Katy Perry's On-Stage Phone Call Shocker: Who's the Mystery Man She Chose? New

Katy Perry's On-Stage Phone Call Shocker: Who's the Mystery Man She Chose?

Katy Perry only has eyes for one man. The “Firework” singer, 41, headlined the O Son do Camiño festival in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, on Thursday, June 18, and playfully referenced her romance with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, as well as her past relationships. While performing her hit song “Never Really Over,” Perry danced around a giant prop cellphone on stage as she received calls from her exes, per fan footage posted on X. However, the singer didn’t seem interested in picking up the phone for her past suitors, who flashed on the screen under the initials “JM,” presumably for John Mayer, “RB,” an apparent reference to Russell Brand, and “OB,” seemingly for Orlando Bloom. Also included in the montage was Diplo, whose name came up on the phone’s screen. At the end of the performance, Perry received a call from a “JPJT,” whose profile photo included a red heart and Canadian flag emoji, which she happily accepted. Trudeau’s full name is Justin Pierre James Trudeau. Earlier this month, Perry gushed about her romance with Trudeau, with whom she recently made her red carpet debut. The couple attended the New York City premiere of her concert movie, The Lifetimes Tour – Live from Paris, on June 8. “I would say now at the end of 91 shows, I feel like a more grounded person in so many aspects of my life. I am very in love,” she reflected on her 2025 Lifetimes Tour in a post-screening Q&A, going on to describe Trudeau as the “love of my life.” Perry said that she feels very “anchored” by her relationship with the politician, noting, “I’m a little bit like a rainbow kite — I fly super high. Sometimes I need to be anchored, so to have that anchor finally makes me feel really whole now.” The songstress further opened up about finding love with Trudeau, 54, during a Wednesday, June 17, appearance on the “Unfamous” podcast. “I have love in my life now. That’s transformed me,” Perry said, explaining how her songwriting has evolved over the years. “You think when The Beatles say, ‘All you need is love,’ it’s a cliché? Clichés are clichés for a reason … it’s like you don’t know until you have your baby how beautiful that experience is and how it transforms you.” “I am constantly in transformation, and I have so many placements of Scorpio in my chart that it would be easy for me to go to the dark side,” she added. “I’m constantly rebirthing, constantly transforming, constantly, you know, phoenix to ashes, then hopefully eagle.” Perry and Trudeau began dating in the summer of 2025 following her split from Bloom, 49, with whom she shares daughter Daisy Dove, 5. “I don’t typically feel like a victim — you can hear it in my songs [that] I don’t resonate with that — but last year was pretty tough,” she hinted at her separation from Bloom. “It would have been easy for me to fall into that weird victim triangle. So, instead of falling into ‘woe is me,’ I was just like, ‘Let’s just feel this f***ing pain, let’s feel this anger, and let’s move on. Let’s learn from it also. Let’s get some feedback from it.’”

Michelle Obama's Remark That Left Hillary Clinton Laughing: What Did She Say About Trump? New

Michelle Obama's Remark That Left Hillary Clinton Laughing: What Did She Say About Trump?

At the opening ceremony of the Obama Presidential Center, Michelle Obama took a subtle jab at President Donald Trump, which left Hillary Clinton laughing. She praised her husband, former President Barack Obama, and seemingly called out Donald for not receiving a Nobel Peace Prize.Michelle Obama Subtly Took a Dig at Donald TrumpShe detailed the pressure Barack had felt during his tenure and having to go through life's challenges publicly. The former first lady did not take any names but rather changed her tone while listing Barack's achievements — especially when mentioning his Peace Prize — a clear nod to Donald's attempts while publicly complaining about not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. She said, "You [Obama] were doing the people’s work, rescuing our economy, expanding healthcare, ending a war, ordering the bin Laden raid, saving an auto industry, winning a peace prize." This left Hillary and the audience in stitches. She then leaned over and whispered something to her husband, Bill Clinton.Donald Trump Said Barack Obama Got a Nobel Peace Prize for 'Doing Nothing'Social media users absolutely loved this moment as it went viral within minutes. A user wrote on X, "OMG TRUMP IS GOING TO S--- HIMSELF. Michelle Obama just got even with Trump by honoring all his achievements, INCLUDING WINNING A NOBEL PEACE PRIZE. This is absolutely epic." Donald previously commented on Barack's Peace Prize win, saying he got the award for "doing nothing" and "destroying our country."Donald Trump Was Given the Nobel Peace Prize by Maria Corina MachadoDonald had long eyed the Nobel Peace Prize in 2025. According to The Guardian, Donald said, "If I were named Obama, I would have had the Nobel prize given to me in 10 seconds." He had even written a letter claiming he was snubbed from getting the prize. The president later received the prize, but from Venezuela’s María Corina Machado. However, María Corina ended up giving her Peace Prize to Donald, and he accepted it. Donald wrote on Truth Social, thanking María Corina, "It was my Great Honor to meet María Corina Machado, of Venezuela, today. She is a wonderful woman who has been through so much. María presented me with her Nobel Peace Prize for the work I have done. Such a wonderful gesture of mutual respect. Thank you María!"

