A disturbing new trailer for Don’t Worry Darling — starring Harry Styles and Florence Pugh — arrived Thursday, and it’s bound to give you the creeps.

The new trailer explores the crumbling mental state of Harry and Pugh’s respective characters, Jack and Alice, who live in an idyllic, experimental town housing project built to meet every resident’s needs.

While Jack seems hellbent on keeping what he has, yelling, “I gave you all of this, Alice,” his wife finds herself consumed by nightmares and begins questioning reality. One jarring scene finds her euphorically wrapping her head in plastic wrap while she says in a voiceover, “They’re lying about everything,” as she suffocates.

The trailer hints that perhaps the Victory Project isn’t based in reality — but in a dream world. A brief, one-second flash shows a sickly Alice lying in a hospital bed with her eyes held open by a contraption. Other hints left in the trailer show her breaking open a bunch of eggs that are empty on the inside.

Alice warns in another voiceover that the project is “all about control” as the scene pans to Chris Pine‘s character, Frank, shouting, “Whose world is it?”  The camera cuts to a defiant Jack, who beats his chest as he bellows along with the rest of the men, “Ours!”

Don’t Worry Darling is due out September 23.

Harry is also set to star in another film, My Policeman, which is set to have its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival, which runs September 8 through September 18. The movie’s theatrical and streaming premiere is set for October 21.

Radiohead hasn’t played a show in four years and hasn’t released an album in six years. That, coupled with the recent launch of frontman Thom Yorke and guitarist Jonny Greenwood side project The Smile, has fans wondering about the status of the OK Computer group.

Guitarist Ed O’Brien shed some light on the subject in an interview on the podcast The Line-Up with Shaun Keaveny.

During the interview, which originally aired in April but is just now making the rounds, O’Brien was asked about the “the current situation with Radiohead,” to which he answered, “There’s no Radiohead at the moment.”

When the host asserted that O’Brien knows that “it’s all gonna come back together again,” the guitarist replied, “It might, but the other thing is, it might not. And does that matter?”

While many fans may think that does, indeed, matter, O’Brien is more concerned with making sure that Radiohead’s next move, whatever it is, be genuine.

“We could do something in a couple years, we might not,” O’Brien said. “But … it has to be five people going, ‘I really wanna do this again with you.’ And I think, at the moment, because we’ve done it for so long, we’re all reaching out and wanting to have different experiences. That should be allowed, and I think it should be encouraged.”

Before you get too worked up about the potential end of Radiohead, O’Brien is “almost certain” they’ll continue to play together.

“But you’ve got to also be able to be fine with it not happening again,” he added.

Ellie Goulding knows other artists claim their fanbase is the best, but she insists hers takes the cake.

Speaking to UK radio station Heart, the “Burn” hitmaker explained why her fanbase is so special. “I do have the sweetest fans in the world,” Ellie said. “They’re so so lovely and really supportive of me.”

“The other day, I was kind of getting quite bogged down with the politics and stuff,” she continued, adding she posted a meme about wanting everyone to go away. “My fans were like, ‘Oh my god, you don’t mean us, do you? Because we just love you. We just want to make sure you’re okay.'”

The Grammy nominee also said her fans urged her to take a few days off to decompress, which she found heartening. She added she assured her followers, “You’re so sweet. I need you. I need you. Just, literally, [I don’t need] everyone else.”

Since Ellie has such a great relationship with her fans, she said it’s about time she “came back with some new music” after a pandemic-induced break and the birth of her first child, Arthur.

She recently released “Easy Lover” with Big Sean, saying of the collab, “It’s so nice to work with someone you genuinely want the best for and [who] deserves the best and he’s such an incredible artist.”

Ellie also spoke about her old songs becoming popular again, such as the case with her 2016 single “Still Falling For You,” which is all over TikTok and back on the charts.

“To hear everyone singing that back is just wild because I never really released it properly as a song,” she exclaimed, adding the same has happened to her 2010 single “Lights”.

Said Ellie, “It’s like the Kate Bush thing!”

Ricky Martin broke his silence about his nephew’s troubling allegations now that a judge has sided with the “Livin’ La Vida Loca” singer.

Ricky addressed fans hours after a Puerto Rican court dismissed the restraining order his nephew, 21-year-old Dennis Yadiel Sanchez, filed against him. 

“I’m in front of the cameras today because I really need to talk in order for me to start my healing process,” he said in a video shared by TMZ. “For two weeks, I was not allowed to defend myself because I was following a procedure where the law obligated me not to talk until I was in front of a judge.”

Sanchez accused Ricky of engaging in a seven-month relationship with him and, when filing for protection, claimed he “feared for his safety.” He claimed the singer began stalking him following the end of their alleged relationship.

“Thank God [these] claims were proven to be false,” the Grammy winner declared, “but I’m going to tell you the truth. It has been so painful. It has been devastating for me, for my family, for my friends. I don’t wish this upon anybody.”

Ricky also had words for his nephew, saying, “To the person that was claiming this nonsense, I wish him the best. And I wish he finds the help so he can start a new life filled with love and truth and joy and he doesn’t hurt anybody else.”

The singer said he is going to focus on healing. “And how do I heal? With music. I cannot wait to be back on stage. I cannot wait to be back in front of the cameras and entertain, which is what I do best,” he declared.

Ricky ended his video message by thanking those who supported him.
