Sydney Sweeney has been spotted getting cosy with a mystery man.
The Hollywood star, 27, was seen enjoying a spot of water sports on a lake in Idaho, where she owns her mother's childhood home which she bought from new owners in 2022.
Joined by friends and family for the weekend getaway, Sweeney later ventured off with the unidentified male, with the Euphoria star photographed at the wheel of a jetski.

Sweeney is newly-single, having split from her longtime fiance Jonathan Davino in April.
The pair were reportedly due to be wed in May, but they abruptly cancelled the wedding in March as reports emerged of cracks in the relationship.
The duo, who got engaged in 2022 after first being linked in 2018, are still yet to comment on the breakdown of their engagement.
Sweeney and Davino's relationship became a hot topic of conversation in 2023 due to her undeniable chemistry with Anyone But You co-star Glen Powell.
Both Sweeney and Powell later admitted that they leaned into the chatter to promote the rom-com.

Meanwhile, the White Lotus actress has been weathering a PR storm this week after the launch of her American Eagle jeans campaign, which bears the tagline, 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans'.
Backlash to the ad, which dropped Monday in the US, has been swift, with many fans feeling it casually promoted 'Nazi propaganda.'
In one of the racy campaign videos, Sweeney talks about how genes that are passed on from parents to their children often determine traits such as 'hair colour, personality and even eye colour.'
Sweeney, who has blue eyes, ended the video by looking at the camera and saying, 'My jeans are blue.'

Several TikTok users called out the ad for allegedly being a 'racialised dog whistle,' arguing that it praised Sweeney's genetic traits of blonde hair and blue eyes.
'When those traits are consistently uplifted as genetic excellence, we know where this leads,' said one TikTok user.
'This just echoes pseudoscientific language of racial superiority. All throughout history, those traits have been weaponised to uphold a racial hierarchy,' she added.
Several fans agreed with the user's sentiments and shared their disdain for the ad in the comments section of American Eagle's post.
'Who approved this campaign,' wrote one user.
'This is what happens when you have no ppl of colour in a room. Particularly in a time like this. This ad campaign got so caught up in this 'clever' play on words and this stunt the ppl in the room missed what was so blatantly obvious to anyone not white,' added another.
Neither Sweeney, nor representatives for American Eagle, have commented on the backlash.

Erin Molan's emotional confession about marriage after father's death

Don't miss out on the headlines from Celebrity Life. Followed categories will be added to My News. Erin Molan has revealed the heartbreaking reason she will never marry. In an emotional new interview, the broadcaster said the death of her father, the late senator Jim Molan, in 2023 changed her perspective on marriage. Speaking to the Stellar podcast Something To Talk About, the 41-year-old said: 'I'll never get married because I don't think I could without Dad there to walk me down the aisle'. 'I think that is the only thing I [would] look forward to about marriage … I never grew up dreaming of a dress, or a Prince Charming,' Molan said, in the interview released today. 'Dad would always joke about his speech at my wedding, He's obviously not here to give that. So marriage does not interest me in the slightest at this stage. I'm so fine with that.' Listen to the full interview with Erin Molan on Something To Talk About below: Erin Molan is on the cover of today's Stellar. Erin Molan has opened up about her personal life in a new Stellar interview. Picture: Steven Chee for Stellar In the interview, Molan said she is happily single and dating, and she feels it is 'OK to be on my own'. It is a contrast, she told Something To Talk About, to 'when I separated from my daughter's father, I went into another relationship almost immediately for three years.' 'I didn't give myself time to be alone. And I didn't quite understand why people don't recommend that until a little while in. 'Being on my own, being OK to be on my own … it's the loveliest, most peaceful existence I've ever had. I'm dating, absolutely. 'I'm open to connection, but in terms of commitment, not for me. 'This is my time to be selfish, to be the most present mother that I can be and do exactly what I want when I want. I'm having more fun now than I've ever had, in every single way.'

Picture: NCA NewsWire The radio and TV presenter also addressed the fallout from losing her high-profile Sydney breakfast radio job on 2Day FM, as well as a TV role on Sky News Australia – and how it brought her to a personal reckoning. 'I started out in television at 21 and I'm now 41. I didn't quite realise until I lost professionally every role that I had – from the start of [last] year til the end – how miserable I had been,' Molan told Something To Talk About. 'I was crippled by fear that entire time. It was only once I had lost everything, every job, that I realised that I was actually OK. 'I realised what I'd been terrified of, which was 'if this doesn't work out, if this doesn't rate, if I get sacked', then I'm nothing. I have no worth and value. People won't like me, I won't be able to get another job, I will have failed. My fear of failure was so massive.'

