Katy Perry Suffers Embarrassing X-Rated Wardrobe Malfunction after Her Bra Bursts Open During Las Vegas Performance
Katy Perry suffered an X-rated wardrobe malfunction during Las Vegas performance as part of her Lifetimes Tour. The 40-year-old pop star was enthusiastically performing her 2010 hit "Part of Me" while running across the stage in a revealing two-piece outfit, when the back of her metallic bra suddenly popped open. Perry is currently well into her 84-date tour, which kicked off after the release of her seventh studio album, 143—a project that has received mixed reviews and is considered to be poorly planned. Perry said: "Oh S*** my bra is going to come off!" but ever the professionals, continued dancing before a member of her crew rushed to help. Onstage Embarrassment "Put my bra back on, Patrick," Perry said with a laugh, as a crew member rushed onstage to fasten the clasp while the crowd erupted in cheers. She then playfully told the audience they "hadn't paid enough" for a topless show, before carrying on with her performance. This incident comes just after a buzzworthy moment during a recent show in Nevada, where Perry stunned fans by calling out an unsuspecting audience member. Wearing a leotard paired with fishnet tights, she crouched low on stage, as she searched for her target in the crowd before accusing a fan of repeatedly sending private messages to her fiancé, Orlando Bloom. Looking down at the stunned fan - referred to as Kyle - she warned: "I know why you're here. Listen, if you keep DM-ing my man... you've been doing it for months, ever since the residency. You didn't come to see me play." As the audience erupted with cheers, Perry continued, "If you keep on DM-ing my man I'm going to have you removed - seriously, get your own life." She then raised her voice and shouted, "He don't want you, Kyle. I'm his wife. I'm his, he's mine... stay the f**k away." Shocking Her Fan Kyle, who was standing near the front of the stage, appeared shocked and turned to his friends as Perry seamlessly worked her way back into her performance. Luckily for him, the fiery exchange was all part of a scripted bit—an interactive moment Perry uses to engage the crowd before performing her 2024 single I'm His, He's Mine. Meanwhile, reports have surfaced that Perry has not been invited back to continue her Las Vegas residency, as her career continues to take a hit following backlash from her Blue Origin spaceflight and a troubled world tour. The California Gurls singer has faced severe criticism over her 11-minute journey to space in April, where she joined Gayle King and Lauren Sanchez on an all-female mission. Soon after the space trip, Perry launched her Lifetimes Tour to promote her seventh studio album, 143, which received largely negative reviews upon its release in September.

Fans only just discovering Benny Blanco is secretly behind 16 UK number ones
If you listened to the charts at all in the past 15 years, you are probably a fan of Benny Blanco without even realising it. The 37-year-old hitmaker has been thrown into a newfound spotlight thanks to his very well known, fiancée Selena Gomez. The pair are incredibly loved-up, constantly posting together on social media, but it's caused fans to wonder who actually is this seemingly random man. Turns out, Benny has secretly been the genius behind basically every hit song in the 2010s and beyond. Moves Like Jagger, Payphone, TiK ToK, 2002, California Gurls, Love Yourself, Shape of You — the list is truly endless. He's just as surprised as we are. Benny once humbly told the Sydney Herald: 'I just sit there and I twiddle my thumbs. I'm still confused as to why I have a job.' Born in Virginia on March 8, 1988, Benny is best known as a prolific and successful producer and songwriter. He released his own album in 2018, with the track Eastside featuring Halsey and Khalid becoming a breakout hit and charting. Most people became aware of Benny when Selena hard-launched their relationship, and boy, did fans have opinions on him. However, the couple have actually been friends for years, first collaborating in 2015 to create her songs Same Old Love and Kill Em With Kindness. Benny, real name Benjamin Joseph Levin, got his start as a teenager after experiments with beats and recording himself singing caught the attention of executives at Columbia Records. He earned an apprenticeship with producer Disco D, and by 19 years old, he was working alongside Dr Luke with some of the biggest artists in the world. Over the past two decades, he has received eleven Grammy Award nominations, although he is yet to win. While there's no Grammy in his home, Benny has won the 2017 iHeartRadio Producer of the Year Award and was the recipient of the 2013 Hal David Starlight Award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame. During his period with Dr Luke he helped write and produce Katy Perry's Teenage Dream, Kesha's TiK ToK, and Taio Cruz' Dynamite. By 2008, Benny was included on Britney Spears' Circus album and is credited with co-writing the titular track, which is recognised as one of the top 10 best-selling songs of 2009. From here, his discography continued to amass hit songs, including in 2011 when he wrote without Dr Luke for the first time — and made Moves Like Jagger. He told YouTuber Daniel Wall the song came about because Adam Levine had featured on a demo and wanted the song for Maroon 5, but instead Benny promised a different track. 'I said, 'Let me give you another song, I have an idea' … I had no idea,' he revealed. 'I'm like in a hotel room going back and forth trying to make it happen.' The idea ended up being Moves Like Jagger, but the radio stations weren't convinced at the time — with Maroon 5 already having Never Going To Leave This Bed ready to launch. So the band's manager sneakily swapped the tracks on the launch show for The Voice, creating an instant hit. 'We wake up the next morning, it's number one in 83 countries,' Benny laughed. 'Never looked back, that started such a great journey with me and Maroon 5.' While Moves Like Jagger remains one of Benny's biggest hits, it is by no means the only one he has written. Until now, Benny's been a name for people in the know, big music fans and industry heavyweights. He told the Sydney Herald in 2022, 'When we made TiK ToK or when we made Dynamite, I had no idea they'd stand the test of time the way they did. I was just making songs.' On fame, he added: 'I spent most of my life behind the scenes, and I had the best job in the world: I was known enough to get into nice restaurants, but not known enough to get stopped on the street. 'Once I became an artist and that changed, I definitely had so much more respect for being an artist and a celebrity and stuff. I didn't really get it until I was put in that position.' His recent album and relationship with Selena pushed him to the forefront for the first time since his own hit Eastside in 2018. Speaking about his career on Daniel's channel, Benny shared: 'I started out, I thought I was going to be the biggest rapper in the world. I wasn't the biggest rapper in the world, but you know what, I ended up in a pretty cool job. 'Don't be so precious, you can reinvent yourself a million times,' he advised. 'Do something that sounds like you, just be original.' Over the course of his career so far, Benny is credited with writing or producing almost 30 number one hits globally.

