Sydney is one of the most in-demand women in Hollywood, after TV show Euphoria — for which she is currently filming a third series — put her name in lights six years ago.

Now, she is also taking the leading role in a new biographical film about US female boxer Christy Martin.

Director David Michod said: “Sydney trained her butt off to play the part.

“The beauty of Sydney is she turned up every day with her tail wagging, ready to go.

“No matter how tough it was, she was like a ray of sunshine.”

Meanwhile Sydney has just cleaned up by turning her used bathwater into limited edition bars of soap.

Sydney created her Bathwater Bliss with Dr. Squatch, who made 5,000 bars that come with a certificate saying they come from the water she bathed in.

She said: “When fans start asking for your bathwater, either ignore it or turn it into a soap.

“It’s weird in the best way.”

LOTTERY officials have issued an urgent warning as a $1.1 million ticket still sits unclaimed.

A lottery winner has yet to claim the massive “lucky day” lotto prize months after it was announced.

The winner only has three months left to claim their cash[/caption]

Lottery officials have urged whoever won the huge sum to step forward.

The jackpot prize is dangerously close to going completely unclaimed with the winner soon to lose out on their cash.

Lottery prizes often go unclaimed in the US despite being won.

There are several reasons a prize could go unclaimed but lottery bosses are often forced to track down winners who don’t step forward.

Lottery bosses at the Illinois Lottery are trying to track down the winner of a $1.1 million jackpot.

The ticket was drawn on September 8 2024 and was bought as part of the Lucky Day Lottery at a liquor store in Chicago.

Players are given one year from the date of the draw to come forward with their claim, if they don’t they wont be able to claim the prize.

There are currently four more Lucky Day prizes going unclaimed, two worth $550,000, one worth $300,000 and one worth $250,000.

Millions of dollars are won in the lottery every year but many prizes go unclaimed.

Prizes could go unclaimed for several reasons, tickets could get lost and people could be unaware they have won.

Usually if prize money goes unclaimed it will be channelled back into the lottery or put to good causes.

The current Lucky Day draw has a jackpot prize of $100,000 and will close tonight.

The Lucky Day draw offers people feeling lucky the chance to choose five numbers between 1 and 45 with tickets costing $1.

If their numbers come up on their chosen draw they can win massive prizes.

Prize sums vary draw by draw with some getting as large as the unclaimed $1.1 million.

Other prizes can be relatively small like the current $100,000 draw.

Illinois Lottery officials have warned the winner of the unclaimed $1.1m that they only have three months left to claim their prize.

When September 8th passes the lucky winner will be left with nothing to show for their gamble.

The Illinois Lottery has a list of unclaimed prizes on their website.

KEVIN DE BRUYNE broke Wales hearts on a night of World Cup qualifying chaos in Belgium.

The out-going Manchester City star scored an 88th-minute winner to inflict Craig Bellamy’s first defeat as Dragons boss and dent their automatic qualification hopes.

Kevin De Bruyne grabbed Belgium’s winner against Wales[/caption]

But where do you start to sum up this seven-goal thriller – which included an epic three-goal comeback by Wales – which was dominated by several poor refereeing decisions and lengthy VAR checks?

There were two first-half penalties awarded by referee Irfan Peljto – one for each side and both looked harsh – before Romelu Lukaku had a goal ruled out by VAR in the 80th minute because the ball went out of play in the build-up.

On a night of mayhem in Brussels, the Dragons fell 3-0 down inside 27 minutes through goals by Lukaku from the penalty spot, Youri Tielemans and Jeremy Doku as the hosts ran riot in the first half.

Spirited Wales came roaring back through goals from Harry Wilson, Sorba Thomas and Brennan Johnson.

Yet De Bruyne had the final say with a classy finish when the star midfielder was left unmarked at the back post.

It left the visitors floored as Bellamy tasted a loss for the first time in ten matches since he became boss last July.

Wales now trail North Macedonia by a point in Group J in their quest to reach the finals in USA, Mexico and Canada next summer with the Belgians only three points behind with two games in hand.

To compound Bellamy’s frustrations, the 45-year-old, who spent two years at Anderlecht, is due to return to Belgium for a friend’s wedding later this week.

