American Eagle's stock takes off after Trump weighs in on Sydney Sweeney ad furor
Stock in American Eagle is flying after President Donald Trump weighed in on Sydney Sweeney 's jeans ad controversy. Conversations around the clothing brand's punny 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' ad campaign have consumed the internet, so much so that the president gave his two cents on the matter Monday morning. Since then, the brand's stock has skyrocketed. As of Monday afternoon, the company's stock was up 2.57 points, or nearly 24 percent. At 8.56 a.m. Monday, Trump praised the ad and noted the Euphoria star was a registered Republican and 'has the 'HOTTEST' ad out there,' he wrote on Truth Social. The president also took a jab at what he believed to be 'WOKE,' including singer Taylor Swift, writing: 'Being WOKE is for losers, being Republican is what you want to be.' The company's stock started climbing, reaching 12.47 points by 10.15 a.m. At 10.25 a.m., Trump took down the post and reposted it with a corrected spelling of Sweeney's first name. The stock has continued to rise since. The president first weighed in on the ad campaign Sunday. 'She's a registered Republican?' the president asked while speaking to reporters. 'Now I love her ad.' In one video, the blonde-haired blue-eyed actress, wearing an all-denim getup, looks at the camera and says: 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color.' She adds: 'My jeans are blue.' With a pun on the word 'genes,' the narrator then says: 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.' The wordplay is at the heart of the online backlash. Critics say the ad's word choices evoke the language of eugenics – the racist and discredited belief that the human race can be improved through selective breeding. American Eagle has defended the ad campaign. It 'is and always was about the jeans,' the retailer said in a statement Friday. 'We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way,' the statement continued. 'Great jeans look good on everyone.' Sweeney has yet to make a public statement on the matter. Some social media users have claimed that Trump is commenting on the internet debate to latch onto the latest distraction from the Jeffrey Epstein files after the Justice Department issued a memo related to the late sex offender's case last month. But much to the disappointment of many, the memo contained no new revelations. The DOJ confirmed that Epstein died by suicide and said there was no evidence to support the existence of a 'client list' of high profile individuals involved in his alleged sex trafficking scheme. 'When it comes to identifying a distraction from a real issue, we have a current object lesson: Sydney Sweeney = Distraction Jeffrey Epstein = Real issue,' Sarah Longwell, a GOP political strategist and founder of the conservative news site The Bulwark, wrote on X. 'The thing I like most about Sydney Sweeney is that Donald Trump is in the Epstein files,' another X user wrote Monday. 'Donald Trump is posting about Sydney Sweeney and Taylor Swift because he doesn't want to talk about the fact that he's in the Epstein files, doesn't want to talk about rising prices, and doesn't want to talk about the job market being the worst it's been since the last time he was president,' another wrote. 'It's all distraction politics. Don't take the bait.' A chunk of the MAGA base, and politicians on both sides of the aisle, along with others, have demanded heightened transparency around the Epstein case. Although Trump has denied that his name was in the files, the Wall Street Journal reported that DOJ officials told the president in May that his name, among many others, had appeared. Being named in the files does not suggest any wrongdoing. The president is suing the Journal sexually suggestive birthday card for Epstein in 2003. Trump has denied he drew the card.

UFC legend drops YouTube fighter with BRUTAL head kick after becoming enraged by opponent taunting him
Demetrious Johnson might be retired from professional MMA — but he's still not someone you want to taunt inside a cage. The former UFC flyweight king lost his cool during a sparring session with a YouTube fighter — and responded with a brutal head kick that left his opponent sprawled on the mat. Johnson, 38, was filming content for his YouTube channel when things took a tense turn. He was mentoring two fighters from the viral brawling organisation Streetbeefs, known for its backyard-style grudge matches, when one of them — a character nicknamed Winged C — began mocking him mid-round. In footage shared online, Winged C is heard repeatedly calling Johnson 'good boy' — a jibe that appeared to spark a rare flash of rage in the MMA great. 'He kept saying good boy,' Johnson said afterwards. 'Does he realize I'm f***ing 38 years old and have done this for 20 f***ing years? 'I was about to go to a little f***ing dark place... They're always clip farming. It just f***ing pissed me off.' Demetrious Johnson snapped after Streetbeefs MMA fighters disrespected him 😬 — Happy Punch (@HappyPunch) August 4, 2025 Seconds later, Johnson launched a devastating head kick that dropped his opponent on the spot. After collecting himself on the ground, Winged C grinned and said: 'That's the clip, that's the clip shot.' But the reaction from outside the cage pushed Johnson over the edge. Death Sentence, the other Streetbeefs fighter, had been watching the sparring closely and chimed in: 'Wait Mighty Mouse, Mighty Mouse… if that was a real MMA fight...' He didn't get to finish his thought. 'Shut the f*** up!' Johnson snapped, pointing at him furiously. 'Shut up. The show's over. The clowning is over. You want to get good? Or you want to keep up this circus act? Because I don't want to waste my f***ing time with this clown show s***.' Johnson, one of the most technically gifted fighters in MMA history, then delivered a passionate lecture about what the fight game meant to him — and what it should mean to others. 'I'm very passionate about fighting. I'm very passionate about getting people better. But I'm not passionate about trying to look for clips and s***. When I started training 18 years ago, it was about the f***ing money. It wasn't about f***ing clips and views. You guys live in a different generation. That's why you call me "Unc". Yes I am. Now f***ing train.' Pointing again at Winged C, he warned: 'He's been knocked out the same way. When he's 40 he won't be able to put together a sentence.' Later in the video, Death Sentence was filmed speaking one-on-one to camera. Reflecting on the moment, he said: 'It was f**ing embarrassing. It was like a dad yelling at his son for doing too much.'* Johnson, known in MMA circles as Mighty Mouse, retired from professional competition in September last year, ending a legendary career that saw him crowned champion in both the UFC and ONE Championship. He was the UFC's inaugural flyweight champion and held the belt from 2012 to 2018, defending it a record 11 times before losing a controversial split decision to Henry Cejudo. He later moved to ONE Championship in a rare trade deal that sent Ben Askren in the opposite direction. Since retiring, Johnson has become a content creator and mentor.

Ozzy Osbourne bid to trademark Prince of Darkness nickname days before he died
OZZY Osbourne filed documents to trademark his Prince of Darkness moniker just days before he died. Papers show he filed a request for his nickname to be protected against bootleggers on June 13, The Sun can reveal. His UK-based firm Monowise sent the application to the United States Patent and Trademark Office for 'entertainment services, namely providing non-downloadable pre-recorded music via a website'. The company has also asked for trademark protection to sell clothes, games and accessories. Attorneys at the government-run department have yet to rubber-stamp the requests, although a similar application has been passed by UK trademark chiefs. Ozzy performed his farewell gig with Black Sabbath on July 5, raising £140million for charity. But fans may get another chance to see the band on stage. We told last month how Black Sabbath had trademarked their name in virtual reality. This means they could appear as holograms, like ABBA, whose London avatar show Voyage has been running since 2022. Tens of thousands of fans paid their respects to Ozzy at his funeral in his home city of Birmingham last Wednesday. They left a sea of flowers, messages and tributes at Black Sabbath Bench on Broad Street. Yesterday, the city council began gathering up the tributes so they could be stored and handed over to the Osbourne family. A spokesman said: 'They will be passed on to the family as a lasting reminder of the public's affection and support.' LIVE: Ozzy Osbourne's funeral procession travels through Birmingham 3 3
