Valentine's Day is coming up, which means it's time to GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER and make a playlist for your crush/lover/parter/life companion. It's literally the most romantic thing you can do in this silly little day and age of ours! I don't make the rules!
(Hoping to GOD my girlfriend is reading this.)
After all, who can say "I love you" better than musicians and songwriters — the great poets of our time??? From Whitney Houston's rendition of "I Will Always Love You" to "My Chick Bad" by Ludacris (the most romantic song of all time), nothing screams butterflies quite like a good mix.
If you need help getting started (what, you don't like my Ludacris pick?), no fear! Luckily, the cast of Companion is here to give us their fave love songs of all time. Here are 5 super romantic tunes they recommend for your Valentine's Day Playlist:
1. Lukas Gage: "A Moment Like This" by Kelly Clarkson
'My first love song I can remember as a little boy.'
2. Sophie Thatcher: "Go" by Daniel Johnston
"It really tears at you. Even just thinking about it makes me wanna cry! It's really beautiful and reminds me of my boyfriend."
3. Jack Quaid: "You and I" by WILCO

'I think this was the first time I was really into a song, because it made me feel romantic feelings. I was like 13, and it was my first time having a major crush on someone. It's a middle school relationship song, but it's still so romantic."
4. Also from Jack Quaid: "Atlantis" by Donovan

"Me and my partner share music almost constantly — it's kind of the foundation of our flirting. Basically, it's the same refrain over and over again, but we both love it because it's very romantic…and it's in an episode of Futurama."
5. Harvey Guillén: "Be My Baby" by The Ronettes

'Tension' Rises Between Katy Perry And Orlando Bloom Amid Latest Backlash
and are reportedly hitting a few sour notes in their relationship. A new source claims that Katy Perry has been feeling the pressure following the release of her latest album "143," which dropped in September, and it is causing some "tension" with Orlando Bloom. The insider spoke with PEOPLE Magazine, claiming, 'Katy was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album,' they shared. 'It made her very stressed. Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension.' The album, a high-energy, love-fueled dance-pop collection, was designed to be a celebration. 'My vision was to create a bold, exuberant, celebratory dance-pop album with the symbolic 143 numerical expression of love as a throughline message,' Perry explained in a statement at the time, referring to the retro pager code meaning 'I love you.' But not everyone was feeling the love. A second source added, 'She was also disappointed in some of the tour reviews. It's put stress on their relationship.' Despite the criticism, Perry has powered through with a sold-out tour that's been met with enthusiastic fans overseas. After selling out three nights in Mexico, prompting the addition of an extra show, the singer is now performing to packed venues in Australia. The "Lifetimes" tour hits the U.S. beginning July 10 in Denver. As for the negative chatter? Perry isn't letting it define her. Back in February, she spoke candidly to PEOPLE about tuning out the noise. 'You shouldn't read it when it's good. You shouldn't read it when it's bad,' she said. 'My therapist said something that really changed my life. What anybody thinks about you is none of your business. It's what you think about yourself.' She also revealed that "143" was born out of 'a real shift' in her life after becoming a mom to daughter Daisy Dove, whom she welcomed with Bloom in August 2020. 'I really tapped into that feminine divine energy. The messages on it are celebratory. They're about love.' Perry and Bloom have been together for nearly a decade and got engaged on Valentine's Day in 2019. While the couple has weathered ups and downs over the years, Perry recently showed she's still fiercely protective of her man. During her May 17 show at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, the 'Teenage Dream' singer jokingly called out a fan in the audience for sliding into Bloom's DMs. 'Cute grin. I know why you're here,' she teased from the stage before launching into her song 'I'm his, he's mine.' 'Listen, if you keep DM'ing my man... Oh, Kyle? I know, I know. You've been doing it for months, ever since the residency,' she continued. 'If you keep on DM'ing my man, I'm going to have you removed. Seriously, get your own life.' When the fan tried to hand her something, Perry wasn't having it. 'I don't want it. I'm his. I said I'm his. Stay the f-ck away.' Bloom got candid about his relationship with Perry during a 2019 appearance on the "Today" show, emphasizing the importance of being on the same page before walking down the aisle again. 'It's important to me that we are aligned. I've been married and divorced, and I don't want to do it again,' Bloom shared at the time. 'And we're both fully aware of that. She's remarkable and so I'm always so impressed with that and I'm encouraged.' Three years after Orlando Bloom popped the question, Katy Perry opened up about their postponed wedding during an appearance on "The Kyle and Jackie O Show," explaining that the COVID-19 pandemic had put their wedding plans on hold. 'It's a destination location that like, you know, we're still trying for it to work out, but every couple of months it's like, 'New variant! New variant! New variant!'' she said. Last year, Perry opened up about attending couples therapy with Bloom and how it's helped strengthen their bond. Speaking on Chelsea Handler's "Dear Chelsea" podcast, the singer explained that therapy has played a key role in keeping their relationship grounded. 'We love it because it keeps us in tune,' she said. 'The resentment can get really strong when you're both working hard, and so when you want to come back to being normal in a domesticated world where you have a child and stuff like that, you have to really learn how to be kind of different out there in the big and in the small.'

