwill, Kennedy Onassis' nephew and John F. Kennedy Jr.'s first cousin, from 1994 until his death from cancer in August 1999. JFK Jr. and his wife, Carolyn Bessette, died in a plane crash the previous month.
During her appearance on Financial Tea, the Real Housewives of New York City star admitted she eventually decided to auction the watch at Christie's because she hoped Cartier would buy it back.

Isaac and his wife, Elvira Lind, have been each other's dates to awards ceremonies for years.

Over the past decade, Isaac has shared updates about his relationship. Keep reading for all the facts about the actor's wife, whether he has kids, and more.
Lind is a 45-year-old film director from Copenhagen, though she and Isaac are currently based in New York.

She continued, "Thank you for trusting me to direct you while I was 7 months pregnant. I know that wasn't always easy. Thank you for encouraging me and showing up and doing absolute magic like you always do. And thank you for growing the most impressive moustache I have ever seen. You are the funniest man I know.

Pamela Anderson has recalled being given "a death sentence" when she was diagnosed with hepatitis C in the late '90s.
The Baywatch actress gave a powerful speech about her diagnosis and recovery from the virus as she was honoured with amfAR's Award of Courage during the Venice Film Festival on Sunday night.
"It was a death sentence. That's what my doctor told me - that I probably had around 10 years to live," the 59-year-old told the audience, according to Variety. "I'm sure that coloured and corrupted my decisions. It was not fear of death, but fear of what might happen to my young children. It turned my life inside out."
A cure for the viral infection was found in 2011, and Anderson became "hep C free" in 2015 after paying "everything I had in my bank" to receive treatment.
"But my experience of shame and guilt was also an unconscious journey. It stays with me; it haunts me," she continued. "And just like the ******* ual abuse that I endured as a child, it felt like it was carved into my forehead: Damaged goods. And I presented myself as such."
The Last Showgirl star admitted that she has "finally come to terms" with her health news and is using that to fuel her career renaissance.

Young Thug is clearing up what he says was his role in helping Lil Durk **** emble his legal team for the rapper's federal murder-for-hire trial.
On Wednesday, Thug took to X after comments from Loren LoRosa on The Breakfast Club pushed back against reports that he had financially contributed to Durk's defense. According to Thug, his support wasn't about giving Durk money. Instead, he says he connected his "brother" with his longtime attorney Brian Steel.
"N***a best friends on the stand saying he did serious s**t 'lying' and yall asking blogs who paid for lawyers lol if I didn't say he was my brother my lawyer wouldn't have even took the case," Thug wrote. "I sent Brian to get with him and take the case. Stop making me the bad guy and pray harder for him cause I am."

In Hollywood's ongoing reckoning with child stardom, Hayden Panettiere shared the dark sides of a career in the spotlight.
The "Nashville" and "Ice Princess" star has died at 36, her representative confirmed in a statement to USA TODAY on Sunday, Aug. 16. A cause of death has not yet been shared.
Months before her death, the actress opened up in her memoir "This Is Me: A Reckoning" about childhood fame, crossing nefarious actors in her teens and addiction as an adult. In recent interviews about the memoir, Panettiere reflected that she was "groomed" to be a "little soldier" throughout her early career, which included roles in the soap opera "One Life to Live" and the animated "A Bug's Life."
Much of Panettiere's memoir grappled with grief, especially the death of her younger brother, Jansen Panettiere, and the years she lost to addiction. She wrote about relinquishing custody of her then 2-year-old daughter Kaya after struggling with postpartum depression and addiction. And, like many of her famous peers, Panettiere grieved the "chance to have a 'normal' childhood."
When Panettiere was just 4, her mother pushed her through the busy Manhattan streets from audition to audition, bookending each call with the phrase "Don't phone it in." Praised for her tears and dramatic expressions, Panettiere reflected that she "began to ***** ociate catastrophe with adoration."

