Harry Styles officially debuts his new buzz cut to mixed reaction
Harry Styles dropped jaws across the globe after shaving his signature hairstyle and opting for a buzz cut. Rumours surfaced when low-quality photos surfaced online, but now, his lifestyle brand Pleasing has dropped an official first look at his new hair. "Our Founder, Harry Styles, toasts the launch of Pleasing Fragrance with friends in London. November, 2023," the post read, along with the photo of the 'Watermelon Sugar' singer perched on a sofa. The comments section opened up the floodgates to a wide range of opinions, with one describing it as an "opinion piece" in itself. "Can't lie he still looks so fine," one fan wrote, while another joked: "Can’t wait to defend this at Thanksgiving dinner." One person described Styles' new look as serving "Prison Break realness." Meanwhile, one Instagrammer asked: "Where was the trigger warning?" Others took the opportunity to mourn his famous locks, with one diehard "sobbing in curly hair." "Put this man in timeout," another humoured. It comes after a painting of Harry Styles by David Hockney was put on display at the National Portrait Gallery earlier this month. Hockney, most known for his contribution to the pop art movement of the 1960s, shows Styles wearing an orange and red striped cardigan and blue jeans paired with a pearl necklace. The exhibition showcases Hockney's expansive career with more than 30 new portraits, including Hockney’s mother, the late Laura Hockney and his friend, fashion designer Celia Birtwell. The David Hockney: Drawing From Life exhibition will run until January 21 2024.

Swifties can set sail on a Taylor Swift-themed cruise
From the record-breaking Eras Tour to the re-recording release, it has been an exciting year to be a Taylor Swift fan - and now Swifties set sail on a themed cruise next year all about the singer. The aptly named "In My Cruise Era," trip from travel agency Marvellous Mouse Travels promises an unforgettable celebration of "all things Taylor," where fellow Swifties can "make new friends, dress up in our favourite eras, trade friendship bracelets, and enjoy everything this amazing ship has to offer." It added: "This cruise is for all fans, so bring your besties, your moms and dads, your baby fans, and if you need someone to room with, post on our page and ask.” (The cruise is not affiliated with Swift nor Taylor Alison Swift Rights Management Publishing (TASRM)). The five-night cruise sets sail on Oct 21, 2024 from Miami, Florida to Coco Cay — a private island owned by Royal Caribbean, Nassau in the Bahamas, then there's a day at sea as the cruise ship returns to Miami. Some of the events on the trip include a welcome cocktail party, friendship bracelet swapping (a tradition that began among Swifties at Eras Tour shows), themed dance and karaoke parties, Taylor Trivia and eras outfit themes for each night. A place onboard is pricey as the double occupancy rooms that remain available start at $1573 while an Oceanview will set you back $1967 (but this includes the room itself along with the refreshments and activities in the price).

Logan Paul left gobsmacked by pawnbroker's valuation for $500k gold Prime bottle
Logan Paul taking one of his '$500k' gold Prime bottles to a pawnbroker seemingly backfired, when the YouTuber was offered a mere $25,000 for the collectable. It was one of the bottles that was given away at the London and New York activations for the popular drink, with another being won by a young boy from the UK. However, Paul wasn't willing to accept $25,000 for the bottle, and immediately demanded the owner offer him $700,000. It wasn't meant to be, though, as after a lot of convincing, he was offered $50,000. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter

Will Smith considering legal action against friend who claims actor is gay
Will Smith's team has shut down claims that the actor is gay and was caught in a sex act with fellow Fresh Prince actor Duane Martin years back. The reps called the rumour "unequivocally false". Brother Bilaal claimed to be his former friend of 40 years to the star. He recently sat down with Tasha K with a string of claims aimed at Smith. At one point, he explicitly described what he allegedly saw in Martin's dressing room while working on a Hollywood set. Brother Bilaal said he was asked to keep his eye on Smith, but he was nowhere to be found. He said he had the keys to Martin's dressing room, where he allegedly discovered the pair in the act. "I see Duane having anal sex with Will," he claimed. "There was a couch and Will was bent over the couch and Duane was standing up killing him, murdering him. It was murder in there." "This story is completely fabricated and the claim is unequivocally false," Smith's rep told TMZ and that legal action is being considered against Bilaal. Brother Bilaal also went on to pass comment about Smith's manhood, calling it a "pinky toe". It comes after Jada Pinkett Smith dropped a bombshell that she and Will have not been together for seven years. They simply never divorced. Jada told Hoda Kotb on Today that she "made a promise that there will never be a reason for us to get a divorce" and that the pair will "work through whatever". "I just haven't been able to break that promise," she said. She went on to confirm that the pair also live separately, and when asked how the two maintained the arrangement, she responded: "I think just not being ready yet."

