Harry Styles‘ chaotic new music video takes a page from Katy Perry‘s “Bon Appétit” and The Little Mermaid. In it, he is a fish out of water — literally — and everyone wants to eat him.
Harry released the visual for “Music For a Sushi Restaurant” on Thursday, which depicts him as a half-squid and thickly-bearded merman that was washed ashore and into the clutches of three men who catch and serve seafood for a living.
The humans drag him back to their kitchen and pose for a trophy photo with Harry before tossing him onto a metal table. The singer watches in horror as his captors begin preparing various sea creatures for consumption — knowing full well that he’s next.
Harry escapes his fate by using his siren song to turn the men into his slaves. The three fall into a trance and begin happily tending to all of Harry’s needs — from massaging his tentacles to feeding him whole fish.
Harry is then revealed to be a huge diva, but his reign of terror is short lived. After turning the fishery into a music venue, he loses his singing voice and his hold over the three men.
He is then dragged back into the kitchen and cut up into little bits to be served at the newly rebranded sushi bar.
“Music For a Sushi” restaurant is the latest single off the Harry’s House album to get the music video treatment following “As It Was” and “Late Night Talking.”
“I’m a Mess” follows Lavigne’s album Love Sux, which dropped in February. It includes collaborations with Machine Gun Kelly, Blink-182‘s Mark Hoppus and blackbear.
Yungblud, meanwhile, just dropped his new, self-titled album in September.

Two months before the debut of the Whitney Houston biopic I Wanna Dance With Somebody, the late singer’s estate is honoring her memory with a new fragrance.
The Whitney Houston Signature Fragrance is “inspired by Whitney’s most beloved scents,” Pat Houston, head of the Whitney Houston estate, tells Essence. “It’s a wonderful combination of fruity sparkling florals with the warm and woody dry down in this tall, elegant bottle,” she says.
The fragrance is now available online through the Home Shopping Network and will arrive on Scent Beauty’s website in November. An exclusive holiday gift set will also be launched at Walmart early November.
“I would tell anyone to wear Whitney Houston is to feel inspired and confident like Whitney,” Houston continues. “And she always loved to encourage women to embrace love within themselves, always. I’m hopeful that when people, women, and when men buy it for their mothers or wives or sisters or whatever, actually they know they’re actually favoring one of Whitney’s favorite things: just loving yourself. Her favorite song was ‘The Greatest Love Of All.’ And I always will attribute that line to this Scent Beauty product, her fragrance, Whitney, with her famous signature on the bottle.”
As previously reported, the iconic singer’s movie debut, The Bodyguard, will return to theaters on Sunday, November 6 and Wednesday, November 9 to celebrate its 30th anniversary. The special screenings will also include Whitney’s videos for two songs from the soundtrack — “Queen of the Night” and “I Will Always Love You” — immediately following the film. Tickets are available via TheBodyguard30.com.
To go along with the 30th anniversary, a vinyl version of The Bodyguard soundtrack will arrive November 18, available exclusively at Target.
The I Wanna Dance With Somebody biopic hits theaters December 21.

(NEW YORK) — In 1937, American explorer Bradford Washburn abandoned a cache of heavy equipment, including cameras, while attempting to climb Mount Lucania in the Saint Elias Mountains of northwestern Canada.
Washburn and his friend Bob Bates had to make their way back to civilization through the harsh Yukon wilderness when the weather made it unsafe for a pilot to pick them up, as chronicled in Escape from Lucania, a book by David Roberts.
Two sentences of that book stuck in the mind of professional skier Griffin Post: According to Roberts, Washburn was heartbroken to leave behind his cameras and always wanted to go back to get them.
So Post set out to do it for him, 15 years after his death — and 85 years after the equipment was abandoned.
He got in touch with Luke Copland, a glaciologist at the University of Ottawa, to help figure out where Washburn’s equipment may have ended up. It had been left on Walsh Glacier, and glaciers move, so Washburn’s notes about where he was were no longer directly useful.
That’s how Dora Medrzycka, who just earned a Ph.D. in physical geography with a specialization in glaciology with Copland as her supervisor, got involved.
Washburn is legendary in the mountaineering community for both his adventures and his research. His documentation of mountains has been used to build maps and routes that climbers still use to this day — so the images he would have gotten in 1937 could prove useful for research almost a century later to see just how much the landscape changed.
Copland and Medrzycka provided an estimate of where the glacier probably moved, and Medrzycka joined Post and a group, including a crew from Teton Gravity Research, to search.
The group adventured out to the mountains in late spring 2022, when the snow would be safer to ski on, but was unsuccessful in locating anything.
“But the information we got helped us kind of reassess the estimation of where the cache had moved to,” Post told ABC News.
They went back out again in August but were getting discouraged, as they weren’t finding the cache where they thought it would be.
“I was not only disappointed, but I pretty much knew that I was letting everybody down,” Medrzycka told ABC News. “Because technically, I was the one that was supposed to have the knowledge to figure out where it was. So I definitely felt like I had failed everyone, and that responsibility was pretty, pretty hard to bear.”
But she had a theory. Looking out at the field, she saw what looked like a break in the medial moraine, a line of debris that forms on a glacier’s surface. Medrzycka looked at a satellite image and could clearly see two places where that happened.