Mystery Trucks in Iran: What Trump Revealed About the Uranium Secret New

Mystery Trucks in Iran: What Trump Revealed About the Uranium Secret

Ish-presidenti Donald Trump ka mohuar fuqishëm pretendimet se Irani ka zhvendosur uraniumin e pasuruar nga objektet bërthamore përpara sulmeve ajrore të fundit nga SHBA. Sipas Trump, pamjet satelitore që tregojnë kamionë në zonën e goditur janë keqinterpretuar, duke theksuar se ato i përkisnin punëtorëve të betonit që po punonin për të mbuluar hyrjet nëntokësore dhe jo për të transportuar material bërthamor.VAZHDO LEXIMIN ME POSHTE!Sekretari i Mbrojtjes, Pete Hegseth, gjatë një konference në Pentagon, mbështeti deklaratat e Trump duke thënë se nuk ka asnjë informacion të besueshëm nga inteligjenca amerikane që të tregojë se Irani ka zhvendosur uraniumin përpara bombardimeve.Megjithatë, disa zyrtarë dhe burime anonime të inteligjencës kanë ngritur dyshime për këtë version. Senatori republikan Markwayne Mullin deklaroi se të dhënat që ai ka parë nuk tregojnë lëvizje të uraniumit, por përkundrazi sugjerojnë se Irani mund të ketë shtuar sasinë në objektin e Fordow pak para sulmeve.Ndërkohë, burime izraelite të cituara nga “New York Times” pohojnë se Irani ka zhvendosur rreth 400 kilogramë uranium të pasuruar nga objekti i Fordow. Ata bazohen në pamje satelitore që tregojnë automjete të dyshimta në zonë pak para bombardimeve.Eksperti i armëve bërthamore, Joseph Cirincione, duke folur për CNN, vuri në dyshim versionin e Trump, duke thënë se transferimi i materialit të pasuruar është plotësisht i mundur në një kohë të shkurtër dhe se ka shenja të qarta që kjo mund të ketë ndodhur.Analistë të pavarur kanë paralajmëruar se edhe nëse infrastruktura teknike u dëmtua, sulmet mund të kenë shtyrë Iranin të përshpejtojë planet e tij për armë bërthamore, duke i dhënë Teheranit një arsye më shumë për të vazhduar fshehurazi zhvillimet në këtë fushë.Agjencia Ndërkombëtare për Energjinë Atomike (IAEA) ka deklaruar se inspektorët e saj kishin vizituar për herë të fundit objektet një javë përpara bombardimeve dhe tani po përpiqen të verifikojnë gjendjen dhe vendndodhjen aktuale të materialeve të ndjeshme.Raportet paraprake të inteligjencës amerikane sugjerojnë se ndërtesat mbi tokë janë dëmtuar, por depozitat nëntokësore, centrifugat dhe uraniumi i pasuruar mund të kenë mbetur të paprekura, duke ngritur pyetje të reja për efektivitetin e sulmeve.Situata mbetet e paqartë, me deklarata kontradiktore mes administratës Trump, aleatëve izraelitë dhe analistëve ndërkombëtarë. Të gjitha palët presin rezultatet përfundimtare nga IAEA për të kuptuar saktësisht se çfarë ndodhi përpara dhe pas sulmit. PV: 2,239