Pre-match, Bellamy had hailed his first 12 months in the Wales job as the “best year” of his life.

But, after Spurs legend Jan Vertonghen received a heartfelt farewell from the Belgian public, Bellamy’s Dragons were left furious by the award of Lukaku’s 15th-minute penalty.

De Bruyne’s shot hit the arm of Brennan Johnson from a short distance but Bosnian ref Peljto pointed to the spot.

A lengthy VAR check did not overturn what looked to be a harsh decision and Napoli striker Lukaku slotted home his 89th international goal.

Wales were rocked and failed to recover as Belgium cut them to ribbons in a dangerous attacking display.

Tielemans doubled the hosts’ lead on 19 minutes when the Aston Villa midfielder, captain for the night, hit the top corner with a side-footed finish.

It was a slick team move from Rudi Garcia’s men with De Bruyne, Leandro Trossard and Maxim de Cuyper involved before Tielemans was left unmarked to beat Karl Darlow.

Wales almost halved the deficit instantly but David Brooks missed a glorious chance before Ben Davies forced Nottingham Forest keeper Matz Sels into a scrambling save.

De Bruyne rolled an effort past the post but Manchester City wideman Doku made no mistake when he cut in on his left foot and fired past Darlow despite the Leeds stopper getting a hand to his shot.

Wales, who had never won on Belgian soil, were handed a lifeline on the stroke of half-time when Sels was deemed to foul Chris Mepham when he clattered into the defender trying to punch a high ball away.

It appeared another harsh call by ref Peljto and Wilson scored from the spot by sending Sels the wrong way for his 14th Dragons goal.

Trossard and Lukaku wasted chances to put the game to bed and Wales netted a second on 51 minutes when Wilson set up Thomas to slot home.

Wales were in dreamland when Johnson headed home from Thomas’ centre before De Bruyne scored his 31st Belgium goal in his final act before he was substituted to crush Bellamy and Co.

A MAJOR fitness company has issued a recall for its adjustable dumbbells after injuries were reported.

The dumbbells were once sold at Costco, and millions could be impacted by the recall.

Getty

They were also available at Best Buy, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and via Amazon.

Johnson Health Tech Trading and the Consumer Product Safety Commission issued the recall for BowFlex 552 adjustable dumbbells and 1090 adjustable dumbbells.

But some are blasting Johnson Health Tech for not providing enough payback.

B-OW-FLEX

The Bowflex products are adjustable, but its weight-switching ability has come with an unfortunate side effect.

“The weight plates can dislodge from the handle during use, posing an impact hazard,” Bowflex explained in its recall notice.

Johnson Health Tech Trading, which took over Bowflex in 2024, told Fox Business that the faulty dumbbells predate its ownership of Bowflex.

“Over 95% of the more than 3.8 million BowFlex dumbbell models subject to this voluntary recall were sold during a twenty-year period by Nautilus Inc., which is no longer in business,” the company said. 

“Despite having no obligation to do so, Johnson Health Tech Trading is stepping up to provide a remedy to customers who purchased recalled dumbbells from Nautilus,” it said.

Nautilus had received hundreds of reports of plates dislodging from sold units.

111 of those incidents included an injury like “concussions, abrasions, broken toes or contusions,” a CPSC report said.

The recall applies to products sold between May 2004 and May 2025.

WHAT TO DO

If you have one of the covered products, CPSC suggests that you stop using it.

Johnson Health Tech Trading is contacting all known purchasers directly, according to CPSC.

If you are not contacted but still believe you qualify, you can reach out to Johnson Health or Bowflex directly.

Consumers can request a refund in the form of a replacement unit, a voucher, or a one-year membership to the JRNY fitness app. However, the recall may not cover the full value of either the original purchase price, or the purchase price for a full replacement.

To check if the recall applies to you, look for a serial number on the tray holding the dumbbells.

A list of qualifying serial numbers is available on CPSC’s website.

Some may be able to qualify for full refunds via voucher.

REELING OVER RECALL

Many fitness buffs found the offerings by Johnson Health Tech to be lacking.

“I got offered $60 voucher,” one said on Reddit. “The new set is $429 and after taxes and the shipping they will likely charge would be over $500 so the $60 voucher basically turns into a 14% coupon while I am left without the product I purchased.”

