Internet erupts at Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau's VERY cozy dinner date: 'Not on my celeb hookup bingo card!'
The singer, 40, who confirmed her split from fiance Orlando Bloom last month, and the former Canadian Prime Minister, 53, were filmed dining together in Montreal at the city's Le Violon restaurant.
In a video obtained by Daily Mail, the pair leaned over a table towards one another as they intimately chatted.
A smiling Perry, who is currently on the Canadian leg of her panned Lifetimes Tour, was seen gesturing as Trudeau intently listened. They were later seen grabbing drinks together.
Social media erupted at the pair's date, with one fan writing: 'Did not have that one on my celebrity hookup bingo card.
Others wrote: 'Both reminiscing their peaks in 2015.
'That's the most random couple I can imagine getting together in 2025
'def didn't have this on my 2025 bingo card
'Imagine the stimulating conversation these two geniuses must be having.
'You could have given me a million guesses as to who his new girlfriend was and it would never have been Katy Perry lol.
'Sort of makes sense, maybe they're bonding over their loss in popularity together.
'Or perhaps Justin is trying to get a music deal for his son's rap music.'
Another quipped about Perry's panned Blue Origin mission: 'Good for her. After all she's been through, the trials and tribulations of being an astronaut while trying to be a single mom, she deserves to be happy.
'They are both insufferable, might just work out for them.'
Daily Mail has contacted representatives for comment and has yet to hear back.
It has been a tough few months for the unlikely pairing - with Perry weathering her tough split from former fiance Bloom, a flop album, 143, and immense backlash over her April Blue Origin space trip.
Perry and Trudeau started their romantic evening with a park stroll, and headed for drinks after dinner at Taverne Atlantic, with sources telling TMZ they enjoyed some drinks on the terrace.
In a video obtained by the publication, the popstar looked sensational in a black and white dress, while Trudeau cut a dapper figure in a navy shirt and slacks.
Meanwhile, Trudeau is navigating life outside of 24 Sussex after his resignation in January following a dramatic fall from grace.
Trudeau shares three children with ex wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, from whom he announced a split in August 2023 after 18 years of marriage.
Sophie was a childhood friend and classmate of Trudeau's older brother Michel, who died in an avalanche in 1998 aged 23.
They began dating in 2003 after reconnecting as adults and were engaged a short time afterwards.
Perry shares one daughter Daisy, four, with Bloom, 48.
Perry and Bloom began dating in 2016 and got engaged on Valentine's Day 2019.
Split speculation swirled for months before the pair finally confirmed the end of their romance last month.
Pouring fuel on the fire, Bloom went alone to Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez 's star-studded wedding in Venice, with Perry in Australia on tour.
Bloom shared a cryptic Instagram post about 'loneliness' and 'darkness' while Perry was seen breaking down in tears onstage at her last Australian show.
Representatives for the pair confirmed to Daily Mail last month that 'Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting. They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is - and always will be - raising their daughter with love, stability, and mutual respect.'
Last month, a source told Us Weekly: 'Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable,' while also adding that the separation has been 'not contentious' thus far.
'Katy is of course upset but is relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life.'
The Teenage Dream hitmaker - who is currently on her Lifetimes Tour - was previously married to Russell Brand from 2010 until their divorce in 2012.
The insider further added that the reported breakup had been 'a long time coming' and that their relationship had also been 'tense for months.'
Last month, People claimed Perry's poorly performing album 143 had caused 'tension' in her relationship with her fiancé.
The singer's seventh studio album was released in September 2024 and received a largely negative response from fans and critics alike, who claimed the record sounds as if it was 'generated through AI.'
Perry's career continued to suffer from her 11-minute space flight which saw her join Gayle King and Lauren Sanchez for the all-female trip in April - with Bloom said to have found the intergalactic mission 'cringe' and 'embarrassing'.
Perry was seen floating inside the capsule holding a daisy in a nod to Daisy.
