If you’re anything like us, we see an interesting headline during our daily scroll—pause to read it—but then keep scrolling without reading the actual story. So at the end of each week, we’re rounding up all the buzziest, news-worthy headlines you might have missed. Think of it like the “saved” feature on Instagram but for news instead of aesthetically pleasing photos. Charli XCX’s departure from Brat, Hilary Duff’s return to music, and Role Model is finally deemed sexy —this is what you missed.

Charli XCX Teases Her First Song From Wuthering Heights Soundtrack
Brat goes Victorian?! Charli XCX took to her Instagram this week to tease the first song from her upcoming album for Emerald Fennel’s adaptation of Wuthering Heights. Titled “House,” the track features The Velvet Underground founding member John Cale. Charli shared a message on her Instagram story, saying “After being in the depths of my previous album I was excited to escape into something entirely new, entirely opposite.” She goes on to detail her love for The Velvet Underground and Cale’s influence on the track. “House” is out November 10th and we’ll most definitely be tuning in.

Hilary Duff is Back With New Music
This is what dreams are made of: after nearly 10 years, Hilary Duff has officially made her long-awaited return to music. Her aptly titled new single “Mature” reflects on both past and present versions of Hilary. In a statement she shared in the track “The two of us are reflecting on a past experience and sending love to each other.” She went on to share that “It’s a chuckle, a wink, and a sense of being grateful that we are sure footed in where we landed.” The track marks a new era—or Metamorphosis if you will—for Hilary and we’re so here for it.

Role Model Receives His Most Sought After Award At Last
GRAMMYs? VMAs? Not important to Role Model. The singer has been after one particular award since he was nominated last year: PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive. When he first made the shortlist, he campaigned hard—printing merch, buying billboards, even recruiting Gracie Abrams for moral support. Sadly, he lost to Harry Styles. But good things come to those who wait: this year, Role Model has been crowned PEOPLE’s inaugural Sexiest Man Alive centerfold. Some dream of a record deal—others just want validation, and with Sallys all over the world falling at his feet, Role Model is getting it.

Katy Perry drops emotional new single & video “Bandaids”
Katy Perry is officially in her heartbreak era. Her new single “Bandaids” just dropped, marking her first solo release of 2025—and it’s equal parts emotional and cinematic. In the music video, Katy escapes fiery crashes and floods while singing about patching herself back up after love gone wrong. Between the metaphors (and a suspiciously symbolic ring swirling down a drain), fans are already dissecting every frame. Heartbreak has never looked this glamorous.
