Watch: Lisa says goodbye to Kentaro Sakaguchi in 'Dream' short film
Aug. 14 (UPI) -- Lalisa Manobal, better known as K-pop superstar Lisa, is back with a new music video. The Thai singer and actress, 28, released the official short film for "Dream" featuring Japanese actor Kentaro Sakaguchi on Thursday. Lisa portrays a grieving widow in the music video, which opens with a funeral service for her fictional husband (Sakaguchi). She reflects on moments they shared together as she sings "I know a place where we can be us. I know it ain't real, but it's real enough. From sun going down to sun coming up, it's like you're here with me, whenever I close my eyes." She remembers a moment in particular when she asked him what he wanted to be in his next life. After she said she wanted to be a tree, he said, "Then I want to become a lake in front of that tree. There's something magical about the way trees reflect on the lake. So I want to be the lake." The film ends as Lisa spreads his ashes in a lake. Lisa described the song as "an emotional, beautiful story," in a previous post promoting the music video. The song is featured on her album Alter Ego, which dropped in February. Lisa is also a member of Blackpink, alongside Jisoo, Jennie and Rose. The South Korean girl group is on tour through January. They released "Jump," their first single of the year, in July. Solve the daily Crossword

File Photo by Rune Hellestad/UPI | License Photo Aug. 14 (UPI) -- Netflix is teasing Part 2 of Wednesday's sophomore season, which arrives on the streamer Sept. 3. In a preview released Thursday, viewers see Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) jolt awake in a hospital bed, only to see Principal Weems (Gwendoline Christie) standing at her bedside with a sponge. "What ring of Hell is this?" Wednesday asks upon seeing her. Weems had died in Season 1. "This isn't hell, Miss Addams," Weems says. "But I understand the confusion." "If I'm not dead than why are you here?" Wednesday asks. "Because I am your new spirit guide. Surprise." The trailer shows Wednesday contending with her new companion and Tyler (Hunter Doohan), who is planning to kill Wednesday and Enid (Emma Myers). An earlier trailer for Season 2 showed Wednesday navigating a disturbing vision upon her return to Nevermore Academy. "She learns that her best friend and roommate Enid Sinclair will die -- and that she's somehow responsible," an official synopsis reads. The sophomore season also stars Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzman and Isaac Ordonez as Morticia, Gomez and Pugsley Addams, respectively. Part 1 of Season 2 arrived on Netflix Aug. 6, after it was renewed for Season 3 in July.

Google Photos just got a huge AI upgrade with 'Remix' — here's what you can do now
Google recently announced a new feature for Google Photos called Remix that turns your photos into various cartoon art styles using generative AI. Now, after a little over a month of waiting, the feature has started rolling out to users gradually, so it could be available on your phone soon. Google wrote a support post detailing how to use Remix and showing off the kinds of images it's capable of creating. Essentially, you feed Remix an image, and it lets you choose between a few different art styles to create a cartoon version of your photo. It seems somewhat limited now, with only four art styles, but it's easy to see it expanding into a more robust feature down the road. Currently, the styles available are: Those four art styles are some of the most popular looks, though. A nice benefit of using Google's Remix over ChatGPT or Gemini is that it's freely available in the Google Photos app — you don't need to sign up for another subscription just to turn yourself and your loved ones into funky cartoons. Google's blog post detailed how to use the app, and it's quite streamlined. Here's the basics: It's important to note that this is still rolling out, so you may not see it yet on your Google Photos account. If it's not showing up for you yet, just wait a bit longer.
