Amanda Bynes looks downcast on rare solo outing after joining OnlyFans
Amanda Bynes looked downcast as she was seen on a rare solo outing after joining X-rated subscription site OnlyFans. The 39-year-old actress was seen looking rather despondent as she hit luxury grocery store Erewhon in Calabasas on Thursday. Bynes kept her look simple as she sported a light grey full zip hoodie with skinny black jeans and matching Vans Old Skool high-top sneakers. She had her hands full as she carried a brown paper bag from the celebrity-favorite organic supermarket along with a pink Elfbar vape. Her blonde locks were worn down as the sides were pinned up to resemble a mullet style haircut as she wore minimal make-up. This comes weeks after it was revealed that Bynes is seeing her OnlyFans venture as a 'career renaissance' and wants to use it to divulge stories from her time at Nickelodeon, a year on from an explosive documentary which exposed the 'toxic environment' at the TV network. Bynes announced her foray into the X-rated subscription site in April, telling fans she was using it merely to communicate with them, and insisted she will not be sharing anything 'sleazy.' Now, a source close to the former child star has claimed the move will not only afford her the opportunity to make money, share her fashion designs and provide a potential springboard into reality TV, but will also be a safe space to reveal 'what happened from her past at Nickelodeon.' 'Amanda was looking into making money and is convinced that OnlyFans will bring some serious cash her way,' the insider told 'Her intentions are to do this before she seeks any reality show opportunities. 'She understands the stigma around OnlyFans, but she is determined to make this very safe – nothing naughty. She wants to share some of her future designs with her fans, collaborate with them and she also wants to tell stories to people who don't know everything about what happened from her past at Nickelodeon. 'She wants to make it a spot where fans can go and treat it like a meet and greet.' She pursued fashion and art at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, graduating with an Associate's of Art degree in 2014. The insider said she 'doesn't care if friends won't like that she is doing this' as she is 'looking to change course on how she has lived her life the last few years.' They added: 'She is seeing OnlyFans as a bit of a career renaissance.' Bynes announced her OnlyFans debut on Instagram, 15 years after quitting the entertainment business. Bynes, 39, announced her foray into the X-rated subscription site on Tuesday, telling fans she was using it to communicate with them, and insisted she will not be sharing anything 'sleazy' 'I'm doing onlyfans to chat with my fans through dm's,' she wrote alongside a screenshot of her new profile. 'I won't be posting any sleazy content. Excited to join.' She is charging fans more than $50 per month to access her page which currently has mirror selfies. Bynes has maintained a relatively low profile since quitting Hollywood in 2010. In December 2024, she hosted a pop-up art show that was attended by celebrities including Miley Cyrus' younger sister, Noah. It followed a tumultuous time for the troubled star who suffered a highly publicized breakdown in the early 2010s before being placed under a legal conservatorship by her parents for nine years back in 2013. Her downward spiral hit the headlines again last year after the release of Discovery documentary Quiet On Set: The Dark Side Of Kids, which shone a light on the 'close' relationship that producer Dan Schneider had with the teenage star. Schneider – who helped create some of the network's most popular shows like All That, Drake & Josh, Henry Danger, Kenan & Kel, Sam & Cat, The Amanda Show, Victorious, Zoey 101, and iCarly – was accused of being overtly inappropriate with Bynes, who is 20 years his junior, as well as with other employees. In the wake of the documentary a video circulated of a bikini-clad Bynes, who was a child at the time, sitting in a hot tub with a fully clothed Schneider. The clip was taken from Bynes' recurring sketch, Amanda's Jacuzzi, which saw the young star interview guests in the bubbling pool. Commentators recalled Schneider and Bynes being 'very close' – including 'physically.' Karyn Finley Thompson, who worked as an editor on several Nickelodeon shows, said: 'There were many times that I saw Amanda sitting behind him, hugging him or giving him like a neck massage or whatever. 'Dan and Amanda had a close relationship, and I didn't think anything different than that. The hot tub scene though I always thought was a little odd.' Schneider departed from the network in 2018 amid numerous allegations of misconduct. At the time, Nickelodeon said it had performed an internal investigation and found that evidence to back up the allegations was 'non-existent.' Schneider, who joined the network in 1993, responded to the allegations made on the documentary in a 19 minute YouTube video in which he admitted that he 'regretted' his past actions and that he owed 'some people a pretty strong apology.' He said he was 'embarrassed' by his behavior in the writer's room and also apologized for his frequent requests for massages from female members of staff while in the studio. But he denied he was involved in any sort of sexual abuse either on the set of, or behind the scenes. In May, two months after the documentary was released, he filed a defamation legal case against the producers, branding the show a 'hit job.' Quiet On Set: The Dark Side Of Kids TV described Nickelodeon in the early 2000s as an 'insidious environment rife with allegations of abuse, sexism, racism and inappropriate dynamics with its underage stars and crew.'

Bracken Darrell's pay hit $10.7 million during his first full year as president and chief executive officer of VF Corp.

In fiscal 2024, Darrell's compensation tallied $13.5 million, dominated by $12.4 million in stock and options awards received as he stepped in to turn around the company. It's been a busy stretch for Darrell, who has changed leadership at the company's brands, including The North Face and Vans, and sold off Supreme to EssilorLuxottica in a $1.5 billion deal that helped clean up the company's balance sheet. Last month, Darrell told analysts that he's using what is an unusually mixed-up market to push the company forward. 'There's a lot of uncertainty out there from a macro standpoint, but we're not at all distracted by it,' the CEO said on a conference call. 'Our goal is to leverage it to improve our business. Our transformation is on track and progressing well and it's allowing us to be more agile and nimble, making better decisions more quickly. We're making progress towards our medium-term goals, regardless of the volatility in the macro environment.' In a letter to shareholders included with the proxy statement, chair Richard Carucci said management was 'on track to transform VF,' bringing in 'best-in-class talent' while paying down $1.8 billion in debt. 'We significantly improved gross margin and operating profit through lower promotions and cost reductions,' Carucci said. 'During the year, we introduced actions and processes to achieve a 10 percent operating margin in fiscal 2028.' Last year, operating margins increased to 3.2 percent, up from a negative 1.5 percent the prior year. 'We are not yet where we want to be on driving growth,' he said. 'Revenue declined [4 percent to $9.5 billion] in fiscal 2025 versus prior year. This result was in line with our expectations, but it is not consistent with our historical success or our longer-term aspirations.'

Vans launches new Colourways of the Hylane
Vans is releasing the iconic Hylane in bold new colourways that blend Y2K skate nostalgia with modern streetwear energy. Vans is expanding the story of the Hylane, the Y2K skate-inspired silhouette that's been turning heads since its reintroduction. Now, the retro-futuristic style is back in updated colourways that are dialed in for skate-inspired looks, and everything in between. Rooted in late-'90s skateboarding and reimagined for today, the Hylane takes cues from the original 1999 Upland silhouette. Chunky, cushioned, and unapologetically nostalgic, it hits that sweet spot between function and fashion. Puffed-out skate tongues, glossed Sidestripes™, 3D logos, and embroidered details that take the aesthetic to another level. Beneath it all sits a reverse waffle outsole, a Cold Cement Cup sole for long-haul durability, and padded collars built for comfort. With the love for Y2K looks and chunky sneakers in full swing, the Hylane fits right in. It's a style born from the skate era that helped shape streetwear as we know it. These new colorways bring a modern energy to a familiar form, keeping the Hylane's identity intact while pushing the palette into new territory.
