Published by Parlour News

The Euphoria actress sent the rumor mill into overdrive after she attended Glen Powell’s sister’s wedding in Dallas, TX, last weekend. Fans wondered whether she ignited a rebound romance with her Anyone But You co-star. They immediately drew comparisons to the plotline of their 2023 rom-com, where Sweeney’s character joins Powell’s character for his sister’s wedding.  Moreover, the actors had sparked dating rumors while they were promoting the film. It seemed like the Madame Web actress grew fond of the Twisters star, prompting her to call off her wedding to her fiancé.  However, a source close to Powell told The Post that things have been platonic between him and Sweeney. “Would they be a great couple?

Chugh`s remarks came amid speculation of dissent within the AAP`s Punjab unit following the party`s defeat in the Delhi Assembly polls, the results of which were declared on Saturday.

Newly-elected BJP MLA from West Delhi`s Rajouri Garden Manjinder Singh Sirsa echoed similar sentiments, suggesting that Kejriwal might sideline Mann. …
