File Photo by Jim Ruymen/UPI | License Photo June 20 (UPI) -- Pop star and Wicked actress Ariana Grande released a music video for her song "Twilight Zone," along with an a cappella version of the track Friday. The music video begins with the elderly Grande from her Brighter Days Ahead short film watching a video of her younger self wake up. "Did I dream the whole thing? Was I just a nightmare?" she sings as she awakens. Grande takes in her ransacked surroundings and walks downstairs to find the area flooded. The video appears to be a prequel to the "Supernatural" video, released in May, which shows her leaving the home and walking through a ravaged residential area before being beamed up into an alien spacecraft. The a cappella version of her song was met with love from her fans. "Her voice is so unbelievably beautiful and soothing," one fan commented. "Her vocals are angelic." Grande released the deluxe version of her Eternal Sunshine album on March 28. Ariana Grande turns 30: a look back

Scooter Hobbs column: Tigers add to list of walk-offs
OMAHA, Neb. — Don't blame yourselves, Razorbacks. It happens to the best of them. It's not you. It's LSU. Arkansas just happened to get caught up in another of those wild and crazy vortexes the Tigers sometimes create in what they've come to call Geauxmaha. Don't dissect it too closely. When LSU gets the College World Series karma going, it makes a habit of dangling the irrational out there, toying with the unexplainable. It happened again Wednesday night, of course, a rally with three nutty runs in the bottom of the ninth for a 6-5 walk-off victory over the Hogs. Two hits that inexplicably found grass — one off a stumbling Razorbacks' shoulder for a tying double, another off the tip top of a leaping second baseman's glove — oh, so close — for the walk-off single. The Hogs probably deserve better. Even LSU head Jay Johnson expressed empathy in the midst of LSU's wild celebration, which seemed to be an embarrassed shrug of the shoulders as if to say, 'Don't ask us how we do it.' The Razorbacks are as cursed in Omaha as LSU is often blessed, and will remain college baseball's absolute best program without a national championship. They'll put this one alongside the dropped pop foul when they were one out from the 2018 national championship. LSU won't apologize for it. The Tigers can't even explain it. They'll just play for their eighth national championship beginning Saturday. 'Character,' Johnson offered. Nice try, coach, although his team does seem classy enough, a likeable bunch to boot. Arkansas seemed to be of similar composition — often answering to the tag 'most complete team in the nation.' So, no, this was something more. Wednesday was the LSU program's sixth all-time walkoff in the CWS. Some of them had similar drama, but none were quite as bizarre as this one. 'I'm at a loss for words,' Johnson said. I'll give it a shot. When LSU gets in this mode, some divine, horsehide intervention seems to be at work. The Razorbacks just happened to be in the way. There were unconfirmed reports of Rod Serling standing serious off in the shadows of Charles Schwab Field. As the bottom of the ninth unfolded, you could almost hear that creepy 'Twilight Zone' music wafting about. Whether they knew it or not, the Razorbacks, unsuspecting or not, were in trouble. Sure, LSU put the bat on the ball for the clutch hits, but it needed help from the Hogs. No problem. Arkansas may even accuse the Tigers of bringing up some of that alleged Louisiana voodoo north for their latest. Was that Marie Laveau in the LSU dugout? Something turned a tight, well-played game into two final innings of total chaos, which, of course was right in LSU's wheelhouse. Something maybe we will never fully understand and maybe shouldn't try. It's Omaha, after all. If blessing the Tigers isn't enough, maybe voodoo casts a spell on the victims. For all the LSU clutch hits and pitching, this one is likely to be remembered more for Arkansas left fielder Charles Davalan tripping or slipping — something ill-timed, at any rate — to turn what could have been a game-ending out into a game-tying double. And could second baseman Cam Kozeal have been any closer to snagging Jared Jones' winning single that bounced off the top of his glove? He could probably feel the ball's seams through his glove — and then it was bouncing into center field. Neither was an error. Just unfortunate. Bad luck. Whatever forces were at work, it all lined up for LSU, which would have had to play the Razorbacks again Thursday with a loss. 'It's a huge deal not to have to play (Thursday),' Johnson said after the game. 'There is nobody happier in the city of Omaha that there will not be a game here (Thursday) than Jay Johnson right now.' It does set up perfectly for the Tigers, as if they need such niceties. An extra game would have meant bringing back one of their co-aces, Kade Anderson or Anthony Eyanson, burning whichever one for the championship series. Now the Tigers can go into the championship round against upstart Coastal Carolina with their regular weekend rotation intact, starting with the best 1-2 punch in college baseball. You can't ask for much more. But just a warning to the Chanticleers. If things go awry for the Tigers this weekend, beware. They apparently have Rod Serling on speed dial. — Scooter Hobbs covers LSU athletics. Email him at

