Katy Perry reacts as fan storms stage during concert: 'What the hell is going on?!'
A fan really didn't want to go-oh after storming the stage during a recent Katy Perry concert.
When Perry was performing her hit song "Hot N Cold" at the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia, on Monday night, a fan rushed onto the stage to dance next to her. The singer appeared visibly shocked in a fan video posted to social media as the man put his arm around her and began jumping up and down.
After freezing for a second, Perry spun around to create distance from the man as she kept singing the lyrics to "Hot N Cold." The stage crasher then began to perform the floss dance move before security rushed onstage to escort him off.
As the man resisted, Perry said into the microphone, "Well, there's never going to be another show like it, so just enjoy it, Sydney." She sang a few more lyrics before shouting into the mic, "What the hell is going on?!"
This is just the latest concert mishap for the singer throughout her tour, after she nearly suffered a major wardrobe malfunction while performing at the Las Vegas stop when the clasp on her bejeweled brassiere appeared to break.
"Oh s‑‑‑, my bra's gonna come off," Perry said to the crowd. Eventually, she called to an assistant in the wings named Patrick to "put my bra back on."
Last month, Perry abruptly stopped performing midsong at her Houston stop to call out the haters on social media who had been making fun of the way she over-enunciated her words in her 2008 ballad "Thinking of You." As fans in the crowd sang the song's lyrics at her during a break, Perry looked directly at them captured in videos posted to TikTok. "I'm not going to do it," she said.
But then she launched directly into the second verse of "Thinking of You," which recently went viral on TikTok as users filmed themselves lip-synching, "You're like an Indian summer in the middle of winter, like a hard candy with a surprise center," while making exaggerated, hilarious facial expressions. During the concert, Perry sang those exact lines, complete with exaggerated facial expressions of her own. But she cut it off after the words "candy with a" to declare to the crowd, "I don't sing like that."Perry is currently on the Australian leg of her Lifetimes World Tour, during which she has been performing the music from her seventh studio album, 143, since April. The tour will conclude Dec. 7 in the United Arab Emirates.

Man, 34, Has Message for Gen Zers Who Think He's Old
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A millennial has gone viral for reminding Gen Z that their elders aren't exactly ancient. Mike Mancusi (@mikemancusi), 34, and a comedian who works in tech sales from New York City, posted a TikTok that quickly gained traction with viewers. The video, which resonated with both millennials and Gen Zers, stemmed from what Mancusi calls a broader social observation rather than a specific encounter. "It honestly wasn't any incident or specific interaction I had with an individual. I'm just a comedian and make societal observations," Mancusi told Newsweek. "I feel like Gen Zers tie a lot of their identity to their youth and look at millennials as the elder wise men, and wise women. And, while I do appreciate that, I'm also just, like, we're only, like, five years from where you are. We're not Gandalf. But also, I'm sure every single generation feels this way about the younger generation. I seriously doubt this is a unique generational relationship," Mancusi added. In his video, which garnered more than 30,700 likes and over 314,000 views, Mancusi reflects on his experience interacting with people in their early- to mid-twenties. He said he often feels the urge to shake them and shout, "I'm not that far off from you," because there is often a sense of generational arrogance—one he admits he also had at that age. Mancusi said that people in their early twenties tend to view 34 as a distant, mature stage of life, but in reality: "The only way that you don't become me soon is if you die." He added that life moves quickly, and that realization can be unsettling. Mancusi said the core of his message comes from personal experience—particularly the shock of how fast time seems to pass after 25. This awareness, he added, can spiral into anxiety about making the most of life, chasing dreams, and the fleeting nature of it all. Still, he said he wants younger people to take away one thing: "YOU ARE NOT OLD. I'M NOT EVEN OLD." Mancusi warned against rushing into adulthood just because college is over. Instead, he encourages people to pursue passion-driven work, even if it means doing it on the side while holding a job that pays the bills. He added that, without a creative or fulfilling outlet, people risk slowly "crushing" their own spirits as they age. "I think Gen Zers are mostly just, like, 'Shut up old man,' and millennials are, like, 'Listen to him,'" he said, noting a generational split in how his message is received. Mancusi added that, while he used to be insecure about aging, he has grown to appreciate his 30s, calling the decade fulfilling, despite larger societal issues such as the pandemic and political turmoil. Mancusi also said there has been a major generational shift in how younger people view work. He added that millennials were the last generation sold on the idea that traditional 9-to-5 jobs equaled stability and success.

