Camila Cabello Trolls Katy Perry's Space Stunt With Zero-Gravity TikTok
The 'I Luv It' singer took to TikTok to share her version of a tour announcement, which has garnered attention from Camila Cabello's fan base.
Cabello is seen standing in front of a red wall, holding a poster with her tour dates while floating in slow motion.
'Didn't have the budget to fly to space to promote my tour dates, so I made this TikTok instead,' she quipped in text over the video, mimicking zero gravity. She added a playful caption aimed directly at Perry, '@Katy Perry hehehe ily.'
The post is a not-so-subtle jab at the "Firework" singer's headline-making 11-minute Blue Origin space ride on April 14, where Perry unveiled a butterfly-shaped paper that supposedly revealed her "Lifetimes" tour setlist.
Fans couldn't hold back after seeing the video, with one of her followers expressing, "not her moving like she was in space [skull emoji]."
Another said, "Girl, you ate," as a third wrote, "You're too funny."
A fourth commented, "This is so funny, welcome back Camila."
Cabello's video landed just as her "Yours, C" tour gears up to kick off June 21 at the Starlite Occident Festival in Marbella, Spain. She'll hit Europe, Asia, Australia, and South America before wrapping things up on September 14 in São Paulo, Brazil.
The tour supports her 2024 album "C XOXO," which features singles like 'He Knows' and 'Hot Uptown," and marks her first tour in over seven years.
While Camila kept things lighthearted, Perry's space antics haven't exactly been received with open arms.
The 'I Kissed a Girl' hitmaker was part of an all-female crew that included Lauren Sánchez and Gayle King, but her emotional post-flight display, where she kissed the ground, waved a daisy, and declared she felt 'super connected to love," has drawn some serious side-eye.
'It's not about singing my songs. It's about a collective energy in there. It's about us. It's about making space for future women and taking up space and belonging,' Perry said in a flowery post-flight interview. 'This is all for the benefit of Earth.'
Critics weren't having it, especially in light of two NASA astronauts who were actually stranded in space for nine months.
PR expert Eric Schiffer didn't mince words when speaking to Daily Mail, claiming Perry's brand 'is vibe surfing the toilet drain faster than Blue Origin re-entered the atmosphere.'
'Katy went to space, but she still couldn't find her lost fanbase,' he added. 'She may soon need a telescope to see her career from here.'
Model went off on TikTok, saying, 'That space mission this morning? That's end time sh-t. Like, this is beyond parody.'
And she wasn't alone. reposted a scathing Guardian op-ed titled, 'The Blue Origin flight showcased the utter defeat of American feminism,' while straight-up questioned the point of the whole thing.
According to insiders, Perry is now reportedly 'regretting' the whole kissing-the-ground bit and those in-capsule camera moments where she held a daisy to the lens, teased her tour setlist, and sang 'What a Wonderful World' while floating in microgravity.
Katy Perry just launched her "Lifetimes" tour, and she didn't waste any time firing back at the critics who slammed her Blue Origin space flight. The pop star took her opening night in Mexico City as a chance to reclaim her narrative, and she did it in full intergalactic glam.
The 40-year-old 'Dark Horse' singer strutted onto the stage in a reflective silver bodysuit, channeling full space diva energy as she soared above the crowd, snapped selfies with dancers dressed in NASA-blue suits, and recreated scenes inspired by her real-life space voyage.
And in case fans thought she was going to ignore the controversy, Perry grabbed the mic and asked the crowd directly, 'Has anyone ever called your dreams crazy?' a not-so-subtle nod to the online firestorm.

