Sydney Sweeney trolls bathwater soap critics as she's seen for first time since 'creepy' collaboration emerged
Some Sydney Sweeney fans have not reacted warmly to her latest brand partnership — a limited-edition Dr. Squatch soap bar containing her used bathwater. The Spokane, Washington-bred actress announced the item, called Bathwater Bliss, on Thursday, sparking backlash from her 25 million Instagram followers who called the product 'weird' and 'gross.' And on Friday, she subtly trolled the critics as she stepped out in a white bathrobe while on set for a campaign with HEYDUDE shoes. According to the Squatch brand, the soap contains actual droplets of Sydney's used bathwater. It's meant to be a nod to her Pacific Northwest roots and a cheeky answer to the internet's obsession with the blonde bombshell, per GQ. Some Sydney Sweeney fans have not reacted warmly to her latest brand partnership, a limited-edition Dr. Squatch soap bar containing her used bathwater. On Friday she subtly trolled the critics as she stepped out in a white bathrobe while on set for a campaign with HEYDUDE shoes In Thursday's social media post, Sydney wrote in the caption, 'You kept asking about my bathwater after the @drsquatch ad… so we kept it. 'Introducing Sydney's Bathwater Bliss! A very real, very limited-edition soap made with my actual bathwater. Available on 6/6/25 at ✨.' One fan wrote under the photo of the product — which features an animation of the beauty — 'Sydney honey I love you but I don't know about this.' In her interview with GQ, the Euphoria sensation said, 'I honestly think it's a really fun, full-circle moment, because fans always joke about wanting my bathwater…' Plugging the soap, she described, 'It's super soft, it's really pretty. I'm looking at it right now. It's marbly and has blues and a little bit of brown in it.' She also explained how Dr. Squatch managed to get her bathwater into the cleansing bar. 'When we were at the [Dr. Squatch] shoot, they had a tub for me. And I actually got in there and I took some soap, and we had a nice little bath and they took the water,' she explained. 'So it's my real bathwater. I wanted to have it lean towards my home roots, so there's this really outdoorsy scent of, like, pine and earthy moss and fir. So it smells super manly. But then there's some city bathwater mixed in.' Amid the pushback, one delighted fan joked in a comment, 'Thanks, I'll take 100,' and collected nearly 3,000 likes. Someone else wrote facetiously, 'This is edible, right?' Others were in disbelief, with one social media user commenting, 'no way this is a real thing.' Meanwhile, another wrote, 'Hey, so let's be serious,' while a different person begged, 'Can we not normalize this.' In October 2024, Sweeney starred as the Dr. Squatch's sultry Body Wash Genie to promote its Natural Body Wash line. 'Hello you dirty little boys, are you interested in my body... wash?' she teased in the 30-second spot, which ignited the bathwater 'requests.' 'Well, you can't have it, because this isn't for boys. It's for men. This is Dr. Squatch Natural Body Wash with long-lasting, natural aromas like wood barrel bourbon, pine tar, coconut castaway, and fresh falls,' she recited. In conclusion, she promised, 'You'll finally get the attention you deserve, so go to today and quit being a dirty little boy!'

Crocs (NASDAQ:CROX) Surprises With Strong Q1
Footwear company Crocs (NASDAQ:CROX) reported Q1 CY2025 results topping the market's revenue expectations , but sales were flat year on year at $937.3 million. Its non-GAAP profit of $3 per share was 20.6% above analysts' consensus estimates. Is now the time to buy Crocs? Find out in our full research report. Revenue: $937.3 million vs analyst estimates of $909.1 million (flat year on year, 3.1% beat) Adjusted EPS: $3 vs analyst estimates of $2.49 (20.6% beat) Adjusted EBITDA: $250.3 million vs analyst estimates of $216.2 million (26.7% margin, 15.8% beat) Operating Margin: 23.8%, in line with the same quarter last year Free Cash Flow was -$82.61 million compared to -$43.32 million in the same quarter last year Constant Currency Revenue rose 1.4% year on year (6.9% in the same quarter last year) Market Capitalization: $5.65 billion "We are incredibly proud of our better-than-expected first quarter performance despite what has been an increasingly volatile macroeconomic backdrop since the onset of the year. Both our Crocs and HEYDUDE brands contributed to the outperformance with gross margins, operating margins, adjusted earnings per share, and cash flow coming in above plan. Our financial strength enabled us to return shareholder value through $61 million in share repurchases, while remaining well within our net leverage target range," said Andrew Rees, Chief Executive Officer. Founded in 2002, Crocs (NASDAQ:CROX) sells casual footwear and is known for its iconic clog shoe. A company's long-term performance is an indicator of its overall quality. Any business can put up a good quarter or two, but many enduring ones grow for years. Luckily, Crocs's sales grew at an exceptional 27.5% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years. Its growth beat the average consumer discretionary company and shows its offerings resonate with customers. We at StockStory place the most emphasis on long-term growth, but within consumer discretionary, a stretched historical view may miss a company riding a successful new product or trend. Crocs's recent performance shows its demand has slowed significantly as its annualized revenue growth of 4.2% over the last two years was well below its five-year trend. Crocs also reports sales performance excluding currency movements, which are outside the company's control and not indicative of demand. Over the last two years, its constant currency sales averaged 3.9% year-on-year growth. Because this number aligns with its normal revenue growth, we can see that Crocs has properly hedged its foreign currency exposure. This quarter, Crocs's $937.3 million of revenue was flat year on year but beat Wall Street's estimates by 3.1%. Looking ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to grow 2.5% over the next 12 months, a slight deceleration versus the last two years. This projection is underwhelming and indicates its products and services will face some demand challenges. Unless you've been living under a rock, it should be obvious by now that generative AI is going to have a huge impact on how large corporations do business. While Nvidia and AMD are trading close to all-time highs, we prefer a lesser-known (but still profitable) stock benefiting from the rise of AI. Click here to access our free report one of our favorites growth