Sydney Sweeney 'plans to launch lingerie line'
The 27-year-old actress' latest business venture has received backing from Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos and his new wife, Lauren Sanchez, who have "invested" in new brand.
A source told Us Weekly that Sydney's new lingerie line is launching "very soon".
The blonde beauty - who has recently become one of the most sought-after actresses in Hollywood - has actually been working on the lingerie line for "for the last year" and it's now close to launching.
The insider explained: "This has been a huge project for her and something she's been working on for the last year."
Sydney has enjoyed a meteoric rise in recent years, starring in TV shows such as Euphoria and The Handmaid's Tale, while she's also worked with a host of big-name brands, including Laneige and Frankies Bikinis.
The actress - who ended her engagement to Jonathan Davino earlier this year - has also been tipped to play a Bond girl in the next 007 movie, with director Denis Villeneuve reportedly keen to hire Sydney for his upcoming film.
A source recently told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "Sydney is the top name on the casting sheet for Bond.
"Denis believes she is hugely talented, as well as having an alluring appeal to younger generations, vital in modernising the franchise.
"They've hung out together a lot and he has admired her stratospheric rise.
"Plus Sydney has the quality of being athletic and able to perform physical scenes, as well as being feminine and following in the legacy of the Bond girls."
Denis was unveiled as the director of the next Bond film last month and he vowed to "honour the tradition" of the character, who will be played by a new actor after Daniel Craig walked away from the movie franchise.
The filmmaker said in a statement: "Some of my earliest movie-going memories are connected to 007. I grew up watching James Bond films with my father, ever since Dr No with Sean Connery.
"To me, he's sacred territory. I intend to honour the tradition and open the path for many new missions to come."

Matteo Bocelli eyes duet with his hero Ed Sheeran after working with his co-writer on new album
Matteo Bocelli would love to duet with his idol Ed Sheeran. The son of legendary tenor Andrea Bocelli, 66, has worked with Grammy winner Ed's co-writer Amy Wadge - with whom he penned huge hit Thinking Out Loud - on the balladeer's upcoming second studio album, Falling In Love. The 27-year-old singer's famous father featured on a 2017 classical version of Ed's song Perfect, Perfect Symphony. And, he would love to follow in his parent's footsteps and duet with Ed, but admits he would likely get overwhelmed and struggle to "handle the situation" - despite having performed for King Charles, and at the weddings of Amazon co-founder Jeff Bezos and his spouse Lauren Sánchez and reality star Kourtney Kardashian and Blink-182 rocker Travis Barker. Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, Matteo said when asked about a potential collaboration with the Bad Habits hitmaker: "Always. I was so honoured to have received a song written by him and his brother [Matthew Sheeran], called Chasing Stars. But obviously, yes, I would love one day to be on stage with him - but I don't know if I'd be able to handle the situation." It was after Ed came to Italy to record Perfect Symphony and spent time with the Bocelli's that he found out Matteo was looking for material for his debut album, 2023's Matteo, and later sent him Chasing Stars, about a close bond between a father and son. Matteo - who brought all of his co-writers and producers that worked on the new album to his Tuscany home to record the album - also praised Amy for making him feel at ease expressing himself with "no filters". He said of the heartfelt songwriter: "I worked with Amy many times, multiple times, and she is not just an incredible songwriter, but she's a beautiful soul. She's a beautiful human being. And at the bottom of you know, every writing session, I need to have these people. I need to have people with which I feel myself, with which I feel I'm able to express myself, you know, freely, with no filters. And she's one of them. And so yes, I'm very excited to have a song with her that is To Get To Love You." Matteo's new album Falling In Love is released September 12 on Decca Records. He tours the UK in November. Matteo Bocelli's 2025 UK tour dates: November 2, Manchester, The Bridgewater Hall November 4, Birmingham Symphony Hall November 5, London Adelphi Theatre

The Testaments will still appeal to fans who never saw The Handmaid's Tale
The Testaments will be "open" to people who never watched The Handmaid's Tale. The hit show ended in May after six seasons, but the franchise is continuing with an adaptation of Margaret Atwood's 2019 sequel novel, which was officially announced six years ago. In an update on the Hulu series, Disney Television Group President Craig Erwich - who oversees ABC and Hulu Originals - told Deadline: "We're very happy with The Testaments. 'It's definitely a different view of that world, but I think will both will be satisfying to Handmaid's fans, but open it up to to new viewers as well.' While the upcoming series is also set in Gilead, the novel picks up after the events of The Handmaid's Tale. The series will follow three women - Aunt Lydia (Ann Dowd), Daisy (Lucy Halliday) and Agnes (Chase Infiniti), who is the daughter of Elisabeth Moss' daughter June - as they uncover the truth about Gilead, and those rebelling against it. Moss will be back in a behind the scenes role as executive producer, it's not yet known if she'll reprise her role as June on screen. Meanwhile, Erwich insisted Disney are "very proud" of Handmaid's Tale, despite the show only getting one Primetime Emmy Awards nomination this year. Cherry Jones - who won an Emmy for her recurring role of Holly Maddox in 2019 - is on the 2025 shortlist for Best Guest Actress in a Drama Series, but the programme didn't get the nod in any other categories. Erwich said: 'The Handmaid's Tale is judged by the audience's reaction to the final season, which was overwhelmingly excited, gratified, satisfied. 'It's a show we're very proud of. It was the first streaming show ever to win Best Drama, it will be attached to that achievement forever and really defined Hulu, defined a generation of viewers. "So everything beyond that, quite frankly, is gravy. This was a really good year for Handmaid's. We're very happy of the way it sailed off, bittersweet as it is.'

Jennifer Aniston's new boyfriend Jim Curtis opens up on 'joy and love'
Jennifer Aniston's rumoured boyfriend Jim Curtis has found an "abundance" of "joy and love". The Friends actress is reportedly dating the 49-year-old hypnotist, and they were pictured together earlier this month while on vacation in Mallorca, Spain with her close friend Jason Bateman and his wife Amanda Anka. In his most recent newsletter, Jim didn't mention Jennifer, 56, by name, but wrote: "I am back from vacation and what an experience! "When I was sick, sad, stuck and in pain, I never thought I would have the abundance, joy and love I now experience on a daily basis. "'I just took one step, made one decision and the next followed — now I look back and realise, oh! That course, that life change, that pain, resulted in this magic.' In an Instagram video, he also reflected on realising he is "lovable". He told his followers: "Repeat after me, 'Love comes easily to me because I am love, I am loving, and I am lovable.' ' And he wrote in the caption: 'What if you knew, without a doubt, that you were lovable? How would your life change? What would you be able to attract? "Try journaling for 15 minutes on these questions after repeating this mantra out loud. Affirmations for self-love, love and abundance.' It was recently reported that the couple have been set up by "mutual friends", but they are keen to keep their romance "super private". A source told Us Weekly magazine: 'They are being super private but have been spending a lot of time together. They are happy and really into each other.' The couple are said to have 'started off as friends but really hit it off' over time. The source added: 'They've been hanging out a lot, but very much on the DL at her home in LA. It's very Zen, and she has always been very much into that. They're a good match.' Although the pair have kept their romance out of the spotlight until now, they have been supporting one another on social media. Jennifer has liked most of the life coach's Instagram posts over the last few months, including a video posted last week about recovering from a "divorce, break-up or difficult romance", and Jim liked her 25 May photo dump, which included a copy of his 2024 book Shift: Quantum Manifestation Guide.
