Katy Perry granted restraining order against homeless man after he repeatedly showed up at her home
The Firework songstress, 40 — who recently split from Orlando Bloom, 48 — filed a temporary restraining order against a man named Ross Elliott Hendrick on June 18.
And on Monday, a judge granted Katy's permanent restraining order according to TMZ.
In her filing, Katy claimed that the homeless man has visited her property various times throughout the month of May and continues to return.
In her request Katy also sought protection for Orlando — with whom she recently had an awkward lunch — calling him her 'partner' who lives with her.
The first time he attempted to trespass at her Santa Barbara abode, he was arrested - and her security team stated that Hendrick had a butane lighter and an aerosol can with him.
The second time he returned to the pop star's home, the man threw a blanket over the security gate.
Katy's security has backed up her worries and agree that Hendrick could pose a potential threat.
She has requested that the homeless man not only stay 100 yards away from her, but also her properties, job, car and now-ex Orlando.
The legal documents were filed on June 18 - shortly before it was reported that Perry and Bloom had separated after nine years together and welcoming daughter Daisy, four.
The actor recently shared a cryptic post to his Instagram stories in the wake of his split from Katy.
The Pirates Of The Caribbean star - who partied with A-listers at the Venice wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez last month - shared a quote from Gautama Buddha to his 7 million followers.
The quote that Bloom reposted read: 'Each day is a new beginning. What we do today is what matters most.'
He additionally shared a separate slide which had another quote which was titled 'Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda.'

It continued, 'The important thing is to take that first step. Bravely overcoming one small fear gives you the courage to take on the next.'
Last month it was revealed that Orlando and Katy officially called it quits after dating for nine years.
At the time, 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 embarking 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.'
In the wake of the separation, Bloom whisked himself away to Venice to attend the star-studded nuptials between Bezos and Sanchez.
The actor was spotted mingling with a number of celebrities, including Kim Kardashian and Sydney Sweeney.
PR and brand expert Chad Teixeira talked to MailOnline about the split, labeling it as 'incredibly well-timed' for Orlando.
'The breakup has created a brand window for Orlando, and one that he's stepping into with just the right amount of presence.
Teixeira added, 'He's not chasing the spotlight, but he's not hiding either. That's a savvy move in today's fame economy and it'll stand him in better stead when Katy's fame is disappearing more than ever.
'From a brand and public image standpoint, Orlando Bloom's recent split from Katy Perry appears to be incredibly well-timed, whether intentionally or coincidentally.
'In the wake of a high-profile relationship that often placed him in the shadow of Perry's headline-making career, Orlando now has the opportunity to reestablish his own narrative, independent of her increasingly complex public perception.'
Chad then expressed that Perry has 'struggled to gain traction' in the spotlight and has received 'lukewarm reception' when it comes to her recent projects - such as her 143 album which dropped last year.
Teixeira later explained that Bloom 'is not trying to dominate headlines, but he's appearing at exactly the right places, looking relaxed, charismatic, and unburdened.
'The media is responding positively, capturing him enjoying life, socializing, even partying, which feeds into a well-worn but effective Hollywood archetype.'
Chad added, 'He's now coming across as the effortlessly cool, slightly mysterious leading man who doesn't need to try too hard.
'In PR terms, this is a textbook soft rebrand, it's low on drama, high on visibility, and perfectly timed to capitalize on a shift in public sentiment...'
The actor first sparked up a romance with Perry in early 2016 - and he later popped the big question in 2019. They welcomed their daughter Daisy in 2020.
Bloom was previously married to supermodel Miranda Kerr from 2010 until their divorce was finalized in 2013.

Eddie Murphy says get-togethers with Martin Lawrence's family are ‘really normal' and not full of jokes
Comedians Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence have become in-laws after Murphy's son Eric married Lawrence's daughter Jasmin in May. Murphy joked that their potential grandchildren might be 'serious' rather than inheriting their comedic genes, despite public speculation. The couple opted for a quiet wedding with just the two of them, foregoing a large ceremony. Murphy and Lawrence have been friends for many years, having starred together in films like Boomerang and Life. Eric and Jasmin were introduced by Jasmin's uncle, not by their famous fathers, despite their fathers' long-standing friendship.

