Harry Styles

HARRY STYLES IS DOING WHAT ELVIS DID

When it comes to his on-stage costumes, Harry Styles has turned to the late Elvis Presley for inspiration, which explains his penchant for glitzy jumpsuits etc. Just like Elvis, Harry is meticulously storing all of his flamboyant costumes, including his sequined jumpsuits and feather boas,  since he figures one day they will be worth a fortune. Harry might be ON to something – a few years back Elvis’s white jumpsuit and matching cape sold for over a million dollars! Harry documents everything he wears, and then it’s stored in a climate controlled, cedar lined facility. A friend explains that he insists on keeping all of the clothes he wears in stage, to events, AND in his movies, so he’s already amassed QUITE a collection!

HARRY STYLES LIKES TARGET TOO!

Harry Styles is no stranger to fashion – his recent capsule collection collaboration with Gucci was a huge hit. Now he’s planning to launch something more accessible to his fans. Harry has done pop-up stores in the past and while they were successful, they didn’t reach the masses since the majority of his fans never had the chance to shop. He’s been working on a line of unisex clothing and accessories and Target is front runner for the collaboration. The only sticking point is that while Harry likes the idea that there are so many Targets across the US, he also wants to reach his global fans. So he’s hoping to work out a deal where Target sells the collection in America and other retailers handle the rest of the world.

PEOPLE MAGAZINE GOT IT ALL WRONG

After missing several of his fifteen LA shows due to the flu, Harry Styles returned to the stage last night to the shrieking delight of his droves of rapturous fans. We cannot remember the last time a hot young singer caused such mayhem – especially one who seems to be a really nice guy. Which brings up the subject of People magazine. When they announced their chosen Sexiest Man Alive for this year, Marvel leading man Chris Evans, the reaction was minimal. Sure he’s cute, but, really? Harry Styles would have been a logical choice – this has been an amazing year for him in acting, record sales, and he sold more concert tickets last year than ANYONE else!
So why Chris Evans?

HARRY STYLES IS NO SNOB WHEN IT COMES TO MAGAZINE COVERS

We admit we might not have noticed that Harry Styles, 26, was on the cover of Better Homes & Gardens this month if we hadn’t perused Roger Friedman’s Showbiz 411. Harry’s the coverboy for the magazine’s online version, probably because he just released his new album called Harry’s House. The magazine interviewed Harry but they never got to see his house – if he HAS one. He talked about his reputation as a likable nice guy and the fact that he feels “lucky every day.” (Not ONE word about Olivia Wilde) We liked his ex-group One Direction, but always had a weakness or preference for the super good-looking Zayn Malik, who turned out to be a big disappointment. Harry has that great personality and sense of fun that’s irresistible – even when he’s wearing a dress! What other popstar would get a kick out of being on the cover of Better Homes & Gardens?

BIG SEAN’S FANS ALMOST OUTNUMBERED HARRY STYLES’ AT COACHELLA

It was noted that Big Sean’s crowd at Coachella rivaled that of Harry Styles, and the rapper joked “Except Harry got paid way way way more!” Sean’s longtime girlfriend, singer Jhene Aiko joined him onstage singing “I know.” They’ve been together since 2016, and were friends long before then. The couple went to the Neon Carnival after the show and Jhene wore this suitably outrageous outfit. Most of the girls at the party were VERY scantily clad – many in see-thru- and they spent the night partying and shivering in the cold night air… until 4 AM

HARRY STYLES WILL HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR

It turns out that Harry Styles is not a bad guy to have for a boyfriend. You recall, Harry and Olivia Wilde met last year on the set of Don’t Worry Darling– she directed and he starred in the film. The romance went public in January and Harry’s devoted fans went berserk, saying awful things about ten-years-older Olivia online. To her credit, Olivia didn’t let it bother her – she “doesn’t care what online strangers think!” Flash forward – Harry is headlining the Beach Bash in Miami on December 30. The promoter offered him over a million dollars to stay ONE more day and perform the NEXT night (New Year’s Eve) – a truly tempting gig! But Harry turned it DOWN! He already has plans to fly to LA and see Olivia…

HARRY STYLES IS A POLICEMAN LIVING DANGEROUSLY

While handsome Zayn Malik is trying hard NOT to get attention, his former One Direction bandmate Harry Styles is becoming a real movie star. One Direction broke up when Zayn left in 2015, and Harry went on to great success as a solo artist and also racked up four feature films. He finished My Policeman this summer and the story is fascinating. Harry plays a police officer in the 50’s who is happily in love with his girlfriend UNTIL the couple meets another man, who falls in love with Harry’s character. Harry has feelings for him too, and the threesome end up living together (remember, homosexuality was illegal in those days) – until jealousy breaks them up. Fast forward to the 90’s and the “other man” re-enters the lives of the now married couple with serious consequences. Harry looks adorable in 50’s hair and clothing…

BOY GEORGE: THE ROLE OF A LIFETIME?

Unlike SOME people, Boy George is not complaining about a new biopic called Karma Chameleon being made about his life. He says “I want it to be honest and truthful – and hilarious!” The movie will document George O’Dowd’s rise from small town boy to flamboyant rockstar, and it WILL include his 4 month prison term in 2009 for falsely imprisoning a male escort. First the film was delayed by Covid, and now it’s being held up because they haven’t cast someone to play George. George jokes that Harry Styles was “too scared” to take the role, but Yungblud and Adam Lambert have not been ruled out. George is now 60 years old – can you believe it?

WHAT’S DIFFERENT ABOUT HARRY STYLES?

It wasn’t Harry Styles’ colorful suit that had fans buzzing after he appeared at the BRIT Awards 2021. They weren’t even surprised when he arrived on the red carpet carrying a designer handbag that matched the suit! The audience went bonkers when Harry spoke with an American accent! He recently finished filming the 1950’s drama Don’t Worry Darling (he plays a suburban husband with a “dark secret”) with his American girlfriend Olivia Wilde directing, and some of the US accent is still hanging on…

WHO FEELS WORSE: BRIAN AUSTIN GREEN OR JASON SUDEIKIS?

It’s NOT easy to decide which jilted man is more distraught since his woman very publicly left him for another guy: Jason Sudeikis or Brian Austin Green. Besides probably being heartbroken, both Brian and Jason have had to endure their exes praising their new mates to the skies! Certainly Brian flinched when his ex Megan Fox described her new love Machine Gun Kelly as an “achingly beautiful boy” and went on to says he was “unusually handsome, ethereal, dangerous, and a creative genius.” She rated Kelly’s SNL appearance as “The best performance that show has ever seen.” Director Olivia Wilde cannot stop raving about HER new leading man Harry Styles, either – she’s astonished by his lack of sexism and praised him for his lack of ego in playing a supporting role in a female led film. She said “He blew us away with his talent and warmth.” Both women seem to be revealing what was LACKING in their previous partners. Ouch, that must hurt.