Woman Tattoos 'Scannable' Red Bull Barcode on Her Forearm but Reveals It's Not Actually Her Favorite Drink (Exclusive)
NEED TO KNOW A Swiss woman got a Red Bull barcode tattooed on her forearm — and it works in retail locations across the country At the time, Dew was working retail and had to strategically place the tattoo so she wouldn't accidentally scan it while ringing up customers "I have A LOT of tattoo plans," she shares. "If I had the money, I would be covered all over"Dew, a 22-year-old Swiss woman, quickly went viral on TikTok when she shared a video of herself buying a Red Bull. But instead of scanning the can's barcode, Dew whipped out her upper forearm and scanned her tattoo instead — and sure enough, the sale went through. Now, she's opening up to PEOPLE about the tattoo's functionality and the wide range of opinions it seems to evoke. It started as a joke — Dew, whose hair is dyed purple and whose skin is already populated with tattoos, occasionally encountered rude people who dubbed her appearance as "emo" and asked if she had "barcodes," or scars on her arms. Dew wanted a funny and effective reply to those comments, and thus, she chose the Red Bull barcode. In February 2024, around the time she got the tattoo, Dew was working a retail job and often manned the checkout, she tells PEOPLE. She decided to get the tattoo close to the inside of her elbow, so she could scan it when she wanted but not have to worry about accidentally scanning it while working, she says. Contrary to popular belief, though, Red Bull isn't Dew's favorite caffeine source. "I like Red Bull a lot, [though] I do admit its not my favorite energy drink," she shares. "However, Red Bull is quite silly and I thought this tattoo is silly, so why not?" In terms of function, the bar code does work consistently, and is accepted at retail locations across Switzerland, she revealed in a TikTok following her viral video. Sometimes she has to pull or spread her skin out, but otherwise it's "pretty easily scannable," she says. Her family likes the tattoo, mostly because there's a worm that wraps around the barcode as a fun decoration. She says the worm is actually inspired by a "silly doodle" that her sister once made that she adapted to fit in with the tattoo. Her friends are supportive for the most part, while others see the choice as "a bit insane." In addition to the barcode, Dew also has a tattoo of a screaming alpaca, as well as a lemon with the inscription, "lemonade 100% lemon, 0% sugar, 0% ade, just Lemon." She also has a little "L" on her left thumb and an "R" on her right thumb, plus a Legend of Zelda design and a burning moth. "I have A LOT of tattoo plans," she shares. "If I had the money, I would be covered all over." Read the original article on People

Author Jenny Han talks directorial debut and whether she is Team Conrad or Team Jeremiah
Jenny Han, author of "The Summer I Turned Pretty" trilogy, has officially stepped into her director era. The credits to one episode of Prime Video's hottest summer shows read like a creative mic drop: "Directed by: Jenny Han. Teleplay by: Jenny Han. Created by: Jenny Han. Based on the novel by: Jenny Han. Executive Producer: Jenny Han." "It was really funny," Han says, reflecting on Episode 5 of Season 3, titled "Last Dance." "I think it was during post and we were all laughing. But you know what? You've got to take up space for the work that you do." 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' warns fandom to keep itself in check this summer For those who don't watch "The Summer I Turned Pretty" and have avoided the corners of TikTok besotted with Conrad or Jeremiah, the show is a coming-of-age romance that follows Isabel "Belly" Conklin to a summer beach home where she finds first love, heartbreak and self-discovery while caught in a love triangle with two brothers. Han wrote the trilogy published in 2009, 2010 and 2011 while listening to Taylor Swift's album "Fearless." And the megastar's marketing team, Taylor Nation, posts about the show annually on social media. The show has featured "False God," "The Way I Loved You," "This Love," "Last Kiss," "Hey Stephen," "Invisible String," "Sweet Nothing," "Delicate," "Snow on the Beach," "Bigger Than the Whole Sky," "Exile" and "You're Losing Me." Director's cut Clad in a pink and white tweed dress with silver-studded straps, the author says the Aug. 6 episode marked the first − and only − time she directed on the series. But when asked if she'll direct again, she replies, "I would love to." Han also writes the screenplays, produces and pops up in the occasional cameo. In Season 1, Han donned a red dress at the debutante ball. In Season 2, she bought wine at a gas station. As for this season, she teases: "I do have a cameo, except it's just my voice. I don't think anyone's going to figure this one out. I myself was like, 'Is that me?'" So why did she pick Episode 5 to direct? Well, because of the peaches. "The peaches scene was one that people had been waiting for the whole show to see," Han says of the sexually charged moment between Conrad and Belly at a roadside fruit stand. "I wanted to treat it really carefully," she says. The other reason is because fans finally get a glimpse into Conrad's mind. Actor Christopher Briney narrates the older brother's inner monologue. "We haven't really been able to fully understand what he's thinking until now," Han says. She hired a professional artist to help her storyboard the entire episode. "Even though I had written it and read it a million times, there was something new I was finding on the page every single time I looked at the script," she says. "New thoughts that I was having, like, 'Oh, maybe I'll do this or that.' And I think that made it feel very exciting and fresh for me, like its own sort of creative wellspring." But even meticulous