Coyote Ugly sequel gets major update as Piper Perabo drives fans wild with hints 25 years after filming original movie
A sequel for Coyote Ugly is potentially in the works as an original cast member shared a major update, to the excitement of many longtime fans. Piper Perabo, who is known for portraying the protagonist Violet Sanford in the 2000 film, hinted at the possibility of a follow-up installment while attending San Diego Comic-Con over the weekend. The 48-year-old actress, who starred in Coyote Ugly when she was in her early 20s, hinted at a project being in the works and said there have been behind-the-scenes talks. 'There has been some discussion about that,' she told The Hollywood Reporter on Sunday. 'Some things are being discussed.' She continued mysteriously: 'I can't really say, but people that were doing it are talking about some stuff.' Her update comes less than a year after Perabo reunited with the ensemble cast to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Coyote Ugly with Tyra Banks, Maria Bello, Izabella Miko, Bridget Moynahan and Melanie Lynskey. When she was asked if talks about a second film was once again 'back on,' she responded, 'Among the necessary — and some people that were like, "Well, we don't necessarily need," they're like, "Oh, well I wanna be in it."' She added: 'So there's a lot of cooks in the kitchen right now, but things are moving around.' When asked if there was already a written script for Coyote Ugly 2, she only replied: 'I can't say anything about that.' Perabo added, 'But I will say that people that were integral to making it are in communication about how to do something more.' The actress previously starred in the the original movie, which was released in 2000. In the dramedy, she played aspiring songwriter Violet Sanford, who gets a job at the Coyote Ugly saloon to earn money as she pursues her music career. It's there that she meets Kevin O'Donnell (portrayed by Adam Garcia), and he helps her overcome her stage fright. However, her father (John Goodman) learns of her new job and disapproves of the environment at Coyote Ugly, and she ends up getting fired. He later gets involved in a car crash, and the scary experience gives him a new outlook, leading him to encourage his daughter to pursue her songwriting dreams. Despite having a relatively low budget and receiving mediocre reviews, Coyote Ugly was hit after grossing $113 million worldwide. In February, the cast reunited for a special screening and Q&A to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the movie's release. During the event, Banks said that the reunion was 'magical, wild, hilarious and deeply touching — just like the movie itself.' In her pre-screening remarks at the event, according to People, Bello praised Banks for her role in organizing the benefit. During the panel discussion, Miko recalled the intense rehearsals for the movie's elaborate dance numbers. 'It feels like it was months, but I don't know if it was months, but it was a long time,' she recalled. 'There was just not only the choreography, but also just dealing with fire and water elements. That was great.' Miko went on to say that she was 'so grateful' not to be among those who had to dance on the bar, which she called 'a nightmare.' Prior to the reunion, Bello teased that she hadn't 'seen some of those girls in 25 years' and was excited to see what would happen. Back in 2018, she teased that she was eager to reprise her role as the no-nonsense bartender. 'I'm dying to do Coyote Ugly 2,' the actress told People. 'I want to produce it — I just need to get the rights from Mr. Jerry Bruckheimer or work with him.'