She was ridiculed on landing back to Earth and emerging with the flower in hand which she held to the sky before dropping to her knees and kissing the ground.
She then proceeded to claim she was 'super connected to love' and thanked a reporter who incorrectly referred to her as an astronaut.
It wasn't long before she was branded 'tone deaf' and 'dramatic' for her actions, which came days after NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore returned to Earth after being stranded in space for more than nine months.
During her show to a sold-out crowd at Chicago's United Center on May 12, the singer addressed being the 'most hated person on the Internet.
In a video captured by a fan, the star takes a moment to look around at her fans, and says: 'Well, I thought I was the most hated person on the internet.
'I think that's false' Perry gushed as the cheering got louder.
Trudeau announced on January 6 that he was stepping down as the Liberal party leader but stayed on as prime minister until his successor was chosen on March 9.
In emotional remarks Trudeau, who served as Prime Minister since 2015, said: 'Last night over dinner I told my kids about the decision that I'm sharing with you today. I intend to resign as party leader, as Prime Minister.'
With his government in turmoil, Trudeau said Parliament would be suspended until March 24 while his Liberal Party chooses a new leader. He was succeeded by Mike Carney.
The scion of one of Canada 's most famous political families had become deeply unpopular in recent years over a range of issues including the soaring cost of food and housing, and surging immigration.
Trump had repeatedly mocked the former Canadian leader by suggesting his country would be better off as the 51st U.S. state.
Trudeau's decision came after he faced weeks of pressure from party colleagues amid a bitter rift over how to handle relations with Trump in his second term.
Trump announced on social media after his reelection a plan to introduce a 25 percent tariff on goods from Canada , which led Trudeau into a frenzy to try and clean-up his relationship with the U.S. president-elect before he is sworn into office later this month.
The day after unveiling the idea, Trudeau immediately flew down to Mar-a-Lago to do damage control.
During that meeting, reports emerged detailing how Trudeau pleaded with Trump not to impose the tariffs and claimed it would kill Canada's economy.
Last month Trump revealed he would raise tariffs on Canadian products to 35 percent from August 1.
Trump said the tariff hike was in part due to the fentanyl crisis and Canada's 'failure to stop the drugs from pouring into our country '.

Titanic director James Cameron warns of ‘Terminator-style' AI weapons threat
Oscar-winning director James Cameron has warned that the dystopian future he imagined in The Terminator may no longer be confined to fiction as AI takes over. The filmmaker raised fears that artificial intelligence could soon control military systems, including nuclear weapons. The Canadian filmmaker, 70, told Rolling Stone magazine that an arms race relying on AI presents a 'dangerous' scenario that could spiral beyond human control. His comments came as he promoted the new book Ghosts of Hiroshima, which he plans to adapt into a feature film. 'I do think there's still a danger of a 'Terminator'-style apocalypse where you put AI together with weapons systems, even up to the level of nuclear weapon systems, nuclear defence counterstrike, all that stuff,' Cameron said. 'Because the theatre of operations is so rapid, the decision windows are so fast, it would take a super-intelligence to be able to process it, and maybe we'll be smart and keep a human in the loop. 'But humans are fallible, and there have been a lot of mistakes made that have put us right on the brink of international incidents that could have led to nuclear war. So I don't know.' The Avatar and Titanic director, whose 1984 hit The Terminator featured a self-aware AI system named Skynet launching nuclear Armageddon, said the convergence of today's crises, from climate change to AI, should be taken seriously. 'I feel like we're at this cusp in human development where you've got the three existential threats: climate and our overall degradation of the natural world, nuclear weapons, and super-intelligence,' he continued. 'They're all sort of manifesting and peaking at the same time. Maybe the super-intelligence is the answer. I don't know. I'm not that, but it might be.' Cameron's concerns about AI are longstanding. In a viral 2023 interview, he poured cold water on the idea that artificial intelligence could replace human screenwriters, saying: 'I just don't personally believe that a disembodied mind that's just regurgitating what other embodied minds have said, about the life that they've had, about love, about lying, about fear, about mortality , and just put it all together into a word salad and then regurgitate it… I don't believe that's ever going to have something that's going to move an audience. You have to be human to write that. I don't know anyone that's even thinking about having AI write a screenplay.' Despite his reservations, Cameron has embraced certain uses of AII, particularly in relation to the spiralling cost of filmmaking. In September 2024, he joined the board of Stability AI, the firm behind the image-generation tool Stable Diffusion. Speaking on a podcast earlier this year, he outlined how he believes AI could help reduce production budgets without eliminating human jobs. 'If we want to continue to see the kinds of movies that I've always loved and that I like to make and that I will go to see, Dune, Dune: Part Two, or one of my films or big effects-heavy, CG-heavy films, we've got to figure out how to cut the cost in half,' he said. 'Now that's not about laying off half the staff at the effects company. That's about doubling their speed to completion on a given shot, so your cadence is faster and your throughput cycle is faster, and artists get to move on and do other cool things and then other cool things, right? That's my sort of vision for that.'