Demascus review: Martin Lawrence comedy series premiere

Don't miss out on the headlines from TV. Followed categories will be added to My News. After months of speculation, the new Martin Lawrence comedy series Demascus has just been released — and the first review is in. STREAMING, TUBI Demascus On a quest of self-discovery, Demascus (Okieriete Onaodowan) is urged by his therapist (played by The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air's Janet Hubert) to try an experimental treatment that allows him to visit alternative realities. Each version – where the same friends and relatives (including Martin Lawrence as an aged uncle) keep popping up but reshaped by their new context – sees Demascus gain new insights into himself and his fear of commitment as he navigates one awkward situation after another. There has been a lot of buzz around this comedy in the US media as it was uncertain fans would be able to see it until it was snapped up by free streaming service Tubi. The first review of new Tubi series Demascus has landed. Picture: Tubi STREAMING, FOXTEL AND BINGE If You Liked: Shōgun Try: Chief Of War STREAMING, APPLE TV+ Visually spectacular, this epic historical drama (created by and starring Jason Momoa) recreates the bloody battles over the unification and colonisation of Hawaii. Momoa plays warrior Ka'iana who, having forged a simpler life on one of Hawaii's smaller islands, is talked into returning to battle by King Kahekili (Temuera Morrison). Told in traditional language, the series is a deep dive into a lesser-known chapter of history. Momoa is believable as a wave-riding hero who can lead an army to victory without any armour, let alone trousers. Jason Momoa stars in Chief of War for Apple TV+. Picture: Getty Images If You Liked: Sandition Try: Miss Austen 9PM, SUNDAY, ABC TV AND STREAMING, ABC iVIEW If you have a passion for Regency romance then you're in for a treat with this new drama starring Keeley Hawes (pictured). Based on Gill Hornby's book, this delightful series casts the other Miss Austen – author Jane's sister, Cassandra – as the heroine. Austenites will already be familiar with Cassandra's diabolical act of literary vandalism (destroying almost all of her sister's correspondence to protect the family's privacy). This series imagines her motivations, offering glimpses into the inspirations for Jane's most famous stories. The Couple Next Door STREAMING, BINGE In the aftermath of the last murderous neighbourly entanglement, the remaining residents of the tight-knit cul-de-sac are trying to get on with their lives. Here in this fancy Leeds neighbourhood, we find surgeon Charlotte (Annabel Scholey, pictured second from right) and her anaesthetist husband Jacob (Sam Palladio, pictured second from left), who struggle to find time for each other amid the pressures of their careers and caring for her elderly father. So when disarmingly confident nurse Mia (Aggy K Adams, pictured right) and Charlotte's old flame (Sendhil Ramamurthy, pictured left) begin working at the hospital, the stage is set for another dangerous love quadrangle. Some of Kylie Minogue's most successful hits were written by Mike Stock, Matt Aitken and Pete Waterman. Picture: Getty Images Hitmakers STREAMING, NETFLIX In the 1980s, the songwriting team of Mike Stock, Matt Aitken and Pete Waterman famously wrote Kylie Minogue's hit I Should Be So Lucky in 40 minutes, proving that when inspiration strikes, magic can happen fast. In this reality series, aspiring hitmakers are thrown together and given a few short hours to write the next big pop song for musicians such as John Legend (pictured left) and Lisa of Blackpink (and The White Lotus). You may not know their names, but you will already know some of their lyrics, as the cohort has penned hits for the likes of Beyoncé, Justin Bieber and boy band BTS. Creativity flourishes and rivalries flare in the pressure-cooker environment. Lisa from Blackpink at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards. Picture: AFP Dancing With The Stars 7.30PM, MONDAY, SEVEN The glittering stage is set as six celebrities – comedian Felicity Ward, journalist Michael Usher, footy player Trent Cotchin, actor Kyle Schilling, TV host Shaun Micallef (pictured with Ash-Leigh Hunter) and radio personality Brittany Hockley – and their partners hit the floor in the final. While Ward makes no secret of her desire to win and newlywed Hockley dances in tribute to her husband, it's clear everyone is keen to put their best foot forward. The Decline Of Western Civilization Part Ii: The Metal Years STREAMING, TUBI In Black Sabbath's farewell concert last month, held just weeks before the July 22 death of frontman Ozzy Osbourne (pictured with his family), the singer reunited with his bandmates to feel the love of fans and fellow musicians such as Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and Guns N' Roses vocalist Axl Rose. In this 1988 doco, Osbourne joins another legendary line-up to reflect on his headline-grabbing career. The late Ozzy Osbourne, pictured in 1997. Picture: AP Photo/Bill Kostroun, file In Case You Missed It … The Kennedys If the Kennedy clan is basically America's answer to royalty, then this 2011 series is its equivalent to The Crown. With a star-studded cast that includes Tom Wilkinson as domineering patriarch Joe, Greg Kinnear as JFK and Katie Holmes (pictured) as Jackie, the four-part miniseries takes real people and events and serves them up as a salacious soap opera. The series attracted some fierce criticism from the family's inner circle, who feared it wasn't an accurate portrayal of the Kennedy legacy. Certainly this is not a historically accurate account of JFK's time in the White House. But it doesn't claim to be. And, if you enjoy a good biopic (as I do) then this one will be your next guilty pleasure – if only to watch Holmes's wardrobe and breathless impersonation of the fashionable First Lady.