Return to Silent Hill is coming to theaters next January
The third Silent Hill movie is still heading to theaters. According to Deadline , Return to Silent Hill will premiere on January 23, 2026. The film is directed by Christophe Gans, who also helmed the original 2006 adaptation. Return to Silent Hill is based on the 2001 game Silent Hill 2 . (Bloober Team's 2024 remake was one of our favorite games of the year.) The movie adaptation stars Jeremy Irvine and Hannah Emily Anderson. Akira Yamaoka, the game franchise's original composer, handles the score. Like the game it's based on, the film's protagonist is James Sunderland (Irvine). After a crushing breakup with Mary (Anderson), James lives up to the billing and… returns to Silent Hill. What he finds is a town transformed by a mysterious evil. As James searches for Mary, he faces terrifying creatures and unravels the truth. Psychological horror commences. In 2022, Gans told IGN that it's "totally independent" from the last two films. "Silent Hill is a bit like Twilight Zone, the Fourth Dimension, a place where anything and everything can happen," he said. In an interview with Le Point , Gans added that he wrote the screenplay during pandemic lockdowns. "I shot it in early 2023," he said (translated from French). "The film was supposed to be finalized in April 2024, but because of the executive producers, it dragged on, and I finished it last January." (Shots fired.) The movie doesn't yet have a full theatrical trailer. But you can check out its 2022 teaser trailer below. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings.

Billionaire trader Paul Tudor Jones warns AI could trigger mass unemployment — and revolutionize education
Paul Tudor Jones warned AI could cause mass unemployment and even threaten the human race. The billionaire trader said the technology has great potential but poses risks for safety and stability. AI could help equalize education, Jones said, adding that it ought to be regulated. Artificial intelligence promises to solve some of the world's thorniest problems — but it could also spark mass unemployment and even eradicate the human race, Paul Tudor Jones warned. "This is obviously the most disruptive technology in the history of mankind," the billionaire trader told "Bloomberg Open Interest" on Wednesday. The Tudor Investment Corporation founder turned to a decades-old sci-fi series to explain the existential threat posed by AI. "There was a great 'Twilight Zone' episode where aliens came down to Earth and they hand this book, it says 'To Serve Man,' Jones said. "And everyone goes, 'Hooray! They're going to save humanity, it's a humanitarian guide.' And it turns out to be a cookbook." "The downside of AI is that we've been served," he added, pointing to Tesla CEO Elon Musk warning on a February podcast that there's a 20% chance of AI wiping out humanity. That risk should "set off alarm bells throughout the world," Jones continued. He also highlighted Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's suggestion that US unemployment could surge from around 4% to between 10% and 20% within the next five years as AI displaces legions of white-collar workers. Jones called that a "massive stability issue" on top of safety concerns about the nascent tech. AI is already reshaping industries such as law, consulting, banking, and the media by automating tasks and producing faster and better work than humans in some cases. Jones singled out education as one area where AI could be a force for good. The advent of virtual tutors who can help students with any subject should mean there's "no excuse for a low-income kid not to have the greatest education." He cautioned that Trump's proposed "One Big Beautiful Bill" includes a "moratorium on AI regulation" that could allow the risks it poses to become reality.
