Katy Perry helps young fan after she collapsed onstage
During the Detroit stop on her ongoing Lifetimes world tour, Perry, 40, brought a group of people on stage with her for the rare opportunity to help perform her 2011 song The One That Got Away.
The Firework singer began handing the fans shakers they could use during the performance, and noticed one girl in particular was looking visibly overwhelmed.
'Breathe,' Perry could be heard telling her, in a video shared on X.
Seconds later, the girl, who was later revealed to be named McKenna, fell to the floor as Perry swiftly knelt beside her.
The mother-of-one waited with McKenna until medics arrived onstage.
'I've never seen any artist handle such situation better than katy perry did tonight, paused the show & stayed with the fan even after medics came. truly an angel,' a concert goer wrote online.
Later in the show, while performing her number 1 hit song Roar, Perry told the audience 'McKenna is doing great, by the way!'
It comes after Perry's rumoured new love interest, former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau, was seen at her concert in Montreal last week.
Trudeau's 16-year-old daughter Ella-Grace, was also at the show.
The unlikely pair first sparked romance reports late last month after they were spotted on a dinner date in Montreal.
Perry and husband Orlando Bloom announced their separation on July 3 following weeks of split speculation.
They were together for nine years, and share four-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove.
'Due to the abundance of recent interest and conversation surrounding Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry's relationship, representatives have confirmed that Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting,' representatives said.
'They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is — and always will be — raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect.'
Trudeau, for his part, split from his ex-wife Sophie Grégorie in 2023 after 18 years together.

South Park goes after Donald Trump again, as well as top ally Kristi Noem, in the second episode of its new season
The comedy show South Park has doubled down on its quite ruthless mockery of Donald Trump and his second presidential administration. The long-running program, known for both its vulgarity and a willingness to skewer pretty much anyone, began its newest season with a wildly provocative episode last month. Mr Trump was portrayed as an echo of the show's Saddam Hussein character, with a high-pitched voice, thin skin, tiny genitalia, and a tendency to threaten lawsuits against anyone who noticed said smallness. Oh, and he was dating Satan, who in South Park's universe is actually quite a nice guy, with the unfortunate habit of falling for toxic boyfriends. This all sounds mad if you have never seen the show, I'm aware. It's probably still mad if you have seen it. But having just signed a new deal with Paramount, worth well over a billion dollars, creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone appear to be cutting even looser than usual. Today's second episode shifted its focus to two targets: Mr Trump's crackdown on immigrants, and the increasing influence of right-wing media grifters like Charlie Kirk, who was singled out for particular scorn. Mr Kirk is a co-founder of Turning Point USA, an organisation which seeks to spread conservative views among young people. He's also a podcaster. And like a great many podcasters, he is the sort of obnoxious human being South Park delights in mocking. The episode showed one of the students of South Park Elementary School, Clyde Donovan, cashing in on modern outrage culture as a 'master debater'. I presume I don't need to explain the pun there. And it showed the school's beloved resident psychopath, Eric Cartman, raging at Clyde for stealing his 'shtick'. One scene, as an example: Clyde sets up a booth at school and broadcasts an event called 'Watch as Clyde Donovan totally destroys these woke liberal students'. 'Looks like a lot of whiny babies have a problem with what I say, so ... prove me wrong,' the child says. 'You said nothing good ever came of the Jews, but if that's true, why are the bagels so yummy?' another character, the perpetually innocent Butters, asks him. 'Well you've obviously been taught by the Jews to have a problem with this school and with America, so let me ask you this: what is your definition of a woman?' Clyde shoots back. Cartman eventually usurps the scene. That's the B-plot. The A-plot involves school counsellor Mr Mackey losing his job, and in his desperation to pay his bills, taking a new one with America's immigration enforcement agency, ICE. He's immediately assigned to raid a Dora the Explorer concert under the leadership of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, whose face keeps drooping and falling off in a rather cruel dig at her volume of plastic surgery. She also keeps shooting dogs, perceiving them as threats – maybe doming half a dozen throughout the episode – in a reference to the time the real Ms Noem shot her family's dog in a gravel pit after she grew tired of its behaviour. Mr Mackey is also involved in a subsequent raid on heaven, where the ICE agents explicitly target 'brown' angels. Ms Noem is so impressed by Mr Mackey's performance that she commends him to Mr Trump, who invites him to his Florida resort, Mar-a-Lago. The President and Vice President J.D. Vance are portrayed as parodies of characters from the television series Fantasy Island, wearing white suits. I know nothing of that series, and cannot offer any pithy remarks as a result. I would offer you an image from the moment when Mr Vance, who is miniature sized, offers to ... ahem ... prepare Satan for sex with Mr Trump. But the President's little cartoon genitals are out at that point. So never mind. Anyway, Mr Mackey gets freaked out and starts opening random rooms in Mar-a-Lago. In one, he finds an old man being massaged by young-looking girls – a reference to the Jeffrey Epstein case that probably obliges me to say that there's no evidence Mr Trump was ever aware of, let alone involved in, Epstein's crimes. A second room shows the recently detained Dora the Explorer doing a massage. And a third reveals Clyde, who has been rewarded for his 'master debating' but feels rather bad about it. He and Mr Mackey share a moment of mutual empathy. Perhaps not an obviously outrageous ending, on par with the first episode's. But enough to build anticipation for the next one, you daresay.

