From the description thus far, it appears the show will adhere closely to the themes of McCurdy's original book, which spent 80 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list following its 2022 release. Assuredly, for readers, particularly in the way that McCurdy's writing balances the tragic and the comedic.
'I definitely laughed a ton while writing; I cried while writing,' she told The Hollywood Reporter in August 2022.
'To me, [it's] about being honest with the dynamic experience of being a person: the highs, the lows, the funny, the sad, the drama, the comedy. It's all of those layers.'
While we don't have a release date yet, when it does air, something tells us the memoir's TV adaptation will be inspiring just as many tears and just as many laughs.

Hailey Bieber's Rhode Lipgloss Waist Chain Has Everyone Talking
Hailey Bieber for the 2025 Rhode Summer Campaign / Image: First came the viral Rhode Lip Case, and now something a little more Y2K. This week, Hailey Bieber's beauty brand launched its summer campaign, unveiling several new upcoming products. Among these will be a limited-edition rendition of the fan favourite Peptide Lip Tint in shade 'Lemontini'. The brand's Instagram page describes the tint as 'a shimmery, sheer gold gloss that smells like a sweet, citrusy lemon cocktail.' While this sounds enticing (and delicious), it was the way Bieber showed off the gloss that had heads turning. In the campaign photos, the model and mogul can be seen at a beach location in a black bikini. Around her waist she wears a gold 'Rhode' chain off which hangs the lemon-yellow gloss tube in a criss-cross holder. The eye-catching waist jewellery is well in line with the current Y2K style revival that Bieber herself is no stranger to, and it appears fans want in. Hailey Bieber and the Rhode Peptide Lip Tint / Image: As with the brand's iconic lip phone case, there were some scratching their heads at the unconventional product, however, an equal number were smitten. 'The body chain as a lip holder is brilliant,' and 'Hello, the Rhode belly chain? Need,' were just some of the positive comments under the promotional post. Unfortunately, though, the chain appears to be purely for the campaign shoot and not a part of the product launch. For those disappointed, Bieber also showed off a lemon-yellow lip case in one of her recent posts, in the same shade as the gloss packaging. While no word on the case is out yet, based on previous launches this may be a future product tease. Hailey Bieber with the Rhode Peptide Lip Tint and Lip Case / Image: This launch is the first following Rhode Beauty's acquisition by Cosmetics last month for $1 billion USD. At the time, the mogul asserted, 'This is only the beginning,' and that sure seems to be the case. As always, we can't wait to see what comes next from the cult favourite brand. topics: Hailey Bieber, Rhode, rhode peptide lip tint, Beauty, Beauty News, celebrity, celebrity news, entertainment, Entertainment News, celebrity skincare, skincare, Trending

Kith's Most Iconic Collaborations & Cultural Moments
Since its debut in 2011 under founder Ronnie Fieg, Kith has become one of the most influential names in fashion and streetwear — thanks in large part to a long list of high-profile collaborations and culturally resonant special events. What started as a boutique sneaker destination has evolved into a multi-dimensional brand that effortlessly bridges the gap between luxury and lifestyle. Below, we break down some of the most iconic Kith collaborations and moments that helped define its brand DNA. Kith's Most Iconic Collaborations and Cultural Moments: In 2017, Kith launched a headline-making collaboration with Nike and LeBron James, blending athletic design with lifestyle appeal. The partnership included performance footwear and apparel that sold out almost instantly, cementing Kith's streetwear credibility. Kith's luxury partnerships reached new heights with a limited-edition BMW M4 Competition and BMW i4 M50. The collaboration continued at Art Basel Miami in 2024 with the reveal of a one-of-a-kind BMW XM 'Kith Concept' — a futuristic model that underscored Kith's reach into the automotive world. To celebrate a new series of TAG Heuer Formula 1 watches, Kith hosted an immersive event at the Rubell Museum in Miami ahead of the 2024 Grand Prix. The launch attracted high-profile guests and combined luxury timepieces with streetwear flair — an unmistakable Kith move. In a groundbreaking crossover, Kith became one of the first streetwear brands to collaborate with Giorgio Armani on a capsule of modern tailored suits for Fall/Winter 2024. The collection reflected Kith's increasing alignment with legacy fashion houses. In celebration of Black History Month 2025, Kith partnered with the Brooklyn Museum for its fifth annual Artist Series. The collaboration included a varsity jacket capsule, a retail pop-up, and a special First Saturday takeover — blending fashion with cultural impact. In 2023, Kith teamed up with Japan's ORIGAMI to create sleek, branded coffee drippers, holders, and servers. The minimalist collection appealed to design lovers and coffee enthusiasts alike. A fan-favorite since 2016, Kith's recurring Coca-Cola collaborations have included everything from logo tees to swimwear and Converse sneakers. Each summer drop is highly anticipated and perfectly captures nostalgic Americana through a fashion lens. New Balance, adidas, and More Kith has maintained long-standing partnerships with major sportswear players. With New Balance, Ronnie Fieg has reimagined classic silhouettes like the 990v2 in signature Kith tones. adidas collaborations have included UltraBoosts, soccer cleats, and tech-driven designs. Kith Treats & Daniel Arsham Kith's in-store experience has always gone beyond fashion. With the help of artist Daniel Arsham and design studio Snarkitecture, its flagship locations double as architectural installations. Add to that the popular Kith Treats cereal bars — like the one in Paris that opened shortly after the store's opening in 2021, serving limited-run flavors — and it's clear the brand knows how to build lifestyle worlds. Other notable projects include a tribute capsule to Notorious B.I.G. in 2021, benefiting Brooklyn schools, and a Mickey Mouse collaboration celebrating Disney's 90th anniversary. Each one reflects Kith's ability to tap into pop culture with authenticity. Kith's weekly 'Monday Program' drops remain a staple of its marketing strategy. These limited-edition product launches — ranging from apparel and sneakers to accessories — keep fans coming back every week for something new. Why It Matters What sets Kith apart is its ability to balance heritage and hype. These collaborations are not just product-based — they're narrative-driven experiences that blur the lines between fashion, art, culture, and commerce. From museum installations to custom sports cars, Kith continues to push the boundaries of what a lifestyle brand can be.
