Did you know that Harry Styles has helped send strangers to therapy? Well, sort of.
As People reports, a woman named Elena Kilgore started a line of charity merch in 2021 called Other People Fund, with the goal of using proceeds to pay for therapy sessions for those who can’t afford them. The name comes from the slogan printed on the t-shirts and totes: “I think we should see other people — and by other people, I mean therapists.”
So what does that have to do with Harry? Elena told People that when she was designing the merch with a graphic designer, she described her vision as, “I want it to be something Harry Styles would wear.” That led her to contact his stylist, Harry Lambert, to share the designs, noting the singer has always been pro-therapy.
Soon after, she heard back.
“I had a DM, a message on my website, an email, all of these message,” she said. “It was Harry Lambert and he said, ‘Do you ship to the U.K.? I want to buy a shirt. How do we get a shirt? This is awesome.'”
Elena sent him two shirts and a tote, which Harry was later spotted carrying, bringing attention to the brand. As a result, Elena said, sales went through the roof.
“We did around $40,000 in sales, so Harry like is singularly responsible for hundreds of people being able to go to therapy,” she explained.
According to Elena, all proceeds go toward funding therapy through her nonprofit, Support for the Psyche. Most applicants receive an average of three therapy sessions.
So far, she said the initiative has funded 1,300 sessions through merch sales.

The Temper Trap has announced the details of the band’s first album in 10 years.
The “Sweet Disposition” outfit’s long-awaited fourth studio effort, the follow-up to 2016’s Thick as Thieves, is called Sungazer and is due out July 10.
“With time apart and much personal growth from us all, Sungazer feels like it’s captured the most pure collection of music we’ve ever made,” The Temper Trap says in a statement. “We had more fun making this record and in the writing room than on any of the previous records we’ve done.”

Fetty Wap is “back in the studio,” and he tells TheFader “it feels good” to return. He recently released his new album, Zavier, which finds him opening up in ways fans have never seen before.
“The world really don’t know nothing about me. I don’t like to talk about myself,” he says. “I’ve never let people in my personal space.”
While he’s shared parts of himself through music, Fetty says he’s “more aggressive but also more approachable” on his new album.
“I’m down to sit down and talk about me now,” he tells Fader. “Like, you want to know something, I got you. That’s the whole Fetty Wap versus Zavier thing.”
“Fetty Wap was more young, reckless, wild — if the homies can’t get in with me, we not going,” he continues. “Zavier’s like, tell the homies if they can’t find their way there, they not going. He’s on a mature level. He’s a grown man. … He’s protecting everything around him this time, but also protecting himself first.”
One of the album’s most personal moments comes on the song “Remember,” where Fetty reflects on the lack of support he felt early in his career.
“I’m basically telling people the love that everybody showing me now when I was home, they didn’t show it like that,” Fetty says. “I appreciate all this love now, but it wasn’t there. This wasn’t that then. So I’m [letting] you guys know, this is how I was feeling.”
“[T]hat was probably the hardest thing to admit to the world,” he adds. “I felt like I was left out.”
On how he feels about his “underdog career,” Fetty says, “I love being challenged. … I’ma always find my way out of it. And I’ma come out winning.”
Poster for John Lennon & Yoko Ono ‘Power to the People’ concert film (Trafalgar Releasing/Mercury Studios)
We are getting another look at the upcoming John Lennon and Yoko Ono concert film Power to the People: John & Yoko/Plastic Ono Band with Elephant’s Memory and Special Guests – Live at the One To One Concert, New York City, 1972.
A new clip from the film has just been released, featuring a performance of Lennon’s iconic single “Imagine.” The clip is mostly a tight shot of Lennon’s face as he sings the song seated at the keyboards, although it does cut away at one point to show Ono sitting right beside him.
Power to the People captures Lennon and Ono’s historic August 1972 concerts at Madison Square Garden, which were Lennon’s only full-length performances after The Beatles’ 1970 breakup. The concerts, which raised money for children with intellectual and developmental disabilities, featured special guests Stevie Wonder, Sha Na Na and others.
The footage of the concerts has been restored, re-edited and remixed by a team led by the couple’s son, Sean Ono Lennon. Highlights from the concerts previously appeared in the documentary One to One: John and Yoko, directed by filmmaker Kevin Macdonald.
Power to the People will screen in theaters nationwide on April 29 and May 3. Tickets are on sale now.
