Jessica Biel drops the truth about her TV show physique
The 43-year-old Hollywood actress admitted that her toned body viewers saw in "The Better Sister" requires a strict, rigid fitness and nutrition plan – not a realistic long-term regimen.
"Everyone is talking… about the white dress," Biel explained in a TikTok video of her viral ensemble that showcased her back muscles. "And how do we stay strong as we get older."
"Specifically, as women, how do we keep our back strong?" she added.
"I wanted to share that, that peak shape in that show is not maintainable unless you are living the strictest… most rigid lifestyle with your nutrition and with your fitness, which I cannot do," Biel continued. "So I'm currently back on my plan to sort of get a little bit back toward that shape."
The "7th Heaven" alum went on to explain that her routine focused heavily on muscle-building and flexibility—two key elements she insisted are paramount to her wellness plan.
Biel was seen in a workout room with gym equipment, as she told her fans that her workout consisted of "dumbbell hip thrust, 10 x 4 sets, each dumbbell is 10 kg." She noted that she would normally use a barbell instead of dumbbells.
In the second workout video clip, Biel was seen doing an exercise called "romanian deadlift," then "hamstring curls" with a yoga ball.
The "Candy" actress continued to show her different workout routines throughout the social media video.
She concluded her video by stretching on the floor in a split, "You've got to build muscle… That's a key part of my particular routine. And a ton of flexibility."
"Let's get older and stronger together," Biel ended her video with a smile.
Her fans flooded the comments section thanking the actress for her honesty.
"Thanks for admitting that's not sustainable," one comment read.
Another fan wrote, "thank you for speaking about the lifestyle that comes with maintaining! this kind of transparency is so important."
"Love how honest and real you are," another comment read.
Biel wrote in her TikTok caption, "I'm no expert but I want people to be healthy, safe, and strong. Remember to warm up and cool down…"
The Hollywood star tied the knot with pop singer Justin Timberlake in 2012. They share two sons, Silas, 10, and Phineas, 4.

‘Dream Come True': Trainer Aggie Ordonez ‘Swinging Big' With Star California-Bred Om N Joy
'Dream Come True': Trainer Aggie Ordonez 'Swinging Big' With Star California-Bred Om N Joy originally appeared on Paulick Report. After a 21-year training career, the 3-year-old California-bred filly Om N Joy is providing 57-year-old Aggie Ordonez with several career chestnut filly provided Ordonez with her first career stakes win in the Evening Jewel Stakes at Santa Anita in May, and with her first stakes win at Del Mar when Om N Joy won the Fleet Treat over seven furlongs for 3-year-old California-bred fillies by 4 ¼ lengths on July 25. The daughter of Om out of Margie's Minute (Hard Spun) is owned in partnership by breeders Jerry and Connie Baker, Michael Golovko, and Terrence Scanlan.'Winning the Fleet Treat was a dream come true,' said Ordonez. 'I'm pretty sure she hasn't peaked by a long way. My dreams are getting bigger by the day with this filly.'Ordonez's life has revolved around racing for as long as she can remember. She was born in 1968 to Pete and Julia Anderson. Her father, Pete, was a big-league jockey, riding horses such as Forego, Cavan, Cannonade, and Sword Dancer, and he later trained racehorses, as graduated in the class of 1990 from Tulane University in New Orleans, La., and went on to work in racing publicity in the afternoons, while galloping racehorses in the morning. As time went on, she realized she wanted to be the one answering the media's questions, not asking them. She started her first horse in 2004 and relies on what she learned from her father in her training.'My dad had so much respect for a racehorse,' said Ordonez. 'He was so far ahead of everyone in the respect of treating these animals like treasures and putting their well-being first.'Ordonez, like her father, has a kind hand with a horse. She shared that she likes to massage her runners before putting a bridle on them. Several times, Om N Joy has yawned as Ordonez is trying to put the bridle on, causing Ordonez to joke that she might be overdoing it with her attempts to relax her runners. Om N Joy, who Ordonez calls a 'gentle giant,' is on a four-race winning streak, starting with her maiden-breaking score when she returned to dirt after spending the winter running on turf. Since then, she's dominated the California-bred sophomore filly scene with victories in the Evening Jewel Stakes, Melair Stakes, and now the Fleet Treat described Om N Joy as a 'gangly' 2-year-old, even doubting that she would make it to the races as a juvenile because of her physical and mental immaturity.'When she first started breezing, if I wanted her to go a half mile, I would tell the rider to go five,' Ordonez explained. 'Because it was in the early days, it took her an eighth of a mile to kind of get the idea.' Om N Joy surprised her trainer and made six starts at two, including two thirds, before running a distant last in the Grade 2 Oak Leaf in her third explained that she was hoping to run Om N Joy in a two-turn dirt maiden after she didn't take to the tapeta training track at Santa Ordonez couldn't find a routing dirt maiden for Om N Joy, she was left with few options. She could run her filly on the turf, which she probably wouldn't like, or run her against the best juvenile fillies California has in the Oak Leaf Stakes, where she might be outclassed.'I know that's a crazy move, but sometimes when you know you've got something special in a young horse, you have to give them an opportunity to prove you're wrong,' said Ordonez. It wasn't Om N Joy's day in the Oak Leaf, but now she's the second-highest earner from that field, only trailing G1 winner Del Mar's summer meet in full swing, Ordonez is at a crossroads with her star she run against older California-bred fillies and mares on the turf in the Solana Beach Stakes on Aug. 17, or stay on her preferred surface but against open company in the G3 Torrey Pines on the Pacific Classic undercard on Aug. 30?'It's a Grade 3,' Ordonez said. 'That's a big step, but here I go again, swinging big.' This story was originally reported by Paulick Report on Jul 29, 2025, where it first appeared.

