This One Direction Member Is the 'Antichrist Version' of Harry Styles - Showbiz Cheat Sheet

After One Direction went on hiatus, each of the former members of the group found success as solo artists. Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Niall Horan, and Louis Tomlinson have each created distinct musical identities for themselves. They often get asked their opinions of one another. One member of the group went so far as to call himself the “Antichrist version” of Styles. Here’s who made that provocative remark.

Liam Payne grew distant from Harry Styles

Payne was asked about Styles in an interview with The Face. He said “I was actually genuinely looking at some pictures of him the other day, and I just thought, ​“I don’t know what more I’d say to him other than, ​‘Hello’ and ​‘How are you?’.” 

He contrasted himself with Styles, remarking “I mean, look at the stuff I put out, and the stuff Harry puts out. Polar opposite. I’m like the Antichrist version of what Harry is.”

Payne feeling that Styles’ music is the antithesis of his own makes sense. Payne’s music exists entirely within the realm of modern pop. Meanwhile, Styles’ music takes inspiration from the rock music of the 1960s and 1970s.

It’s possible Payne was comparing Styles to Christ because of Styles’ upcoming album. Harper’s Bazaar reported on the art for Styles’ album, Fine Line. In one of the images, Styles strikes a pose oddly similar to that of Christ on the cross. Was the resemblance intentional? Was Styles trying to make a statement through the image?

What does Liam Payne think of Harry Style’s outfits?

In addition to his provocative album art, Styles has made headlines for his unique wardrobe. Styles is known for wearing bright colors and androgynous clothing. Styles discussed his view on fashion and gender in L’Officiel, opining “Many borders are falling—in fashion, but also in music, films, and art.” 

He added “I don’t think people are still looking for this gender differentiation. Even if the masculine and feminine exist, their limits are the subject of a game. We no longer need to be this or that.”

When Payne was asked about Style’s fashion, he said “Do you know what? For me, it’s a case of fair play to him for doing what he f*cking wants.”

Payne continued “If [Styles] wants to wear one earring and go to the Met Gala wearing something unexpected, what of it? Fair f*cking play. I couldn’t put myself in that. I’d look f*cking… It’d look weird.”

Which member of One Direction does Liam Payne want to talk to?

Payne was also asked which One Direction member he’d like to get the chance to talk to. He answered “To be honest with you, more than anyone, probably Harry. I speak to Louis quite regularly. I feel like I know where I stand with Niall. But with Harry, there’s so much mystery around who he’s kind of become.”

Get the first six Star Wars movies for the lowest price yet ahead of Rise of Skywalker - The Verge

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is just days away, bringing a promised end to the nine-episode Skywalker saga on December 20th. But if you want to catch up on the earlier movies, you can pick up digital copies of Episodes 1 through 6 for the lowest price they’ve ever been: $42.99 over at the Google Play Store for HD copies of all six films.

The deal is also available at iTunes for $49.99, should you prefer to buy through Apple, $48.99 over at Vudu, or $45.99 at the Microsoft Store (if you’ve got a gift card to one of those services lying around). The digital six-film collection usually runs for $89.99, making it a fantastic deal for anyone who wants to marathon some Star Wars films before the last movie comes out.

It doesn’t entirely matter which platform you buy it on, since the Star Wars movies are included as part of the Movies Anywhere service, which lets you sync purchased digital films across all eligible retailers. (Sadly, only the HD copies of the films are available to purchase: while 4K versions of the first six movies do exist, they’re exclusive to the Disney+ streaming service, which costs $6.99 per month.)

Want to round out your collection? Google Play has a sale on both the The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi for $8.99 each, down from the usual price of $19.99 (also in HD, although those movies are also available to purchase in 4K should you wish to pay more for $14.99 each at Vudu), which you can sync together with the other six films from the bundle through Movies Anywhere, too.

Danny Aiello, 'Do The Right Thing' star, dead at 86 - Fox News

Veteran film actor Danny Aiello, known for his roles in "Do The Right Thing" and "The Godfather Part II," has died. He was 86.

His literary agent told Fox News on Friday that the actor died Thursday night.

Per TMZ, who was first to report the news, the actor’s family said he died at a medical facility in New Jersey where he was being treated for a sudden illness. The outlet reports that he was dealing with an infection related to an injection site and died shortly after his family left following a visit.

COMEDIAN CHRIS COTTON DEAD AT 32

The veteran of stage and film got his big break in the early 1970s in the Robert De Niro-led baseball drama “Bang the Drum Slowly.” However, he is perhaps best known for his role as Sal the pizza guy in Spike Lee’s 1989 film “Do The Right Thing” for which he earned an Oscar nomination for best supporting actor.

