Why Sydney Sweeney's 2025 Met Gala Look Paid Homage to Kim Novak
Titled Scandalous, the film will focus on the classic American screen star's romance with '50s singer and Rat Pack legend Sammy David Jr, to be played by Industry actor David Jonsson. It will be marked as Met Gala 2025 co-chair Domingo's directorial debut.
Giving us something of a preview to her role and the glamorous, era-appropriate fashions the film will exult, Sydney Sweeney appeared at the Met Gala 2025 in a shimmering black Miu Miu gown that paid homage to Kim Novak. The dress, which features an elegant circular neckline and brooch detail, is a direct reference to what Novak wore in Robert Aldrich's 1967 film The Demon of Women. Even back then, the look Novak wore was a reflection og the sparkly dress and brooch look that one Joan Crawford had worn in the film The Bride Wore Red (1937).
According to Variety, Domingo hopes to shoot his new project this year, after Sweeney's completion of Euphoria season 3.

F1 world reacts to eye-watering detail around Australian GP move for Oscar Piastri
Oscar Piastri is set to emulate a number of Australian motorsport legends by having a grandstand named after him at next year's Australian Formula One Grand Prix. The news has sent fans of the F1 championship leader into a frenzy, with details emerging about the eye-watering cost for tickets to sit in the Piastri Grandstand at next year's grand prix at Albert Park, which takes place from March 5-8. The new stand will be located opposite pit lane on the main straight, in a development that will add to an existing stand at Melbourne's iconic circuit. The Fangio Grandstand will effectively be sectioned into two and capacity will be expanded, with the new Piastri Grandstand incorporating the most premium and sought after seats closest to the start line. It will come at a significant cost to fans lucky enough to snag seats in the new stand though, with the Australian Grand Prix site releasing eye-watering details of the ticket packages for the grand prix in 2026. The cheapest option for a one-day ticket start at $290 for an adult at Friday's practice sessions. There are one-day options for both Saturday $610) and race day Sunday ($835), as well as a two-day pass encompassing both days for a cool $950 per adult. And for the most cashed-up and passionate fans out there, a four-day pass from Thursday to Sunday will set spectators back a whopping $1045. Piastri will join a number of other legendary Australian drivers to have a grandstand named after him, including Jack Brabham, Arthur Waite, Alan Jones, Daniel Ricciardo and Mark Webber. And the 24-year-old Victorian admits it's a 'surreal' feeling and an incredible honour to be recognised for his achievements, as Piastri chases Australia's first F1 world championship in 45 years. The Aussie driver took to social media to deliver the massive news and says he can't wait to see the reception from fan at his home grand prix next year. "I'm very excited by the news that I'll have my own grandstand at next year's Australian Grand Prix," Piastri said. "It feels very surreal, and I never thought this would happen but the support is incredible and I can't wait to see it all come together next March. Seeing all the fans in my own grandstand directly opposite the McLaren garage is going to be an amazing experience and I'm really looking forward to feeling the energy and the atmosphere." Only gone and got a grandstand — Oscar Piastri (@OscarPiastri) August 18, 2025 Piastri's six grands prix wins in 2025 are already more in a single season than any other Australian driver since the world championship started in 1950. He has finished on the podium in 12 of the 14 races so far this season, with 10 more to go, and leads the F1 standings with 284 points. McLaren teammate Lando Norris is second on 275 points and also has 12 podiums, while Red Bull's four-time defending champion Max Verstappen is third on 187 points. Mercedes driver George Russell is fourth in the standings on 172, while Ferrari's Charles Leclerc (151 points) rounds out the top-five ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix starting later this month.

New Yorker writer who trashed Sydney Sweeney, deletes social media after anti-White posts resurface
"New Yorker Staffer Slammed for Anti-White Posts After Sydney Sweeney Attack" A New Yorker staff writer rushed to scrub her social media last week after users resurfaced old controversial tweets in response to her article criticizing actress Sydney Sweeney, which described the star as an "Aryan Princess." Doreen St. Félix deleted her X account after critics began sharing her old posts, the New York Post reported. These posts — some of them more than a decade old — included statements like, "I hate white men," and that "white capitalism" is the "reason the earth is in peril." The unearthing of St. Félix's old posts happened in response to an August 2 New Yorker article she penned in which she condemned Sweeney's American Eagle jeans ad. "The allusion is incoherent, unless, of course, we root around for other meanings, and we don't have to search for long: genes, referring to Sweeney's famously large breasts; genes, referring to her whiteness," St. Félix wrote, referencing the ad's tagline, "Sydney Sweeney has Great Jeans." "The American Eagle campaign, its presentation of Americana as a zombie slop of mustangs, denim, and good genes, is lowest-common-denominator stuff," St. Félix continued. "Sweeney, on the precipice of totalizing fame, has an adoring legion, the most extreme of whom want to recruit her as a kind of Aryan princess." When Swenney's ad for American Eagle was released, it was met with backlash from some progressives and mainstream media critics who accused the ad of promoting "whiteness" and linked the campaign to the "eugenics movement." After coming across St. Félix's article, Manhattan Institute senior fellow Christopher Rufo took screenshots of the staff writer's old social media posts and published them to his X account. "Shocker, the author of the insane New Yorker article about Sydney Sweeney is an outright anti-white racist," he wrote. Many of the old posts derided White people. In a 2014 post, St. Félix wrote, "I hate white men. You all are the worst. Go nurse your f------ Oedipal complexes and leave the earth to the browns and the women." As Rufo continued sharing her old posts to his more than 800,000 followers, he shared a screenshot of her having deleted her account in response to the backlash. "Doreen St. Félix, the New Yorker writer who says that white people 'fill [her] with a lot of hate' and believes that whites are genetically predisposed to causing plagues, has deleted her account," he wrote. After calling out The New Yorker for not denouncing the writer, Rufo also shared that the outlet had blocked him on X. St. Félix and The New Yorker did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Props from Pittsburgh-filmed Hershey biopic hit the auction block
Filming of the Hershey biopic has wrapped, and now Pittsburghers have a chance to own a piece of its production. From period furnishings and antiques to vintage set decor, props from "Hershey," a movie chronicling the life of Pennsylvania chocolatier Milton Hershey, are hitting the auction block. "Whether you're a film buff, a Hershey aficionado, or a collector of Americana, this auction offers a one-of-a-kind chance to acquire pieces that blend storytelling, craftsmanship, and Pennsylvania pride," a press release from Carey Auctions said. Bidding has already begun online, and there's an in-person preview scheduled for Sunday, Aug. 24, from noon until 4 p.m. at the Carey Auctions facility in Blairsville, Pennsylvania. One auction ends on Wednesday, Aug. 27 and the other ends on Thursday, Aug. 28. "Hershey" filmed across the Pittsburgh area this summer, transforming areas like the South Side, Ligonier and Butler County into scenes from the past. Starring Finn Wittrock of "American Horror Story" and Alexandra Daddario of "The White Lotus," the movie is set in the late 1800s and early 1900s as it follows Hershey's quest to build his chocolate empire. "Against all odds, Milton achieved great success, but unlike a lot of other wealthy men of his time, he shared his success with the working people and community around him," director Mark Waters said in a news release announcing the movie earlier this year. "The core of HERSHEY, the movie, will be the special love story between Milton and Catherine Hershey, who inspired his greatest legacy - the creation of Milton Hershey School. I'm excited to have Finn Wittrock and Alexandra Daddario to portray these two visionaries, who believed in leaving the world a better place than they found it - the kind of wonderful, true story that audiences are hungry for right now." The film is set to release in 2026.
