Man arrested and charged after storming the stage at a Katy Perry concert
A man has been arrested and charged after storming the stage at a Katy Perry concert. The American singer, 40, was perfroming at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney as part of her The Lifetimes World Tour on Monday when the incident occured. Footage circulated online captured the moment that Johnson Wen – known online as Pyjama Man – crashed her rendition of 2008 hit, Hot N Cold. Wen could be seen running up to her and grabbing her shoulder, while excitedly jumping up and down, before he was then escorted off stage. For her part Perry - who is engaged to 48-year-old British actor Orlando Bloom - looked furious. She then told the confused crowd: 'Well, there's never going to be another show like this, so just enjoy it, Sydney.' Adding: 'What the hell is going on?' According to 9News, he was arrested after the incident, and taken to Auburn Police Station. Wen was eventually charged with entering enclosed lands, as well as obstructing a person in the performance of their work or duty. After being granted conditional bail, he was issued with a six-month ban from entering the Sydney Olympic Park Precinct, and is due to appear at Burwood Local Court on June 23. Speaking to the Australian news outlet afterwards, Wen claimed his stage invasion had been for fun and went on to recall how Perry had 'freaked out' when she saw him. 'I said, 'Let me get on stage with you', then she freaked out because she realised I wasn't a performer,' he explained. 'I was about to do like extra Fortnite moves but security got there too quick.' This isn't the first time that Wen has done something like this. He was previously banned from the Olympic Park for crashing the Weeknd's concert, and also invaded arenas at the Olympics, the Women's World Cup and the Cricket World Cup final. Wen has now vowed to mend his ways, adding: 'I'm planning to quit forever because you get in way too much trouble for it. Especially me, because I've done it so many times.'

Iconic 90s Rock Band Plays Epic Show After Releasing First Album In 24 Years
Iconic 90s Rock Band Plays Epic Show After Releasing First Album In 24 Years originally appeared on Parade. Iconic classic rock band Pulp played a seriously sick show in Dublin, Ireland on June 10 — just four days after they released their first studio album in nearly 24 years. The group — which consists of legendary singer, guitarist, and frontman Jarvis Cocker, keyboardist Candida Doyle, guitarist Mark Webber, and drummer Nick Banks — brought down the house at the 3Arena in Ireland's capital city. The show came just days after the release of their new album, which is titled More, on June 6. The album marks their eighth studio release, nearly a quarter of a century after they put out their last one. We Love Life, their previous record, was released in 2001. They did play a few shows back in 2011 and drop a single or two in 2013, but this is the first major release from the band in many years. They dropped their first record back in 1983, five years after forming the band in Sheffield, England when Cocker, 61, and friend Peter Dalton were just young teenagers. Minus Cocker, much of the band's original line-up never made it past high school graduation, as they went off to continue their studies. But Cocker just drummed up a new set of musicians to take over. By the early 90s, they found mainstream success with their 1994 album His 'n' Hers, as well as their 1995 follow-up Different Class, which spawned the hit single 'Common People.' The band is generally considered one of the core four Britpop groups, alongside Oasis — who is reuniting this summer after 16 years — and their contemporaries Blur and Suede. As for their current tour, Pulp is currently playing across Europe and Asia through August, stopping off in Spain, England, and South Korea before taking their tour across the United States for the month of September. As of now, that's all they have on the calendar as far as the tour goes — but no matter what, we thankfully have their exciting new album to immerse ourselves in when the shows are over.

Kate Middleton Stands By Prince William As Harry's Actions Leave 'Deep' Wounds, Royal Expert Says
Kate Middleton reportedly has no plans to reconcile with Prince Harry, as she chooses to stand by her husband, Prince William, amid ongoing tensions. Kate and Harry once shared a close bond, but their relationship soured after the duke and his wife, Meghan Markle's public criticisms of the royal family. Kate Middleton was reportedly heartbroken by the fallout with Prince Harry and the duchess, especially as she battled health challenges. Kate reportedly has no intention of initiating any reconciliation with Harry, choosing instead to remain firmly aligned with William. According to Us Weekly, the Prince and Princess of Wales are increasingly frustrated and "just don't understand why Harry doesn't stay quiet" after the royal exit. However, royal commentator Kinsey Schofield shared a different perspective with Fox News Digital, suggesting William's hurt stems from his desire to shield his wife from Harry's actions. "Catherine has been nothing but supportive of her husband – and that's exactly why Prince William is so deeply hurt," Schofield noted. He continued, "His pain doesn't come from personal insults or headlines. It comes from his instinct to protect the woman he loves… But what cuts the deepest is Harry's treatment of Catherine. She's always loved him, always treated him like a little brother. That's the betrayal William won't forget… But Harry never seems to think about the consequences." Meanwhile, British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard told the publication that Kate has been quietly heartbroken over the ongoing rift between William and Harry, but has no plans to enter the drama. "Catherine and Harry shared a fun humor and were often seen giggling together at events," Chard shared. She continued, "Sadly and upsettingly, Princess Catherine was dragged into the public negative narrative, which was a real smack around the face for the kind of sister-in-law who tried hard to be the peacemaker between the brothers." The tension that has grown since Harry and Meghan departed from royal life further deepened following Harry's explosive memoir "Spare" and Meghan's 2021 Oprah Winfrey interview, during which she claimed Kate made her cry ahead of the royal wedding. According to a source cited by Us Weekly, Kate was deeply affected by the accusation. "The reframing of events upset her, and making up a narrative that Kate is mean was devastating," the source claimed. "She can't retaliate, and Meghan knows that." Chard told Fox News Digital that while Kate and Meghan never had much in common, the Princess of Wales was genuinely pleased when Harry found love. "Princess Catherine was happy when Prince Harry met Meghan," Chard noted. "She was thrilled that Prince Harry seemed genuinely happy… The three musketeers became the 'Fab Four'… Princess Catherine [silently] cannot understand why Prince Harry still won't bite his tongue and continues his destructive path." But that harmony didn't last. Chard explained that Kate entered "protection mode" as the "Sussexes aired more and more allegations, grievances, and untruths against members of the British royal family." "Her goals have been protecting the crown, future-proofing the monarchy, [honoring] the late Queen Elizabeth II's legacy, and protecting her children from Prince Harry's hurtful commentary," Chard added. After years of trying to bridge the gap, Kate has now also stepped back from "any role of attempting to mediate a reconciliation" between the brothers, royal expert Fordwich explained. "She and William are now totally at one regarding hypocritical Harry. She's far more focused on her health and family. She's rather hurt," Fordwich stated. In his memoir "Spare," Harry paints an affectionate picture of his early relationship with Kate. He described the princess as "a fantastic girl" and even joked about their dynamic, saying, "I'm really looking forward to getting her under my wing. She'll be taking me under her wing, probably." Harry recalled feeling genuinely close to Kate, writing: "I loved my new sister-in-law. I felt she was more sister than in-law, the sister I'd never had and always wanted, and I was pleased that she'd forever be standing by Willy's side. They made each other visibly happy, and therefore I was happy too." The duke wrote about their first meeting, noting that it left a lasting impression on him. He remembered her as "carefree, sweet, and kind," noting her love for photography, art, and fashion. "She'd done a gap year in Florence," he wrote. "She loved clothes… I liked seeing Kate laugh. Better yet, I liked making her laugh. And I was quite good at it." Unfortunately, as things stand, it is unlikely Harry and Kate's relationship would ever return to the way it once was.
