Trump weighs in on American Eagle's Sydney Sweeney ad controversy
Donald Trump has given his take on actress Sydney Sweeney's controversial jeans advert for American Eagle. The advert, which featured the tagline: 'Sydney Sweeney has good genes', was slammed by some who have accused it of subtly promoting white supremacy and eugenics. Speaking to the press before embarking on Air Force One on Sunday (3 August), the US president said the ad was 'fantastic' after a reporter informed him that the 27-year-old actress is a registered Republican. 'Oh, now I love her ad,' he said, adding: 'You'd be surprised at how many people are Republicans', though admitted he did not think Sweeney would have voted red. 'If Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her ad is fantastic.' On Saturday (2 August), it was revealed that the Euphoria actress has been a registered voter with the Republican Party in Florida since June 2024, according to public voting records.

Manhattan Transfer: Marvel's Webbed Wonder becomes a Weegie
It's a long title, but it sure is catchy. Meanwhile, local cinephiles have been flocking to the movie location, near Central Station, to watch Glesga being transformed into New York. Diary correspondent Gary Hunt was passing the lights-camera-action and overheard a bunch of American tourists trying to guess the movie being made. 'They're filming Spiderman,' reported Gary to the gang. 'Really?!' said one of them, clearly surprised that he'd flown all the way from the States to witness such a spectacle. 'Yup,' grinned Gary, adding: 'Welcome to the USA, pal. Please enjoy your stay.' Biting humour When Frank Brewster worked in the building trade an apprentice arrived on site, and he was pure greetin' with the toothache. Between moans and groans he revealed that the offending molar was being yanked the following day. He was understandably nervous about the procedure, so another workman said to him in emollient tones: 'Dinnae you worry, son. It's all very scientific. The dentist chappy drags a rusty auld hammer frae the Govan shipyards intae the surgery. Then… big swing. Boom! Nae mare toothache.' The poor apprentice nearly fainted. Though it wasn't the toothache that almost knocked him flat. Child's play Exasperated parent Bev McNeil says: 'I love it when my kids sigh.