Austin Butler's Dating History Includes Vanessa Hudgens, Kaia Gerber, and More
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." THE RUNDOWN While Austin Butler has kept his love life relatively private, he has had a number of famous past girlfriends. His most notable long-term relationship was with Vanessa Hudgens, whom he dated for over seven years. Butler is currently publicly single but last dated Kaia Gerber. Austin Butler had been very busy lately, with starring turns in some of the biggest blockbuster hits of recent years, like Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Dune, and as Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann's Elvis, which earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. The star has also managed to have a personal life, which includes some high-profile romances. Though Butler is often in the spotlight, he's generally pretty close-mouthed about his love life. He may walk the red carpet with his partners, but Butler keeps details of his relationships discreet. Here's what is known about Butler and his complete dating history so far. Vanessa Hudgens Hudgens and Butler met on the set of High School Musical, according to the Daily Mail. At the time, Hudgens was dating Zac Efron, but she and Butler remained friends. They didn't spark dating rumors until 2011, a year after she split from Efron. In September of that year, they were seen leaving her house in Los Angeles. In January 2012, they were photographed kissing at a Lakers game. Soon after, they made their red carpet debut at the premiere of Hudgens' film, Journey 2: The Mysterious Island. In December 2013, Butler made his first appearance on Hudgens's Instagram timeline, as part of a group of friends from her church, Hillsong. She wrote in the caption, 'We may be rowdy but man we have fun. Love these people with all my heart. Thanks @hillsong for my new home.' The couple didn't discuss their relationship that much in public, but in August 2015, Hudgens told Entertainment Tonight, 'It's important to put that other person first. If you're constantly looking for ways that you can make them happy, and they're constantly looking for ways that they can make you happy, then you kind of lift each other up as much as possible, and you can't go wrong.' Reports that the couple might be on the outs began appearing in late 2019, after they spent the holidays apart. On Jan. 2, 2020, Hudgens discussed the difficulties of often being long-distance with Butler in an interview with Cosmo UK. 'It's eight years this year–FaceTime, good communication, respect and trust [are what keep us going],' she said. 'The longest we've been apart was four months. It sucks! You start hating hearing yourself say, 'I miss you.' But if it's your person, you make it work.' In mid-January 2020, Us Weekly reported they'd broken up, with a source saying, 'Vanessa and Austin are officially broken up, and Vanessa has been telling those close to her about their breakup.' Two sources speaking with E! said that the pair 'are split for now,' but claimed they planned to 'see what happens.' The insider continued, 'They have such a history and deep connection [that] they could find their way back to one another. Right now, she felt like he needed to go and be single and see if that's what he really wants.' Butler was shooting Baz Luhrmann's Elvis Presley biopic in Australia at the time, while Hudgens was working in Los Angeles. The second source claimed that 'they're just shooting on two different continents, and it's a matter of distance. There is no bad blood at all, and they have a lot of respect for each other.' However, the two never publicly reconciled, and Hudgens went on to marry baseball player Cole Tucker. In January 2023, Butler did comment on his past relationship with Hudgens after referring to her as his 'friend' when discussing who motivated him to play Elvis. Fans noted the designation, and it sparked some controversy. In a follow-up with the Los Angeles Times, reporter Mark Olsen asked Butler, 'There's something else I hope you can clear up. You've talked about a moment even before you had the role, it was Christmastime, and an Elvis song came on and you were with a friend, and you were singing along.' Butler interjected to say, 'I was with my partner at the time.' After Olsen asked if that partner was Hudgens, Butler replied, 'That's right. We'd been together for so long, and she had this sort of clairvoyant moment and so I really, I owe her a lot for believing in me.' Olivia DeJonge Butler worked with Olivia DeJonge on the set of Elvis, and it was rumored they had a brief fling after they were seen at a movie theater looking cozy in Melbourne, and then again on the beach in November 2020, per the Daily Mail. But they were never seen together after that year. Lily-Rose Depp In August 2021, Butler was photographed kissing Lily-Rose Depp in London, who had herself recently split up with her boyfriend Timothée Chalamet. They were also not seen together again, and Depp went on to date rapper 070 Shake. Kaia Gerber Like with most celebrity romances, Butler's connection with model Kaia Gerber began as a rumor. But in December 2021, a source confirmed with Us Weekly, 'They are low-key dating. It's still very new.' Butler had been seen on December 8 at a Celine fashion show in Los Angeles, where Gerber was walking the runway. Butler was accompanying her parents, Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber. A source told People a few weeks later, 'She seems really happy. All of her friends think he's really cute.' Though they made many public appearances throughout their relationship, the couple did not speak about their love much in public. In February 2024, Gerber told WSJ magazine, 'Honestly, I feel like so few things in my life are private, and that is one of the things that I try to keep as sacred as possible.' In May 2022, Butler was asked about Gerber by GQ and replied, 'I don't think there's anything I want to share about that. But thank you for providing the space.' That same month, they were seen kissing in Cannes after a screening of Elvis. In September 2023, a source told Us Weekly that after almost two years together, they were both feeling good about their relationship. 