Sydney Sweeney Channels Britney Spears By Wearing Same Starry Metal Mesh Dress at her Space-Themed Birthday Party Amid Rumors She’s Set to Play Singer in Biopic

**Sydney Sweeney Channels Britney Spears for Space-Themed 28th Birthday Bash**

*Published: September 30, 2025, 5:30 p.m. ET*

Sydney Sweeney paid tribute to pop icon Britney Spears by wearing the same starry metal mesh dress the singer donned during her space-themed birthday celebration. The *Euphoria* actress celebrated turning 28 in style, sparking rumors that she might be in the running to portray Spears in an upcoming biopic about the legendary performer.

### Out Of This World Party

The dress, famously worn by Spears during her *Circus* era, was more than just an outfit — Sweeney even recreated the iconic photo shoot pose by sitting on the floor with her legs to the side, mirroring how Spears promoted her 2008 album.

Sweeney’s birthday bash featured an A-list guest list including Glen Powell, Jeff Bezos and his wife Lauren Sánchez Bezos, Wiz Khalifa, and Sexyy Red. According to sources, other invitees included Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, Seth MacFarlane, Jessica Alba, Justin Theroux, and Jen Meyer.

Guests embraced the space theme enthusiastically, dressing as aliens, astronauts, space cowboys, and more in a truly out-of-this-world celebration.

### Rumored Relationship: Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun

Among the famous faces at the party was music manager Scooter Braun. While neither has publicly confirmed their relationship status, insiders say Sweeney is “not exclusively dating anyone right now but is having fun with Scooter.” One source noted, “It is not serious,” explaining that the *Housemaid* star is enjoying her “single era without any pressure.”

Just one day after the birthday event, Sweeney was seen with Braun, who is 16 years her senior, enjoying a night out at Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights. The pair were even photographed holding hands.

### “It Is Hot And Heavy”

A separate insider revealed, “They talk every day and see each other often; it is hot and heavy. I don’t want to say the L word, but it feels like the L word. They seem very much in love, or at least incredibly in lust.”

According to the source, their attraction is fueled by Sweeney’s vibrant energy and Braun’s “old soul” guidance, helping her navigate sudden fame and a rapidly growing career. “He gives great advice. They have what each other wants,” the insider added.

### Sparks Since June

The couple reportedly met at Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos’s wedding in Italy on June 27, making their connection nearly three months old.

Their romance has recently been on display during a romantic dinner date in Brentwood, Los Angeles. The pair were seen seated across from each other at Jon and Vinny’s, a popular Italian eatery.

At the dinner, Sweeney sported her blonde hair down, wearing a dark top, shorts that showcased her toned legs, and calf-height boots. Braun wore a white long-sleeved T-shirt, had a short haircut, and black prescription glasses.

After their meal, the duo left together and got into a black SUV, further fueling speculation about their relationship status.

EXCLUSIVE: Nicole Kidman’s ‘$600K Per Year Drug Clause’ for Keith Urban Under Scrutiny After Split — ‘A Decision’ to Separate ‘Wasn’t Made Lightly,’ Legal Expert Claims

**Sept. 30, 2025, Published 3:03 p.m. ET**

As Nicole Kidman’s separation drama from Keith Urban unfolds, a divorce attorney has exclusively spoken to RadarOnline.com about an intriguing detail in their prenuptial agreement — the so-called “cocaine clause.”

According to reports, this “cocaine clause” stated that Urban would be eligible for $600,000 annually, but only if he abstained from drugs and alcohol during their marriage.

### A Legal Expert Dishes on the Alleged Provision in Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s Prenuptial Agreement

Lois Liberman, a partner in Blank Rome’s Matrimonial and Family Law Group, shared her insights exclusively with RadarOnline.com about this pertinent clause.

“It is more than likely that, in addition to the alleged provision which provides Keith with $600,000 per year from Nicole for every year of marriage, there would be additional clauses that specify what Keith acquired in his own name as his separate property,” Liberman explained. “For those assets that the parties held jointly, there would presumably be some distributable interest in those assets. Any drug use would not diminish his interest in those assets.”

### Keith Urban’s Separation Likely Not a Light Decision, Says Legal Expert

Liberman noted it’s “possible” that the monies Keith was to receive annually — as compensation for waiving claims to assets Nicole acquired during the marriage — could be forfeited for years in which he did not have his drug use “under control.”

She added, “Given that it has been reported that the decision to separate was Keith’s, it is likely that if there were such a huge financial penalty — whereby he would have lost $11,400,000 ($600,000 x 19 years) — that such a decision would not have been made lightly. Alternatively, he may have felt financially secure enough to proceed with the divorce regardless.”

### Possible Post-Nuptial Agreement May Have Addressed Sobriety Issues

Liberman also suggested that Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban might have created a post-nuptial agreement during their marriage to address Urban’s “initial sobriety slip.”