Why Amanda Seyfried is ‘resentful' toward ‘Mean Girls'

Resort-style LA home where Charlie Chaplin once stored his fire truck collection asks $12.5M
Once a parking spot for Charlie Chaplin's fire trucks — yes, fire trucks — this Santa Monica, California hideaway is ready for its next act. Listed for $12.5 million — the home has been completely transformed from silent film-era storage space to tropical-meets-modernist sanctuary, according to Tucked behind what are described in the listing as 'repurposed 500-year-old monastery gates,' the roughly 0.3-acre estate sits discreetly behind an 'innocuous wall,' concealing an 8,000-square-foot residence that blends organic materials with a serene Balinese design sensibility. 25 A historic Santa Monica property, once owned by silent film legend Charlie Chaplin and later transformed by abstract expressionist painter Sam Francis into a vibrant artist hub, is now on the market for $12.5 million. Anthony Barcelo 25 The home is listing for the first time in a decade. Anthony Barcelo 25 Originally Chaplin's garage for his fire truck collection, the 0.3-acre estate was reimagined by architect Christopher Sorensen after a 2007 fire destroyed much of Francis' studio compound. Anthony Barcelo 25 Completed in 2011, the 8,000-square-foot home blends Balinese aesthetics with organic materials like teak and limestone. Anthony Barcelo 25 Charlie Chaplin. Getty Images The site's first act dates back nearly a century, when Chaplin reportedly used the original structure as a garage to house his collection of antique fire trucks, according to a press release. In the decades that followed, the home took on a second life as a creative refuge for abstract expressionist painter Sam Francis. He converted the property into a studio compound, where he lived and played host to a rotating cast of Los Angeles art world luminaries. 25 The home is guarded by 500-year-old repurposed monastery gates.

That chapter came to a fiery end in 2007, when a blaze destroyed much of the original residence Francis had crafted. Four years later, a new home — designed by architect Christopher Sorensen — rose from the ashes, with a focus on natural textures and tranquility. 25 An office. Anthony Barcelo 25 The kitchen.

The five-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom layout includes a flexible floor plan with the option to add more bedrooms. The primary suite features an expansive walk-in closet that doubles as a lounging area, as well as a kitchenette.

The property also includes a three-car garage, a nod — perhaps unintentional — to its earliest fire-truck roots. Environmentally conscious buyers may appreciate the home's solar setup, which includes battery packs capable of delivering 'several weeks of off-grid power.' The listing marks the property's first public appearance in a decade. Frank Langen and Lili Geller of Compass hold the listing. 25 One of 4.5 bathrooms. Anthony Barcelo 25 A second bathroom.

His artistic journey began during recovery from a severe WWII injury, where he found solace and purpose in painting while confined in a full-body cast.