'They've both been so busy with their careers that the time has flown by,' the source said, adding that 'they spend as much time together as they can. Although Austin and Kaia are both in the public eye, they're really down to earth and have a very secure relationship, so they never let jealousy or anything like that get in the way.' They continued, 'Kaia loves that her family gets along so well with Austin. He's joined them on several vacations, and he's definitely a part of the family.' Butler did tell Entertainment Tonight in February 2024 that he was proud of Gerber's British Vogue cover that month. 'It was legendary,' he said. 'It was amazing. I loved getting to see that. What an exciting cover. I loved it.' Gerber and Butler were last seen together in October 2024, heading from dinner to Gracie Abrams's concert at Radio City Music Hall. But rumors of a breakup started circulating after they failed to make more public appearances. In January 2025, sources told TMZ that they had split 'around the end of 2024.' 'The relationship just simply ran its course after a good three years together,' the insider claimed. Gerber began dating actor Lewis Pullman in early 2025.

IPTV Sverige: Samla all din TV på ett ställe 2025
Sound familiar? You flop down on the couch after a long day, ready to relax. Maybe you want to watch that new, hyped-up series everyone's talking about—or the big Allsvenskan match. You grab the remote and… then it begins. Which service was it again? Is the show on Netflix, HBO Max (or just 'Max' now?), SkyShowtime, or Prime Video? And the match—is it on TV4 Play or Viaplay? Before you know it, you've spent ten minutes jumping between apps, and that relaxing feeling? Gone. I've been there. I had three—sometimes four—different streaming subscriptions draining money every month. Yet it always felt like I was missing something. That was the last straw. There had to be a smarter way to watch TV in 2025. And there is. Let me tell you about my biggest 'aha!' moment in a long time. Back in the day, it was simple. One box, one remote. You just flipped channels. Today, every media company and production house has its own platform. Sports and series rights are scattered like shotgun pellets. If you want to watch everything—from Premier League and Formula 1 to local SHL games and the latest Hollywood hits—you'd need a wallet as thick as an old phone book. It's a deliberate strategy to lock us in. But for those of us who just want easy access to entertainment without the hassle or crazy costs, it's… exhausting. While searching for a better solution, I stumbled across a term I had heard before but never truly understood: IPTV. And no—it's not super technical or complicated. Quite the opposite. Imagine combining the best of old-school TV (all your channels in one place) with the best of the new era (the freedom to watch whatever, whenever, wherever). In its simplest form, it's TV streamed through your internet connection. This was a total game-changer for me. Suddenly, everything was right there—in one single app. I'm glad you asked! It's easy to get nerdy here, but let me break it down to the three things I personally love the most: And I'm not just talking about standard Swedish channels. I mean global sports, the latest blockbusters straight from the cinema (VOD – Video on Demand), thousands of series, and even international news channels. Jumping from a Djurgården match to a brand-new documentary without switching apps is so liberating. Let's be honest—this is a huge reason. I went from paying over 800 SEK/month for various services to a fraction of that. For more content. That's tough to beat. I can watch on my Smart TV in the living room, my tablet in the kitchen, or my phone on the bus. Perfect for summer cabins—or when the family can't agree on what to watch. Here's where you need to be a little smart. The entire experience hinges on which provider you choose. There are lots of IPTV services out there, and quality varies widely. I did the hard work—testing different options and reading endless forum threads. The key is to find a reliable service with a broad offering and good support. After a lot of research, I found an IPTV provider that ticked all the boxes. Setup was super easy—basically just download an app and enter a code. Within ten minutes, I had access to an entire world of entertainment. What really sold me was how well-tailored the service was for us in the Nordics. Finding a solid IPTV Nordic provider that brings together everything from SVT's archive to the hottest local sports leagues felt like finding a digital home. Make sure you have a stable internet connection (at least 30 Mbps is recommended for HD streaming). That's the key to a buffer-free experience. IPTV doesn't use more data than streaming Netflix in high quality, but a solid connection makes all the difference. Today, watching TV feels logical again. One app, one interface, endless options. I've rediscovered the joy of aimlessly channel-surfing on a Tuesday night and stumbling across a classic movie—or a sport I've never watched before. I'm not saying you should cancel all your subscriptions tomorrow. But if you, like me, are tired of overpaying for a fragmented and frustrating experience, it might be worth exploring a smarter alternative. For me, it's meant more entertainment, lower costs, and—most importantly—less stress. Now I'm curious—what show or sport are you most looking forward to this fall? Drop a comment below!
