‘Sexy' reason behind wild lines in Sydney
If you're not a fan of And Just Like That…, you'll have no idea what that means.
But if you love glutinous breads and hot men, you'll want to keep reading.
Long story short, in the Sex and the City sequel series, character Anthony Marentino launches 'Hot Fellas' as a bread delivery service staffed by good-looking men that eventually expands into a brick-and-mortar shop.
Now, HBO Max has brought the carby haunt to life Down Under, with an activation in Darlinghurst this weekend from 8am-12pm Saturday and Sunday, until sold out.
And fans certainly showed up, snaking through Taylor Square and down Flinders Street to get some of the delicious free treats on offer, including a delicious Vegemite Babka.
Buttermilk croissants are also available, said to be golden on the outside, soft in the middle, and perfect with a cup of Joe, which can also be found in the cafe.
Golden Gaytime Cream Puffs have been popular and are the most eye-catching of the pastries.
It's a hybrid between the classic ice cream and a cream puff pastry, with a tasty toffee and vanilla cream filling inside.
It's proving to be the ultimate brekkie, and Sydneysiders have been lapping it up, with fans queuing early Friday morning to grab limited-edition merch and meet some Hot Fellas, dressed in open-chested denim jumpsuits and looking buff.
On TikTok, visitors have been living their best Carrie Bradshaw lives and giving the pop-up rave reviews.
One blogger called it 'every bit as steamy (and delicious) as it sounds,' while another foodie said the pop-up was 'so well done'.
'The coffee was delicious too,' they added.
'Run don't walk,' another urged.
The activation follows a similarly successful one in the Big Apple two weeks ago.

New La Bohème promises Aussie cast, 'dazzling fishnets'
Opera Australia is promising a "glittering reimagining" of La Bohème, Puccini's tragedy of star-crossed lovers in Paris, ahead of opening night at Sydney Opera House on Saturday. Performed by an all-Australian cast, the production moves the action of one of the world's most popular operas forward about 100 years from 1830s Paris to 1930s Weimar Republic Berlin. The company said opera-goers could expect the fresh take on the original bohemian love story to transport "audiences to the dazzling fishnets and fairy lights world" of the late Weimar era - a time of cultural flourishing in Germany. There would be glamorous costumes and grand sets to go with the "universal themes of love, friendship and loss", Opera Australia said. "La Bohème is a story that transcends time and place and has been moving audiences around the world for generations," it said. Opera Australia - the nation's largest performing arts company - hopes the fan-favourite can boost box office takings as it tries to turn around a 2024 slump in audience numbers and an operating deficit of $10.6 million. It is also trying to bounce back from 2024's loss of Jo Davies as artistic director, which it blamed on differences of opinion on artistic innovation and commercial imperatives. The company this week named Alex Budd, current director of Canberra Theatre Centre, as its new boss, seven months after Fiona Allan abruptly left the top job at the Sydney-based company. In announcing Mr Budd's appointment, Opera Australia said it backed him to strengthen its position as "the nation's premier opera company". Other key changes place Glyn Davis as board chairman and Italian maestro Andrea Battistoni as music director. Marking its 70th anniversary this year, Opera Australia has also recently announced a return to some of its milestone productions. Its Sydney 2026 program includes Moffatt Oxenbould's production of Madama Butterfly and Graeme Murphy's The Merry Widow. In Melbourne, highlights are the city's first new production of La Bohème in 15 years, as well as La Traviata directed by Sarah Giles.

Sydney Sweeney hailed for professionalism on set of The Housemaid while engagement was 'falling apart'
Sydney Sweeney "didn't bring any issues" to the set of The Housemaid while her engagement was "falling apart". The film's director, Paul Feig, has praised the Euphoria star for maintaining her professionalism at work despite dealing with the breakdown of her relationship with her former fiancé, Jonathan Davino, whom she dated for seven years. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Paul said: 'She was completely present emotionally.' He continued: 'And I know she was going through some things when this was going on — I mean, now everybody knows about her engagement falling apart and breaking off and all that." That didn't stop the Bridesmaids helmer checking in on her. He recalled: 'I'd say, 'Hey, are you OK?' and she'd go, 'I'm fine, I'm great!' but not defensively.' In the same interview, Sydney, 27, was asked if she and film producer Jonathan, 42, will continue working together under their Fifty-Fifty Films banner. She said: 'I'm going to keep all of my personal stuff out of it." Sydney - who got engaged to Jonathan in 2022 - confirmed she was single in May when asked by The Times newspaper, simply replying: "Yes." The confirmation of Sydney's breakup came after it had been claimed by insiders that she had become "overwhelmed" by the thought of planning a wedding and instead chose to focus on her hectic schedule instead. A source told People: "She's exactly where she wants to be. Most people would feel overwhelmed by her working schedule this year, but not Syd. She's all about working right now and very excited about all her projects. "What did make her overwhelmed, though, was her relationship and her wedding. She didn't feel right about it." "She's in the middle of this magical career that she could only dream of a few years ago. This is what she wants to focus on right now. "She's not ready to settle down. They only lasted for this long because it was hard for her to break it off. They didn't split because there is no love. They split because she just wants to focus on her career right now."

Beyond The Valley leads 10th birthday bash with Dom Dolla, Addison Rae, Kid Cudi, Turnstile
Beyond The Valley's celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, and is enlisting Dom Dolla, Addison Rae, Kid Cudi and Turnstile as headliners, and a heap more of party starters to celebrate. Punters at Barunah Plains on Wadawurrung Country will ring out 2025 with a countdown set from Australia's most celebrated moustache (and DJ) as Dom Dolla returns to BTV after an explosive past few years. Having played some of the world's biggest stages — including selling out Madison Square Garden twice and going feral at Lollapalooza, EDC, Ultra Miami and more — he's ready to send off the year in style. Dom's good friend and 'FOREVER' collaborator Kid Cudi is also returning to Australia for his first shows here in more than a decade. A renowned live performer, the pioneer will blast through his catalogue of hits, from 'Day 'N' Nite' and beyond. Plus, pop breakthrough Addison Rae, who has already announced her first-ever Australian shows for November, is returning to our stages just a month later. And who better to bring the ecstatic energy than US punk band Turnstile? That's far from all. JoJo — yes, the icon behind 'Leave (Get Out)' — will play an Australian-exclusive set, while US producer 070 Shake, 17-time Hottest 100 placers Spacey Jane and Australian indie legends The Temper Trap are also all heading to BTV. On the floor-filler side, expect sets from Ireland's sledgehammer house titan KETTAMA, France's finest I Hate Models, Dutch DJ Chris Stussy, Germany's Ben Böhmer, Australia's own Luude as well as house-funk act Channel Tres and plenty more. You'll also be able to catch Balu Brigada, NYC it-band Fcukers, alt-pop star Julia Wolf, glitch-pop act Jane Remover, wunderkind glaive, and plenty of local faves, including Sydney inner-west rockers EGOISM, RnB act BOY SODA, Mallrat, DICE and more. And if you need to take a break from dancing, there's always The Lounge Room, a new space hosted by Kat Sasso featuring a set of talks from Australia's leading podcasters, comedians, thinkers and more. You can find the announced 90+ act line-up below, with more to come. Hyped? The official presale goes on sale Wednesday 27 August 6pm AEST, with the general release on Thursday 28 August 12pm AEST.
