Sydney Sweeney Goes Topless to Promote ‘Seductress’ Lingerie Line

Reading Time: 2 minutes

For a lot of people, 2026 is off to a very rocky start.

But amid all the reports of war and corruption and environmental collapse, there are still reasons to be optimistic.

For example, Sydney Sweeney has launched a lingerie line, and she promotes it by wearing the items herself.

The brand is called SYRN (pronounced “siren”), and it’s divided into five different collections.

Each time new items drop, Sydney models them on her Instagram page, which makes perfect sense.

If she picked someone else for the job, it would only create confusion. It would be like if Elon Musk hired someone hired a guy to be awkward on social media for him. He can just do that himself!

Anyway, first came the Seductress, which carried a femme fatale vibe featuring corsets and garters. Old school lingerie.

Then Sydney released Romantic, which had a softer and lacier vibe. Playful was the name suggests, more fun and sporty.

Then came Comfy, which was the most casual of the bunch.

Now, we’re getting a second round of Seductress releases. And as usual, both the lingerie and the model are receiving rave reviews on Instagram.

“A lil bit more of our seductress,” Sydney wrote in her caption, a play on words worthy of Shakespeare.

Predictably, the post quickly racked up hundreds of thousands of likes and an astonishing number of ultra-thirsty comments.

“GIRL YOU’RE SO STUNNING,” wrote one user.

“Internet is on its knees!!!” added another.

A third chimed in by basically writing an ode to the Euphoria star and lingerie mogul:

“Amidst the hellish battles raging in the Middle East between America and Israel against Iran, there is something beautiful that brings a smile and a sense of joy,” this person wrote,” adding:

“Sydney Sweeney and seeing her work and projects flourishing. There are beautiful women, yes, but the most beautiful of all in every way is Sydney Sweeney.”

Now, we’re sure Sydney is used to people being weird about her on the internet. But it still must feel a little strange.

But hey, she’s a natural-born star who seems perfectly comfortable in the spotlight.

While some celebs seem to hate every second of being famous (looking at you, Chappell Roan!), Sydney has worked hard for this moment, and she’s clearly enjoying every second of it.

Hilary Duff Thirst Traps on ‘Sports Illustrated’ Swimsuit Cover Debut

Reading Time: 2 minutes

She’s a singer, an actress, a mom, and a generational icon.

Hilary Duff has made 2026 into her comeback, with a new album and some spicy new lyrics.

Now, she’s sporting a plunging neckline in steamy beach photos.

It isn’t just for fun. It’s for her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover.

We are looking respectfully

On Tuesday, May 12, Sports Illustrated revealed their Swimsuit Edition cover for the summer 2026 issue.

This is Hilary’s SI Swimsuit debut. Hers and Olandria Carthen and Gabi Moura’s.

Other models include Christen Goff, Katie Austin, Jena Sims, Jasmine Sanders, and Ellie Thumann.

Alongside Hilary, Alix Earle, Tiffany Haddish, and Nicole Williams English all got their own covers.

As you can see, Hilary’s look involves a jaw-dropping neckline and — as always — a radiant smile.

As you can see for yourself, Hilary has a series of costume changes.

Each piece of swimwear shows off her incredible body in a new and exciting way.

In some of these looks, her hair appears to be carefully placed in order to keep the photos from being banned from Instagram.

The photographer was Kat Irlin, by the way.

And these beautiful sunny beaches are in South Caicos.

Her comeback is giving us all life

As we mentioned, 2026 is a big year for Hilary.

Oddly enough, it started off with a weird and only-slightly-vague jab from Ashley Tisdale’s essay about a “toxic” mom group.

She likened it to high school drama, presenting the other moms — including Hilary, Mandy Moore, and others — as cliquey for excluding her.

Over time, reports came out suggesting that there was more at play. Ashley’s response to the tragic January 2025 LA fires seemed insensitive.

And her posts after Charlie Kirk’s death were, to be blunt, pretty alienating to friends and fans alike who support the LGBTQ+ community and don’t generally mourn white nationalists.

Hilary did not directly respond to all of that. She didn’t need to.

Instead, she released luck … or something back in February. (We continue to recommend it.)

She’s also been doing public performances for the first time in a decade or so.

This summer, Hilary will perform in multiple countries in the The Lucky Me tour. This will include her classic hits and new music alike.

She’s a generational icon and a national treasure. And her beach body is out of this world.

