American Eagle Says Sydney Sweeney Campaign ‘Always Was About the Jeans' After Backlash
American Eagle has finally issued a response to the controversy over its new 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' ads, insisting in a new statement that the campaign 'is and always was about the jeans.' Since it arrived last week, the campaign has turned into a culture war flashpoint, largely because of the way the tag line partly hinges on the homophone of 'jeans' and 'genes.' Some posters, for instance, read 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Genes,' with 'genes' crossed out and 'jeans' scribbled beneath. More from Rolling Stone Meme-Stock Traders Thrilled at Outrage Over American Eagle Ads Starring Sydney Sweeney Doja Cat Spoofs Sydney Sweeney's Controversial American Eagle Campaign 'Echo Valley' Is the Trashiest A-List Lifetime Movie You've Ever Seen In another video (one that Doja Cat mocked on TikTok), Sweeney reads the following copy: 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color. My jeans are blue.' The decision to pair Sweeney — who has blonde hair and blue eyes — with a tagline like 'has great jeans/genes' has prompted some on the left to accuse the campaign of subtly (or not-so-subtly) dog-whistling white supremacy and eugenics in Trump's America. Meanwhile, some on the far right have celebrated the campaign for allegedly doing just that, though most have leaned into the strange politicization of Sweeney's body as some kind of harbinger of the 'death of woke.' In its new statement Friday, American Eagle tried to put some distance between itself, Sweeney, and the controversy. 'We continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way,' the company said. 'Great jeans look good on everyone.' (Sweeney has yet to comment on the controversy herself.) Sweeney previously addressed the way others have politicized her appearance, telling NME last year, 'There's not anything I can do.' She added: 'I think it's important to be aware of everything and then use that information however I may well. But I'm just being me, that's all.'

Absolutely Everything We Know About Calvin Harris' Wife Vick Hope
Vick Hop and Calvin Harris have announced the birth of their first child, a baby boy called Micah. Harris took to Instagram to praise his 'superhero' wife, Vick Hope, with a series of photos showing his followers the moments after the birth. 'My wife is a superhero and I am in complete awe of her primal wisdom! Just so grateful. We love you so much Micah,' he wrote. Here's everything you need know about BBC Radio 1 host Vick Hope. Vick Hope is a TV and radio presenter, and author. She was born and raised in Newcastle upon Tyne, before moving to Cambridge for university, where she studied French, Spanish and Portuguese. In an interview with A-List, Hope explained she took night classes to help her get into Cambridge. 'I was so determined,' she told the outlet. 'I'd read about Cambridge University and my teachers said it was a risk and told me to go to another uni but I'm very hard working and my school didn't do the subjects I needed and wanted to do, so I taught myself Spanish at adult education classes to do my A-level exam and same with further maths, which I taught myself in a year.' She continued: 'I wanted to stand out from the other kids who had gone to Eton. I was strong willed and my parents instilled this notion of hard graft.' Vick currently hosts three shows a week for Radio 1 - Going Home with Vick and Jordan, Life Hacks and Official Chart: First Look. In recent years, Vick has also become a regular face on our TV screens. She has hosted kids shows including CITV's HOW , and worked as a roving reporter for This Morning. She also led Channel 4's coverage of the Paralympic Games in Tokyo last year. Vick Hope was born on 25 September 1989, making her 35 years old. Vick and Harris' relationship actually goes as far back as 2007. In an interview with You Magazine, Vick revealed she rejected him when he asked her on a date. 'It's something that we laughed about on our first proper date,' she told the outlet. 'We still laugh about it now.' It wasn't until 2022 that rumours of a romance began circling between the pair, after they were seen together at Chelsea Flower Show - marking their first public appearance. This appearance also sparked engagement rumours, with Hope telling Hello Magazine 'You know what, I was very overwhelmed by the interest in it, but I'm keeping my private life private. I've never really experienced this before about my private life, but it's just for us.' It wasn't until 2023 that the pair went Instagram official on a trip to Ibiza, before getting married in September that year. It's thought that they celebrated with a Glastonbury style wedding, with reports even suggesting that Nile Rodgers and his band Chic were flown in from the US to perform for the star-studded guest list. In their adorable Instagram post, the couple shared they'd chosen the name Micah for their son. '20th of July our boy arrived. Micah is here!' Harris wrote on Instagram. 'My wife is a superhero and I am in complete awe of her primal wisdom! Just so grateful. We love you so much Micah.' Yes! You can keep up to date with all things Vic at her handle @vicknhope.