Blackpink review – K-pop queens bring fun to New York with a little fatigue on the side
In 2023, the four women of Blackpink – Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa and Rosé – stood on top of the world. In the seven years since their 2016 debut, the K-pop quartet became the biggest girl group of all time, off the back of delirious hooks, hard-ass stunting, cut-glass choreography and relentless work. With billions of streams, sold-out stadiums and YouTube viewership records in their wake, the group became the female face of the boundary-annihilating force that is K-pop, taking pandemonium and hype as its calling card; with the exception of their slender physiques, everything about the band was huge. Their 2023 headliner set at Coachella – the first Asian and all-female group to headline one of North America's largest music festivals – served as a jet-fueled exclamation point on global domination. I stood in the crowd that night feeling like I'd been leveled by a sonic boom, in the best way. Much has changed in the two short years since then. The band went on unofficial hiatus for each member's respective solo careers, and the four subsequent releases – Jennie's Ruby, Jisoo's Amortage, Lisa's Alter Ego and Rosé's Rosie – all attempted to escape the Blackpink shadow with halting success; the group's two rappers, Lisa and Jennie, also launched English-language acting careers on HBO, in The White Lotus and The Idol, and returned to Coachella as solo acts with plenty of bombast but less horsepower. The once ascendant wave of K-pop, buoyed up by the massive crossover success of Blackpink and all-male peers BTS, stalled out abroad and lost traction at home, global ambition and misfiring albums costing musical identity and momentum. The pop banger remains, however, a universal, enduring language, and at New York's Citi Field on Sunday night, Blackpink flexed their mastery of the genre with a tour of their energy drink-style hits – unabashedly manufactured, relentlessly upbeat, the highs jagged, aggressive and borderline hallucinatory. Just two years after their last world tour, Blackpink is back for what is billed as a reunion, with the band in a precarious if still victorious position; the last North American stop of their Deadline World Tour (is the deadline age? Solo success? Fleeting consumer attention?), at a stadium in one of the largest Asian American communities in the US, is an undeniable celebration, a spectacular if familiar show of force. It's also evidence of the wandering focus of a band now comfortably at the top; despite the alleged urgency of the deadline, the 2.5-hour show is more slack than Blackpink standard, the girls still stunting but no longer out for the kill. (With the exception of Lisa, the group's hardest member by far, who remains lethal, her dancing never less than crisp.) Numerous times during the group's typically maximalist set – three acts and an encore, spliced with two-to-three-song solo diversions for each member – I caught the look of fatigue on their faces. A drop of the elbow here or a slip of the mean mug there, though quickly smothered by the pyrotechnics, army of industrial backup dancers, lasers, general swirl of stadium sound and camera work that largely denied the pleasure of seeing all four in formation, in favor of one or two singers at a time. And fair enough – the New York July night was so oppressively humid that I was dripping in sweat just standing there; after the head-banging bombast of Boombayah, all four were forced to acknowledge the air's palpable resistance to any movement, or as de facto spokesperson Rosé put it: 'It is REALLY hot today.' The goodwill of faithful Blinks – fittingly for the band, a stadium of many languages, diehard adults next to awed children with merch-toting parents in tow – largely covered for any lapses, and was rewarded with high-octane delights. New single Jump, making the girl power lineage explicit – 'So come up with me, I'll take you high / That prima donna, spice up your life' – layered itchy club beat, weapons-grade bass and tweaking choreography with lasers, fireworks and smoke for a full dose of undiluted, undeniable hype that got the crowd up. At their best, the siren call of 'Blackpink in your areaaaaaa' remains as potent as ever. Less so with the solo diversions, each introduced with interludes of overdone music video imagery of the luxe life – Vegas and city lights, diamonds and furs – that underscored their relative lack of precision. Jennie delivered obligatory stunting, Jisoo sensible pop, Rosé surprising ballads – her solo section, in which she went full Taylor Swift mode with the guitar, provided the most western-style pop moments of the show. If the solo sections hammered home one impression, it's that Lisa alone, in her dragon-skin suit and formidable sneer, has the jet fuel for a solo career. Also, that as a unit, the members' combined strengths covered their weaknesses like an airtight shield. It was a palpable relief, then, when they reunited following Rosé's turn for the pure force of breakout track DDU-DU DDU-DU, the wattage re-upped by camaraderie and their view of the finish line. Individually, they are pop artists in a crowded field, each neutralized and overwhelmed by the familiar elements around them. Together, they steamroll. And so it was that Sunday's finale of Like Jennie, in which all four came together to perform a song that Jennie just performed solo, briefly showed the stamp of Blackpink magic: the beat rips, the head-bopping with slick glasses is distinctly Jennie, but nothing hits quite like the four of them moving together.