While millennials often "shrug that kind of stuff off," Gen Zers push back. Finally, Mancusi stressed the importance of health. He said he wants younger people to know that aging doesn't have to mean physical decline—but only if you start taking care of yourself early. "Take care of it, and you can and will age better," he said, citing meditation, stress reduction, and regular exercise as vital habits. "I'm in my 30s and in the best shape of my life." Viewers across TikTok quickly jumped into the comments with their own takes. "Gonna be 37 in August and I was 26 two months ago," wrote one user named Lex. "Gen Z personality is literally that they're young," posted another. "One minute you're 27 & two seconds later you're 32," added Amber Brookes. Others reflected on the generational divide with a mix of amusement and frustration. "As a core millennial when I was early 20s I thought mid 30s was kinda old … but I wasn't obsessed with it," commented a user named Evan. Another person posted: "Yeah talked with someone who's 25, I'm 32, and they said: your generation will never understand. We 7 years apart!!! We were in same school in the same time."

Netflix just added an 'underrated' crime thriller show that's already crashed the top 10 — and there are 6 seasons to binge-watch now
Thriller fans are being well-served by Netflix this month. Along with NBC's "Blindspot," the streaming service recently welcomed family crime thriller "Animal Kingdom" to the platform — and it looks to be a hit with streamers. For the uninitiated, "Animal Kingdom" is a gritty drama that originally ran for six seasons between 2016 and 2022, airing on TNT in the U.S. It's based on the 2010 Australian movie of the same name, and throws us in with a chaotic, dysfunctional family who operate a criminal enterprise out of Southern California. "Animal Kingdom" was one of the many new things added to Netflix at the start of the month, and it's been a mainstay in the Netflix Top 10 ever since. Over a week after it arrived, it's still sitting at the #7 spot, not far behind Netflix Originals like "The Survivors," "Ginny & Georgia" and "Sirens." Trying to decide whether to stream "Animal Kingdom" on Netflix? You can find a little more info about the show and hear what viewers have to say about the streamer's new arrival. TNT's "Animal Kingdom" is a crime drama based on the 2010 Australian movie of the same name. The show revolves around the Cody family. We follow young Joshua "J" Cody ("Peaky Blinders" star Finn Cole), who moves in with his estranged relatives after his mother dies of an overdose The Codys, as it turns out, run a criminal enterprise out of Oceanside, California, with J's tough grandmother Janine "Smurf" Cody (Ellen Barkin) at the helm. The dysfunctional Cody dynasty funds its lifestyle through (among other things) heists, and J's quickly sucked into this dangerous criminal world of shifting loyalties and secrets. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. In addition to Cole and Barkin, "Animal Kingdom" also stars Scott Speedman, Shawn Hatosy, Ben Robson, Jake Weary, Molly Gordon and Carolina Guerra, among others. "Animal Kingdom" comes reasonably well-recommended. While the series doesn't have a complete critics' rating on the review aggregate site, Rotten Tomatoes, the first two seasons hold ratings of 76% and 80%, respectively, with the site's consensus on the first season reading: "Bolstered by Ellen Barkin's acting prowess, 'Animal Kingdom' is a darkly intriguing, although occasionally predictable, twisted family drama." Fellow viewers, however, rate it significantly higher; the show has an average Popcornmeter rating of 87% and has drawn some very high praise for the acting, the (occasionally predictable) twists and more. Comparisons to "Sons of Anarchy" seem common, too. The show's subreddit is being taken over by newcomers who've stumbled onto "Animal Kingdom" now that it's on Netflix, talking it up, while original fans have been discussing rewatching the show from the start, or hoping that the drama finally gets the reception they believe it's always deserved. Looking through reactions in both places, I've seen the word "underrated" thrown around plenty of times, so I'm not too surprised to see "Animal Kingdom" has continued to be a top Netflix watch in the days since its arrival on the platform. I only just started streaming the show myself (it passed me by the first time around), so I wouldn't want to give my own "Animal Kingdom" verdict just yet. However, from the position of being an "Animal Kingdom" newcomer, I can say that I'm intrigued by what I've seen so far, and I'm keen to see what trouble lies ahead for J, Smurf and the rest of the Cody family across these six seasons. If you're between Netflix binges and you're looking to sink your teeth into a gritty family thriller, one that boasts a cast of very questionable characters, then it certainly feels like "Animal Kingdom" will fit the bill just fine. And with dozens of episodes available to watch right now, it should keep you busy for some time. Not sold on streaming "Animal Kingdom?" We can still help you find your next must-watch show.