Liam Neeson's net worth as ‘The Naked Gun' hits theaters
Liam Neeson's acting career spans more than four decades, and now in his 70s, he remains a highly in-demand Hollywood mainstay. Early in his career, he tackled dramatic roles in theater, film, and television, and by his late 50s, he became a bona fide action star in the same league of A-list actors as Jason Statham and Denzel Washington - taking down bad guys in big-budget films. Neeson is expanding his repertoire to comedy with the revival of the Naked Gun franchise as the son of Detective Frank Drebin - portrayed in previous films by the late actor Leslie Nielsen, who nailed the role with his trademark deadpan delivery. The Naked Gun opened on August 2, 2025. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter With about 100 film credits to his name, Neeson has compiled a prolific resume, and he continues to make bank on the big screen. Here's how much Neeson is worth in 2025 and how he makes his sources estimate Neeson's net worth at between $120 million and $150 million. Finance Monthly, a website that tracks personal finance, put Neeson's net worth at $150 million.

After Taken, for which he was paid $5 million, he reportedly earned $15 million for the first sequel and $20 million for the third. Forbes ranked Neeson 22nd among the world's highest-paid actors in 2015, earning $19.5 million. As an action star now transitioning into comedy, he continues to command top dollar. Neeson also has used his A-List status for endorsements, such as starring in a 2016 commercial for LG's television sets. There's no publicly available information on Neeson's salary for The Naked Gun. With a reported budget of $42 million, Neeson likely earned a paycheck smaller than that of some of his other recent films, but it's possible that his contract allows him to take a percentage of the film's profits on top of his base salary. Liam Neeson was born in Ballymena, County Antrim, Northern Ireland, on June 7, 1952. He worked several jobs, including as a truck driver and an amateur boxer, and he initially planned on a career as a teacher, according to his biography compiled by the British Independent Film Awards (BIFA).

His big break into the movie industry came when film director John Boorman noticed him in the play Of Mice and Men and proceeded to cast Neeson to play Sir Gawain in the King Arthur film Excalibur, released in 1980. Neeson caught the attention of other filmmakers, who cast him in their movies, and throughout the 1980s, he continued to take on supporting roles. He also moved on to Hollywood, appearing in an episode of the iconic TV series Miami Vice and scoring parts in numerous films with industry legends such as Robert De Niro and Clint Eastwood. In 1993, Neeson shot to international stardom by playing German industrialist Oskar Schindler in the titular role of the Steven Spielberg-directed Holocaust film Schindler's List. That led to an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor and furthered greater opportunities - particularly leading roles in big-budget films. In 1999, Neeson played a Jedi master in George Lucas's fourth Star Wars film, Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. In the early 2000s, he also took on supporting roles in big-budget films, including Gangs of New York (2002) and Batman Begins (2005).

The movie marked Neeson's return as a leading man and also ushered him in as an in-demand actor for action movies. Neeson also kept his eye on drama and was slated to play Abraham Lincoln in Steven Spielberg's film about the 15th president, but the role in Lincoln (2012) eventually went to Daniel Day-Lewis. In 2014, Neeson played an outlaw in the action comedy A Million Ways to Die in the West, directed by Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane. In the 2025 reboot of The Naked Gun franchise, Neeson plays Lieutenant Frank Drebin Jr., who leads the Police Squad as his father (played by Leslie Nielsen) did. The movie also stars Pamela Lee Anderson, who is rumored to be Neeson's real-life love interest. MacFarlane reunited with Neeson by serving as a producer on the owns property in the New York City area. In March 2025, he listed his 4,524-square-foot apartment with five bedrooms and five bathrooms for sale, according to Architectural Digest. He purchased the Upper West Side home in 1999 with his late wife, Natasha Richardson, for $4 million. The listed asking price for the property was $10.75 million. Neeson also owns a 6,000-square-foot country home on a 37-acre property in Millbrook, New York, which is about 90 miles north of New York City. Neeson also invests his fame and fortune in philanthropic pursuits. According to Booking Agent Info, which tracks celebrities' endorsements and philanthropy, he has supported the American Foundation for AIDS Research (amFAR) and more than a dozen other charities, focusing on causes such as AIDS and HIV prevention and treatment, children's rights, and emergency relief.
