Katy Perry says Los Angeles belongs to Mexico; X users ask her to shut up, remind her she's an 'astronaut', not a historian
Pop star supported the Los Angeles riots and said illegal migrants are being hunted like criminals in their ancestral home while Los Angeles is basically a Mexican city. Social media users asked her to shut up and reminded her that he recent Blue Origin flight into the space makes her an 'astronaut' but not a historian. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In a series of Instagram stories, Katy Perry shared what she felt about the riots and how a deep injustice is being done to the people who built the city. "Los Angeles has lived under three flags: Spain, Mexico, and the United States. That land has seen borders shift, power, change, hands, and yet the people, especially the brown and indigenous people, have always been there. Planting roots, building lives, raising families,' the message said. 'And now, in 2025 the descendants of those same communities are being hunted, like criminals and their own ancestral home. ' 'It's more than infuriating, it's a deep injustice. How can a city built on Mexican labor, Mexican history and Mexican culture turn around and criminalize the very people who shaped it?' the post added. 'This was once Mexican land, and the people being targeted today are often descendants of those who have lived here for generations, or who came seeking safety, work, and dignity,' the message said. 'Many undocumented immigrants are quietly holding up the economy with their labor, raising families, paying taxes, and contributing to communities, yet they are vilified and dignity.' "REMINDER: Katy Perry is an astronaut, not a historian," one post mockingly said. "@katyperry thinks Mexico and Spain are the same place.," another wrote. "A reminder that Hollywood airheads are just that. Clueless #KatyPerry, or her media flack, doesn't know that in 1781, there was no such thing as Mexico. It was New Spain (the Virreinato de Nueva España), part of the Spanish Empire," a third user said.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's daughter Zahara spotted with ring: Engaged to actor Elijah Cooper?
It was a quiet Monday evening in Los Angeles - until one diamond ring caused the internet to go into overdrive. Zahara , daughter of Hollywood heavyweights Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, stepped out for a casual dinner. But what caught everyone's attention wasn't just the company she kept. It was the glint on her ring finger. The 20-year-old college student has become the latest to spark engagement speculation after being photographed with a mysterious ring during an outing with actor Elijah Cooper. Social media hasn't stopped buzzing since photos of her outing dropped. Zahara was seen exiting Craig's, a popular Hollywood restaurant, keeping her look understated - baseball cap pulled low, a brown leather purse over her shoulder, and a subtle necklace. But it was the diamond ring on her left hand that did all the talking. Photos, obtained by Page Six, showed her getting into the passenger seat of a car driven by Elijah Cooper. He, too, kept things casual with a backwards snapback and monochrome T-shirt. Angelina Jolie and her family haven't issued any statement in response to the engagement buzz. But the coordinated outing and visible ring have set the rumor mill spinning. According to his Instagram bio, he's an actor based in Los Angeles and a student at Morehouse College in Atlanta. He also co-founded Tints, a streetwear brand. More telling, however, is the fact that he follows Zahara's private Instagram account - a detail fans quickly noticed. Zahara, one of six children shared by Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, has largely kept her personal life away from the spotlight. But this rare public moment, captured on camera, has brought her firmly into the conversation. Zahara has remained close to her mother through the years, especially during and after her divorce from Brad Pitt. In 2023, she made headlines for dropping 'Pitt' from her name while joining Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, making a clear statement of support. She's also been seen accompanying Angelina Jolie to various events, including the Women in Training Inc.'s annual Mother-Daughter Brunch this March. Before that, the two were photographed shopping together in Paris. As for her relationship with her father, Brad Pitt, public appearances or acknowledgements have been rare. 1. Is Zahara engaged?Nothing's confirmed yet. But the diamond ring on her left hand during the date has certainly stirred speculation. 2. Who is Elijah Cooper?He's a Los Angeles-based actor who attends Morehouse College. Cooper co-founded a streetwear label. He also follows Zahara's private Instagram. 3. What is Zahara doing now?She's currently in college, recently joined a sorority and continues to maintain a close bond with her mother, Angelina Jolie.
