KATY PERRY HAS THE LAST LAUGH

The Balenciaga show is always a big deal during Paris Fashion Week and Katy Perry showed up to support the luxe brand in what appears to be a luggage-inspired cocktail dress. Or is it a dress for traveling? The front features a strappy backpack and a series of fanny packs, duffel bags and briefcases. All those zippers indicate that a lot could be stored in those pouches. But what would it look like if the wearer DID fill the pockets? This Balenciaga design will no doubt appeal to those who love punk fashion…

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Katy Perry was honored at the VMAs this past week with the Vanguard Award, (lifetime achievement) and Taylor Swift was seen in the audience singing and dancing along to the performance. This made headlines because the gals went from best friends to enemies after a well publicized spat over back-up dancers. They recently buried the hatchet, and there’s a reason Taylor was so animated in the audience while Katy performed – they are planning to do a DUET together. We just heard about the top secret plan and the single will be released in early 2025.

Speaking of Taylor Swift, the weeks’ biggest news was her endorsement of Kamala Harris. We recently revealed her boyfriend Travis Kelce was planning to follow in her footsteps and endorse the Democratic nominee as well, but we just heard that plan has hit a snag. Travis plays for the Kansas City Chiefs and the owners are Trump supporters. Poor Travis is facing a real-life Sophie’s Choice, either disappoint his girlfriend or the people who sign his paycheck. My source says he is still hoping for a way to endorse Kamala without officially endorsing her, which means expect to see him at one of her upcoming rallies.

Selena Gomez made the news this week when it was revealed she was worth approximately $1 billion thanks to her line of beauty products. According to our source, Selena is wasting no time spending her newfound fortune. She just began looking at homes in Montecito, California, right down the street from where Oprah Winfrey resides. My source explains that her goal is to get married and have a child via surrogate in 2025 and she loves the idea of raising a family in the affluent coastal community.

Donald Trump made headlines for his disastrous debate performance against Kamala Harris and he just announced he won’t be participating in any more debates. We just heard this scoop though. Kamala had accepted a few offers to debate Trump on NBC and she still plans on showing up to spread HER message to the American people even if Trump is a no show.

Finally, Jennifer Lopez made headlines when she appeared in Toronto at her Unstoppable movie premiere alongside Matt Damon but without her estranged husband Ben Affleck. (Ben, Matt, and Jen all produced the film). J.Lo and Matt were seen clasping hands engulfed in conversation and we just heard they weren’t talking about their movie. My source says Matt is devastated that Ben and Jen are calling it quits and he was encouraging her to work it out. We have all seen Ben’s history of spiraling when he’s single, and Matt is fearful Ben will fall off the sober wagon once he faces the reality of being alone again. Jennifer still loves Ben but our source says his mood swings became too much for her to handle. The ONLY way she’s calling off the divorce is if he checks into a treatment center and gets his moods under control.

KATY PERRY’S DAUGHTER DAISY LOVES NYC

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are in New York this week showing their daughter Daisy Dove, 4, around the city. We were surprised to see that Daisy (Orlando calls her DD) is platinum blonde. Katy insists that Daisy takes after her – that SHE is a natural blonde but we don’t remember ever seeing her that way. Daisy had a fabulous time visiting her mom on American Idol and she’s now helping Katy sign autographs for fans. Can a showbiz career be in Daisy Bloom’s future?

WHO WILL REPLACE KATY PERRY ON AMERICAN IDOL?

American Idol needs a judge to replace the departing Katy Perry, and a source connected to the still popular show revealed the top two candidates in the running: Jennifer Lopez and her 2020 Super Bowl halftime show co-performer, Shakira. J.Lo was a judge on Idol for 5 non-consecutive seasons while Shakira was a guest performer, but never a judge. If a deal cannot be struck with either of them, next on the wish list is Dua Lipa. Behind closed doors meetings with the respective agents are happening, with a new judge to be named soon.

HOW MUCH DOES KATY PERRY LOVE PICKLEBALL?