“This company is turning a safety recall into an opportunity to sell new products,” another complained. “This is disgraceful.”

MORE RECALLS

Paying attention to product recalls can keep you safe — and provide an opportunity for benefits.

Recalls can be especially urgent when they involve food.

Contaminated eggs were recently recalled after being sold at Walmart and Safeway.

A popular medicine was recently recalled due to a fungus contamination incident.

HOMEOWNERS and renters are dishing out more and more cash to cool their living spaces, with energy bills set to skyrocket to $784 on average this summer.

As rates reach an all-time high in the past 12 years, many Americans are falling behind on utility payments and risk seeing their electricity shut off.

NEADA

Energy bills are expected to reach an average of $784 this summer[/caption]

Not only is the temperature slowly ticking upwards as the official start of summer nears, but also energy bills.

This hot season, Americans will face yet another summer of record high costs to cool their homes, per a recent report from National Energy Assistance Directors Association, or NEADA.

The average price of electricity from June to September is projected to reach $784 in 2025 – a 6.2% hike from last year’s $737 average, or roughly 4.3% accounting for inflation.

This marks the highest cost of electricity in at least 12 years.

Just 10 years ago, the average electricity cost from June to September was $497.

The cost has skyrocketed due to two main factors, according to NEADA.

The first is that the price of electricity is rising at a quicker rate than inflation and the second is that temperatures are continuing to jump due to climate change, requiring more energy to cool homes.

Americans in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana are seeing the highest energy costs, with an average summer bill of $996.

Residents in the New England area – including states such as Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut – are also expected to shell out a hefty chunk of change to keep cool this summer, with an average bill of $922.

ON THE RISE

Rising energy costs are hitting low-income households the hardest, with electricity accounting for roughly 8.6% of their income – nearly three times the rate for Americans in other income brackets.

More and more low and moderate income households are becoming unable to pay their energy bills.

From April 2023 to April 2024, the percentage of these households who could not afford their electricity for at least one month jumped from 34.6% to 36.8%, according to the most recent Census Household Pulse Survey.

Consumers are racking up utility consumer debt as energy prices climb.

As of March 2025, Americans owe roughly $24 billion in utilities – a sharp rise from the $17.5 billion in utility consumer debt in January 2023.

Roughly 21.2 million US households, or one out of every six, are behind on their energy bills, according to NEADA estimates.

Americans unable to pay their bills on time are at risk of having their electricity shut off, leaving low-income families especially vulnerable to extreme heat in the summer.

Prolonged exposure to high temperatures without cooling can be dangerous and even fatal, resulting in heart attacks and respiratory failure.

Only 17 states and Washington DC offer some protections against electricity shut offs for those who are not up to date with their utility payments.

These states are working to strengthen the protections as the weather continues to get hotter and hotter each summer.

On the other hand, Americans in 33 states are at risk of having their AC shut off, as these states lack any summer shut-off protections.

This is especially dangerous for low-income families, leaving them vulnerable to dangerous health conditions resulting from extensive exposure to high temperatures.

As Americans’ bills climb, one company is offering “free electricity” every weekend – it just takes three easy steps.

Meanwhile, the price of AC units is skyrocketing due to a new “refrigerant” rule – and you face a hefty fee even if you already own one.

AT least 12 states have a law that bans a common item in grocery stores.

Consumers must stay vigilant, as not following the rule and using replacement options could result in extra fees.

GETTY

Back in 2016, California was the very first state to implement a single-use plastic bag ban at retailers.

Since then, 11 others have joined, including Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington.

The law is often implemented purely as an effort to reduce plastic waste and protect the environment.

On average, Americans use about 100 billion plastic bags every year, which equates to around 300 per person per year, according to data from Environment America.

Beyond Plastics notes that the worldwide plastic bag use number is as high as 5 trillion.

Four visits for the average family to the grocery store means about 60 plastic bags.

Plastic bags also account for around 10% of the debris found on the coastlines of the United States, creating what’s known as “plastic gyres” in the ocean.

Gyres are rotating ocean currents, per the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

So, when garbage builds up in them, it creates a large and concentrated area.

