(Video) Was Katy Perry Hit With Electric Shock During Recent Concert?
Katy Perry's 'Lifetimes Tour' has sparked criticism and concern from fans. Last month, the singer experienced a stage malfunction when the wires of an elevated butterfly prop she was riding on came loose, causing it to drop slightly. Thankfully, the pop star managed to hold on, avoiding what could have been a serious fall. This time, the singer has gone viral once again following another alleged on-stage mishap. A video circulating online shows her ascending from the stage, before she suddenly jolted and left many wondering if she had suffered from an electric shock from the surrounding props. Here's what happened: During her recent concert in Raleigh, North Carolina, a fan captured the moment Katy Perry ascended from the stage while performing 'Artificial'. As she entered an elevated set, the singer, who was portraying an AI robot, appeared to suddenly jerk uncontrollably. Many claimed that the songstress had been shocked by the surrounding prop wires from the set. Fans, and even non-fans, took to social media to express concern over the poor stage setup, noting that there have already been several instances where Katy has almost been injured on stage. Others, however, made light of the situation, joking that the nun who was once involved in a legal dispute with the star, and who tragically died in court during a post-judgment hearing, had come back to haunt her during the tour. Some fans suggested that Katy may not have suffered from an electric shock at all, but that there may be something wrong with her harness as she was ascending. This appears to be the most plausible explanation, as closer inspection of the video shows one of the wires catching on the elevated set before coming free, possibly causing the singer to jolt suddenly. She was even seen checking the left side of her harness with her hand immediately after it happened. Thankfully, Katy Perry was left unharmed. However, it is concerning that such incidents continue to occur during her tour. Perhaps it would be safer for her to remain on the ground for the rest of the shows, or, at the very least, ensure that stage crews carry out thorough safety inspections on all sets and props before showtime.

'Skibidi' added to Cambridge dictionary
Your browser does not support the audio element. LONDON: Words popularised by Gen Z and Gen Alpha including "skibidi", "delulu" and "tradwife" are among 6,000 new entries to the online edition of the Cambridge Dictionary over the last year, said its publisher yesterday. Cambridge University Press said tradwife, a portmanteau of traditional wife, reflected "a growing, controversial Instagram and TikTok trend that embraces traditional gender roles". The dictionary also took on the challenge of defining skibidi, a word popularised in online memes, as a term which had "different meanings such as cool or bad, or can be used with no real meaning". The gibberish word was spread by a YouTube channel called "Skibidi Toilet" and is associated with the mindless, "brain rot" content found on social media and consumed by Gen Alpha's overwhelmingly digital lifestyle. The dictionary defined delulu, derived from the word delusional, as "believing things that are not real or true, usually because you choose to". As an example, it cited a 2025 speech in Parliament where Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese used the phrase "delulu with no solulu". "It's not every day you get to see words like skibidi and delulu make their way into the Cambridge Dictionary," said Colin McIntosh, Lexical Programme manager at the Cambridge Dictionary. "We only add words where we think they'll have staying power. Internet culture is changing the English language and the effect is fascinating to observe and capture in the dictionary." Other new phrases include "lewk", used to describe a unique fashion look and popularised by RuPaul's Drag Race, and "inspo", short for inspiration. Work from home culture has given rise to "mouse jiggler", referring to a way to pretend to work when you are not. There is also "forever chemical", man-made chemicals that stay in the environment for years and have gained traction as concerns grow about the irreversible impact of climate change on the health of humans and the planet.

Jet Li sparks health concerns after sharing video from hospital bed
Jet Li sparked concern on Aug 17 after sharing a video of himself in a hospital bed. Photos: Jet Li/Weibo, Jet Li/Douyin China-born action superstar Jet Li raised health concerns after posting a video of himself in a hospital bed on Sunday (Aug 17). In the clip shared on Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, the 62-year-old was seen resting with IV drips attached. The actor didn't disclose the reason for his hospitalisation, simply captioning the post: 'I've recently faced another unexpected challenge.' Li, who now holds Singaporean citizenship, also shared on Weibo a photo taken in a corridor outside what appeared to be an operating room. "There's a problem with my hardware, so I sent it back to the factory for repair... Don't worry too much about me," he wrote. The photos quickly went viral on social media, drawing an outpouring of well wishes and prayers for his recovery. Industry sources later reassured fans that Li's condition isn't serious and that he's only undergoing short-term treatment. 'It's just a small benign tumour, once removed there's nothing to worry about,' a source close to the actor told Chinese media. In a Weibo update on Monday (Aug 18), Li shared a photo of himself enjoying some noodles, revealing that he has already been discharged. "Thank you again for your thoughts and blessings. I'm sorry for worrying everyone. I've left the factory and am eating something delicious," he wrote in the captions. Li was first diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in 2010. While the condition initially left him looking frail, the Romeo Must Die (2000) star later reassured fans that his illness was manageable with medication. Over the years, Li's changing appearance led to constant speculations about his health – including multiple death hoaxes. During his first public appearance in years in November 2023, Li said he was surprised so many people believed those rumours.
