Dr. Squatch releases Sydney Sweeney soap made with her real bathwater after viral fan campaign
Dr. Squatch has unveiled a new product that blends humour, self-care awareness, and pop culture flair — a limited-edition bar of soap made with actual bathwater from actress Sydney Sweeney, answering a wave of tongue-in-cheek fan requests that followed her viral ad campaign with the brand last year.
The soap, called Sydney's Bathwater Bliss,
comes in response to fan demand following Sweeney's appearance in a viral ad campaign for Dr. Squatch, where she portrayed the Body Wash Genie and playfully referred to viewers as 'dirty little boys.'
The ad quickly caught fire online, with fans flooding social media with bizzare reactions and a vast majority in the comment section seemed concerned about her bathwater.
'I honestly think it's a really fun, full-circle moment,' Sweeney told GQ in a recent interview. 'Fans always joke about wanting my bathwater… I was like, this is such a cool way to have a conversation with the audience and give them what they want. But then also hopefully encourage them to take care of themselves in a healthy way.'
Formulated with exfoliating sand, pine bark extract, and a scent profile featuring Douglas fir, earthy moss, and pine, the soap is designed to provide a rugged, invigorating clean — with a slightly surreal twist. 'It's weird in the best way,' Sweeney said. 'And I love that we created something that's not just unforgettable, it actually smells incredible and delivers like every other Dr. Squatch product I love.'
According to John Ludeke, Senior Vice President of Global Marketing at Dr. Squatch, the soap is designed to be 'bizarre, unexpected, and intended to get guys to think more deeply about the ingredients in the products they are putting on their bodies.'
Only 5,000 bars of Sydney's Bathwater Bliss will be produced. Ahead of the June 6 launch, Dr. Squatch is running a giveaway from May 29 to June 5, offering 100 lucky U.S. residents the chance to win a free bar by entering via Instagram or the company's website.
In an interview with GQ, Sweeney reflected on the unusual request from fans for her bathwater. 'You can either ignore it, or turn it into a bar of Dr. Squatch soap,' she said.The actress, who grew up in the Pacific Northwest, added that she wanted the soap's scent to reflect her roots with its outdoorsy fragrance. She confirmed that the bathwater used in the soap is genuine, collected during the product shoot.
Sweeney sees the quirky collaboration as both a tongue-in-cheek nod to internet culture and a way to promote natural personal care products, saying, 'Hopefully, this helps guys wake up to the realities of conventional personal care products.'

Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood address feud rumours after 'The White Lotus' season 3
After The White Lotus Season 3 wrapped up, rumours of a feud between Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood began circulating. Fans noticed the two stars, who played Rick and Chelsea, weren't following each other on Instagram, leading to speculation about tension between the co-stars. In a joint interview with Variety, both actors addressed the rumours head-on, clarifying there was no bad blood between them. Goggins became emotional as he expressed his deep admiration for Wood, stating, "There is no feud. I adore, I love this woman madly, and she is so important to me." Wood echoed similar sentiments, dismissing the social media focus as "irrelevant." The Instagram unfollow, Goggins explained, was part of his emotional process after filming. "I needed to begin to process saying goodbye to Rick and Chelsea," he said, revealing he needed some space after wrapping the show. Wood supported his decision, saying she understood completely. Both actors laughed off the feud rumours, with Goggins even re-following Wood on Instagram during the interview. "It's all so ridiculous," he added, emphasising their enduring friendship. They also shared a bittersweet moment, recalling a tender love scene between their characters that was cut from the final edit. Despite the rumours, it's clear that Goggins and Wood share a lasting bond, both on-screen and off, proving the reports of a feud were much ado about nothing.

Romeo Beckham splits from Kim Turnbull amid Beckham family rift rumors
Romeo Beckham has officially split from model and DJ Kim Turnbull after seven months of dating, sources confirmed. The breakup reportedly occurred just weeks after David Beckham's 50th birthday celebrations, which Turnbull had attended alongside the Beckham family. Sources close to the couple claim the split was amicable and due to conflicting work schedules rather than any connection to the ongoing family rift involving Romeo's older brother, Brooklyn Beckham, and his wife, Nicola Peltz. Speculation swirled around Kim's involvement in the feud, with some reports alleging Nicola was uncomfortable with Kim due to a past friendship with Brooklyn. However, insiders insist that Brooklyn and Kim were never romantically involved. Romeo and Kim's parting was described as 'friendly,' with the pair still crossing paths socially. Turnbull, 26, is a rising DJ and model from North London with a strong fashion and music background. She and Romeo, 22, made their relationship Instagram official in November 2024 and were frequently seen together at high-profile events. David and Victoria Beckham were reportedly fond of Kim and saddened by the breakup. The family tensions with Brooklyn and Nicola, who have been absent from several Beckham gatherings, have continued to fuel rumors. However, sources close to the Beckhams have pushed back against narratives blaming Kim, suggesting Nicola may be using her as a scapegoat. Romeo is no longer on speaking terms with Brooklyn, marking a deeper divide within the Beckham family.

Pop star Jessie J has revealed she has been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. The singer, 37, shared the news in an emotional Instagram video, explaining she will undergo surgery following her performance at Capital's Summertime Ball at Wembley Stadium later this month. The Price Tag and Domino hitmaker, real name Jessica Cornish, said she had been "in and out of tests" and is trying to remain positive. 'Cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding on to the word 'early',' she said. Jokingly, she added, 'It's a very dramatic way to get a boob job.' Jessie J also shared that she plans to step back from public appearances after the event to recover and reflect, adding, 'Honestly, I need a hug.' The star said she hopes going public helps her process the diagnosis and show solidarity with others battling similar illnesses. In the video, Jessie opened up about how fans have supported her through hard times in the past and said she didn't want this to be any different. Messages of love poured in from celebrities including Rita Ora, Leona Lewis, and Gaby Roslin, while Breast Cancer UK praised Jessie for raising awareness and emphasized the importance of early detection and regular self-checks. Jessie J has previously been open about her health struggles, including a childhood heart condition, a stroke at age 18, Meniere's disease, and more recently, diagnoses of ADHD and OCD. The singer recently turned down a Broadway role to focus on her young son, underlining that family and health remain her top priorities.