Katy Perry has been bitten by the pickleball craze. Katy recently hosted a pickleball tournament in Montecito, California, to benefit Firework Foundation, the charity she founded to provide access to the arts for underprivileged communities. But now she wants to do MORE. Katy is planning to launch a line of snazzy pickleball outfits for both women and men and donate all the profits to her charity. Katy, who designs many of her own costumes, feels there’s a need for flattering sportswear to go along pickleball’s relatively newfound popularity. As one friend explains, Katy feels the expanding pickleball community would welcome better options when it comes to athletic wear, and by donating the proceeds to charity, it’s a win-win.

KATY PERRY WANTS HER DISASTROUS MARRIAGE TO RUSSELL BRAND ERASED FROM HISTORY

NOW we know the reason why Katy Perry and her baby daddy Orlando Bloom aren’t married yet – she’s waiting for her first marriage to Russell Brand to be annulled so she can marry Orlando in a Catholic Church! Katy has been trying to annul her 14-month marriage to Russell ever since he asked for a divorce in December 2011, but the process can be long and arduous. Since Brand was accused of rape and sexual assault by four women, Katy is in a BIGGER hurry. According to my source, Katy is FINALLY close to getting the ill-fated marriage scrubbed from her record, and she will marry Orlando before the ink is dry on those annulment papers.

KATY PERRY’S NIGHTMARE IS COMING TRUE

Katy Perry’s lips have been sealed since she divorced her 10 years older husband of 14 months, Russell Brand. She described their union as a colossal mistake, and hinted that she intended to keep the “real truth ” hidden. Russell Brand isn’t facing any criminal charges YET, despite being accused of sexual assault by a handful of women, (some while he was married) and Katy is praying he resolves his potential issues without going to court. Katy has already been told by legal counsel that she’s likely to be summoned to appear if a criminal case is filed, and the LAST thing she wants to do is testify. She does NOT want to get dragged into Russell’s troubles, but realizes she might NOT have a choice. Our source says that despite their messy split, Russell has let mutual pals know he may need to subpoena Katy to appear as a character witness and wants to do so before any potential prosecutor interviews her. Does he expect her to say good things about him and vouch for his character? This will be interesting…

KATY PERRY AND ORLANDO BLOOM ARE DOING IT!

Believe it or not, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are FINALLY getting married! The proud parents of two-year-old Daisy have had a LONG engagement (since 2019) but blamed covid restrictions on why they haven’t tied the knot. Now that the pandemic is behind us and travel restrictions lifted, Katy and Orlando intend to make it official this summer, with a destination wedding somewhere exotic and tropical and WARM. The couple have been telling pals that the official save the date cards will be in the mail SHORTLY, and to get ready for an ALL EXPENSES PAID super-fun soirée that they won’t soon forget!

WORST DRESSED AT MET GALA: KATY PERRY

Worst Dressed at the Met Gala was easy this year- it’s a slam dunk for Katy Perry. We love Katy, but fashion is simply not her “thing.” She likes to have fun with it and admits that she takes a lot of fashion risks but has no regrets. After all, in past years she came to the gala dressed as a cheeseburger and a chandelier, and Tom Ford called her out for it. This year she promised a “different” look and she resembles a bawdy saloon dancer in the wild west. There’s nothing flattering about this look – from the head scarf to the bustle – and we cannot IMAGINE what designer will admit responsibility …

SHE FAMOUSLY NAVIGATES THE WORLD UNMOLESTED

You’d never guess that behind that cart is the famous star of the biggest hit show now in Las Vegas! Who ELSE but Katy Perry! Katy’s production, called PLAY, at Resorts World Las Vegas is enjoying excellent reviews and has been described as: “emotional, whimsical, psychedelic, fantasy and high camp.” The show opens with Katy climbing out of a giant orange toilet! Off-stage, Katy knows how to get around alone and unnoticed. She went grocery shopping incognito at LA’s Erewhon (one of our favorite markets) dressed in a nondescript quilted coat with baggy lavender sweats underneath, a fanny pack, and sandals (in January!) a baseball cap, and of course, the ever-present mask. She loaded her groceries into the car and no one paid any attention…