Inside Shannen Doherty's $14m+ longtime mansion
Shannen Doherty's longtime Malibu mansion has hit the market for $US9.5 million ($A14.6 million) — just over a year after her death. The 'Beverly Hills 90210' star died at the age of 53 after a year-long battle with cancer. Described as her personal 'sanctuary', the actress snapped up the estate in 2004 for $2.56 million ($A3.93 million), Realtor reports. It was the home where she was able to escape the hustle and bustle of Hollywood during her lengthy cancer battle. According to the Wall Street Journal, the property has been put on the market by the 'Charmed' star's longtime friend, real estate agent Chris Cortazzo, who is also serving as the executor of Doherty's estate. Speaking to the outlet, Mr Cortazzo — who met Doherty in the 1990s after she went to view one of his listings — revealed how the actress first fell in love with the property, noting that she was most drawn to the privacy offered at the elegant estate. 'When you're a notable figure, your home becomes your sanctuary,' he explained — adding that Doherty would regularly host her 'very close, intimate circle of friends' at the house, where she threw Italian Night every week, as well as a Dancing Night. Mr Cortazzo revealed that, because the actress had no children, the profits from the sale of her home will go to her mother, Rosa. Doherty was legally still married to her third husband, photographer Kurt Iswarienko, at the time of her death. However, she had split from him in 2023, and their divorce was finalised just two days after she passed. Though Doherty purchased the five-bedroom property in 2004, she carried out an extensive renovation in 2018 after the property was damaged in the Woolsey Fire that same year. Mr Cortazzo revealed the home is filled with different treasures that the actress collected while travelling around the world. Doherty's property boasts stunning views of the surrounding area, particularly from the primary suite, which features a retractable glass wall. Inside the dwelling, the main living space boasts beamed ceilings, an expansive kitchen with custom cabinetry, and a largely neutral aesthetic that is peppered with more unique decor items, such as sliding barn doors that separate the dining room from the den. 'Tucked behind mature hedging on one of Malibu's most desirable streets, this exquisite estate presents a striking blend of California modernism and rustic refinement,' the listing notes. 'Completely reimagined with an emphasis on natural light, flow, and function, the property exudes a sense of serenity from the moment you arrive.' Outside, the home features a glittering lap pool that overlooks the ocean, while hedges that border the one-acre property help to ensure complete privacy from prying eyes, something that Doherty is said to have prized. The yard also boasts an edible garden, as well as a canopy of trees to provide natural shade on hot days. 'Beyond the main residence, the grounds unfold into a spectacular lifestyle setting,' the description continues. 'A sleek lap pool with integrated spa is flanked by sun loungers and bordered by lush privacy hedges. 'Tiered gardens bloom with vibrant plantings, and a thoughtfully designed dining terrace invites open-air meals beneath the trees. 'A fully realised edible garden, complete with raised beds and fruiting trees, enhances the property's sense of abundance and connection to nature.' In addition to the main house, the property also features a detached guesthouse, which can be used as a studio space, additional bedroom, or even a fitness centre. Doherty purchased the home three years after she ended her three-year run as Prue Halliwell on 'Charmed' and 10 years after she quit her hit role in 'Beverly Hills, 90210.' However, the actress's on-screen career had begun long before she landed the part of Brenda Walsh — having started when she was just a child and appeared in several TV spots, before securing the role of Jenny Wilder on 'Little House on the Prairie.' After Doherty was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer in 2015, she began openly documenting her health journey, candidly revealing the many different treatments she was undergoing, while continuing to share her positive outlook on life even as she battled the debilitating disease. In 2017, the actress revealed that her cancer was in remission — however, just two years later it returned, with Doherty announcing that the disease had advanced to Stage 4. 