“This may have clarified whether he would still be entitled to such monies if he remained clean and sober throughout the rest of the marriage,” she concluded.

### Keith Urban’s Struggles and Recovery During His Marriage to Nicole Kidman

In October 2006, only a few months after marrying Kidman, Keith Urban entered rehab for drug and alcohol addiction. Reports say Kidman planned an intervention, which Urban credits as a pivotal moment in his recovery.

He has described Kidman’s support during this period as critical, saying he was “very, very blessed” to have her by his side as he worked toward sobriety.

### Separation Outed: Split Said to Be One-Sided

As RadarOnline.com reported, the couple’s separation was revealed on September 29. Sources claim the split is one-sided, with Kidman doing everything she can to save their marriage.

Chris Jericho makes huge revelation about his WWE career amid rumors of return

AEW star Chris Jericho has been absent from the company since April 2024. Rumors are circulating that he may sign with WWE after his contract with the Jacksonville-based promotion expires in December 2025. The global sports entertainment giant has reportedly shown significant interest in securing the services of Le Champion.

While speculation continues to swirl, the inaugural AEW World Champion recently shed light on a notable aspect of his WWE career—his memorable catchphrases and creative gimmicks. During his famous feud with Triple H, Jericho popularized the catchphrase “A** Clown.” Interestingly, the same phrase was featured in the cult classic film *Office Space*.

In an interview with Bionic Buzz, Chris Jericho addressed the origins of the catchphrase. He stated that although he is confident he didn’t directly borrow the term from *Office Space*, he might have subconsciously heard it before combining the two words himself.

Jericho said,
> “A** clown came from, there was a movie called *Office Space*. But I don’t know if I took that from the movie. I’m not saying they took it from me, but I seem to remember saying it just stringing two stupid words together, A** Clown. So, I didn’t steal it from *Office Space*. But subconsciously, maybe I heard it and didn’t realize it. But either way, either it was *Office Space* or Chris Jericho. So, we’ll go with a combination of the two.”

### Could Chris Jericho Be John Cena’s Final Opponent?

As John Cena prepares for retirement in the coming months, fans and insiders alike are buzzing about who will step into the ring for Cena’s final match. During a recent episode of *Writing with Russo*, veteran wrestling personality Vince Russo suggested that Chris Jericho could return to WWE by December and face Cena in his farewell bout.

Russo commented,
> “You may think this is crazy. Is Jericho’s contract up by December? Because they would put Jericho in that spot before they put one of their own players in that spot. So, I swear, is it a pop card? Who is going to be available at that time?”

It will certainly be interesting to watch where Chris Jericho’s career takes him over the next several months. Fans and wrestling insiders alike are keen to see whether he will make his long-anticipated WWE return.

Shane van Gisbergen “over the moon” after milestone finish at Kansas

Shane van Gisbergen bagged a P10 this past weekend at Kansas Speedway, marking his maiden top-10 finish at a NASCAR oval. The Cup Series rookie won multiple races throughout the regular season, but notably, none of them were on ovals.

Van Gisbergen had to battle several issues during the 301-lap event, including a stop-and-go penalty and his crew chief, Stephen Dorian, getting ejected due to unapproved adjustments on his No. 88 Camaro. Despite these setbacks, the Trackhouse Racing driver managed to secure a career-best run and felt stoked about the achievement.

During a post-race interview with NBC Sports, van Gisbergen—most commonly known as SVG—said:
“It was really cool to get a top-10 finish at Kansas Speedway. I feel like we’re getting better and better at these tracks. It was difficult starting a lap down and having that penalty, but (interim crew chief) Chais Eliason did a great job. We had really good speed at points of the race, so I’m stoked to get a top-10. I’m over the moon with that.”

Previously, Shane van Gisbergen had earned a personal-best finish of 12th at Martinsville Fall 2024 on an oval and 14th at Charlotte Spring 2025 on an intermediate track. He made the playoffs through his regular-season triumphs but failed to advance beyond the Round of 16.

Currently sitting 14th in points with four top-five finishes and six top-10s, the former Supercars champion can still contend for his fifth NASCAR win of the season.

Next up for the Auckland native is the Bank of ROVAL 400 at Charlotte Motor Speedway road course. Scheduled for Sunday, October 5, the 109-lap event will stream live on USA Network, with exclusive radio coverage on PRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, Channel 90.

### Following a Rookie Season Playoff Appearance, Shane van Gisbergen Bags Multi-Year Contract Extension with Trackhouse Racing

Shane van Gisbergen was ushered into NASCAR’s premier series with a victory at Chicago back in 2023. After a stellar season in the Xfinity Series with Kaulig Racing, van Gisbergen made the NASCAR Cup Series in 2025, quickly establishing himself as one of the strongest road racers on the grid.

