Sydney Sweeney has teamed up with Dr. Squatch, an all-natural soap brand, to sell her dirty bathwater. Yep, you heard that right. Her bathwater. The collaboration with the Euphoria star is a limited-edition bar soap infused with pine bark extract, sand, moss and actual droplets of Sweeney's bathwater. The brand describes the scent like a hike through the Pacific Northwest, with the added thrill of knowing it contains water the star has stewed in. Yikes. Chatting to GQ, Sweeney admitted she didn't know much about the whole erotic-bathwater niche until she saw her comment section. 'I honestly think it's a really fun, full-circle moment,' Sweeney said. 'Fans always joke about wanting my bath water… I was like, this is just such a cool way to have a conversation with the audience and give them what they want.'

Rumours first started that the duo had become close as they were promoting the hidden gem RomCom, but while they may have just been leaning into the talk for the extra promo, they were clearly close. Now, just days after news of her wedding being called off, celebrity gossip site DeuxMoi shared images of the pair hanging out in Dallas, where the outlet reported the 27-year-old Euphoria star had joined her 36-year-old pal at his sister's wedding rehearsal dinner at Joe Leo Fine Tex Mex over the weekend.

SNL fans go wild over Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost's adorable moment during season finale
Saturday Night Live fans are gushing about Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost's sweet onscreen kiss as they closed out the show's 50th season finale. The actress, who shares a three-year-old son, Cosmo, with her husband, broke a record as she became the first woman to host the show seven times. In a promo clip for the episode, Johansson, 40, screamed at the top of her lungs at the thought of kissing her 42-year-old husband, who she married in 2020. The hilarious sketch, clearly inspired by her upcoming Jurassic Park film, shows the Avengers star running in terror as Jost chases her. However, by the end of Saturday's episode, Jost finally caught up with her and secured his kiss after presenting his wife with a big bouquet of roses. Fans went wild on social media for the smooch, raving about the romantic moment between the couple. 'Omg, I'm in tears, Scarlett Johansson & Colin Jost on SNL,' one person said. 'Power couple energy on full display,' said another. 'They always bring great energy together,' a third person said. 'I hate how I can tell how deep in love they are just by this kiss,' said a fourth. The actress, who has been married to Jost since 2020 and shares a three-year-old son, Cosmo, with him, set a record for a woman with her seventh appearance as host A fifth person said, 'Sweet gesture from Colin—classy way to celebrate Scarlett's SNL spotlight!' 'He's not just a Weekend Update guy, he's the main character in a real-life rom-com,' added sixth. Others poked fun at how Mike Myers appeared to photobomb the sweet moment 'Mike Myers looks like he's saying what about my kiss,' one person said. Some fans joked that Jost finally got his kiss after trying so hard in the promotional clip. 'They finally got to kiss,' one person said. 'Colin's on screen kiss finally happened,' said another. The promo clip is titled 'Scarlett Johansson Is Saved From Colin Jost By Sarah Sherman,' and begins with SNL stars Heidi Gardner and Mikey Day talking about their summer plans. A thundering pound interrupts their conversation and sets off an alarm and ominous flickering red lights. Scarlett then dashes into the frame and screams, 'Run! Run!', ignoring Day as he welcomes her back onto the show and pushes him out of the way of a door. She runs inside the double door and bolts it shut with a pole, before cowering in terror as the mystery adversary bangs at the door. 'No, please!' she pleads. Suddenly, the moment is interrupted by the arrival of her husband, who cheerfully greets her and places a hand on her shoulder. 'Hey, babe! I had a sketch idea I wanted to pitch you. Maybe it's one where we, I don't know, finally kiss?' he suggests nervously. Scarlett then screams at the top of her lungs, 'No!' Out of nowhere, her husband is shot in the neck with a dart by Sarah Sherman, who is hiding in the rafters. 'Thanks, Sarah!' Scarlett says, clearly relieved. 'Anytime, Scarlett!' Sarah, clad in a hunting costume, says. 'That was just a tranquilizer, right?' Scarlett inquires. 'Oh, I have no idea. Che just handed this to me and said, "Take care of Jost?"' Sarah replies, referencing Colin's Weekend Update co-host Michael Che. Alarmed, Scarlett goes to her husband's side - but is repulsed when he suggests a kiss in a gargled voice. 'Nope!' Scarlett says. The couple shared several other onscreen moments together during the season finale episode. Jost and Weekend Update co-anchor Michael Che returned to their annual season-finale tradition of writing and being forced to deliver wildly inappropriate jokes for each other. Johansson is the subject of many of the Che-written jokes, so this year, Jost compelled Che to bring her out and apologize for once comparing part of her body to 'Costco roast beef.' Jost also appeared in a pre-recorded, behind-the-scenes bit where Johansson has torrid sex with Bowen Yang after she confesses to Edo Nwodim and Heidi Gardner that she has a crush on him, and learns he has only been publicly pretending to be gay 'for the clout.' Johansson has her heart broken when she learns Yang also has been hooking up with Nwodim, Gardner and guest star Emily Ratajkowski.