stories. Crocs's operating margin might fluctuated slightly over the last 12 months but has generally stayed the same, averaging 25.2% over the last two years. This profitability was elite for a consumer discretionary business thanks to its efficient cost structure and economies of scale. This quarter, Crocs generated an operating profit margin of 23.8%, in line with the same quarter last year. This indicates the company's overall cost structure has been relatively stable. We track the long-term change in earnings per share (EPS) for the same reason as long-term revenue growth. Compared to revenue, however, EPS highlights whether a company's growth is profitable. Crocs's EPS grew at an astounding 54.1% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years, higher than its 27.5% annualized revenue growth. This tells us the company became more profitable on a per-share basis as it expanded. In Q1, Crocs reported EPS at $3, down from $3.02 in the same quarter last year. Despite falling year on year, this print easily cleared analysts' estimates. Over the next 12 months, Wall Street expects Crocs's full-year EPS of $13.12 to shrink by 4.2%. We enjoyed seeing Crocs beat analysts' constant currency revenue expectations this quarter. We were also glad its EPS and EBITDA outperformed Wall Street's estimates. Zooming out, we think this quarter featured some important positives. The stock traded up 2.7% to $103.72 immediately following the results. Indeed, Crocs had a rock-solid quarterly earnings result, but is this stock a good investment here? What happened in the latest quarter matters, but not as much as longer-term business quality and valuation, when deciding whether to invest in this stock. We cover that in our actionable full research report which you can read here, it's free.

Jelly Roll's farm life brings peace and healing from dark times
With his career at an all-time high, Jelly Roll has learned to fully embrace the moments of solitude he finds amid his hectic schedule. In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, the "Save Me" crooner — who has recently partnered up with shoe brand HEYDUDE to announce the highly anticipated "Second Chances" collaboration restock — opened up about how his farm in Nashville has kept him "on track" when it comes to avoiding the pitfalls of fame and success. "Of all the things I've done, having cows seems to be one of the most surprising to people," Jelly Roll said with a laugh. "And yes, the Hey Dudes have absolutely been over to the farm. But seriously, I want to say thank you for asking about the farm because it reminds me to bring something up. I think it really does in a real way represent what a second chance can really do. But also the reality of getting to that point, too." "I've been honest about how there can still be a real dark corner between my ears at times," he continued. "Ultimately, the farm is someplace that I find a lot of peace in — that space and separation — getting out there and just walking. It's made a big difference for me on a lot of levels. It was a chance to [find] things that keep me on track. And I think it's good when you can share that too." Before finding megastardom, the Nashville-born singer, 40, had his share of personal struggles. After first going into juvenile detention at age 13, Jelly Roll was in and out of jail for years to follow. While behind bars, the country star found sobriety and a new understanding and appreciation for his faith. "I wouldn't be the man I am today if it wasn't for what I went through. I think it empowered me. I think it gave me my voice," he told Fox News Digital at the 2023 CMAs. "It taught me a lot about overcoming. It taught me a lot about changing and the ability to change." "I was a horrible human for decades, and to just be able to turn that around and give a message in the music and help people… and just try to give back as much as I can in every way I can is very indicative of where I came from and how important it is to me to always reach back." His collaboration with Hey Dude is just another way for him to give back. "Ultimately, the farm is someplace that I find a lot of peace in — that space and separation — getting out there and just walking." "I don't think that you can honestly tell my story or look back and talk about where I am now from where I was and not believe in or want to encourage the belief in second chances," he told Fox News Digital. "Second chances have a domino effect that impacts not only one person's life but lives but beyond just that one person." "It trickles down into their family, friends, communities and beyond," he continued. "My dad always said that change starts in your heart, then goes to your home, then goes out to your street, then your community and beyond that. The ability to believe in that change, often through the chance to do something differently or make amends from before, is all part of that." Jelly Roll, who has recently taken on the role of being the first-ever "Artist in Residence" on "American Idol," said it's been "rewarding" to be in a position to offer advice and guidance to young contestants looking to make a name for themselves. "Getting to know these kids and be a part of this has been honestly an incredible experience," he said. "And the talent level is just unreal. I think watching it unfold over this season, too, it's been really rewarding to watch each one of them go out there and outperform themselves from the week before, or show a different side of what they can do, really dig in creatively while showing America who they are as artists." WATCH: Jelly Roll talks using his platform to inspire positive change "I am out there cheering every one of them on," he continued. "And I am a really proud parent. I get to see those moments from rehearsals where they are working through something to then, in the show, hitting that note they had to work through in rehearsal or just taking that performance onstage to the next level." The country star, who's heading Stagecoach this weekend, said his role on "Idol" has been humbling in that he finds himself reliving moments from his own career path. "It's also made me relive a lot of my own moments career-wise, that you almost don't stop to take in fully as they are happening because of the pace this industry can move," he said. "But when I am sitting there talking about the first time you go onstage or that first live show, it brings back those moments for me, too. Like the first time I performed on an award show stage, or singing that new song for the first time. So that has been an unexpected surprise of being Artist in Residence, but a really welcome one, and one I am super grateful for."
