Harry Styles is officially ready to be part of your world. A photoshoot of the 27-year-old singer-songwriter dressed as Ariel from The Little Mermaid surfaced online on Friday (April 16) and promptly submerged the internet. The collection of images — in which Styles raises a glass of champagne while wearing the character’s quintessential bright red wig, seashell bra, and green tail — are from a previously unreleased photoshoot from when Styles hosted Saturday Night Live in November 2019. The promotional images were skipped over in favor of a set of those that featured Styles posing on a huge disco ball, leaping through the air in a leotard, and playing the harp. The fishy pics were lef...

In the span of just 27 years, Justin Bieber has lived lifetimes. He’s been the childhood star, the teen heartthrob, the rebel without a cause, and most recently, the devout husband. In an all-encompassing cover profile by GQ that published Tuesday (April 13), Bieber opened up about it all: the importance of forgiveness, growing from his infamous past, and the difficulties he experienced in his first year of marriage. The singer, who dropped the surprise gospel EP Freedom last week, admitted that, as a young adult growing up in the spotlight, he let his “ego” and “insecurities” shape how he saw himself, his career, and the world around him. But that outlook took its toll. He felt “numb” while on the tail end of his 2017 Purpose tour —...

With the re-recording of her 2008 album Fearless set to drop on Friday (April 9), Taylor Swift has tapped her “kids” Olivia Rodrigo and Conan Gray to create their own wholesome, DIY videos inspired by two of her biggest hits from the Fearless era: “You Belong With Me” and “White Horse.” In a tweet on Thursday (April 8), Swift shared that she had sent Gray and Rodrigo an advance copy of the re-recording of her legendary single “You Belong With Me” and her reaction to their corresponding video, which features the two singing the song’s chorus into hairbrushes, was perfectly wholesome. “You ok? NO cause I sent my two kids @Olivia_Rodrigo and @conangray my new version of You Belong With Me an...

Violence against Asian Americans has risen dramatically over the past year. The coalition Stop AAPI Hate has tracked nearly 4,000 incidents of discrimination over the past year alone, as NPR reported earlier this month, though experts and advocates stress that the actual number is likely much higher. In March 2021 alone, a gunman in Atlanta killed six women of Asian descent amid widely circulated social-media videos of other brutal anti-Asian attacks in New York City and elsewhere. The members of BTS have taken to Twitter to speak out, both in English and Korean, against this uptick in violence and racist incidents as well as to reveal that they themselves — J-Hope, Jimin, Jin, Jungkook, RM, Suga, and V — have faced discrimination, though they stressed that their experience doesn’t c...

After over six years of marriage, Kim Kardashian has reportedly filed to divorce Kanye West. TMZ broke the news on Friday (February 19), writing that unnamed sources “say it’s as amicable as a divorce can be.” The news comes as a close to a rocky year-and-change for the celebrity pair. Rumors of their split began circulating in early January, but by then, it seemed the nail was already in the coffin. Kanye’s sensational yet ultimately failed presidential campaign, which he first hinted at back at the VMAs in 2015, included a rally in South Carolina where he claimed Kim was trying to “lock [him] up” and divulged a personal story about the reality star almost seeking an abortion. At the time, a source per Page Six said that “Kim [was] ...

Dustin Diamond, best known for playing Screech on NBC’s beloved 1980s and ’90s teen sitcom Saved By the Bell, has died, outlets are reporting. The 44-year-old actor was diagnosed with carcinoma, a type of cancer, three weeks ago and entered the hospital, Variety reports. “In that time, it managed to spread rapidly throughout his system; the only mercy it exhibited was its sharp and swift execution,” Diamond’s representatives said in a statement. “Dustin did not suffer. He did not have to lie submerged in pain. For that, we are grateful.” Photo by Noel Vasquez/Getty Images In January, his rep told NBC News that Diamond had begun chemotherapy for stage 4 lung cancer. Diamond’s showbiz break came in 1989, when Saved By the Bell premiered and qui...

On Tuesday night (January 5), a TMZ report emerged that hip-hop icon Dr. Dre had suffered a brain aneurysm on Monday and remained in intensive care at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Shortly after, the storied MC, producer, and mogul — born Andre Young — took to Instagram to give a positive update on his condition. “Thanks to my family, friends and fans for their interest and well wishes,” Dre, 55, wrote. “I’m doing great and getting excellent care from my medical team. I will be out of the hospital and back home soon. Shout out to all the great medical professionals at Cedars. One Love!!” Local L.A. television station KABC reports, however, that his home in Brentwood has been the site of an attempted burglary while Dre remains in the hospital. Rep...

It’s not 2016 anymore, but Emma Stone must still be in la la land — because she’s pregnant! A source confirmed to People this week that the 32-year-old Oscar winner is expecting her first child with her husband, Dave McCary. The pair married last year after beginning dating in 2017, and late last month, photos obtained by the Daily Mail showed off Stone’s baby bump as she walked around Los Angeles. Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images Stone reportedly first met McCary, a segment director for Saturday Night Live and the director of the film Brigsby Bear, when she hosted the sketch show in 2017. They’ve kept their relationship largely private, though they’ve been seen together in public occasionally, including at a Los Angeles Clippers game in 2019 and at various awar...