Cinema fans may also recognize Aiello from his role in “The Godfather Part II,” where he played Tony Rosato, the man who uttered the now-famous line: “Michael Corleone says hello!"

His other credits include “Fort Apache the Bronx,” “Once Upon a Time in America,” “The Purple Rose of Cairo,” “Hudson Hawk” and “Moonstruck.”

He is survived by his wife, Sandy Cohen, and their three children. His son, Danny Aiello III, died in 2010.

Taylor Swift Calls Out Scooter Braun (and the Music Biz) in Billboard Woman of the Decade Speech - Vulture

Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech for Billboard’s Woman of the Decade award was a reckoning. After handing off her award to The Good Place’s Jameela Jamil, Swift used her platform to call out the music industry for its treatment of women in general, and her/Lana Del Rey in particular. “What does it mean to be a woman of this decade?” she asked. “Well, it means I’ve seen a lot.” Swift went on to say that she’s seen women’s success questioned “whether a male was really responsible in the studio… or whether it was a savvy record label.” She’s also seen Lana Del Rey “ruthlessly criticized early in her career,” only to become “in my opinion, the most influential artist in pop.”

Swift of course also used her stage time to highlight her ongoing struggle with Scooter Braun, the Carlyle Group et al. over her back catalogue. Swift specifically brought the fight to private equity buying intellectual property “like it’s a shoe line.” Swift also called out supporters of Braun, saying, “The definition of the toxic male privilege in our industry is people saying, ‘but he’s always been nice to me?’ when I’m raising valid concerns about artists to own their music. Of course he’s nice to you. If you’re in this room you have something he needs.”

'Star Wars': Did John Boyega Just Call Out Rose Actress Kelly Marie Tran? - Showbiz Cheat Sheet

Rose Tico is one of the most divisive characters in Star Wars. Played by Kelly Marie Tran, some found the character engaging while others felt she was pointless and dull. Sadly, Tran faced a huge, unwarranted backlash on social media because people didn’t like Rose. Tran’s co-star John Boyega recently made comments that some fans felt were an attack on Tran. Here’s what he had to say.

The disgusting attacks on Kelly Marie Tran

Many of the hurtful comments Tran received were directed at her race or appearance. According to The A.V. Club, Tran began to internalize these toxic messages because of the harassment she received, before ultimately rejecting them. After this backlash, she deleted her social media.

Fans are free to dislike Rose or any other Star Wars character. There is nothing wrong with expressing criticism of a movie or character online. However, this backlash clearly crossed the line into abuse very quickly. There’s no shame in Tran deleting her social media if that’s better for her emotional well-being.

John Boyega breaks silence

On Dec. 11, 2009, Vanity Fair mentioned the harassment to Boyega. He responded “Being in this position, you just understand the masses, how the masses think, you know. Through social media, we get to engage, we get to have fun.”

He continued, “But at the same time, for those who are not mentally strong, you are weak to believe in every single thing that you read. That’s, you know, it is what it is. I don’t know, for me anyway, when I see that [backlash], I’m like, well, that’s actually not true. But no, it is actually not true. So…it is what it is.”

Many fans were upset by these comments. Some felt Boyeaga was framing Tran as weak for deleting her social media. Others thought Boyega was framing Tran as the one with the problem, not her tormentors.

What was he trying to say?

Although Boyega was asked about Tran’s harassment before making his comments, he insists he was not referring to his co-star. On Dec. 12, 2019, he said “In no way was I referring to Kelly when I made my comments although the interviewer mentioned her given the topic. I was really speaking from my own perspective throughout this franchise.”

He added “Sometimes I’ve felt strong and sometimes I’ve felt weak. Badly worded though. I apologize.” Some fans accepted Boyega’s apology as sincere. Others felt he was definitely talking about Tran during this interview and thought his apology was phony.

Boyega’s comments are notable given he’s also been targeted on social media. Specifically, he’s been attacked for being a black man in the Star Wars franchise. He told The Guardian he’s “fine” with this.

“I’m grounded in who I am, and I am a confident black man. I wasn’t raised to fear people with a difference of opinion…To get into a serious dialogue with people who judge a person based on the melanin in their skin? They’re stupid, and I’m not going to lose sleep over people.”

Online harassment is one of the most horrid aspects of the internet era. Everyone gets to choose if social media is right for them. Hopefully, Tran’s decision has helped her to avoid any further distress.
