Sydney Sweeney discusses collapse of her engagement
The 27-year-old Euphoria star had been engaged to longtime partner Jonathan Davino, 41, for three years before they abruptly split earlier this year. The TV star has been reasonably tight-lipped over the end of her relationship but has now given a very to-the-point response when discussing her romantic life. Opening up to The Sunday Times, Sweeney was asked if she was still planning her wedding - and she bluntly replied, "No." Delicately pressing on, the interviewer then asked the actress if she was single, and she confirmed her status by responding, "Yes."

Sebastian Fundora lobs first fight build-up barb at Tim Tszyu's team as rematch confirmed
Tim Tszyu has boldly promised to 'reclaim the throne' in his world title rematch with Sebastian Fundora, while 'The Towering Inferno' lobbed the first grenade of the build-up by claiming his more experienced team will be the difference on fight night. Tszyu is in America for the official announcement of the bout, which will be a co-main event to Manny Pacquiao's welterweight world title comeback against Mario Barrios at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on July 19 (July 20 in Australia). Tszyu and Fundora had a tense face-off after the official press conference in Los Angeles on Wednesday morning (Australian time), where the American threw out the first jab of the lead-up. Tszyu's team copped months of criticism in the fallout of their first fight last year after being unable to stop the river of blood flowing into his eyes from a cut on his head. The Aussie had dominated the opening two rounds of the bout before an elbow to the head opened the cut and changed the course of his career. Tszyu has stuck solid to the same team that worked his corner that night, with trainer Igor Goloubev, cutman Mark Gambin and cornerman David Barker all working his comeback win over Joey Spencer in April. Fundora is managed by the veteran Sampson Lewkowicz, and is trained by his father, while his sister, Gabriela, is the undisputed flyweight world champion. And he says his team will make all the difference on fight night. 'We had a plan for the last fight, we'll have a plan for this one,' he said. 'Who has a better team, that's who's going to win the fight and for sure, my team's better. 'I just have to listen to my dad and I'll be great.' Tszyu will again keep the same crew he had in their first bout, and wants to repeat the dose of the opening two rounds, when he hurt Fundora with a pinpoint right hand. 'It's a new chapter, and even thought things didn't go my way, I intend to pick up where I left off,' he said. 'I know Fundora is one hell of a fighter, one hell of a champion. 'He's the current king at 154, but it's my turn to reclaim the throne.' Tszyu had been preparing to fight Keith Thurman in his Las Vegas debut 14 months ago, before the big-talking American pulled out injured. That left the Aussie just two weeks to prepare for the 197cm tall Fundora. 'I've had 10 weeks to prepare for his style, which is a blessing,' he said. 'Knowing you have two weeks to prepare for Fundora is quite hard. 'That's no excuses. It's about working out a certain game-plan and working out the mistakes that were made before. 'Things were going according to plan (before the cut). 'I can't go back and relive it, but I have to put on something that I put on before. It's simple, put on some boxing. 'I'm already prepared. If you tell me tomorrow we can go at it, we can go. It doesn't bother me.' Despite his height and reach, Fundora loves fighting on the inside, but Tszyu said he has the strategy to take him down. 'Me and Fundora, we both like to press and we both bring the action,' he said. 'Fighting against Fundora can't be technical. 'You can't really stay on your distance and take your time with him because he's so tall. 'You have to make it a fight and bring the action. 'I'm just going to chop him down. Chop the tree down from the legs up.' Meanwhile Fundora gave a blunt response when asked for a prediction on how the fight will go. 'Repeat, simple as that,' he said. 'I don't think this fight goes the distance.'

Lawyer and reality star Tom Girardi sentenced to prison on 86th birthday
An unhappy birthday. Tom Girardi was sentenced to prison for fraud today, which happens to be his 86th birthday. A Los Angeles judge ruled that the disgraced former lawyer will serve seven years and three months behind bars, according to NBC News. He was also reportedly ordered to pay $US2.3 million in restitution to his victims, a $US35,000 fine and surrender to begin his prison sentence on July 17. Girardi's attorneys had been fighting for their elderly client to serve his sentence at a long-term care facility due to his alleged late on-set Alzheimer's and dementia diagnoses. A sworn affidavit written by Dr. Nathan Lavid, a Long Beach forensic and clinical psychiatrist, and previously obtained by Page Six read, 'Dementia impairs his ability to understand the hearing. His emotional distress is directly related to his dementia and exacerbated by his confusion.' However, the estranged husband of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne was found competent by the judge to serve in his fraud trial last year. He was then forced to go to court to battle a February 2023 indictment that accused him of embezzling $US15 million from his former Girardi & Keese clients. The law firm co-founder had been charged with five counts of wire fraud. Girardi was asked during the trial about the missing settlement funds in the case of his former clients, including Joe Ruigomez, a young man who was badly burned due to a gas line. 'I wouldn't have said that,' the disbarred lawyer said when asked why he told Ruigomez that his settlement was for $US5 million instead of $US53 million. 'I didn't intentionally ever tell anyone the wrong thing.' His victims also included the families of those killed in the Lion Air 610 flight in 2018. Girardi was found guilty on four counts of wire fraud in August 2024 after less than a day of jury deliberations. Jayne — who filed to divorce her ex in November 2020 but has yet to finalise the split — said on Real Housewives following the trial verdict, 'I could have never saw this coming.' 'Tom was loved, he was admired, he was accomplished,' the Bravo star, 53, continued in a confessional interview. 'And this is how his story ended. I don't know that I'll ever get over that.' The former couple was married for 22 years. They shared no children together.

‘No one would ever believe this': Bomb squad called in after Ellen Pompeo detained at US airport
Ellen Pompeo has revealed she was held 'for an hour' and had the bomb squad called on her while travelling in the US. The Grey's Anatomy star set off alarms while going through airport security in March because of something she had purchased from the trendy, upscale Los Angeles grocery store, Erewhon. 'I had a bag of sunflower seeds, like organic sunflower seeds from Erewhon, so they were probably the most expensive sunflower seeds money can buy,' Pompeo told New York-based magazine Travel + Leisure. The 55-year-old is one of highest-paid television actresses. She revealed in 2018 she had signed a deal to earn more than $20 million a year with Grey's Anatomy. Pompeo spoke openly about her pay to inspire young women in Hollywood to fight for themselves. But this year, her expensive taste for sunflower seeds almost made her miss a flight. 'They literally held me for an hour, and they brought the bomb squad in,' Pompeo said of the March incident. 'And I was like, what is happening? Is this a joke? They said it was most likely a chemical on the packaging of these super expensive, fancy, organic, clean sunflower seeds. My protein on the plane!' She wasn't allowed to just throw them away as the bomb squad needed to assess the bag, the publication reported. 'I almost missed the flight,' Pompeo said. 'It was really like no one would ever believe this. I was texting my publicist saying, 'I might not get on this plane, and you're never gonna guess why.'' Security checks at US airports have garnered much attention in recent months amid Donald Trump's 'enhanced vetting' and cases of tourists being denied entry on arrival, and at times, strip searched and thrown in prison. Pompeo also gave Travel + Leisure insight into what it's like flying as a celebrity, aside from snacking on sunflower seeds. The actress revealed she wears a hat and tries not to talk on the plane, even resorting to using sign language with her kids, because people recognise her voice. 'The minute I open my mouth, everybody turns,' she said. The destination she is most eager to travel to is Japan. 'That's one place that they all really are excited to go, and we haven't gone yet,' said the mum of three. Japan is currently a big favourite among Australians too, giving beloved Bali a run for its money.