‘I am ok': Katy Perry breaks silence on space bad-venture
A crestfallen Katy Perry has reassured fans she's doing 'ok' following the torrent of online abuse she's copped in the wake of Blue Origin's all-female space flight which launched on April 14. The E.T. singer became an instant meme after footage was released of her kissing the ground upon her return to Earth following the 11-minute voyage. Also on board were TV personality Gayle King, film producer Kerianne Flynn, journalist Lauren Sanchez, former NASA scientist Aisha Bowe, and research scientist Amanda Nguyen — although none received the level of vitriol directed at Perry.

Blue Origin was founded in 2000 by Jeff Bezos, and completed its 31st total mission to space, including its 11th human space flight for the New Shepard program. During the journey, Perry sang Louis Armstrong's What a Wonderful World, which was reportedly a welcome performance among her co-passengers. However, facing a pile-on from the Earth-based online community — and even other celebrities — the 40-year-old bared her soul to loyal followers in a long-winded response on an Instagram fan page a couple of weeks after the journey. 'I'm so grateful for you guys. We're in this beautiful and wild journey together. I can continue to remain true to myself, heart open and honest especially because of our bond,' she told fans. 'I love you guys and have grown up together with you and am so excited to see you all over the world this year! Please know I am ok, I have done a lot work around knowing who I am, what is real and what is important to me.' Pop star Katy Perry and five other women launched into space on a Blue Origin rocket. Credit: Blue Origin / Blue Origin Perry has also sparked outrage among some for continuing to work with controversial record producer Dr. Luke, who was accused of drugging and sexually abusing singer Kesha in 2014. The experienced producer was behind several of Perry's mega tracks including I Kissed A Girl and California Gurls. 'My therapist said something years ago that has been a game changer, 'no one can make you believe something about yourself that you don't already believe about yourself' and if I ever do have any feelings about it then it's an opportunity to investigate the feeling underneath it,' Perry's comment continued. 'When the 'online' world tries to make me a human Piñata, I take it with grace and send them love, cause I know so many people are hurting in so many ways and the internet is very much so a dumping ground for unhinged and unhealed. (sic)' Blue Origin was founded in 2000 by Jeff Bezos, and completed its 31st total mission to space, including its 11th human space flight for the New Shepard program. Credit: Katy Perry / Instagram Amid a sea of scathing reviews of her 2024 album release 143, Perry reminded fans that she appreciates the loyalty and love they show at concerts and continues to front-up for them. 'What's real is seeing your faces every night, singing in unison, reading your notes, feeling your warmth,' she said. 'I find people to lock eyes and sing with and I know we are healing each other in a small way when I get to do that cos' l'm not perfect, and I actually have omitted that word from my vocabulary, 'l'm on a human journey playing the game of life with an audience of many and sometimes I fall but... I get back up and go on and continue to play the game and somehow through my battered and bruised adventure I keep looking to the light and in that light a new level UNLOCKS (sic)'. While the space voyage was billed as one small step for womankind and the science field at large, it received widespread condemnation from many who felt it was one giant capitalist stunt for the rich. Several celebrities aimed their dismay at Perry for taking part in the flight, including Olivia Munn, who labelled it 'gluttonous', and Olivia Wilde, who joked, 'billion dollars bought some good memes I guess'. However, British singer Lily Allen was one to publicly retract her negative remarks. Speaking on her BBC podcast Miss Me? Allen had initially said, 'I just think its so out of touch we're on the brink of a recession, people are really struggling to make ends meet, it just seems like things are hard at the moment'. British singer Lily Allen was one celebrity to publicly retract her negative remarks.

'There was actually no need for me to bring her name into it, and it was my own internalised misogyny,' Allen said on her podcast. 'I've been thinking about it a lot, and it was just completely unnecessary to pile on with her. I mean, I disagree with what it was that they did, but she wasn't the only person that did it.' Perry has continued her own venture of late, re-joining her The Lifetimes Tour in Mexico which will see her globe-trotting until December. Her first tour in seven years, she is set to play 84 concerts.
