Katy Perry: ENGAGED to Orlando Bloom?!
You may have been aware Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom broke up back in March of 2017.
But did you know they got back together in January of this year?
If you were in the dark on that one, you’re certainly not alone.
Their second time around, Katy and Orlando agreed to keep things much more low key.
But just because they’re not shouting their love from the rooftop, that doesn’t mean they’re not seriously invested in this relationship.
In fact, it seems that Perry and Bloom may be on the verge of taking a major step forward together.
According to a new report from Us Weekly, Katy and Orlando are planning to get engaged sometime in the very near future.
“Katy and Orlando have worked out all their kinks and have had really fluid communication about what each of them wants,” the insider explains.
“Katy doesn’t want this relationship to be a repeat cycle of things she’s already experienced in past relationships that didn’t work out,” the source adds.
“She’s learned to grow from them and doesn’t want that in her current relationship.”
Yes, it sounds as though Katy and Orlando have both learned a great deal from their previous high-profile relationships.
“They really try to communicate well and spend as much time together as possible,” the source claims.
“Obviously, they’re both very busy, but they prioritize communicating and working their schedules around each other,” the insider adds.
“They are very much in love, so an engagement wouldn’t be a surprise.”
These comments sound suspiciously as though they originated with Katy’s reps, which leads us to believe there’s some legitimacy to these rumors.
We’re sure this pseudo-announcement will lead to another round of rumors that Perry is pregnant with Bloom’s baby, but we’re not willing to take it quite that far yet.
Even if the singer is expecting, it’ll likely be quite some time before she makes the news official.
After all, the same reps that are spreading the word about her possible engagement can be quite adept at keeping things secret when they want to.

Matthew Perry Reveals THREE-MONTH Hospital Stay; Is the Actor Alright Now?
About five weeks ago, we quoted a report that claimed Matthew Perry was on death’s door.
It may have seemed like hyperbole to some, but the former Friends star has now come out and confirmed the following:
He was REALLY sick for a long period of time.
On Friday, the 49-year-old actor tweeted a few simple, albeit scary, words:
Three months in a hospital bed. Check.
Whoa there.
Three months in a hospital bed?!? That makes it sound as if the “death’s door” report was not so far off base.
Perry did not specify whether or not he’s finally been checked out of the hospital, but it’s safe to assume so based on that Tweet.
The update comes a little over a month after a rep for the actor confirmed in a statement to that “Matthew Perry recently underwent surgery in a Los Angeles hospital to repair a gastrointestinal perforation.
“He is grateful for the concern and asks for continued privacy as he heals.”
The outcome of this specific surgery depends on how early the ailment was diagnosed, along with how severe the perforation is and whether the patient had another disease or illness at the time.
We can’t really answer any of these questions when it comes to Perry.
Often times, conditions such as appendicitis, stomach ulcers, gallstones and/or Crohn’s disease can cause gastrointestinal perforations, as can a stabbing to the abdomen and abdominal surgery.
Moreover, smoking and excessive alcohol use can increase a person’s need for this procedure.
And it’s a safe guess that this is why Perry has been suffering.
The veteran star has open about his struggles with alcohol abuse and has even opened his own sober-living facility named Perry House.
“I couldn’t stop,” Perry told People Magazine in 2013 of his substance abuse. “Eventually things got so bad that I couldn’t hide it, and then everybody knew.”
A powerful voice in the battle against addiction, Perry also said the following at one point to The Hollywood Reporter”
“You can’t have a drug problem for 30 years and then expect to have it be solved in 28 days.”
This is a reference to the typical length of one’s stay at a treatment facility.
In honor of his road to recovery, Perry was presented with the 2015 Phoenix Rising Award.
“I’m an award-winning alcoholic,” Perry told The Hollywood Reporter. “I shouldn’t be getting an award; Phoenix House should be getting an award.”
Along with his iconic role on Friends, Perry also anchored such programs as The Odd Couple. Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and Mr. Sunshine.
We wish him all the best.