Vanna White Shocks ‘Wheel of Fortune’ Fans, Gets Body-Shamed by Internet …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Vanna White is the best part of the controversial “new” Wheel of Fortune.

But then, she’s been the best part of the iconic game show for for decades.

However, her most recent appearance has people worried about her health, insulting her appearance, or claiming that she must be AI slop because the real Vanna wouldn’t look this way.

Some of the comments are cruel. Vanna is famously beautiful. What’s going on?

Some comments can be so heartless

Last week, Vanna attended PGA’s annual ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic, which we understand is some sort of golf event.

The 69-year-old TV personality even spoke to the crowd.

On May 6, an Instagram video showed Vanna speaking, wearing casual dress appropriate for a golf course.

Her blonde hair was in a ponytail, and she wore green pants and a golf shirt.

To say that many commenters were unkind would be an understatement.

There is a line between unkind commenters and trolls. Which of these crossed the line?

“Crazy how old she got. Look at her arms. I hate getting old,” spat one reply.

“Her hands look 90,” announced another. A separate comment claimed that she looks “79.”

“Wow, I can’t believe how much she aged,” wrote someone who was, by comparison, almost kind. “She looks older than she is.”

Another shadily accused: “I think this is AI. I don’t believe she looks like this.”

Not all of the comments were cruel

“She’s a 69-year-old beautiful, kind woman whose highest priority in life has not been chasing every wrinkle, unlike most celebrities now. She’s an icon!” wrote one.

“It’s sad when people make such rude comments about aging!” expressed another. “Vanna, you look great!”

“Comments about her arms, her skin, her size,” observed an Instagram denizen. “There’s so much I hate about our society.”

A commenter affirmed: “Love Vanna. Always so gracious. And beautiful.”

Another appraised: “She looks good. Aging gracefully. Doesn’t look phony and plastic.”

While it’s a shame that some of Vanna’s defenders appeared to be throwing other famous women under the bus, most of the comments in her favor were well-intended.

Look, it’s possible that some of these people aren’t current Wheel of Fortune viewers. They could be thinking of Vanna in 1995, not of the woman today.

It’s also possible that — as we have seen with other celebrities — some folks cannot reconcile her look for her job and her day-to-day attire. Vanna does go home after Wheel of Fortune. She doesn’t live on a game show stage wearing dresses.

But she’s also a 69-year-old woman. While that’s an indisputably nice age to be, she also lived through decades when people were encouraged to get direct sunlight. She also had to regulate her weight for work. These are things that can age people.

We hope that Vanna did not see the weird comments. She’s gorgeous. It would be weird if she looked like she did when she was 40.

Taylor Frankie Paul Appears to Accuse Mikayla Matthews of Betrayal in Mother’s Day …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

An angry and meandering rant is certainly one way to celebrate Mother’s Day.

Taylor Frankie Paul had a lot to say — returning to social media and describing abuse that she has suffered and calling out a “friend” who she feels has betrayed her.

Many believe that she is referring to The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives castmate Mikayla Matthews, but she does not actually name her.

While fans are divided over whether her anger is misdirected, it’s a powerful read from someone who has been through so much.

‘It’s Mother’s Day so I’ll say whatever I want’

On Sunday, May 10, Taylor took to her Instagram page to share photos of her as a mom … alongside a long, long caption.

“It’s Mother’s Day so I’ll say whatever I want,” she began.

“As if it’s not already the worst time,” Taylor wrote, “I have STILL have ‘friends’ kicking me while I’m already down and calling it ‘setting a boundary’ and then BLAMES ME for being upset and responding.”

She lamented: “That’s called shaming and attack while I had a moment to breathe and she knew that.”

“Not once have a called myself a ‘victim,'” Taylor clarified. “But I’m HUMAN and have breaking points.”

“What a snake friend just did to me in the public eye after everything she just witnessed …” Taylor marveled.

“The lack of empathy and silence was loud enough,” she commented.

“Did you see the hearing?” Taylor asked. “Did you see the bruises?”

She continued: “Yet she’s bringing up ‘picking sides’? Yes usually you do for friends you know go through that.”

Taylor asked: “Have you been hurt while pregnant? Have you been beaten right after giving birth? Have you lost two babies due to who knows what?”

‘That is what an enemy is’

Taylor’s questions continued: “Have you gone to jail for finally breaking and taking the only blame for years? Have you been in trouble for getting ready to feel pretty two months postpartum that you cry off your make up and return to an ugly tee shirt?”