How To Nail Your Role As A Wedding Officiant For A Friend Or Loved One
If you've been asked to officiate a wedding it should be considered the highest honor, but there's a lot you need to know. This article will walk help you navigate the process, including understanding legal requirements, the right way to prepare, and how to ensure everything goes smoothly on the big day. Before you become a wedding officiant you need to understand the legal requirements. To legally officiate a wedding you must first get ordained, which gives you the official authority to perform the ceremony. Marriage laws vary by state so research the specific legal requirements for officiants in your state or country. The officiant is also required to sign and submit the marriage certificate. 'Make absolutely certain that everyone involved has researched the legal requirements beforehand about when to obtain a license and submit and even how to sign,' cautions Roxanne Hunt, a veteran officiant in Los Angeles who has officiated over 400 ceremonies around the world. 'There are very specific requirements on filling things out and a slight error such as using the wrong color pen, crossing something out, a smudge or fingerprint, will most likely invalidate everything and you will be required to obtain and fill out another license.' Getting ordained online is a quick and easy way to become a wedding officiant. Organizations like Universal Life Church and American Marriage Ministries offer online ordination programs that certify you as a marriage officiant. These programs are designed to be easy and user friendly, often just a few clicks to complete the process. Some programs may charge a fee ranging from $20 to $50 for certification but the convenience and speed makes it a popular choice. If choosing to be ordained online, many regions require you to register with local authorities to be recognized as a legal wedding officiant. This registration process typically involves submitting proof of ordination to your local county clerk's office. Another option offered by many states is the deputy-for-a-day program, which allows you to register with the state to be authorized to officiate one wedding on a given day. In California you only need to be older than 18 and present a photo ID. Check the regulations of the county the ceremony will be performed in to make sure you adhere to all local legal requirements. Meeting the couple is a key part of personalizing the ceremony and it's something . This initial meeting helps you understand the couple's love story and their vision for the ceremony. During this time you can discuss specifics like ceremony length, vows, tone and details about their relationship. 'Most people know wedding ceremonies from watching The Bachelor or a RomCom,' says Hunt, 'You are not obligated to do any of that.' Writing the ceremony script is a key part of the officiant's role. The script can be as creative as possible. 'You only need to sign the paperwork and pronounce the couple husband and wife. Otherwise there are no rules,' advises Hunt. Using personal stories and favorite moments about the couple will enhance the personal touch. Hunt thinks humor is a nice touch but there is no need for 'stand-up comedic moments.' Memorization isn't necessary but being comfortable enough to look at the couple and the audience frequently is must. As for length, Hunt recommends that 20 - 25 minutes is appropriate for most weddings. Conducted ideally four to six weeks before the wedding and after you've written the script, this planning session with the couple helps ensure you've crafted the ceremony they have in mind. During this session you can discuss how the couple wants to say their vows and review and edit specific wording. This is a great time to get the full list of participants and their walking order for the processional. Make sure you arrive early and do a final check to ensure everything is ready. There is no bigger bride and groom nightmare than the officiant of their choosing arriving late to the ceremony. Set three alarms, give yourself triple the time to get there. Getting there on-time is getting there late. You need to be early! A well coordinated ceremony requires good management of the logistics. The processional may include parents, kids, the wedding party and any chosen individuals or animals. As the officiant The officiant starts speaking once everyone is in place and standing where they're supposed to be. Hunt has another very important piece of advice for the start of the ceremony: 'It may seem obvious to you as you read this, but if you have the guests stand up to honor the couple as the bride walks down the aisle, remember to ask them to be seated afterwards.' When the couple has their first kiss, Hunt advises that it's important for the officiant to step aside to allow the photographers to capture this special moment without the officiant hovering over them in the middle of the photo. It's not something many people think of until they see the photos and it's too late. Finalizing the marriage license is the last step in making the union official. The couple must apply for the marriage license themselves as the officiant cannot do it for them. After the ceremony the officiant's final task is to have the couple sign the marriage license. The marriage license must then be returned to the issuing government office to officially recognize the marriage.