'I don't think that I've processed it. It's a bitter pill to swallow in a lot of ways,' she admitted during a February 2020 interview with Good Morning America. 'My first reaction is always concern about, 'How am I going to tell my mum? My husband?' 'My mum is a ridiculously strong, courageous human being. So is my husband, but I worry about him.' She added: 'I'm petrified. I'm pretty scared. There are definitely days where I say, 'Why me?' And then I go, 'Why not me? Who else? Who else besides me deserves this?' None of us do.' Less than a year before her passing, Doherty spoke to People about her determination to keep fighting her cancer. She told the outlet in November 2023: 'I'm not done with living. I'm not done with loving. I'm not done with creating. I'm not done with hopefully changing things for the better. 'I'm just not done.' The actress regularly spoke out about her cancer battle on her hit podcast, 'Let's Be Clear,' on which Cortazzo appeared on several occasions. During one of those occasions, Mr Cortazzo and Doherty discussed how their 'casual real estate relationship' blossomed into a close bond 'full of love, laughter, and even a few screaming matches along the way,' the description revealed. The duo also opened up about how they were working together to plan the future of Doherty's estate, as well as her ideal funeral plans. 'In this episode, the BFF's find a way to chuckle through the toughest conversations … from funeral lists to estate planning, to the unknown road ahead. Everyone needs a Chris by their side,' the description went on. Doherty's death was confirmed by her longtime publicist, Leslie Sloane, in a statement made to the outlet on July 14. It read: 'It is with a heavy heart that I confirm the passing of actress Shannen Doherty. On Saturday, July 13, she lost her battle with cancer after many years of fighting the disease.'

Machine Gun Kelly horrifies fans with worrying confession
Fans are worried about Machine Gun Kelly after he broke down his diet — or lack thereof. In a casual video interview shared by Instagram account HipHop-N-More, MGK, 35, told a small group of guys, 'I don't really eat. I just do water a bunch.' Shocked, the men asked if that means he fasts, which MGK confirmed with a head shake. 'Like, I ate that burger 'cause we're streaming, and it's my man's s**t, you know?' he replied, prompting one of the guys to ask, 'OK, if we weren't streaming, what would you have had for dinner?' The musician — who dabbles in rock, rap and pop — responded, 'Probably water.' The group could not believe their ears. 'But how? You don't ever feel weak or light-headed?' one of them wondered. 'Yeah, sometimes. I'll eat, like, a couple times a week,' the actor confessed, elaborating that those meals will consist of 'bone broth with kimchi and sauerkraut.' ''Cause it has probiotics, you know?' he continued. 'So, like, when you do those water fasts, the only thing that's crazy is it kills all the good bacteria in you, too, so you gotta put the pro[biotics].' Kimchi is a traditional Korean dish consisting of fermented vegetables, most commonly Napa cabbage and Korean radish. Sauerkraut, meanwhile, is shredded cabbage that's fermented with lactic acid bacteria. During fermentation, microorganisms like bacteria or yeast break down sugars and starches in the absence of oxygen to produce various by-products like acids, gases and alcohols. Both kimchi and sauerkraut contain probiotics, which are live microorganisms like bacteria or yeast that provide health benefits; however, they are low in calories and macronutrients, which are essential to organ function. MGK added that he often cooks his kimchi and sauerkraut in bone broth, a nutrient-rich liquid made by simmering animal bones, connective tissue and sometimes meat. 'Do you drink green juice and s**t, too?' one of his friends asked, to which he explained, 'I'll drink celery juice sometimes, yeah. Coconut water.' The father of two — who shares 16-year-old daughter Casie with Emma Cannon and 4-month-old daughter Saga with Megan Fox — made sure to note that 'coffee and cigarettes' are also staples of his diet. Netizens were quick to express concern, with many claiming, 'Bro is describing anorexia' and 'Today I learned MGK has an eating disorder.' Someone else argued, 'he is literally malnourished and his daily diet consists of Cigarettes and coffees.' Reps for the star, who celebrated one year of sobriety in August 2024, did not immediately respond to Page Six's request for comment.
