Sydney Sweeney Champions NSFW ‘Euphoria’ OnlyFans Scenes, Says Being …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

On Euphoria‘s final season, Cassie Howard delved into controversy and OnlyFans, igniting debate among fans.

Sydney Sweeney portrayed her through all of that, including nude and NSFW scenes.

And she doesn’t have any regrets.

Explaining herself, Sweeney says that acting is all about embodying a character. Which, she says, is why no one knows who she really is in real life.

Cassie ‘has a need to be validated by other people’

Speaking to Vanity Fair, Sweeney justified her character, Cassie Howard, in her polarizing Season 3 storyline.

“From the very beginning, you can see that Cassie has this need to be loved,”

“She has a need to be validated by other people,” she continued. “She doesn’t know how to love herself unless someone else loves her.”

As far as Cassie’s decision to join the site, Sweeney said she thinks her character “was more excited by the idea of all these people loving her and knowing who she is and feeling like her world isn’t small.”

In real life, most OnlyFans creators are just trying to earn grocery money. But some — like Cassie — are after validation more than money.

“He sent me all the scripts and it already had all of Cassie’s scenes in it, the OnlyFans scenes,” Sweeney recalled of showrunner Sam Levinson.

“And he called me afterwards, and he was talking about it, and we talked through it all,” she continued.

“He asked me how I felt about it,” Sweeney shared. “And I told him, ‘Look, I’m playing a character.’”

Sweeney continued: “Do I agree with all of Cassie’s decisions? Would I personally make these choices? No, of course not.”

Among many other things, Cassie became an OnlyFans creator, even becoming one of the rare few to earn a substantial income through the adult media subscription platform.

She portrayed her character ‘in the most vulnerable and insane way possible’

“But I’m an actor and that’s my job,” Sweeney reasoned. “And this is Cassie’s life.”

She continued: “And to be able to do her justice and play her how she’s to be played is to bring Sam’s vision to life.”

That, Sweeney explained, meant that she wanted “to play Cassie in the most vulnerable and insane way possible.”

Like or hate Euphoria, she certainly did that.

Whether or not she’s a realistic portrayal of any exaggeration of Zoomers, Cassie is someone warped by trauma until she became exactly who she was.

Vanity Fair‘s interview asked Sweeney which of her characters — from Euphoria to Immaculate to Christie and beyond — is most like she is.

Sweeney avoided giving a direct answer, instead teasing that fans “have no clue” who she “actually” is in real life.

“That’s why I love acting,” she expressed.

“The whole point of acting is being able to play all these different characters,” Sweeney gushed. “It wouldn’t be fun playing myself.”

There are actors who seem to only play versions of themselves. It’s nice to hear of someone who could get cast in almost any project speaking about how much she loves actually acting, rather than simply line-reading.

That said, a lot of people would like to know who she really is. Maybe one day, she’ll stop playing coy, and they will.

Ryan Edwards & Amanda Conner Are DIVORCING After 9 Months!

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Less than 1 year after they married, it’s over!

During a recent 911 call, Amanda Conner begged police to help her safely get her belongings out of the house before Ryan Edwards could destroy them — as he is known to do.

She also revealed that she is divorcing him.

Amanda detailed the alleged abuse that she has received at his hands during their marriage. Without police, she feared for her life.

‘Me and my husband are in the middle of a divorce’

In Amanda Conner’s 911 call, which The Ashley has since acquired and published (below), she explained to police why she needed their help.

She explained to the operator that she feared Ryan because of his anger when she told him that their relationship was over — and because he has allegedly been “very abusive” in the past.

Amanda told authorities that the marriage was over, that she and Ryan are divorcing, and that she needed help to retrieve her things.

“I’m just requesting an officer to be here so I can get the things out of my house,” Amanda explained in the recording.

“Me and my husband are in the middle of a divorce,” she continued. “And he’s been abusive in the past and I just don’t feel comfortable. …”

“I have pictures of me with black eyes,” Amanda told police, before appearing to tell them that she has photos featuring a “busted nose.”

She explained: “I never reported it to the police because I just didn’t want him to go to jail that day.”

Amanda continued: “But, yes, I have evidence of him being very abusive. That’s what he does.”

She also described her fears about retrieving her belongings: “I’ll go in to get [my stuff] and he tricks me and I get stuck in there.”