MrBeast's 'casual confession about his net worth has YouTube fans floored
Jimmy 'MrBeast' Donaldson is behind one of the most successful YouTube channel boasting more than 420 million subscribers. He also runs a host of businesses and charitable ventures YouTube star MrBeast made a 'casual' confession about his net worth which left many people amazed. The 27-year-old, whose real name is James Stephen 'Jimmy' Donaldson, is behind the most subscribed to channel on YouTube, boasting an online community of 420 million subscribers - a figure which continues to grow each day. The content creator is renowned for his quirky brand of charity and high production gameplay, which pulls in audiences all over the globe. His videos are often creative and elaborately planned, with quirky plots such as being 'trapped' inside a private jet for 100 days, or finding items to win cash prizes. His charitable endeavours are also incredibly prominent on his channel, with a recent video upload centring on his mission to provide clean water to millions of people. Much has been reported about his net worth, which is estimated to be $1 billion (£747.8 million), but a recent video shared on social media shared his 'casual' attitude towards it. In a recent live stream hosted by internet personality and streamer Adin Ross, Jimmy appeared alongside other online content creators and the topic of his net worth came up. Adin asked: 'Jimmy, are you a billionaire? Be honest.' Jimmy replied: 'Yeah.' A snippet of this exchange was posted on TikTok and captured the other creators' stunned, silent reactions. Many of them let their mouths fall open in shock. Jimmy then added: 'What would you say the largest YouTube channel in the world is worth?' In the comments section, fellow TikTok users were keen to share their thoughts. One person said: 'That 'yeah' was so casual, it's actually insane how smart Jimmy is." Another referenced Canadian content creator xQc's facial expressions after hearing Jimmy's net worth. They said: 'Xqc's eye opened up like 'bruh I got competitions now'." Someone else commented: 'Well if someone [has] over 200million [subscribers] of course he ain't gonna be broke." Another added: 'You know what's the craziest part about this, is his wealth will just expand faster from now on." In an appearance on Steven Bartlett's popular Diary of a CEO back in February, Jimmy confirmed his staggering net worth but said it's only 'on paper'. In his actual bank account, he shared: 'In my actual bank account, I have less than one million.' He explained the majority of his wealth is reinvested into his content creation, as well as paying his staff. The 27-year-old, who was born in Kansas, US, originally began his online career with 'Let's Play' videos - whereby the creator plays through a video game in its entirety offering their commentary and insight on their experience of it - before progressing to other types of content like guessing fellow YouTubers' wealth, and offering his thoughts on YouTube 'dramas'. He first went viral in 2017 with a YouTube video that captured him counting up to 100,00, before progressing to the inventive and high-budget productions he's so known and loved for to this day. The star is also the founder of several businesses, including MrBeast Burger and Feastables.