Matthew Perry on "Death"s Door" Following Emergency Operation
Matthew Perry is fighting for his life, according to a troubling new report.
The former Friends star “recently underwent surgery in a Los Angeles hospital to repair a gastrointestinal perforation,” his rep has confirmed to multiple outlets.
This statement concludes as follows:
“He is grateful for the concern and asks for continued privacy as he heals.”
For the record, a gastrointestinal perforation takes place when a hole develops in the lining of the throat to rectum area; it can be caused by a multitude of factors — such as Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and appendicitis.
We got this information from the Mayo Clinic.
But we’ve also gleaned some intel from Radar Online, which is not treating Perry’s condition in a casual manner.
This website claims that Perry may not even survive as a result of the “severe stomach pains” that led to his hospitalization and subsequent surgery this week.
“He was in bad shape, and only recently has shown signs of improvement,” a source tells Radar of Perry. “But he’s still not well.”
Perry had battled substance abuse problems over the years, occasionally speaking to the press and the public about these personal obstacles and hiccups.
Drinking too much, it should be noted here, can contribute to digestive health issues.
“I’ve had a lot of ups and downs in my life and a lot of wonderful accolades,” Perry said three years ago, adding:
“But the best thing about me is that if an alcoholic comes up to me and says, ‘Will you help me stop drinking?’ I will say, ‘Yes. I know how to do that."”
This same year, Perry opened up a sober-living facility named the Perry House.
He has done all he can to educate folks on alcoholism and to assist others in his same situation.
This is why we hope Radar’s headline, which really does clam that Perry is on “death’s door,” is nothing but click bait-based hyperbole.
The site also alleges that Perry has been on a “downward spiral” since 2016, despite personal claims that he’s been safely on the wagon.
“I had a big problem with pills and alcohol, and I couldn’t stop,” the star told People Magazine in 2013, boasting at the time about his newfound sobriety.
Around this same time, Perry received a Champion of Recovery award from the Office of National Drug Control Policy.
Two years later, after leaving a treatment center called The Phoenix House, Perry told The Hollywood Reporter:
“I’m an award-winning alcoholic. I shouldn’t be getting an award; Phoenix House should be getting an award.
Perry, of course, will forever be known as Chandler Bing from Friends.
But his television resume also includes roles on The West Wing, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, The Good Wife, Go On and The Odd Couple.
We wish him the very best.

Kesha Accuses Dr. Luke of Raping Katy Perry
A new and very disturbing allegation has been leveled against music producer Dr. Luke.
To be more accurate, the allegation itself is not new.
But it has only just now been made public, and it has the music industry reeling in many different directions.
Allow us to explain…
The Blast has obtained legal documents that allege Kesha told Lady Gaga via text message in 2016 that Dr. Luke had raped both herself… and Katy Perry.
The first accusation listed above has been documented several times in the past.
Kesha claimed back in 2014 that Dr. Luke assaulted her and harassed her throughout their professional relationship and she has since filed a lawsuit against the infamous producer.
On May 31, however, Luke’s attorney filed papers that include the following sections:
On Feb. 26, 2016, [Kesha] sent a text message to Stefani Germanotta p/k/a Lady Gaga which repeated [Kesha’s] false claim that Gottwald had raped her.
In this text message, [Kesha] also falsely asserted that Gottwald had also raped Kathryn Hudson p/k/a Katy Perry.
Following this text message conversation, and with [Kesha’s] encouragement, Ms. Germanotta spread negative messages about Gottwald in the press and on social media.
For example, in February 2016, Ms. Germanotta posted multiple articles discussing defendant defamatory statements on her Twitter page.
To be clear, as mentioned above, it is Dr. Luke’s own attorney who included these text message excerpts in his court filing.
He is claiming that Kesha has defamed his client and is denying her accusations about both her rape and the rape of Perry by Dr. Luke.
We reported last August that Lady Gaga had agreed to submit unedited text exchanges she had with Kesha to the court in an attempt to assist Kesha with her lawsuit against Dr. Luke.
In addition to co-producing Kesha’s breakout hits “TiK ToK” and “We R Who We R,” the producer also worked on a number of Perry singles, including “I Kissed a Girl,” “Teenage Dream” and “Roar.”
There’s no debate here that he knows Perry well.
But there’s obviously a very big difference between knowing her well and assaulting her in the manner Kesha has reportedly described to her friends.
No one from Kesha, Lady Gaga or Katy Perry’s camps have commented on this story.
In a New York Times feature published a year ago, Perry simply said “I had to leave the nest” when asked why she stopped working with Dr. Luke.
Dr. Luke alleges he lost out on over $ 10 million that he would have made for working on various Perry’s albums… and thinks Kesha’s allegations damaged his reputation and led to his split from the American Idol judge.
The documents published by The Blast also reveal that Perry has been deposed as part of Kesha’s lawsuit, but they do not give details to what was said.
Luke, meanwhile, has strongly denied all allegations of assault and abuse by Kesha.
He has countersued the singer for breach of contract and defamation.
In February of 2016, Dr. Luke tweeted:
“I didn’t rape Kesha and I have never had sex with her. Kesha and I were friends for many years and she was like my little sister.”
Two years after he made this statement, Kesha stole the show at the 2018 Grammy Awards when she performed her empowerment anthem “Praying” in support of the Time’s Up movement with a choir comprised of Cyndi Lauper, Camila Cabello, Julia Michaels, Andra Day and Bebe Rexha.