Selena Gomez's legal representation says a new lawsuit alleging the star defrauded investors in her mental health star-up Wondermind is "completely meritless, both factually and legally."
Lawyer Mathew S. Rosengart issued a statement to People on Saturday: "The allegations that Selena Gomez engaged in any way whatsoever in any purported 'fraud' or other wrongdoing are completely meritless, both factually and legally. We will vigorously defend these false allegations and indeed are filing a motion to dismiss the baseless claims against her."
In a lawsuit filed Thursday by two companies, Wondermind SRS 44 LLC and Bespoke Wondermind LLC, Gomez, her mother Mandy Teefey and Wondermind co-founder Daniella Pierson were accused of defrauding investors in the mental health startup, alleging the trio made false representations of the business to stakeholders, including a plan that Gomez would be "intimately involved" in the business's operations. The suit claims damages of around $1.2 million.
"Gomez purported to sign a contract obligating her to perform and then ignored it," the lawsuit read. "The partnerships did not exist. The initiatives never materialized. The app was never built. And for three years, while the Company quietly collapsed around them, not one of its founders, officers or directors said a word to the investors whose money was funding the collapse."
Gomez, Teefey and Pierson first launched Wondermind in 2021 as "a **** e to work it all out every day with candid conversations, physical tools, daily content, and a supportive community." In the lawsuit, investors claim that they did not learn about alleged management issues or struggles at the company – like employees not being paid on time – until The Cut reported on the startup's working conditions last year.

Is there anyone out there more equipped to speak on kindness than Hollywood's wholesome Tom Hanks?
Hanks is perhaps best known for his starring role in the 1994 film "Forrest Gump," playing a sweet Alabama man who spends his adult life trying to reconnect with his childhood love, Jenny. The role earned him his second Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Role. His first win came just one year earlier for playing Andrew Beckett in "Philadelphia."
During his decades-long career, Hanks has starred in other iconic films, such as "Cast Away," "Big," "Saving Private Ryan," "A League of Their Own," "Apollo 13," and the Mister Rogers biographical drama "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood."
His popularity has spanned generations through his work in the "Toy Story" film franchise. He has voiced Sheriff Woody in all five "Toy Story" movies, including the most recent, which premiered in 2026. Hanks has also voiced the character in numerous other spin-offs and shorts.
In addition to his work in cinema, Hanks has appeared in TV series, including "Bosom Buddies," "Family Ties," "Electric City," and more.

Meghan Markle's alleged "outsider" complaint drew fresh criticism after her UK trip with Prince Harry. The ****** ss of Sussex was reportedly hurt by the way palace arrangements unfolded during the visit. A new YouTube segment linked that reaction to her wider trouble with royal life. The royal experts' discussion framed the issue around family protocol, public expectations, and whether the "Suits" actor ever adjusted to the royal family's way of operating.
As per TalkTV's YouTube video uploaded on August 4, 2026, Kevin O'Sullivan discussed Meghan Markle's birthday. He was joined by royal biographer Angela Levin. The segment then moved to the recent UK trip.
O'Sullivan said reports claimed Meghan was upset about being treated like "a pair of outsiders." Levin said Meghan came from "a different family." She added that the ****** ss "can't really know how to deal with it."
Meanwhile, Levin argued that the issue extended beyond a single visit. She said Meghan "won't do anything to fit in." The biographer added she would not adapt to "how the royals fit in." Levin also claimed Meghan "didn't do that from the start."
She said the former "Suits" actress "hated it." The comments framed the royal family clash as cultural and personal. They also followed renewed discussion about Prince Harry's wish for closer royal ties.

Kelly Clarkson explained on the first night of her Las Vegas residency that she won't miss human resources meetings after ending her talk show.
The American Idol alum announced in February that The Kelly Clarkson Show would end in the fall.
Clarkson joked that, for example, she wanted to compliment someone when they'd lost weight.
Kelly Clarkson kicked off her latest Last Vegas residency by rejoicing that she had left her talk show — and all that comes with it, like human resources meetings.
"They say dumb s---," Clarkson said Friday during her Caesars Palace Vegas show before laughing. "Like, you can't comment if someone's lost weight, and I'm like, ****** ! You better write a memo. You better write a memo about it, a song about it. I just think that's so dumb. It makes people feel good when you say, 'Oh, you look really good.' And then people are like, 'No, because that means you thought they did look really bad.'"

Jalen Thomas Brooks can pinpoint the exact moment his life changed.
At 3 a.m. on May 13, the actor was sitting on a rooftop in New York with his Off Campus costars Belmont Cameli and Ella Bright, waiting for the show to hit streaming. As the clock crept into the morning, their phones started lighting up.
"The notifications on our phones were just ding, ding, ding, ding, ding," Brooks recalls to Yahoo. "The next day, we walked outside, and it was completely different. Ever since then, it's been a little surreal."
The moment isn't lost on Brooks, whose first job was helping his dad build stages for DJs and events around Las Vegas. He's now a fixture on two of television's buzziest shows: Prime Video's hockey romance phenomenon Off Campus and HBO Max's acclaimed medical drama The Pitt.
"It's a beautiful thing," Brooks says.
