Sydney Sweeney is celebrating her birthday a little early.

Specifically, she donned her birthday suit during an otherwise “clothed” lingerie ad.

At one point, Sydney eschewed the intimate garb, covering her nudity with nothing except birthday cake.

Anyone developing a sudden sweet tooth?

Sydney Sweeney has our attention

On Thursday, August 27, Sydney took to her Instagram page and beyond to share a tantalizing new video.

The post is actually an ad for SYRN (“siren” stylized for branding purposes), the actress’ fashion line.

Though she has investors (notably, Jeff Bezos), Sydney herself is the most prominent face — and arguably the biggest attraction — of the clothing brand.

In her new video, she is wearing different lingerie outfits in the kitchen.

Viewers are first treated to a POV from inside the refrigerator. Most folks would not look so flattering leaning over to check the fridge while wearing only their underwear.

It appears that the narrative of the video is that she is very messily making a cake.

While wearing lingerie.

(There is, critics argue, an uncomfortable tradwife aesthetic given the old-timey milk bottles and the whole kitchen thing, but thankfully Sydney herself is not dressed like a cultist.)

She makes a lot of cakes, even if she smears so much flour on her buttocks that she apparently has no choice but to remove at least one undergarment in the process.

Then, as she walks towards the table, she holds two cakes to her chest, her lingerie having vanished. It is soon replaced by a set of black lingerie, which she wears as she crawls alluringly onto the table.

This ad continues a major pivot in her public image

A couple of years ago, Sydney Sweeney was fairly open about hoping to be seen as an actress.

(To be clear, that is still correct — she is an extremely talented actress. Immaculate continues to haunt us.)

Starting around a year ago, however, she began openly using her public image to market her products.

This is a smart move for her lingerie line.

And, considering that Sydney’s on-screen nudity and sexual roles are what they are, it probably won’t hurt her image as an actress.

This particular line of SYRN lingerie comes out on September 1.

We cannot help but note that Sydney’s birthday is September 12.

(She will turn 29.)

It is possible, perhaps even likely, that the whole birthday cake (and birthday suit) motif was intentional.

But you don’t have to know this piece of trivia about her to, um, appreciate the ad.

Britney Spears knows how much she lost during the unjust conservatorship that controlled her life.

But she’s not sure if fans are fully aware.

In a new post, Britney reflected upon the “real damage that was done to my heart and soul.”

As she heals and plans for the future, she cannot forget her past.

‘The real damage that was done to my heart and soul in the conservatorship’

On Thursday, August 27, Britney Spears took to her Instagram page to share a video of herself modeling a flashy, skimpy bikini outfit.

In her caption, she shared an emotional deep dive.

“I actually miss the way I respected people so much,” Britney began.

She recalled feeling “that there was a genuine mystery of acute oneness when we were together, which was sacred.”

Britney wrote: “I feel like, still to this day, people don’t realize the real damage that was done to my heart and soul in the conservatorship.”

She reflected: “But it’s bizarre. I was painfully shy, but I got to be someone different on stage.”

(This is not uncommon among performers. The act of performance can be therapeutic.)

“After having kids, though, I think that game was beyond overdone,” Britney expressed.

“I felt so silly and embarrassed,” she admitted. “I think it’s easier when you’re younger to go there.”

Growing older, having a changing body, and having new priorities can make performing, stripping down, and more become challenging tasks on a mental and emotional level.

‘I’ve been single for so long’

“Anyways, this video is actually crazy ’cause it’s identical to the ‘Gimme More’ video,” Britney Spears wrote.

“But,” she explained, “done with a version of me with 6-year-old legs and looking way younger. Crazy.”

Britney spent years performing or rehearsing almost daily. It is normal and natural for her to have lower muscle tone now, and we think that she is being uncharitable towards herself.

“I’ve been single for so long,” she reflected. “And I haven’t really shown my body except one time in my green bathing suit.”

Britney stated bluntly: “You can see here I’m actually extremely short. For some reason in paparazzi pics and in my living room, I seem to have very long legs. Maybe an illusion…”

“The front of my house is the show stage!!!!!” Britney said, perhaps jokingly. “Yet backstage I look quite a bit different.”

She recalled: “I remember when I first came to LA, I always felt like the youngest and shortest person in the room.”

Britney wrote about meeting Shakira, and feeling like they were similar. This would have been around 2001.

“I finally felt normal,” she wrote.

What was done to Britney during her conservatorship is probably not something that she can ever fully recover from. She cannot get those years back. She cannot undo institutionalization or involuntarily going on lithium.

All that she can do is continue to heal as she moves forward.

The ongoing legal war between Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor took a stunning new turn today.

In court documents obtained by TMZ, Brittany requests a temporary restraining order, alleging that Jax threatened to “gut” her “like a f—en fish” and physically attacked her.

The request was granted, and Jax has been ordered to stay 100 yards away from Brittany at all times.

Brittany also requested sole custody of the exes’ 5-year-old son, Cruz, but that petition was denied pending a hearing.

Brittany alleges that Jax engaged in “coercive control, financial abuse, emotional and psychological abuse, gaslighting, and even physical violence perpetrated upon me.”

She also accuses him of physically attacking her and throwing furniture at her, which resulted in injuries.

She goes on to claim that Jax — with whom she co-starred on Bravo’s Vanderpump Rules — intentionally damaged multiple iPhones and one iPad during one of his alleged rages.

TMZ has also obtained what they say are photos showing the aftermath of one of Jax’s alleged violent outbursts.

The photos seem to show a large bruise on Brittany’s knee, a badly damaged iPad, and other signs of

Brittany alleges that the damage took place during a July 2024 incident at their home.

She claims that Jax became angry after going through private messages on her iPad.

She alleges that the bruise is a result of Jax throwing a coffee table, which struck her on the knee.

Needless to say, these are very serious allegations, and the legal war between these exes is likely to intensify even further from here.

Jax previously accused Brittany of trying to sabotage his career by making damaging public statements.

These days, Jax is dating Lori Krebs, a friend of Brittany’s who previously worked as her publicist.

Brittany condemned the relationship, as well as Jax’s infidelities and other transgressions during their relationship, but this is the first time that she has accused him of physical abuse.

Taylor has yet to publicly respond to the allegations.

We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.