Trinity Bliss stars as Tuk Sully in ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash.’ (Disney)
Trinity Bliss joined the world of Avatar when she was only 7 years old.
The 16-year-old actress has spent the better part of her life training, filming and promoting her breakout role as Tuk Sully, the youngest child of Neytiri and Jake Sully, in both Avatar: The Way of Water and Avatar: Fire and Ash. The latter film is now available to watch on all digital platforms.
“I have grown up with her, and she’s just such a big part of me and she’ll live in me forever because of that,” Bliss said. “I just saw myself in her in so many ways and I think that was, like, an exciting thing about discovering in her and through her and who she is from the training process to filming.”
Bliss relates to Tuk being the youngest child in the Sully family.
“We both just want to keep up with the older kids, and prove our worth and not be underestimated,” Bliss said. “She’s much more fearless than me, and I wish I could embody that. But even just the fact that she’s mixed race, I saw myself in her in so many ways.”
It’s no secret that Bliss wants to continue Tuk’s story in two more potential Avatar sequels. She says Tuk has been “stuck in this time capsule of being 8 and 9” while she was able to age in real life.
“I would just love to explore her in Avatar 4 and 5, and just see who she is as a teenager and who she evolves into, especially because in the time jump that happens in [Avatar] 4, so much happens to our characters that makes them grow so much in ways they really shouldn’t have to, but in ways that are also so important to who they are,” Bliss said. “I’m so excited at the idea of getting to see her in that way and play her at the age I’m at now.”
Nickelback got in on the April Fools’ Day fun with fake album news.
In a social media post, the Canadian rockers announced they’d be putting out a new record called San Quentin, featuring 15 versions of their single “San Quentin.”
Sample track names include “San Quentin (Live from Someone’s iPhone),” “San Quentin (And It’s the Same But There Are Three More Guitar Solos So It’s Not)” and “San Quentin (Taylor’s Version) (10 Minute Version).”
Also on the track list is a song called “The Betrayal (Act II)” — a reference to Nickelback previously releasing songs called “The Betrayal (Act I)” and “The Betrayal (Act III).”
The real “San Quentin” appears on Nickelback’s latest album, 2022’s Get Rollin’.
As for actual new Nickelback music, the band put out a single called “Bones for the Crows” in March. They also appear in a new commercial with rapper Megan Thee Stallion for Cheetos, which definitely sounds like an April Fools’ Day joke but is in fact very real.

(WASHINGTON) — A federal committee, comprised of senior Trump administration officials, voted unanimously to grant an exemption under the Endangered Species Act for oil and gas operations in the Gulf, citing national security concerns.
Environmental groups criticized the decision, warning that it could significantly jeopardize the conservation of dozens of threatened and endangered species in the region, including whales, sea turtles, whooping cranes and manatees.
The Endangered Species Committee convened Tuesday after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a national security finding that triggered the exemption process.
Under the Endangered Species Act, the Endangered Species Committee can grant rare exemptions when a federal action is of national or regional significance and the benefits of proceeding clearly outweigh the benefits of alternatives that would conserve the species. Economic, security and other public-interest factors can be considered alongside conservation mandates, though exemptions are rarely used.
“At the request of the Department of War, the Endangered Species Committee convened today to consider a national security exemption under the Endangered Species Act with respect to oil and gas activities in the Gulf of America,” the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said in a statement to ABC News.
“The Committee voted in favor of the national security exemption, acknowledging the critical risks involved in restricting oil and gas activities in the Gulf of America, and also recognizing that the action encompassed protective measures for endangered species.”
Officials emphasized that sustained oil and gas production in the region is essential to U.S. national security and economic stability, and cautioned that critical energy operations should not be jeopardized by the threat of disruptive litigation.
The committee, created in 1978, is very rarely convened due to the strict, narrow standards for its implementation. It has not met in more than 30 years, and this is the first time a national security justification has been used to convene the committee.
The Endangered Species Committee, composed of the Secretary of the Interior, the Secretary of Agriculture, the Secretary of the Army, the chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency and the administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, was fully present and voted unanimously in favor of granting the exemption.
“This meeting made clear that energy streams in the Gulf of America must not be disrupted or held hostage by ongoing litigation,” said Secretary Burgum. “Energy production in the Gulf of America is indispensable to our nation’s strength, safeguarding our energy independence and preventing reliance on foreign adversaries. Robust development in the Gulf keeps our economy resilient, stabilizes costs for American families and secures the U.S. as a global leader for decades to come.”