Amanda detailed that she was in the car outside of her home, “scared to go in” without an escort.

‘The look in his eye, I knew better’

“I actually stayed the night here last night and I woke up and was like, ‘This is not going to work out’ and then he started yelling,” Amanda recalled to the operator.

“Like, the look in his eye, I knew better,” she explained.

Anyone who has had to be hypersensitive to the moods of a man in their household for their own safety and that of others can understand what she means.

“So I grabbed my purse and went to the car,” Amanda continued.

She expressed a fear that Ryan “is probably in there destroying my s–t so if they could hurry, that would be nice.”

None of this comes as any surprise to Teen Mom fans who have followed Ryan and those women unfortunate enough to end up with him.

(Including the part about destroying someone’s belongings — which Ryan has done in the past.)

In addition to Ryan’s history with his exes, Amanda’s sister said that he nearly strangled Amanda to death not too long ago.

The good news is that Amanda has spoken about it.

People hope that she will stick to her plan and leave him. No one deserves the grim fate of being Ryan’s wife.

Mayim Bialik Details ‘Explosive’ Nightmare with GLP-1, Warns of Severe Side …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

GLP-1 use is rising. History will determine whether that’s fine or very bad.

Sometimes, it seems that every celebrity, from Real Housewives to Oprah herself, is singing the luxury weight-loss drug’s praises.

The Big Bang Theory alum Mayim Bialik had a very different experience from one single dose.

Not only were her side effects severe, but she says that doctors found them unremarkable because they’re not uncommon.

‘To say I had an adverse reaction would be somewhat of an understatement’

In an essay that she for some reason published on notorious right-wing site, The Free Press, Bialik detailed what she called: “My GLP-1 Nightmare.”

The actress explained: “I went on a weight-loss drug because a doctor told me it might help ease symptoms I’ve struggled with for basically my entire adult life.”

Bialik was diagnosed with Grave’s disease, an autoimmune disorder, at age 23. She has spent half of her life grappling with the symptoms.

A few months ago, three different doctors advised her to try GLP-1 because “the drugs have shown promise in reducing the systemic inflammation that drives autoimmune conditions.”

Bialik took their advise, hoping that it would end up being the “magic cure.” Unfortunately, it was anything but.

“I took one shot of the lowest dose of a synthetic GLP-1, and to say I had an adverse reaction would be somewhat of an understatement,” Bialik revealed.

“Explosive, uncontrollable diarrhea,” she shared. “Sulfur burps so violent they left me afraid to open my mouth in public.”

Bialik continued to rattle off symptoms: “Sneezing attacks every time I tried to eat or drink — which apparently has a name, snatiation.”

She listed: “Cramping. Bloating. Full-body aching, as though I had the flu.”

Bialik’s list concluded: “And an inability to keep down even small sips of water without sprinting to the bathroom with yet more explosive diarrhea. More than three times, I didn’t make it.”

She became so dehydrated that she needed IV fluids

“For the first two [days], I ate maybe one cup of rice and half a banana,” Bialik recalled. “Also some broth, which promptly left my body. I couldn’t even keep electrolyte drinks down.”

She characterized: “Everything exited with a rage that left me weak and debilitated.” Yikes!

“I was in constant contact with my prescribing doctor throughout,” Bialik described. “And when I couldn’t keep even a sip of water down, a nurse came to my home to administer IV fluids.”

One detail that stuck with her is how unfazed medical professionals seemed to be.

Her side effects were severe — but not uncommon. The praises that people hear about GLP-1s leave out horror stories like hers, but they’re very familiar in the healthcare world.

“On day three, I started antidiarrheal medication, which gave me just enough reprieve to eat toast and applesauce,” Bialik reflected.

“As soon as it wore off, though, the siege resumed as if it never stopped,” she grimly continued.

Bialik described: “I took more antidiarrheals and rode that seesaw for days, trying to coax my body back to homeostasis.”

She added that, though her intention in taking the single GLP-1 dose was to alleviate symptoms of a chronic illness, her existence as a woman in our culture and particularly in the entertainment industry had her wondering if she would lose weight as a result.

That is, we think that it’s safe to say, not praise of the controversial drug. Rather, it has everything to do with our society’s unhealthy body standards.

Spencer Pratt ELIMINATED From LA Mayoral Race!

