Harry Styles Releases Surreal 'Kiwi' Music Video

(Radio.com) Harry Styles released his video for "Kiwi" this morning and it's an action-packed adventure set in a school. Child actors file into a gymnasium carrying baked goods, which are accumulated in a pile at the center of the room. From there, the scene descends into chaos as the little people argue and bicker over turf and sweets.

Ultimately, the room devolves into anarchy, as the kids hurl muffins and cupcakes at each other, hide behind chairs and turn the place into a war zone. A few minutes in, Harry makes an appearance with a cute puppy. When he opens the gymnasium door, dozens of dogs rush into the room and begin licking up the spoils of war.

Harry joins in the food fight chaos and at the end of the video he's depicted posing for a class photo alongside the child actors. Watch the surreal video for "Kiwi" here.

Keith Urban Streaming Brand New Song 'Female'

(Radio.com) Keith Urban has released a new track titled "Female." The song, Urban's first new music since the release of his 2016 album Ripcord, addresses about the way society perceives women and is especially relevant in an era of sexual harassment and rape reports being leveled against celebrities and corporate executives.

In the first verse Urban addresses female stereotypes: "When you hear somebody say somebody hits like a girl how does that hit you?/ Is that such a bad thing?/ When you hear a song that they play saying you run the world, Do you believe it? / Will you live to see it?"

Then, he addresses more serious issues surrounding sexual harassment: "When somebody laughs and implies that she asked for it just 'cause she was wearin' a skirt/ Aw, is that how that works?/ When somebody talks about 'It was Adam first', does that make you second best?/ Or did he save the best for last?" Check out the new song here.

Jeanne White, the mother of Ryan White, a teenager who became the poster child for HIV awareness during the 1980s, called Sir Elton her "guardian angel." She shared a story about when the legendary singer visited her son when he was sick and helped his family financially. Read more here.

Meek Mill Prison Sentence Reevaluation Petition Launched

(Radio.com) The fallout from Meek Mill's shocking prison continues, with a new petition circulating that calls for Pennsylvania's governor Tom Wolf to reevaluate the rapper's jail sentence.

"In regards to the harsh, undeserving sentencing of Robert Rihmeek Williams (Meek Mill), I felt the need to create a petition to reevaluate the charges, his impact in the community and the subsequent sentencing," the petition states.

"Moreover, the charges that led to his current violation, were subsequently dropped and the stiff sentence was handed down despite recommendations from his probation officer and the district attorney. His efforts to change his image while still remaining true to his artistry and who he is as a man went unnoticed as well."

The petition, entitled "Somebody Save Meek Mill," had generated close to 35,000 signatures at press time, just 17 hours after being launched. Read more here.

Like being a kid, having the dream of doing this, starting from square one, from outside looking in from without having nothing � to chasing this dream, and then all these years down the road of following this yellow brick road trying to get to where you're going, one day waking up and being like, 'Did it take me where I wanted to go?' This fantasy of, like, sex, drugs, & rock 'n' roll is kinda cliched, but it's cliched for a reason. It's dark."

Niall Horan Lands Wilhelmina Modeling Deal

(Radio.com) Move over, Maren Morris. You're not the only one on next year's Niall Horan tour with a major modeling contract. Horan has revealed that he too has signed on with the prestigious Wilhelmina modeling agency's celebrity division.

"Obviously, I'm into the fashion side of things," he told Vanity Fair. "I think it's part of our culture, and what we do, and my job. I just kind of like fashion in general. I wouldn't say I was a model. I'm far from that, but obviously Wilhelmina thinks different. It's gonna be fun to see what happens. Now that it's been put in front of me I'm just really excited about it to be honest."

Citing Bruce Springsteen, David Beckham and Ryan Gosling as his fashion heroes, Horan elaborated on his own style sense. "I've got a couple of different styles that I like," he shared. "If it was possible to transport easily I would wear a suit every single day I think. I love getting into a suit. I like a slick suit. Any chance that I get, not often, but any chance that I get to go to a red carpet, I kinda relish the fact that I might have to wear a suit or whatever, and get into the design of things. I would say I was pretty casual, but with a bit of a twist to it, and I sometimes can be quite folky and rootsy in what I wear. A lot of boots, and hats, and shirts. Yeah, quite basic, simple but effective type stuff." Read more here.

Adam Levine Helps Ellen DeGeneres Prank Food Delivery Man

"I'll taste the soup. It just needs to be very, very soft," Levine said. After sipping the French Onion soup, he said, "This is too hard," and became far more difficult and demanding from there.

Ultimately, the ruse was revealed, and Izzy ran onto the stage where Ellen rewarded him with a large tip. Watch the funny bit here.