Kourtney Kardashian criticised for 'sexualising maternity photos' in Travis Barker tribute
Kourtney Kardashian has been harshly criticised for her latest Instagram tribute to husband Travis Barker. In the first upload since the birth of their son, Kardashian wished the Blink-182 drummer a happy birthday. "To my husband, my soulmate, my best friend, my lover, my daddy to our baby boy, my everything… I wish you the happiest birthday," she wrote. "You make all of my dreams come true and I feel so blessed to have you by my side. I love you beyond words, forever." The wholesome message was accompanied by a series of snaps of a heavily pregnant Kardashian posing with her husband. One photo saw Barker's hands covering the reality star's bare chest, while another showed his hand down her pants. The post was liked almost 3 million times and was flooded with over 15,000 comments. Some people did not hold back, blasting the images as "vulgar". One Instagrammer described the shoot as the "weirdest maternity pictures I have ever seen lol." Another reiterated: "These are types of pictures you just keep to yourself lol." Meanwhile, a third added: "Weird to sexualize maternity pictures but ok" Others simply let the couple live, and praised the love they share. "Yessssss Kourt keep p***ing these uptight people off… It’s great. Happy Birthday Travis," one fan wrote, while another added: "Awww what a beautiful and thoughtful post Kourtney. The chemistry between you and Travis is indescribable. You’ve both come so far and should be so proud." "Wow. To find a love like this is so delicate and precious. It seems like an eternity away," one user chimed in. How to join the indy100's free WhatsApp channel Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.

10 of the most unusual breakfast combos adults are most likely to try
The dilemma over what to have for breakfast has been solved - with a Full English waffle. Known as the ‘British Breakfast Waffle Trio’, the traditionally-sweet favourite has been infused with flavours of the classic Full English, with a range of batters including black pudding and bacon, tomato and mushroom, and Cumberland sausage with orange zest. Topping options include an English tea whip, orange marmalade drizzle, baked bean-infused whipped cream, black coffee syrup, and crispy hash crumble. The waffle was created by the hotel brand Hampton by Hilton, after research of 2,000 adults found three in 10 claim to be more experimental with their morning meals, with 59 per cent open to trying unusual food combos. Pauline Wilson, vice president, focused service operations, EMEA, Hilton, said: “With more than half of Brits being more experimental with their morning meals at hotels we’re excited to offer our guests the British Breakfast Waffle Trio - a loving tribute to the iconic traditional fry-up.” The study found Londoners take the title for being the most daring (53 per cent) at breakfast time, while the Welsh (77 per cent) and those in the East of England (77 per cent) admit to lacking in the creative department for the first meal of the day. It also emerged 61 per cent will usually eat the same thing every day at home, but 51 per cent claim to be more experimental when they are away. A fifth of those polled will eat a traditional fry up at least once a week, with 52 per cent opting for savoury over sweet, but 37 per cent enjoy the two flavours equally. The research, carried out via OnePoll, also revealed cooking websites are the most popular resource for ‘foodspiration’ (22 per cent), with the same percentage turning to family and friends for ideas. It emerged a fifth enjoy watching TV programmes to inspire their cooking choices - more than those who use social media platforms (nine per cent) such as Instagram (13 per cent), YouTube (13 per cent) and TikTok (eight per cent). The British Breakfast Waffle Trio is available on December 1 when staying at select Hampton by Hilton hotels, including London City, Bath City, York Piccadilly and Edinburgh West End. Pauline Wilson added: “We hope this innovative waffle flavour combination satisfies the nation’s craving to try something new for their morning meal.” Here are some of the most unusual combos adults are most likely to try: 1. French toast and maple syrup 2. English Breakfast Waffles 3. Honey and peanut butter on toast 4. Avocado and honey on toast 5. Honey and cheese toast 6. Salt and porridge 7. Marmite and peanut butter on toast 8. Baked beans on croissants 9. Peanut butter and bacon 10.

Logan Paul admits that he almost killed Rey Mysterio during recent WWE match
Logan Paul has confessed that him seemingly 'saving' Rey Mysterio's life during their recent WWE match was actually because he was at fault for the incident in the first place. Coming clean on Impaulsive, Paul admitted that his own mistake caused the fall which saw Mysterio almost land on his neck, so he had no choice but to step in. "I think I was too far back for the move and I think he didn’t clear enough ground for the move," he said. "So like truthfully while I like the headlines and I like being gassed up like this, I was just doing my job.” Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter