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Well, it was fun while it lasted.

After months of hype and a few moments when it looked like he might actually pull this thing off, Spencer Pratt’s political dream is officially dead.

The Hills villain-turned-political hopeful has officially been eliminated from the Los Angeles mayoral race after finishing third in the city’s primary election, ending one of the more bizarre celebrity campaigns in recent memory.

Pratt entered the race earlier this year and quickly became a headline-generating candidate thanks in part to his willingness to say just about anything that would get people talking.

For a while, it looked as though his unconventional strategy might actually work.

But after additional ballots were counted, incumbent Mayor Karen Bass held onto first place while City Councilmember Nithya Raman surged into second, leaving Pratt on the outside looking in.

Bass and Raman will now advance to the November runoff election.

According to the latest vote totals, Bass received roughly 34.3% of the vote, Raman secured about 28.5%, and Pratt finished with 25.8%.

That’s a disappointing finish for a candidate who managed to attract attention from some very high-profile figures during the campaign.

A post shared by Spencer Pratt (@spencerpratt)

Pratt’s mayoral bid became a national story thanks in part to commentary from everyone from President Donald Trump to Senator Ted Cruz and even Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Whether that attention actually helped him at the ballot box is a different story.

The result also prompted a fresh round of controversy after Trump blasted the election process on social media, claiming the outcome was somehow suspicious after Pratt slipped from a runoff position as additional ballots were counted.

Election officials, however, continued tallying votes under California’s standard vote-counting procedures.

Pratt launched his campaign after becoming one of the many residents affected by the devastating Palisades wildfire, which destroyed his family’s home. Throughout the race, he positioned himself as an outsider candidate who could shake up city government and challenge the political establishment.

Ultimately, however, Los Angeles voters decided they’d rather stick with experienced public officials than hand the keys to the city over to a reality television star.

We’re sure Spencer is already planning his next outlandish venture. But for now, he’ll have to delete “mayoral hopeful” from his social media bios.

Ariana Grande & Ethan Slater: It’s Over After 3 Years!

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Thank you, next!

Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater have broken up.

They put out two box office hit musicals and weathered the public downfall of his former marriage together.

Now, it’s over. How did it end?

It’s over!

TMZ reports that Ariana Grande and her silly little Spongebob have parted ways.

Well, they didn’t use that semi-affectionate nickname for Ethan Slater, but you get the idea.

According to their sources, the two actually very quietly broke up several months ago.

This would be some time after Ethan and Ariana celebrated the holidays together, but still early this year.

Without knowing the precise date, that’s about as specific as we can get.

According to TMZ‘s sources, the split was an amicable one.

That doesn’t just mean that it wasn’t publicly messy — otherwise, we’d have known when it happened.

Ariana and Ethan are reportedly still friends. They’re even said to be very supportive of each other.

The report says that they gave careful consideration to the idea of splitting before concluding that it was time to break up.

That sounds very thoughtful and mature! Good for them.

Will she be singing about this split?

These days, it is a common joke to say that relationships and especially breakups inspire art, especially for singers.

But though some of Ariana’s hits have been relationship-inspired (she does, after all, have a song titled “Pete Davidson”), she has a different vibe than, say, Taylor Swift.

TMZ specifies that her new album was not inspired by this split in the slightest.

And her music isn’t inspired by Ethan — romantically, professionally, or otherwise.

Whether that’s a nod to her professionalism or an indictment of him as a partner is a matter of some debate.

In July of 2023, the world first learned of Ariana and Ethan’s entanglement.

This relationship news broke at almost exactly the same time as Ethan separated from his erstwhile spouse, Lilly Jay.

(Yes, the two had also recently welcomed a baby.)

Though there is no actual evidence that anything began before the end of his marriage, the timing made things controversial.

Ariana’s new album, “Petal,” releases on July 31. We’re excited for it. But don’t expect it to dish on her breakup or whatever. She wants her music to stand on its own merits.

Brandi Glanville: My Face is ‘Sinking’ Again! I Thought I Was Cured!

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Everyone wishes that this were a happier update.

Two years ago, Brandi Glanville’s face-melting mystery began. She spent a small fortune consulting doctors.

She thought that she’d finally found the bizarre cause: ruptured, moldy breast implants.

Now, Brandi says, she’s been able to rule it out. Her symptoms are back. And, this time, she’s not the only patient.