She went on: “Can you even understand what I’m saying just from just a psychological point? No clearly not.”

Taylor added: “If it’s being used as an analogy to rash cream.. You heard one side and never called me after, in fact ignored me twice. That is what an enemy is.”

She asserted: “Your trauma doesn’t give you a pass to kick me while down and cover it with ‘a boundary’ months later after the fact. …”

Taylor acknowledged: “She is right to state her ‘boundary’ sure …but go ahead tell them the truth.”

“Who was your last convo with regarding the situation? Not me,” Taylor accused. “What other questions did you have in the concerns while filming with me…’does she get paid more than us?'”

She advised: “Save the ‘concern for children act’ They all know I’m good to my children. I’ve missed more events, girls nights, and opportunities to stay home with my kids more than some could ever say.”

On a more positive note, Taylor wrote: “Happy Mothers Day to all the moms out there.” She included a pair-of-hearts emoji.

“Of course I’m spiraling… people calling me out yet I can’t respond?” Taylor argued. “Exactly what I will NOT be tolerating ever again.”

At the end, she concluded: “Thank you GOD for the people you sent to help me through this with my enemies so close.” Ouch!

Hayden Panettiere Was Served Up to an ‘Undressed’ Celebrity at 18

Reading Time: 3 minutes

To some, Hayden Panettiere was a child actress with memorable roles on soaps like Guiding Light.

For others, she’s Claire from Heroes, one of the stars of Nashville, as Kairi from Kingdom Hearts, or the singer of the underrated bop, “Wake Up Call.”

These days, she is a grown woman, a mother, and she has done a lot of processing about her life.

She’s now sharing a lot, including a horror story of being led by a “friend” and essentially put into bed with nude Hollywood star.

A lot of emotions welled up during Hayden Panettiere’s ‘On Purpose’ podcast interview. (Image Credit: YouTube)

She was only 18 when a ‘friend’ tried to serve her up to a famous man

On the Monday, May 11 episode of Jay Shetty’s On Purpose podcast, Hayden discussed her new book: This Is Me: A Reckoning.

“You write about a moment in your career where a friend of yours takes you onto a boat,” the host acknowledges. “You’re led to a room which has an older man in it and then basically told to perform sexual acts.”

“The fact that I was 18, even though I’d lived such a huge life and I thought I was oh so mature at 18,” Hayden recalled. Most people feel that way in their teens, but especially people with extraordinary lives.

“Scientifically, your frontal lobes don’t develop until we’re what, 25, 26?” Hayden claimed. This is a dangerous and debunked oversimplification and a common misconception.

“So even though I felt like I could make healthy decisions, safe decisions,” Hayden continued, “I wasn’t capable of being fully aware of what was going on around me.”

Actress Hayden Panettiere opens up to Jay Shetty about a TRAUMATIC experience where an industry “friend” set her up at 18 to end up alone in bed with a NAKED “very famous” man while stuck on a boat 😳👀

“I was quite literally out to sea,” Hayden said, when she realized that she was “in danger.”

She shared that the erstwhile friend who put her in this situation was “somebody that I had grown to trust and see as a protector and somebody who had my back.”

Instead of having her back, this unnamed person took her to a “very small room” on a boat with an “undressed” man.

“She physically put me in the bed next to this undressed man who was very famous,” Hayden described.

In contrast to Hayden’s rising sense of discomfort at the time, the man seemed to act “like this was just an average day for him.”

She had no means of escape

There are many ways to respond to realizing that you have been tricked by someone you trusted and are now in physical danger.

Each choice carries real risks — in the moment and in the long term.

Hayden fled the room and searched the boat, looking for a place to hide.

Because, for the moment, hiding was her best option.

“There was no jumping off and swimming away,” Hayden explained. They were at sea.

Just because there were more than two people on the vessel did not mean that she could go to others for help.

“And there was nobody who was going to be empathetic to my situation,” Hayden said, presumably referring to the staff or perhaps other “guests.”

With resignation, she shared: “I realized that this was nothing new to them.”

Hayden did not name the man from the bed or the so-called friend who betrayed her. Given how many sexual predators avoid justice and how many accusers face ridicule, victim-blaming, or simply die, that sounds very reasonable.

Her memoir is out on May 19. We all wish that she’d had a better life than the world has given her.

Savannah Guthrie Shares Powerful Mother’s Day Tribute to Missing Mom, Vows to Never …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Celebrations like Mother’s Day can be very painful in some families.