On March 13, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth notified Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, chair of the Endangered Species Committee, that a national security exemption under Section 7(j) of the Endangered Species Act, was necessary, prompting Secretary Burgum to publish a notice of the meeting in the Federal Register.
The meeting began with the defense secretary addressing the committee, stressing the importance of a steady, affordable domestic energy supply, which is currently under threat. He thanked the committee members for convening to discuss what he called “a matter of urgent national security.”
“This is not just about gas prices. It’s about our ability to power our military and protect our nation. That vital energy supply right now is under threat,” Hegseth said. “In January, well before Operation Epic Fury, the Department of the Interior notified the Department of War about ongoing Endangered Species Act litigation that threatened to halt oil and gas production in the Gulf of America.”
According to Hegseth, the litigation seeks to stop Gulf oil and gas activities rather than allow them to proceed alongside responsible endangered species protections.
“These legal battles waste critical government resources and make it impossible for energy companies to plan and invest in new projects. When development in the Gulf is chilled, we are prevented from producing the energy we need as a country and as a department,” Hegseth added. “The Strait of Hormuz is the world’s busiest oil route and recent hostile action by the Iranian terror regime highlights yet again why robust domestic oil production is a national security imperative.”
However, environmental groups argue this is not what the authors of this landmark law intended.
The Center for Biological Diversity sued Secretary Burgum on March 18, attempting to block the committee meeting, saying the government missed legal requirements, including filing deadlines, providing ample public notice, and having an administrative law judge preside. Following the committee’s decision, the group announced it will amend its existing lawsuit to challenge the defense secretary’s national security determination and the exemption.
“Americans overwhelmingly oppose sacrificing endangered whales and other marine life so the fossil fuel industry can get richer. This has nothing to do with national security and everything to do with Trump and his lackeys kowtowing to Big Oil,” Brett Hartl, government affairs director at the Center for Biological Diversity, said in a statement.
Environmental groups are particularly concerned about the Rice’s whale, which, according to NOAA, is one of the rarest and most endangered whales in the world and is found only in the Gulf.
NOAA Fisheries, which manages protections for marine species under the Endangered Species Act, listed the Gulf of Mexico Bryde’s whale as endangered in 2019 and, in 2021, updated its name to Rice’s whale to reflect the newly accepted scientific taxonomy and nomenclature of the species.
According to the Marine Mammal Commission, the most recent population estimates show there are only 51 Rice’s whales remaining.
The Rice’s whale’s small population, limited range and low genetic diversity make it highly vulnerable to threats such as vessel strikes and oil spills. NOAA says the 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill exposed about 48 percent of its habitat in the eastern Gulf, likely causing a population decline of up to 22 percent and leaving lasting impacts on reproduction and growth.
The committee’s decision will not have any immediate effect, and lawsuits challenging the action could delay its implementation further. It could be several years before any future additional oil production tied to the decision is realized.
“The action could make it easier for applications to be granted for further oil and gas exploration and development in the Gulf; but it takes several years between the filing of an application and the production of the first barrel of oil,” said Michael Gerrard, a professor at Columbia Law School and the faculty director of the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law. ”No court has ordered oil and gas production to be shut down in the Gulf, and such an order seems very unlikely.”
Jethro Tull Under Wraps: The Unwrapped Edition (Rhino/Warner Music)
Jethro Tull is set to release a new box set highlighting their 15th studio album, Under Wraps.
Jethro Tull Under Wraps: The Unwrapped Edition is a five-CD + Blu-ray set that will feature a newly remixed version of the album, along with a newly remixed version of frontman Ian Anderson’s 1983 solo release, Walk Into Light.
While they are two separate albums, both represent a change in direction for Anderson, as they relied more on technology, including synthesizers and drum machines. The remixes, by musician Bruce Soord, include both the original drum sounds and 2026 traditional drum recordings.
The set also includes unreleased recordings from 1983, as well as a CD of a live show captured in 1984 at the Hammersmith Odeon in London for BBC Radio 1. In addition, the set includes a Blu-ray with stereo and Dolby Atmos mixes of the albums, plus promotional videos.
Jethro Tull Under Wraps: The Unwrapped Edition will be released May 15 and is available for preorder now.