Two Views The Twelve: Cape Rock Killer Siobhan Duck Whether it's an old-school classic like Perry Mason (and its grittier reboot starring Matthew Rhys), a series playing the legal system for laughs like Ally McBeal, or TV justice served with a sidebar of politics such as The Good Wife, I love courtroom dramas. Certainly, this series starring Sam Neill as wily defence barrister Brett Colby is the best Aussie take on the genre since Janet King. In this new season, Colby is called upon to defend an old friend accused of killing a woman who was digging into a cold case murder. Complicating matters further for Colby is the fact he's squaring off against his former protégée, Gabe Nicholls (Danielle Cormack) in court. Against the backdrop of the whodunnit are the equally intriguing machinations of the sequestered jury. As the case unfolds, viewers will also learn about the private lives and prejudices of these 12 strangers sitting in judgement – and you will start to judge them as well. Sam Neill and Danielle Cormack in a scene from The Twelve. Picture: Daniel Asher Smith James Wigney As the guilty verdict from one of the most fascinating murder trials in living memory still rings in our ears, it's a tough ask for any homegrown courtroom drama to top a woman killing her lunch guests with death cap mushrooms. Indeed, with the proliferation of top-notch true crime documentaries and podcasts, I'm finding it harder to look past the factual in favour of the fictional, no matter how well made. That said, while the format is starting to show a few familiar signs in its third season, The Twelve is still solid, thanks to its one constant: Sam Neill as the cunning and calm Brett Colby. Smartly, he's now a reluctant defence barrister, concerned about being compromised thanks to his connection with the accused. And if the time shifts between the current crime and a historical double murder, secret lives of jury members and many twists get too much, just crack a bottle of Neill's Otago pinot noir and enjoy the stunning Margaret River scenery.

Bombshell book claims Jeffrey Epstein called Prince Andrew a ‘serial sex addict'

Don't miss out on the headlines from Royals. Followed categories will be added to My News. Prince Andrew has been branded a 'serial sex addict' in a bombshell new book — with Jeffrey Epstein reportedly claiming the Duke of York was even kinkier than him. The shocking allegations appear in 'Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York', which the British royal reportedly tried to block, The Sun reports. According to the Daily Mail, late pedophile financier Epstein is quoted in the book as saying: 'We are both serial sex addicts. 'From the reports I've got back from the women we've shared, he's the most perverted animal in the bedroom. 'He likes to engage in stuff that's even kinky to me – and I'm the king of kink!' The explosive revelations come alongside fresh allegations about Andrew's conduct on royal tours.

A Reuters correspondent reported that, during the King of Thailand's diamond jubilee celebrations in 2006, more than 40 women were taken to Andrew's Bangkok hotel room. 'Often, as soon as one left, another would arrive,' the reporter said. Hotel staff were reportedly stunned that 'more than 10 a day' were going to the Duke's suite. The exposé portrays the 64-year-old royal as a man consumed by sex, with claims from an investigative journalist that he has bedded over a thousand women, ranging from porn stars and actresses to palace staff and bartenders. One 20-year-old model, who says she twice slept with Andrew before being whisked to Mustique, recalled: 'He wanted me to engage in kinky sexual activity. 'He had no boundaries. He told me he had an open marriage arrangement with his wife. 'After returning to London, I never heard from him again. I felt like he used me for a few days, so he could live his wildest fantasies.'

Masseuse Emma Gruenbaum, who worked on him at Royal Lodge, alleged Andrew was a 'constant sex pest,' insisting on being naked for massages and making crude remarks. 'That's just not normal behaviour for a professional sports therapy session,' she said. The book also recounts disturbing tales from palace insiders. One former staff member claimed: 'When I started, I was warned to stay away from him. 'He would sometimes enter the staff quarters. 'It seemed everyone was aware of his behaviour, but little was done about it.' From his 'Randy Andy' schoolboy reputation to being accused of bullying aides and humiliating women at society events, Andrew is painted as both sex-obsessed and arrogant. Aides alleged he once had an employee moved because of a mole on his face, while another was sidelined for wearing a nylon tie. The York family reportedly tried to block the book, warning contacts not to co-operate and enlisting the Foreign Office to discourage diplomats from speaking. Despite legal threats, the exposé has gone to print — leaving Andrew once again at the centre of a scandal.

It comes as a top lawyer warned that Andrew may not be in the clear despite the FBI dropping its probe into his ties with Jeffrey Epstein. Spencer Kuvin, who has represented five of Epstein's alleged victims, said the Duke of York, 65, still has reason to worry after six years of avoiding travel abroad for fear of arrest. 'I still don't think Andrew can sleep soundly,' Mr Kuvin said. 'With the quick change of administration or new leadership at the Department of Justice, the investigation could be reopened or continued. 'Andrew needs to visit the US to answer questions from the FBI. Avoiding this merely makes people think he's guilty.' Andrew has always denied claims by Virginia Giuffre that he abused her when she was 17, insisting he never saw or suspected Epstein's crimes. Giuffre died in Australia in April at the age of 41. There is no statute of limitations for federal sex crimes in the US, meaning allegations could be revived at any time. Andrew has not set foot in America since meeting Epstein in New York in 2010.
