Nov 16 2023 Share

Harry Styles, the 29-year-old “Golden” singer, revealed a striking new look that left some fans displeased. The Pleasing beauty brand, founded by Styles, shared a photo on Instagram showcasing his freshly shorn hairstyle during the launch of Pleasing Fragrance in London in November 2023.

The caption, “Our Founder, Harry Styles, toasts the launch of Pleasing Fragrance with friends in London. November 2023,” accompanied the image, with comments promptly disabled. 

Fans, despite their inability to comment, expressed mixed reactions to Styles’ bold transformation. 

Some were taken aback, with one person tweeting, “I’m literally shaking, please delete this,” and another suggesting he resembled a character from a “Fast and Furious” movie.

Critics demanded him to “Unshave it,” and someone humorously remarked that Styles’ Pleasing sweater appeared to be “made out of the hair he shaved off.” 

On the other hand, some supporters welcomed the change, noting how Styles went from looking like a kid to an “uncle” and appreciating his entirely different yet cool appearance.

This isn’t the first time Styles has experimented with his hair, as fans caught a glimpse of his shaved head at a recent U2 concert. 

While some fans expressed dismay, others speculated that this dramatic change might be a temporary shift before his 30th birthday in February. Styles, a former One Direction member, has sported various hairstyles over the years, from shoulder-grazing curls to short and floppy locks. As fans ponder the significance of his latest transformation, it remains to be seen if Styles is simply embracing a new look for the upcoming year.

Drake and J. Cole engaged in a friendly competition featuring chess, table tennis, and basketball in the recently released music video for “First Person Shooter.” 

The video, unveiled on Wednesday, showcased the biracial hip-hop stars recreating a renowned image of soccer icons Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo playing chess, captured by Annie Leibovitz a year ago during their Louis Vuitton collaboration.

This collaboration produced a US Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit, featured in Drake’s eighth studio album, “For All the Dogs,” released on October 6. J. Cole achieved his first No. 1 hit, while Drake’s 13th matched him with the late Michael Jackson for the most solo number-one songs by a male artist. 

In a nod to the King of Pop, Drake wore a silver-sequin glove and socks with black loafers.

The five-minute CG-filled music video, directed by Gibson Hazard, pays homage to Drake’s son Adonis Mahbed Graham through the album cover drawn by the five-year-old. 

The video, already nearing half a million views on YouTube, features a cameo by Brian Baumgartner of “The Office.”

Beginning with Baumgartner managing an office of dummies while playing a game on his computer, the video transitions to Drake and J. Cole playing ping pong before a magical transformation into a stadium. 

Dressed as Spider-Man, the Grammy-winning artists showcase their ping pong and basketball skills, with Drake’s cosmic basketball shot landing in Scotiabank Arena.

Malta-led Israel & Gaza Resolution Adopted By UN Security Council

Malta-led Israel & Gaza Resolution Adopted By UN Security Council
Nov 16 2023 Share

The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) adopted a resolution on Wednesday, drafted by Malta, urging “extended humanitarian pauses” in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. 

The resolution received 12 votes in favor, three abstentions (USA, UK, and Russia), and no votes against. Notably, it marks the first resolution on the conflict passed by the UNSC after four failed attempts. The resolution calls for the release of hostages, particularly children held by Hamas, and urges an urgent days-long ceasefire for humanitarian aid entry into Gaza. 

It emphasises the evacuation of the sick and injured and calls for refraining from depriving Gazans of basic services. Despite Malta’s call for a ceasefire, the resolution uses the term “extended humanitarian pauses and corridors” to allow aid, repairs, and evacuations.

The careful wording reflects the divided UNSC perspectives on the Israeli-Palestinian issue, with Russia and China on one side and the United States on the other. The US opposed the term “ceasefire,” opting for terms like “truce” or “pause.” 

Malta’s ambassador, Vanessa Frazier, called it an “important first step,” emphasising the shared desire among council members to save lives.

While the US and UK abstained, expressing support for the resolution’s purposes, Russia cited deficiencies and the absence of an immediate ceasefire in its abstention. 

The Palestinian representative criticized the resolution for not explicitly calling for a ceasefire, while Israel deemed it “detached from reality.”

Frazier, drawing on her experience aiding refugees from Libya, thanked Malta for trust and acknowledged the UNSC’s delayed response. She expressed disappointment at Israel’s swift dismissal, emphasizing the resolution’s binding nature.

The next step involves the UN Secretary-General reporting on resolution implementation. Despite Malta’s constitutional neutrality, its stance has shifted during the conflict. 

Minister Borg previously called for a ceasefire, and Prime Minister Abela underscored Israel’s right to defend itself but condemned civilian casualties. The resolution aims to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where hospitals like Al Shifa face attacks, with Israel claiming a Hamas headquarters beneath.
