Today we dive into Sydney Sweeney’s latest profile - and it’s not your usual Hollywood puff piece. The article pulls back the curtain on the star who's always in the headlines and her sharp career strategy behind it all. 

We unpack what it says about Sydney as a person and why it joins a growing list of celebrity profiles - from Bradley Cooper to Meghan Markle — that dare to be unflattering (and maybe more truthful).

We also bring you the most iconic moments from the Las Culturistas Culture Awards, including Ben Platt’s haunting “Diet Pepsi” cover and Renée Rapp’s instant-classic award speech. From cutting celebrity deep-dives to chaotic pop culture celebrations, this episode covers it all.