After making the playoffs in his maiden Cup season, van Gisbergen landed a multi-year contract extension with Trackhouse Racing, a three-car team with whom he made his Cup debut.

“We are getting to watch one of the superstars of racing,” Trackhouse Racing owner Justin Marks said of Shane van Gisbergen. “What we are asking him to do carries a high degree of difficulty. He’s moved to the other side of the world, learned a new form of racing, and at times dominated the competition. He’s one of the greatest.”

Before joining NASCAR, Shane van Gisbergen drove full-time in the Supercars Championship for Triple Eight Race Engineering. He won the drivers’ championship three times—in 2016, 2021, and 2022. Van Gisbergen also triumphed at the prestigious Bathurst 1000 three times, in 2020, 2022, and 2023.

Hollywood star Bill Murray golfs through Ireland in new series

Hollywood star Bill Murray is set to play golf across the island of Ireland in a new six-part BBC series titled *Off Course*. The show will follow the 75-year-old comedian as he embarks on a road trip around Ireland to take on some of its most breathtaking golf courses.

Inspired by Tom Coyne’s New York Times bestseller, *A Course Called Ireland*, the series will feature Murray—who has Irish roots—joined by celebrity friends and his long-time golfing companion Coyne as they tee off around the Emerald Isle.

Reflecting on his love for golf, Murray said, “I started out caddying, and golf was the best education I ever received. Ireland feels like the right place to put all that to work. They’ve got this wonderful word there, craic, which means fun, but it means a lot of other things. A lot of good things. And this show will be about us finding it.”

*Off Course* consists of six 30-minute episodes and has been described as more than just an ordinary golf show. Instead, it focuses on life, chance encounters, and the joy of going off course.

Catherine Catton, Head of Factual Entertainment Commissioning and Events, commented: “This is a series full of humour, heart and adventure, set against some of the most beautiful backdrops imaginable, and we can’t wait for audiences to come along for the ride with Bill.”

Eddie Doyle, Head of Content Commissioning at BBC Northern Ireland, added, “We’re thrilled that this series promises stunning scenery and beautiful golf courses. Couple this with the wit and charm of Bill and his friends, and the series promises to be joyful viewing for audiences.”

Bill Murray is an award-winning actor best known for his roles in *Lost In Translation*, *Ghostbusters*, and *Groundhog Day*.

*Off Course* will be available to watch on BBC Two, BBC One Northern Ireland, and BBC iPlayer.

‘Black Panther’: The film that put Africa on futuristic map

# ‘Black Panther’: The Film That Put Africa on the Futuristic Map
*By Vinita Jain | Sep 29, 2025, 03:58 PM*

The 2018 blockbuster *Black Panther* redefined the portrayal of African culture and technology, offering the world a vivid glimpse into an Afro-futuristic vision. Through its depiction of the fictional nation of Wakanda—boasting advanced technology and a rich cultural heritage—the film challenged long-standing stereotypes and presented a unique blend of tradition and innovation. This article explores how *Black Panther* reshaped Afro-futurism through its visual storytelling, character development, and cultural impact.

## Wakanda’s Technological Marvels

Wakanda’s advanced technology was a central element in redefining Afro-futurism. The film showcased the fictional metal vibranium’s extraordinary potential to power cities, heal injuries, and enhance everyday life. This portrayal challenged outdated notions by highlighting the possibility of African nations leading global technological advancements rather than being depicted as primitive or underdeveloped. By focusing on innovation rooted deeply in African culture, *Black Panther* opened new perspectives on what an African future could look like.

## Cultural Heritage Meets Modernity

*Black Panther* beautifully blended cultural heritage with modernity. Traditional African attire, music, and rituals were presented alongside futuristic designs and innovations. This duality demonstrated that cultural identity and progressiveness are not mutually exclusive. Embracing one’s heritage does not mean rejecting modernity; instead, integrating both can create a holistic and dynamic identity.

## Empowering Narratives Through Characters

The film’s characters played a pivotal role in redefining Afro-futurism by embodying empowerment and leadership. T’Challa’s journey as a king who balances tradition with progress resonated with audiences worldwide. Meanwhile, Shuri’s portrayal as a brilliant scientist challenged gender norms within African narratives and served as an inspiring role model. These characters defied stereotypes while promoting themes of unity, strength, and resilience.

## Global Impact on Perceptions of Africa

Beyond cinema, *Black Panther* had a profound global impact on how Africa is perceived. It sparked important conversations about representation, identity, and cultural pride on an international scale. The film’s unprecedented success proved that stories rooted in African experiences could resonate universally when told authentically with powerful visuals and narratives. This shift has since inspired other filmmakers to explore similar themes, broadening the scope of African stories told worldwide.

*Black Panther* not only entertained millions but also transformed the narrative around Africa’s future—celebrating its heritage while imagining limitless possibilities.