planning couldn't predict when wildflowers would bloom. "With the peaches scene, we had to reschedule three times," she says. "They still hadn't bloomed yet, so we kept coming back and checking on them, and it was like a dirt patch. But finally at go time, they were blooming perfectly." Conrad or Jeremiah? How 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' books end Two blockbuster franchises Han, 44, is no stranger to storytelling success. She also wrote the wildly popular series "To All the Boys I've Loved Before," which spawned its own blockbuster Netflix adaptations. While none of Swift's songs appeared in the "To All the Boys" films, Han wrote a letter to the Eras Tour singer requesting to use a track for "The Summer I Turned Pretty." Swift has delivered year after year. "Her team is awesome," Han says. "We've been so lucky to have her music on the show every season. And that's the biggest gift of all. It's a gift to me as a fan, but it's also a gift to the original book readers and all the people who are fans of the show." Pretty timeless Han's writing remains the beating heart of the series, drawing in fans young and old. "People watch it with their grandpas, people watch it with their wives or their daughters," she says. "I've heard from guys who felt Conrad's anxiety really resonated with them. And also losing a parent I think is very universal." There's something indelible about how the series connects with millennial women, those who first read the books as teens and now watch them as adults. "The fact they're still here and they're still really resonating with the story is so special to me," Han says. How did Han think of Belly? One enduring mystery among fans is how the main character got her name. "I was a nanny at the time and the girl that I was babysitting for had a friend named Isabel, I think," Han says. "And I believe people called her Belly. They were really young when she had that nickname, and I thought it was very cute." Han says Belly's best friend, Taylor, is not named after Swift. Is Jenny Han writing a new novel? Amid the success, one lingering question remains: Is Han working on a new manuscript? "I would love to be able to sit down and write a new book," she says, acknowledging she hasn't written an unreleased novel. At least, not yet. "It's just a very different headspace to be in," she says, adding that her time and energy has been fully consumed by the drama at Cousins Beach. And if you're wondering what team Han is on − Jeremiah or Conrad − she's diplomatic. "I think all the characters are dear to me, so I really couldn't pick favorites," she says. "Team Belly, for sure."

Millennial Charmed by 1800s Apartment, so She Buys It—Then Regret Sets In
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. A video of a Canadian woman living in Scotland sharing her regret over buying a 19th-century flat that turned out to have significant dampness problems has gone viral on TikTok. The video was posted by Tayce (@tayceomoni), a millennial mom in her 30s, and has amassed 112,000 views since it was shared on August 10. Text over the clip reads: "I just bought this 1800s flat and I hate it," before showing various parts of the two-bedroom property in a surrounding area of Glasgow, which she purchased on August 1. In the video, Tayce begins with a candid admission: "I made a huge mistake. I absolutely hate just bought a two-bedroom flat in Scotland, I was charmed by the high ceilings, the wood floors and the heritage vibes. Turns out I missed the fine print—it's actually really damp and that means it kind of smells moldy in my daughter's room." Speaking to Newsweek, Tayce explained her initial attraction to the property. "When I saw it, I loved the high ceilings, the old detailing and the wood floors. I love Victorian and Georgian homes. We decided to buy it due to the low cost and the opportunity to own an old flat," she said. A screenshot from a viral video of a Canadian woman sharing her regret over purchasing an 1800s home with a damp issue. A screenshot from a viral video of a Canadian woman sharing her regret over purchasing an 1800s home with a damp issue. @tayceomoni on TikTok She acknowledged that she had been aware of some issues: "I read it was damp in the home report, but I did not think it was a huge deal, as I realize most old flats will have some dampness. I realized I hated it when I smelled the moldy or musty smell in one of the bedrooms that I hadn't noticed before." Her experience comes at a time when many home buyers face difficult housing decisions. According to a 2024 report from the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University, millions of Americans have been "priced out of the market by elevated home prices and interest rates." The report found that home prices surged in 97 of the top 100 markets, with especially steep increases in the northeast and Midwest regions. For Tayce, the reality of the property's condition quickly set in. "I had post home buying anxiety when the gravity of the amount of work needed hit me for real," she told Newsweek. "I felt like I wished I'd just bought something easier, even though I do admire how beautiful the flat is and can be. I'd like to change the room and bathroom the most." Her TikTok video shows the start of renovations in some parts of the home. She says in the clip: "So, we're living in chaos right now while we try to renovate this...I have no just pulling off the gonna go from there and pray for the best." Despite her frustration, Tayce maintains a sense of determination. In the video, she says: "You don't need to tell me how dumb I am because I already know. I feel terrible. I feel worthless. I'm in a major all-time low. But I will never stop being optimistic, so here goes trying to fix this..." Do you have a home interior-related video or story to share?