Katy Perry Actually Said WHAT About Meghan Markle"s Wedding Dress?!?
Now that Katy Perry is done feuding with Taylor Swift, the singer has apparently chosen a new target for her wrath.
And that target is…
… Meghan Markle?!?
Apparently, yes.
Following Saturday’s royal wedding, the rare event met with universal approval across the Internet, Perry was asked for her reaction to Markle’s wedding down.
It was a pretty basic ensemble, designed by Givenchy and worn perfectly by the glowing bride.
Or at least that’s what we thought.
“I would have done one more fitting,” the American Idol judge told Entertainment Tonight about the gown, adding with a smile:
“I’m never not going to tell the truth! One more fitting, but I love you!”
Let’s keep in mind that this fashion assessment is coming from someone who went out in public looking like this recently:
Designed by Great Britain’s own Clare Waight Keller, Markle’s dress featured a sleek silhouette featured and an open bateau neckline, along with slim three-quarter sleeves.
Moreover, it expertly emphasized the bride’s slender sculpted waist, according to Kensington Palace’s official release.
Has the gown received the sort of praise bestowed upon Kate Middleton’s wedding dress in 2011? Which actually led H&M to come out with a much cheaper version that it now sells in storeS?
No. Not yet at least.
But why be so harsh, Katy Perry?!?
“Kate won! Kate won!” Perry added even more obnoxiously, making clear in this same interview that she preferred Middleton’s Alexander McQueen-designed frock.
(Do you agree? Vote below!)
Fashion Face-Off!
You must pick one: Who wore her Royal Wedding Dress best, Meghan Markle or Kate Middleton? View Poll »
Markle and Harry got married on Saturday, May 19, of course.
The ceremony was attended by several hundred guests, while thousands of people lined the London streets to cheer on the couple and millions more watched at home on television.
We’ve since learned that Harry gave a speech at the evening reception in which he said he cannot wait for him and Markle to be an official “team.’
He also praised his bride’s “grace and dignity,” both of which truly have been on display while she gets dragged left and right by her terrible family members.
In her speech, meanwhile, Markle reportedly thanked her mom (“You have always been there for me through everything…”) and the Royal Family for accepting her into their lives with open arms.
Markle and Harry remain in Great Britain right now, putting off their honeymoon for an undetermined period of time.
It’s unclear just when they’ll depart and it’s equally unclear just where they are actually going for this big trip.
What is VERY clear, however, is that these two deserve a very long vacation.
They’ve been in the public eye for a long time now and they don’t need to just sit back and take this sort of criticism from someone like Katy Perry.
We hope they get the chance to get far away from it all soon, to kick back, relax and makes all sort of sweet and passionate love.
Don’t you agree?

Katy Perry to Taylor Swift: WTH? We"re in a Feud Again!
As it turns out, peace in the Middle East may be easier to achieve than peace between Katy Perry and Taylor Swift.
Earlier this week, the celebrity gossip world was stunned to discover that Perry had reached out to Swift on the day of her Reputation Tour kick-off in order to extend an olive branch.
We mean this literally.
According to an Instagram video shared by Swift, Perry sent her long-time foe an actual olive branch, along with a note.
The items were filmed by Swift inside her dressing room, with the artist giving followers a look at just a snippet of Perry’s message.
“Hey Old Friend – I’ve been doing some reflecting on past miscommunications and hurt feelings between us,” it opens, with other recognizable pieces including how Perry is “deeply sorry” and wants to “clear the air.”
FINALLY, right?
This feud between two of the most successful solo artists in recent music history was ignited over five years ago.
While never totally and/or completely confirmed by either side, it appears to stem from Swift’s belief that Perry stole a couple backup singers from her back in the day.
The one time Swift did open up about the rivalry, she did not call out Perry by name.
But she did explain that tension centered around “business” and that another singer did something “horrible” that involved trying to “sabotage” an entire tour.
Perry, meanwhile, has gone on record as saying Swift attempted to “assassinate my character.”
It’s been an entertaining, passive aggressive back-and-forth that we’re sad to see come to an end…
… except The Daily Mail now says the rivalry isn’t actually over!
An insider tells the British newspaper that a new issue has arisen, and it’s hilariously connected directly to Perry’s aforementioned mea culpa.
“Katy expected that Taylor would post something about it, but she didn’t expect the actual letter to go on social,” says this source, alleging that Perry is peeved that Swift went so public with the note and olive branch.
Why?
Because, based on what we can see in Taylor’s Instagram footage, it makes it appear as if Perry is taking all the blame and is acknowledging that the whole beef was her fault.
Adds this individual:
“The thing is, you can only see part of what Katy wrote and it looks like she’s taking sole responsibility for the entire feud.
“Without context, it looks like she’s taking the blame for everything and obviously there’s a lot more to it than that.”
This is so great. We really hope this report is true.
We really hope Perry’s attempts to make peace with Swift actually had the opposite effect and now things are worse than ever.
It would just be hilarious, right?
We’re not gonna take a side here, but Katy has clearly been the one trying for awhile now to calm everything down.
“I am ready to let it go,” she said on The Thrive Global Podcast last year, adding:
“I forgive her and I’m sorry for anything I ever did, and I hope the same from her … I love her, and I want the best for her. And I think she’s a fantastic songwriter.”
