Another week, another Mad Libs pairing of public figures. This time, it’s Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun, who, per People, spent Labor Day weekend in Lake Tahoe as they “continue to get to know one another.” Now, if a lakeside getaway sounds major, this is probably where we should note that a source called it a “casual romance,” seemingly confirming an earlier report. Plus, another source told Us Weekly the Euphoria actress is “not exclusively dating anyone right now but is having fun” with Braun. Meaning, whatever this is, it isn’t serious — yet. As for how the two met? That’s a little unclear. A source “close to Sweeney” told People there was “something going on already” when they attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s wedding and that “Syd was intrigued” even though Braun is “not really her type.” That said, the apparently very chatty insider added that the actress, who broke off her engagement earlier this year, is “not looking to get wrapped up in another relationship.” Because she “wants to make the most of every work opportunity that comes her way” — which tracks given that on Tuesday, the Serial Spokesmodel rolled out her estimated 11th ad campaign this year. Hopefully it goes smoother than that last one.
Is anyone doing courtroom fashion better than Cardi B? We enter into the evidence, Exhibit A, which is this very trendy, very expensive Valentino ensemble. Exhibit B: this tweed set, plucked straight from Giambattista Valli’s fall 2025 runway. Your honor, we rest our case.
Breaking news: The Paper, the kinda-sorta spin-off of The Office, has arrived on Peacock. While the title might have you think otherwise, the 10-episode series is not about Dunder Mifflin’s primary product. Instead, it follows The Toledo Truth Teller, a once-mighty Ohio newspaper, now chronicled by the same documentary crew that filmed Michael Scott and his employees. Leading the “newsroom” is Ned Sampson (Domhnall Gleeson), a star toilet-paper salesperson turned editor in chief determined to restore the paper to its former glory. But with just one qualified reporter (Chelsea Frei) and a vindictive managing editor (The White Lotus’s Sabrina Impacciatore), it’s nearly impossible. So, he recruits volunteers from other departments — leading to plenty of endearingly awkward moments, absurd confessional cutaways, and interoffice crushes.
Tired of feeling like motherhood is a never-ending competition? Same. Who’s crawling first, whose kid eats more broccoli, whose baby sleeps through the night — it’s exhausting. Which is why Alex Morgan (yes, that soccer legend) is teaming up with Bobbie to retire the “who’s winning” mentality and rewrite the motherhood “rules.” Think: less comparing, more connecting.*
