A Barbarella film is currently in development and there are already complaints about using actress Syndey Sweeney to encourage the concept of ‘the male gaze.’
The Emmy-nominee actress is currently set to star in, and executive produce, a new Barbarella movie for Sony Pictures. The film will be based on the 1968 cult classic movie that starred Jane Fonda as a space adventurer who was sent by the Earth’s president to retrieve the evil scientist Durand Durand from the Tau Ceti planetary system.
The Sony backed project is far from seeing the light of day as a writer and director has yet to be selected for the project. Sweeney, who is known for her role in the HBO series Euphoria, is excited to play the cult classic character on the big screen and she is dismissing any concerns about portraying the more sexually-charged aspects of the story.
“I find power in my femininity,” she said. “I use my brain, and I use everything that I’m learning every single day in this industry as my power. Knowledge is everything.”
Actress Keri Russell, who played Zorii Bliss in The Rise of Skywalker, recently admitted that she escaped The Mickey Mouse Club with her sanity and dignity. Not only did she reveal she escaped with those intact, she bluntly stated that not everyone who was on the show did.
Russell recently performed an interview with W Magazine’s Lynn Hirschberg who noted that Russell was a Mouseketeer. The actress responded, “Some of those people are still my best friends—Ilana [Miller] and Lindsey [Alley]. I was there at a time when there were a lot of famous kids there. And I say this completely, truthfully like I was literally the least talented one there. I’m not kidding.”
She elaborated, “When you look at those kids, I’m like, why in the world did they pick me? It’s crazy. But, you know, Christina Aguilera, and Justin Timberlake, and Ryan Gosling, and Britney Spears. It was wild.”

Russell did not elaborate on what took place during her time at The Mickey Mouse Club that would result in her costars losing their sanity and dignity.
Swift, 33, is currently in the middle of her highly-successful ‘Eras Tour’, which will encompass 146 shows across five continents and is expected to be the first concert series to gross well over $1 Billion. Consistently one of the most recognizable and searched celebrities in the world, 2023 has been her year.
So, culminating that by rocking the house with her afterglow would make a lot of sense. But apparently, there will be no reason for The Swifties to watch the Super Bowl this year. A recent report from Hits Daily Double says T-Swizzle turned down the opportunity to headline the halftime show in Las Vegas.
“Taylor Swift, who would be a logical choice given her mind-blowingly successful year, has supposedly passed,” the report states. “We don’t know if this is just spin from Swift Nation HQ and she wants a big check from the NFL rather than incurring the substantial cost of mounting the show.”
Hailie Deegan, a rising star in motorsports, recently shared her experiences of transitioning from California’s racing scene to North Carolina’s, as part of NASCAR’s Drive for Diversity program. Speaking with Kenny Wallace on his podcast, Deegan elaborated on the stark contrasts she noticed between the East and West Coast racing cultures, making it clear that not everyone who appears friendly is behaves the same behind the scenes.
“People don’t realize how different the East Coast and West Coast racing worlds are. They are two different worlds totally separate worlds,” said Deegan when asked by Wallace about the major differences between drivers on each coast.
Wallace took the opportunity to ask her to dive deeper into her response.
“It’s different it’s the people, it’s how people get along is very different,” she replied. “Like I was so used to like everyone’s buddies. Like we all yeah, we all might take each other out. But like we’re all kind of cool after the race and like we’ll probably all go hang out and like, it’s like your kind of group of people.

"... and gently tapped her on the head when her roots were showing. When he was in residence, he issued a 6pm curfew ensuring his young wife was home to share his dinner (always chicken soup with cream cheese and crackers) and watch his favourite movies. Then, after dark, she was expected to participate in the group sex for which Hefner was famous. 'It was embarrassing. I don't know the most people there'd been in our bedroom at one time but – a lot. Pretty bad. We were like, "Oh, now it's your turn." Nobody really wanted to be there but I think in Hef's mind, he still thought he was in his 40s, and those nights, the people, the mansion, solidified that idea. He felt, "I've still got it."' There were also the famous 'Sunday Fundays' when 200 young women would descend on the Playboy mansion. Its octogenarian owner took so much Viagra that it made him lose his hearing on one side (a recognised side effect of the drug). 'Hef always said he'd rather be deaf and still able to have sex. Weird,' says Crystal...."
