TikTok stars crash the wedding in raunchy new comedy with Outlander actor

Express Tribune2 days ago
TikTok sensations Adam Rose and Leah Kirkup are taking their viral charm to the big screen, co-starring alongside Outlander actor David Berry in the upcoming R-rated romantic comedy Perfect Wedding Days. The film, directed by Hapless creator Gary Sinyor, promises irreverent laughs, unresolved crushes, and wedding-day mayhem in a tropical setting.
Previously titled Something Blue, the film centres on a second-time groom (Berry), his spirited bride (Kirkup), and a best man (Rose) who is secretly harbouring feelings for the bride. Set against the backdrop of a casual, non-religious beach ceremony, the movie spirals into romantic chaos with loop-style storytelling reminiscent of Four Weddings and a Funeral, according to Sinyor.
Sinyor called Rose a mix of Peter Sellers and Rowan Atkinson, praising his comedic instincts after a try-out with Berry left the crew in hysterics. With nearly 7 million followers on TikTok, Rose became a viral sensation with his absurdist life-hack sketches. Kirkup, also a rising TikTok star known for her 'Your Girlfriend Who Hates You' videos, was discovered by Sinyor during a late-night scroll. 'She's hilariously courageous and audiences will fall for her as much as Dan does in the film,' he said.
The film will also feature Hapless alums Jeany Spark and Adwoa Akoto, and production is set to begin in January after relocating from Los Angeles to Panama, with local outfit Apertura Films stepping in as co-producers.
While casting news has sparked excitement online, fans are already speculating about the potential for on-screen chemistry between the TikTok stars. With a tropical setting, wedding mishaps, and unrequited love, Perfect Wedding Days is shaping up to be a chaotic romcom for the digital age.

American Eagle defends Sydney Sweeney campaign amid eugenics accusations

American Eagle has addressed the controversy surrounding its fall 2025 campaign featuring Sydney Sweeney, following widespread online backlash and confusion over the tagline 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans.' The viral campaign sparked debate after a clip showed Sweeney saying, 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring… My jeans are blue.' The wordplay between 'genes' and 'jeans' ignited accusations online that the ad promoted a subtle racial message or even eugenics. Critics, particularly on TikTok, claimed the combination of Sweeney's blue eyes, blonde hair, and scripted dialogue made the campaign a 'racialized dog whistle.' In response, American Eagle issued a statement on Instagram: 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story. We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way.' While some condemned the campaign as tone-deaf, others defended Sweeney and the brand, dismissing the outrage as overblown. 'Y'all are mad at Sydney Sweeney because she's white, she's blonde, she's blue-eyed and she looks good,' said one TikTok user, capturing the divide in public sentiment. Sweeney has not commented publicly. She continues to dominate Hollywood with roles in Euphoria, The White Lotus, and the upcoming Christy, while also expanding her business ventures. Recent endorsements include Armani Beauty, Miu Miu, and a reported lingerie brand backed by Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez. Baskin-Robbins, one of her brand partners, has since disabled comments on TikTok videos featuring the actress amid the controversy.

Justin Trudeau intensifies dating rumours with Katy Perry after Montreal concert appearance

Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has sparked dating rumors with pop star Katy Perry after the two were seen dining together in Montreal and later attending her concert in the city. The speculation follows several videos posted by concertgoers showing Trudeau enthusiastically singing along to Perry's hit song 'Firework' during her Lifetimes tour stop over the weekend. The viral footage, originally posted by TikTok user @avocado6713, shows Trudeau fully immersed in the performance, leading many to joke that he may be a 'secret KatyCat,' referring to the nickname for Perry's devoted fanbase. Though neither party has issued a public statement about their relationship status, the internet has been quick to speculate. Perry is currently separated from actor Orlando Bloom, with whom she shares a child, while Trudeau finalized his divorce from Sophie Grégoire Trudeau in early 2024. Their recent public appearances have fueled curiosity about whether their connection is romantic or simply friendly. Despite the unexpected nature of the pairing, cultural observers have noted some surprising similarities between the two. As pointed out by Joan Summers in a piece for Vulture, both Trudeau and Perry have faced past criticism over cultural appropriation and have become recurring figures in viral media coverage—from BuzzFeed listicles to meme culture. While it remains unclear whether this is a budding relationship or just an amusing coincidence, their sightings in Montreal have undeniably placed them at the center of pop culture chatter.

Justin Timberlake reveals Lyme disease diagnosis following tour struggles

Justin Timberlake has opened up about his recent health struggles, revealing in an emotional Instagram post that he has been diagnosed with Lyme disease. The announcement came shortly after the conclusion of his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, which spanned two years and ended in late July. In a heartfelt message shared on July 31, Timberlake reflected on the highs and lows of the tour, describing it as 'the most fun, emotional, gratifying, physically demanding, and, at times, grueling experience.' The 44-year-old singer acknowledged that his performances may have appeared lackluster at times, which led some fans to speculate about his energy levels onstage. Timberlake explained that behind the scenes, he had been quietly dealing with serious health issues. 'Among other things, I've been battling some health issues and was diagnosed with Lyme disease — which I don't say so you feel bad for me — but to shed some light on what I've been up against,' he wrote. 'If you've experienced this disease or know someone who has, then you're aware: living with this can be relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically.' Lyme disease, caused by bacteria transmitted through tick bites, can lead to severe fatigue, nerve pain, joint problems, and neurological issues if untreated. Timberlake said he initially considered canceling his tour but ultimately chose to push through because of his passion for performing. His admission followed online criticism from concertgoers who noticed Timberlake holding the microphone out to the crowd and minimizing his usual dance routines. One TikTok user jokingly captioned their video, 'Go girl, give us nothing.' In the same post, Timberlake also addressed his hesitance to speak publicly about his diagnosis. 'I was raised to keep something like this to yourself,' he wrote. 'But I'm trying to be more transparent so that my struggles aren't misinterpreted.' Timberlake's revelation has also raised questions about the future of a rumored *NSYNC 30th anniversary reunion tour, which now appears uncertain.