Additionally, plastics are still only recycled 9% of the time and make up 19% of landfills.

While the bag ban is for a good cause, shoppers are left paying an added fee in the 12 states and numerous cities who have it for other bags, like paper.

Pennsylvania could be the 13th state soon to have the single-use plastic bag ban.

Legislation was proposed by Senator Judith Schwank (D), which stemmed from students at Governor Mifflin High School in Shillington, 61 miles outside of Philadelphia.

Philadelphia already has a ban of its own, which has contributed to reductions of around 200 million plastic bags since 2018.

The proposed bill did detail fees on alternative bag options to further encourage consumers to bring their own.

So far, there is opposition to the bill, and it remains unclear if or when it will pass.

Individual retailers have also made efforts to reduce plastic bag usage.

ALDI’S MISSION

Aldi has arguably been the leader of these efforts.

In January 2024, it became the first major supermarket chain to completely eliminate plastic bags at its over 2,500 stores.

Customers have cited a fee of around 12 cents to use paper bags as a result.

Aldi is also seeking to convert to completely natural refrigerants in the next decade.

Consumers in Michigan could also soon see a plastic bag ban.

Some shoppers were also left raging over the ban recently, fuming that officials would “ban sun if they could.”

THOUSANDS in SNAP benefits were yanked from recipients after devices claimed months of food stamps.

Justice is almost here for hundreds of Ohio residents after three people were indicted on allegations of using credit card killers.

Three suspects were indicted in the fraud and allegedly used skimmers to steal card information[/caption]

The suspects allegedly stole more than $600,000 from SNAP recipients, and there may be more victims in other states.

“It was embarrassing, disappointing, I did not understand what was going on at first,” SNAP recipient Shadawna Collier told NBC affiliate WCMH-TV.

Social worker Lakisa Dukes first caught on to the scheme nearly a year ago and contacted the Ohio Investigative Unit to look into the use of card skimmers.

“I love it,” Dukes told the outlet.

“I love it because I felt like so many people had been affected by this and no one was listening.”

Dukes said she heard from several clients who were victims of the fraud.

“This is literally families who, that is all they have for food,” she said.

In 2024, nearly 27,000 people reported that their SNAP benefits were gone, totaling $14 million in taxpayer money, reported WCMH-TV.

Collier called the suspects’ arrests “relieving.”

“I know a lot of people rely on the food stamps,” she said.

“Our suspects in this case victimize some of the poorest people that we have across the country, because they use SNAP benefits from all over the country,” said Ohio Investigative Unit Agent in Charge Sam Love in a statement.

Investigators were able to track the suspects across the US.

Dozens of fraudulent cards filled with stolen funds were found, said Love.

“They’re very transient, they travel all over,” he added.

“They went all over the country.”

According to a press release from the OIU, a search warrant executed on the suspects’ car led to the discovery of more than $62,600 in cash, several gold coins, various pieces of gold jewelry, four cell phones, suspected cloned credit cards, and records.

During the arrest, investigators allegedly found machines used to copy stolen card information and skimmers.

“The ones they are putting on now are pretty small,” said Love.

“They can slip right onto the terminal, and it takes a good bit of effort for us to pull them off.”

Ohio isn’t alone in these thefts, as most states use SNAP cards that swipe, making them easy targets.

Adding a chip feature to the cards could stop about 85% of thefts, according to the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services.

“We know there’s more going on,” said Love.

“So the work continues, but it’s just, you know, on to the next case.”

Ryan Seacrest’s rumored new girlfriend Camille Orders is an Australian celebrity realtor with ties to Pete Davidson. 

The U.S. Sun can reveal that Wheel of Fortune host Ryan‘s new love interest lives an eclectic life, which began in Sydney and wound its way through the U.K. before landing in New York City.

Camille, 31, was spotted wandering around Rome with Ryan and his dog last week, about one year after his split from model Aubrey Paige, 27.

After a start in Australia and years living in Los Angeles, Camille now lives in a stunning $2.5 million loft in Brooklyn’s Greenpoint neighborhood.

The 50-year-old American Idol host’s alleged girlfriend not only has a knack for decorating, she also knows how to turn her eye for fine living into a business.