We’re at almost exactly 100 days since Nancy Guthrie first went missing.

On Sunday, Savannah shared a powerful and evocative tribute to her mother.

Some say that this is a message to Nancy, if she’s still alive. Others see this as a memorial.

An especially bittersweet Mother’s Day

On Sunday, May 10, Savannah marked a very somber Mother’s Day.

“Mother, daughter, sister, Nonie,” she wrote on Instagram, listing Nancy’s various familial roles.

(As with many other variants using similar letters but different vowels, Nonie here indicates a status as grandmother.)

“We miss you with every breath,” Savannah expressed.

“We will never stop looking for you,” she affirmed. “We will never be at peace until we find you.”

A post shared by Savannah Guthrie (@savannahguthrie)

“We need help,” Savannah then admitted to her followers.

“Someone knows something that can make the difference,” she wrote.

“Call 1800CALLFBI,” her caption continued. It is a painful reminder that Nancy’s case has been in grossly incompetent hands for months.

“You can be anonymous and the reward remains available,” she urged.

“Please keep praying,” Savannah urged. “Bring her home.”

Is there any closure in sight?

As we noted earlier, it’s been about 100 days since Nancy’s disappearance.

(This can vary from whether you’re counting from her last sighting alive to when she was reported missing, but only by a little.)

There does not seem to be any trace of Nancy’s abductor for law enforcement to follow.

Perhaps the criminal really planned this that well. That seems doubtful, since Nancy’s blood in her home and her possible death shortly after her kidnapping point to someone who completely botched their own crime.

Some have suggested that the dismantling of much of the federal government and placing of loyalist goons into key positions of power has made this a golden age for people hoping to get away with crimes. That seems pretty likely, actually.

There is a theory floating around, one suggesting that Nancy’s original kidnapper was killed by a partner after lethally botching the crime.

However, that is speculation. A lone actor could, in theory, clean up after themselves and either disappear or — as seems more likely — continue going about their business without any obvious changes to their routine.

If someone vanished right after a notorious crime, people might put two and two together. Someone who does not act weird and does not break their routine is less likely to elicit suspicion.

Savannah is hoping for a tip. She hopes that someone saw something — a weird stain in a car trunk, a coworker who took too much interest in Nancy’s case, a neighbor who recently changed their habits or landscaping.

But it is possible that the abductor is simply too isolated to have had someone notice. The Guthrie family deserves closure, at least, but they may have to wait for a long, long time.

John Mulaney Accuses RFK Jr. of Cheating on Cheryl Hines In Shocking Standup Bit

Reading Time: 2 minutes

John Mulaney’s comedy isn’t as squeaky-clean as that of, say, Nate Bargatze, but he’s also not one of the edgelord podcast veterans who says shocking stuff just for the sake of it.

So when Mulaney made some fiery allegations about Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during a recent performance at a charity event, the claim was treated with more seriousness than it might have been otherwise.

Mulaney was hosting the Night of Too Many Stars at the Hollywood Bowl on Sunday night when he showcased his RFK Jr. impression during a bit about the Health and Human Services secretary,

Mulaney began by noting that he actually knows RFK — or “Bobby” as he calls him — personally.

“That’s how much he shouldn’t be in the government. I know him,” he said, adding:

“He’s comedy-adjacent. He’s married to that woman from Curb Your Enthusiasm and cheats on her like a dog. But he likes to be around comedy people.

“Sorry for the pearl clutch here … Sorry to drop that public domain information.”

— Seth Simons (@sasimons) May 10, 2026

“John Mulaney’s bit about RFK Jr. is finally online and it reminds me that when he said ‘he’s married to the lady from Curb Your Enthusiasm and cheats on her like a dog’ I fully gasped like that was surprising to me somehow,” tweeted one person who shared footage of the bit on X (formerly Twitter).

Now, it’s no surprise that RFK isn’t exactly a model husband.

Journalist Olivia Nuzzi admitted to having an inappropriate relationship with Kennedy during his 2024 presidential run, although it’s unclear if they ever had sex.

And Kennedy admitted to having multiple affairs while married to his first wife, who later took her own life.

So yeah, there’s nothing terribly shocking about anything that Mulaney claimed on stage last night.

We just didn’t expect a mostly apolitical comedian like Mulaney to deliver such a dagger — to say nothing of the shockingly accurate impersonation!