Carnival Cruise Line shares new warning for parents
For many families with kids, the summer break from school is a time to let loose and relax the rules. But as more carefree families board cruise ships this summer for family vacations at sea, Carnival Cruise Line wants to make sure cruise rules aren't forgotten as families have fun. Related: Carnival Cruise Line shares dress code enforcement plans With a recent uptick in cruise fights among Carnival and other cruise lines' passengers, you can't blame them. Not only have multiple cruise passenger fights and violent incidents recently made the news, but the cruise line also often receives complaints from loyal cruisers about unsupervised kids creating disturbances aboard its ships. Although some cruisers like to complain about the small stuff like passengers not following dress codes, most cruisers say they don't care what other passengers do aboard the ship. That view changes, though, when passenger behavior - like unsupervised children running around the ship - directly impacts their cruise experience. Sign up for the Come Cruise With Me newsletter to save money on your next (or your first) cruise. "Other people only affect me with their behavior if it is directly offensive, rude, disrespectful, or aggressive to or near me. Such as having my door decorations torn down and left destroyed in the hallway, or being run down by unruly children running through the pool deck during the movie. Yes, this has happened to me," Pat Brown Parkent shared in a recent discussion about passenger behavior on Carnival Cruise Line Brand Ambassador John Heald's popular Facebook page. In the discussion, other passengers also pointed out ways that kids running around the ship have negatively impacted their cruise experiences. "Teens running down the stairs ran into me and almost knocked me down. They never stopped or apologized, just kept on running and laughing," Gina Mann Miller added. Related: Carnival Cruise Line bans TikTok influencer after booze scam Some passengers say parents should be held accountable for their kids' behavior on a cruise. Although kids are required to be supervised on Carnival cruise ships, this rule hasn't always been strictly enforced. But to help improve the overall passenger experience as more families come aboard its ships this summer, the cruise line is now stepping up efforts to enforce this and other important cruise rules. As the summer cruise season begins, passengers report receiving a new letter that Carnival is placing inside each stateroom on embarkation day. This letter reminds passengers of some of the cruise line's "Have Fun. Be Safe" guidelines that are part of its code of conduct, including rules related to child supervision.

In keeping with our Carnival Values, we urge you to show care and respect for others, including our team members," the letter emphasizes. "Our experience has taught us that everyone has a better time when a spirit of community and neighborliness is shown by all." The first guideline listed in the letter shows that the cruise line believes that supervising children is a vital part of that. "Children must always be supervised," the cruise line states under a curfew rule reminder. "Guests 17 and under must be out of public areas by 1 a.m. unless accompanied by an adult (21 years of age or older) from their traveling party. This is strictly enforced."

"Please refrain from running and making noise (including shouting/screaming) in hallways, since doing so disrupts other guests who may be resting/sleeping in their staterooms." Additionally, the letter outlines Carnival's rules related to personal devices, handheld fans and beverages on dance floors, illegal narcotics, and smoking. The cruise line stresses that passengers who don't follow these guidelines risk being banned from cruising with Carnival. "Any guest who violates these policies or whose conduct affects the comfort, enjoyment, safety or well-being of other guests and crew will be fined, disembarked at their own expense, and banned from sailing on Carnival in the future."