On her ‘Unfiltered’ podcast, Brandi Glanville gave a sad update on her face. (Image Credit: YouTube)

‘Now it’s sinking in again’

Late last week, Brandi used her Unfiltered podcast to share a grim health update.

“I have to give an update on my face because I got a lot of comments,” she admitted to her cohost and audience.

“I don’t know what’s wrong with me, guys,” she admitted.

“I thought I was fixed,” she grimly shared, “and then it happened again.”

Brandi elaborated, describing her face: “And now it’s sinking in again.”

“If I had answers, I would tell you,” Brandi promised.

She advised her listeners: “I’ve been to a million doctors.”

(As we have previously reported, Brandi began her extensive medical journey back in 2024, sharing her mystery ailment late that year.)

She detailed that being out in the sun — in many ways, something bad for your skin — has helped her.

Additionally, she had taken parasite medication and has undertaken a “parasite diet.” Brandi did not share many details on these stopgap measures.

‘We don’t know what’s going on’

“I don’t have answers,” Brandi then repeated.

“Is there a doctor that specializes in parasites?” she asked. “Because I can’t find one.”

Brandi lamented: “I’ve been to a thousand dermatologists.”

She added: “So anyway, we don’t know what’s going on but I’m here to get to the bottom of it.”

When facing a medical mystery, it often helps to remember that one is not alone.

In this case, Brandi knows that she is not alone.

According to the former Real Housewife, she has been in conversation with two women who have similar symptoms.

The three of them are coordinating their experiences over DMs, and they hope to find a cause and a cure.

“All three of us had a lot of dental work,” Brandi specified, “we all had black mold poisoning in the past.”

She summarized: “So we are texting each other.” We hope that they find a solution soon!

Andy Cohen: There Could Be a Transgender Real Housewife, But …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

The Real Housewives franchise has definitely grown and improved over the years.

But is a transgender Housewife in its future?

Bravo has featured trans cast members before, but the majority of Housewives have been straight and white — and, to date, all have been cisgender.

Andy Cohen says that a trans Housewife could happen. But only on one condition.

Could there be a trans Housewife some day?

On Friday, June 5, the quintessential Bravolebrity won a Variety’s Creative Impact in TV Award at the Newport Beach TV Festival.

There, he took a question about whether a transgender woman will ever be a Housewife on any part of the franchise.

Andy started his answer by saying that he would not “plant” a trans woman on the cast of any Housewives show.

Bravo has, in the past, attempted to “shake up” casts with specific types of people joining the casts. This has gone over well sometimes, and backfired other times.

Andy would prefer for a trans woman to become a Housewife organically.

“I think if there was a trans Housewife who was friends with other Housewives, that would be the way,” Andy proposed.

“You wouldn’t want it to be stunt,” he explained.

Stunt casting can negatively impact the show, the audience, and especially the person cast.

“You know, you wouldn’t want it to be, like, ‘Let’s cast into this,'” Andy reasoned.

He emphasized: “If someone was friends with that person then that would be great.”

Which Housewife might bring a trans ‘Friend of’ onto the franchise?

A number of Housewives have first been a “Friend of” before joining the franchise as a Full Housewife.

But who would most likely have a trans friend who wants to appear on reality TV?

Andy admitted that he has “no clue.”

Bravo has cast other LGBTQ+ cast members, from Jenna Lyons to Racquel Chevremont to Brandi Glanville.

And those are just Housewives. Heather Dubrow has a trans son. Vanderpump Rules debuted Billie Lee, a trans woman, back in 2017.

While trans Housewives could be in the franchise’s future, fans hoping for men — be they trans or cisgender — should probably not expect to have their wishes granted.

“You know, I’ve talked about this, but, in an early season of ‘Jersey’ there was a conversation about maybe casting” a man, Andy recalled.

“Caroline and Dina [Manzo] have a gay brother [Jaime Laurita], and there was, like, a moment where we were flirting with that idea,” he described.

“I mean, look, I think that in terms of casting a gay guy on the show,” Andy reasoned, “this is a show about women and celebrating women, so, I think we leave it there.”

That makes sense. There have been shows that are unofficially what if Housewives but gay men, with varying levels of success. But Housewives follows women … even if “celebrating women” might be a bit of a stretch.