According to her Instagram profile, she rents out her apartment as an event space and for photo and video shoots.

Ryan’s girlfriend also appears to be friends with comedian Pete Davidson’s model girlfriend, Elsie Hewitt.

The two have shared a number of nights out together.

In one moment documented on Camille’s Instagram, she and Elsie can be seen dancing together during a night out in Ibiza.

After her wild nights, Camille spends her days working for high-end realtor Ryan Serhant’s self-named agency.

According to The Daily Mail, Camille previously worked as an intern at E! News in Los Angeles, when Ryan still worked for the network.

However, there is no indication that the pair actually crossed paths during her time at the network.

Despite friends close to Ryan denying a relationship, The U.S. Sun has obtained photos showing Camille with her hands caressing the host while the pair were vacationing last week. 

Ryan has otherwise remained single since his three-year relationship with Aubrey Paige ended in April 2024.

The American Idol host and the model first confirmed their romance in 2021 after being seen together at a Memorial Day party in the Hamptons.

During their time together, the couple made numerous public appearances and shared photos of their relationship on social media.

Before his relationship with Aubrey, Ryan dated model Shayna Taylor, 33, and they were on and off for about 8 years from 2014 to 2020. 

And before Shayna, Ryan was in a long term relationship with Dancing With the Stars host Julianne Hough, 36, from 2010 to 2013. 

In addition to dating a slew of younger women, Ryan is one of the hardest working people in showbiz.

He’s been the host of American Idol for 23 seasons.

He is also the host of the nationally-syndicated radio show, On Air with Ryan Seacrest, and is famously the new host of Wheel of Fortune.

A DRIVER has slammed Geico for sending her a $2,000 check to cover costs after a devastating auto accident.

Her busted SUV was brought to a mechanic who couldn’t agree on how much the damages would cost to repair.

The driver was afraid she’d have to pay thousands in storage fees[/caption]

The driver, Catherine Graves, was concerned that she would be shelling out thousands of dollars in fees after the auto accident, as reported by CBS News affiliate KENS-TV.

After an unfortunate car crash on Highway 281 and Loop 1602, Graves thought she was parting ways with her totaled SUV until it could be repaired.

Immediately after the incident, a tow truck took her cherished vehicle to a car shop on San Pedro Avenue in San Antonio, Texas.

Although the driver never specified where to bring her SUV, she signed off on the towing company taking the vehicle to a mechanic.

Graves then spoke with her insurance provider, Geico, to address how much they would be able to cover after the collision.

Geico decided that the SUV was a total loss — meaning they would pay the owner a sum of money depending on the value of the vehicle.

Then, Geico would pay the mechanic for any inspection or storage costs to reclaim the car.

Disregarding this process, Geico sent her a random amount of $2,000 without explaining what that money should be used for.

This was four weeks after Graves’ initial insurance claim.

“I didn’t know what that was for,” she said.

“I texted the adjuster and asked what the $2,000 was for. He said ‘that’s for the collision shop and it needs to come from you.'”

It was later revealed that the insurance company and the body shop couldn’t agree on how much the mechanic should be paid for the repairs.

Typically, the insurance company, through an adjuster, will create its own estimate of the repair costs based on its assessment of the damage.

Then, the mechanic or body shop, who assesses the damage and determines the necessary repairs, provides their own estimate, which may be higher than the insurance company’s estimate due to differences in labor costs.

If additional damage is found during the repair process, the mechanic can typically submit a “supplement” to the insurance company, requesting additional funds to cover the unforeseen expenses.

Instead of following through with proper negotiation, Geico’s insurance adjuster sent Graves a check that was meant to go to the auto shop.

After Graves contacted KENS-TV about the situation, she heard back from the body shop and Geico’s corporate office within 24 hours.

“Oh my goodness it’s wonderful. I just see daylight for the first time in about two and a half months,” Graves said. 

“We are pleased to have resolved this matter for Ms. Graves. GEICO attempted to negotiate with Northside Collision over the payment of a reasonable fee for storing her vehicle,” a Geico spokesperson told KENS-TV.

“However, the body shop refused to work with our team, which resulted in the delay.”

Geico did not immediately reply to The U.S. Sun’s request for comment.