This is where it gets a little technical. Glaciers move, and sometimes they surge, moving very fast. It’s not clear why that happens, but it does, according to Medrzycka. The glaciologists knew the Walsh Glacier had surged twice since the 1930s, and Medrzycka theorized that the breaks in the moraine happened when a surge happened, so she calculated how far the glacier probably moved using the break points she could see as markers.
Following Medrzycka’s theory, they spotted something on the last day of the trip — just where she predicted it would be.
The group found several items sitting on the surface that were obviously Washburn’s, including goggles and fuel canisters, but it was farther down the glacier than they’d expected. Now, Post had a theory: The treasure Washburn left was abandoned at their base camp; were these scattered items just gear Washburn and Bates left at a camp higher up on the mountain?
They traveled a little farther and sure enough, found the full cache. Post, who had been preparing to come home empty-handed, said it was “so surreal.”
“For all the work that went into it and knowing all along that it was just a guess, and all that doubt that you had from others and yourself, to overcome that and be like, ‘Yeah, my gut was right. This was possible. This was here’ — it was just such a special moment to share with the crew and be with those people in that landscape and come back successful after essentially stealing victory from the jaws of defeat,” he said.
“When we did find it, man, that was priceless,” Medrzycka said. “I’ll never forget that moment.”
The equipment is now with Parks Canada, which was also involved in the venture, as they work to preserve it and see if it’s possible to retrieve any of Washburn’s footage.
Finding the location of the cache is already a gain for glaciology research. Before this, there was little data on this glacier movement from before the 1960s, so knowing how far Washburn’s cache moved from 1937 until now adds decades of information, Medrzycka said. That information can also be used to predict possible future movement or changes in the glacier.
Post was struck by how much the area had clearly changed since Washburn was there. There are some images from Washburn’s expedition they were using to try to figure out where things were. But it wasn’t lining up with what they saw, Post said.
“All of a sudden being there, you realize that maybe 100 or 200 vertical feet of ice has essentially disappeared,” he said. “And so the baseline or all the bottom of the photos, it’s just this new terrain that wasn’t visible before because it was under all of this ice.”
Arctic sea ice, as of September, is shrinking by 12.6% each decade, according to NASA, which points to that as evidence of rapid climate change.
“Everything that happens in the south doesn’t just stay in the south,” Medrzycka said. “And whatever happens in the Arctic or in high mountain environments doesn’t just stay there. So whatever activities we have in the south, whatever emissions, the pollution that we’re creating, all that does have an impact on the glaciers even if they are very far from us.”
The Arctic is heating up twice as fast as the rest of the world, according to a 2021 report released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and threatens the rest of the world with impacts like rising sea levels.
For Post and Medrzycka, this expedition was significant as an outdoors adventure, a research trove — and a combination of science and athleticism to succeed.
“We don’t usually operate around the same circles, but once we found each other on the ice surface, we all belong there, right?” Medrzycka said. “This is exactly our element, this is where we feel comfortable and really shows we’re all linked by our love of the mountains and of the glaciers.”
Keith Urban is making CMA Awards day a little bit extra-special this year.
The country superstar revealed on Thursday that he’s planning a performance on Good Morning America that morning, which is November 9. He’ll perform outside Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena — which is where the CMAs are set to be held — with a set that will air on GMA.
The best part? It’s a completely free show. If you want to watch Keith play, you need to request your tickets ahead of time, and show up for the performance at 5:00 a.m. local time.
Keith has a long history with the CMAs: He’s a 13-time award recipient at the awards show, and he won his first trophy back in 2001. He even won the night’s highest honor, Entertainer of the Year, twice: Once in 2005, and once in 2018.
The CMA Awards will air live from Bridgestone Arena on ABC on November 9. Luke Bryan is co-hosting the show with NFL legend Peyton Manning.
Lady Gaga is $112 million dollars richer thanks to her Chromatica Ball Tour.
Billboard crunched the numbers from Gaga’s successful trek and found fans snatched up 834,000 tickets to see her perform live. The outlet notes ticket sales officially launched 30 months ago, but the pandemic forced Gaga to push her tour back twice.
The postponements didn’t appear to dent her numbers. The Chromatica Ball actually set a few local records, including setting the highest-grossing show at San Francisco’s Oracle Park — a $7.4 million haul. She also set an attendance record at Boston’s Fenway Park after 18,267 fans showed up. She set both the attendance and overall gross record at Wrigley Field in Chicago after 43,019 fans arrived and ticket sales totaled $6.9 million.
The Chromatica Ball was Gaga’s first all-stadium tour and interestingly is one of her shorter tours, with just 20 stops. Despite the shorter trek, it outperformed both The Born This Way Ball (98 shows) and The Joanne Ball (49 stops) in attendance and revenue, respectively.
For the record, Born This Way averaged a total of 18,400 ticket sales per stop, while Joanne averaged $1.9 million — compared to Chromatica’s 41,700 ticket sales per night and $5.6 million average in nightly revenue.
Overall, this marks Gaga’s highest-grossing tour in about 10 years and her third overall to make over $100 million, joining The Monster Ball and The Born This Way Ball.
Crunching the numbers of all her tour revenue and fan attendance combined, Gaga’s tours have earned $689.5 million and have been seen by 6.3 million fans.