Obama's Tribute Raises Eyebrows: Why the Bidens Got Less Praise New

Obama's Tribute Raises Eyebrows: Why the Bidens Got Less Praise

Former President Barack Obama paid glowing tribute to predecessors George W. Bush and Bill Clinton and even their spouses in a public post Thursday — while leaving Joe and Jill Biden in the relative dust.Obama’s conspicuous separation of Bush and Clinton — two former presidents who he battled against politically in 2008 — from the Bidens in his appreciation post for attending the opening of his Barack Obama Presidential Center earlier in the day raised eyebrows.“To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we’re grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country,” Obama posted on X.“And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.”To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us. pic.twitter.com/OqBPd7ujLF— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) June 18, 2026Former President Barack Obama is all smiles as Stevie Wonder performs at the opening of his presidential library in Chicago on Thursday. AP Photo/Alex BrandonObama opened up his presidential library nearly 10 years after departing the White House. Tannen Maury/UPI/ShutterstockObama was fiercely critical of then-President Bush during Obama’s time in the Senate and even during much of his own time in the White House, trashing his predecessor’s “failed presidency.”Obama also clashed with both Bill and Hillary Clinton during the 2008 Democratic presidential primary battle, though he eventually tapped the latter to serve as his secretary of state.But while 44th president chose Biden to serve as his veep before Joe went on to succeed him as president, Obama then reportedly cast doubts on Biden’s chances of winning re-election in 2024, joining a Democratic mutiny versus the elderly commander in chief after his fumbling debate performance against President Trump.Thursday marked a rare public outing for former President Joe Biden, 83. VICTOR HILITSKI/EPA/ShutterstockStill, Obama extolled Biden during his speech Thursday marking the opening of his presidential library complex in Chicago.“Thank you to your steadfast partnership for eight years. Joe. We started as running mates and ended as family. And we would not be here without you, and we are grateful,” Obama said during his speech.The biggest snub by Obama during the grand opening of his presidential library targeted Trump, who was not invited. Trump is allowed to come visit, according to Obama Foundation CEO Valerie Jarrett.During the ceremony, former first lady Michelle Obama took thinly veiled swipes at Trump, alluding to his spewing of “lies” about her husband’s “birthright.“When fact and fiction run together, when folks seek to stifle speech, limit access to education, devalue diversity, erase the inconvenient parts of our history, when our phones constantly buzz with the latest outrage, I hope that this place can offer a respite from all that — at least for a little while,” she said.

Sources confirmed that Charles had extended an olive branch by inviting the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to stay at a royal residence for their visit across the pond next month. The King has also reportedly figured out security arrangements for Harry’s family unit. It is unclear if Markle (seen here with Harry) is going to join her husband and their kids for the visit. Samir Hussein/WireImageCharles (above) has offered his son and daughter-in-law a royal residence for their trip. Samir Hussein/WireImagePage Six confirmed earlier this week that the couple is going to bring their kids to the UK for the first time since 2022. Our source previously told us that Harry “desperately wants” his kids to meet their grandfather. Archie and Lilibet have not visited the UK due to security concerns, as Harry and Markle were stripped of their security privileges in the UK upon resigning from their royal duties in 2020. Harry has been trying to petition for the British government to provide security for him and his family while he is in the UK.

Kelly Osbourne's Unseen Struggle: The Harsh Reality She Faces Now New

Kelly Osbourne's Unseen Struggle: The Harsh Reality She Faces Now

Kelly Osbourne is hitting back at the cruel body-shaming she has been subjected to online in recent months. “I will be honest and say that I've never experienced cruelty like it,” Kelly, 41, exclusively told Us Weekly at the LAX.BID charity art auction in aid of Mind and The Ricky Hatton Foundation in London on Thursday, June 18. “And I don't think anyone deserves that kind of cruelty.” The television star and singer said that she doesn’t “pay any attention to” the mean comments about her appearance but added, “You have to be very mentally unwell to say the things that people are saying about me.” “I feel sorry for them,” she said of her online detractors. Kelly has been candid about grieving the death of her father, legendary rocker Ozzy Osbourne, who died in July 2025 at age 76. She also split from fiancé Sid Wilson, with whom she shares son Sidney, 3, earlier this year. Kelly credited her family and friends, as well as her little one, with helping her stay resilient amid her difficult year and the online trolls she continues to face. “I have an amazing support system. I have an amazing medical team. I have an amazing family. I have amazing friends … and my son,” she told Us. “And you never really know what's going on with someone. That's why I always make the point to smile at someone when I’m walking down the street, because that one smile can change their whole everything.” Kelly opened up about her grief over Ozzy, telling Us that it has brought her much closer to her family, including mom Sharon Osbourne, 73. She said, “It's taught me that time is the most precious thing we have.” In December 2025, Kelly called out “disgusting, horrible, mean, rude comments” about her appearance on Instagram. “I’m just here to say, what do you expect from me? What do you expect me to look like right now?” Kelly said in an Instagram Story video. “The fact that I’m getting out of bed and facing my life and trying to be more than enough, I should be commended for that.” She continued, “For example, you say that I look ill. Well, I am ill right now. My life is completely flipped upside down. I don’t understand how people expect me to bounce back and look like everything is just fine in my life when it’s not.” “Another thing that is strange is that you compare photos of me now at 41 years old to a picture of me when I was 18 years old. People's faces change when you grow older,” Kelly said at the time. “The thing that I find the most disappointing in all of this is that most of the comments are coming from grown-ass women,” the “Papa Don’t Preach” singer added. “Women that say they're counselors, women that are mothers, women who look like they have weight struggles of their own.” “And it's absolutely devastating that women can't support other women,” she shared. “They'd rather tear them down when their dad just died. It's disgusting, and I've had enough of it. So, go f*** yourself.”

Michelle Obama Joke Sparks Health Fears: What You Need to Know New

Michelle Obama Joke Sparks Health Fears: What You Need to Know

A doctor told Joy Reid Friday that the recent Michelle Obama joke made at the UFC White House fight was giving her heart palpitations.Dr. Frita Fisher, a quadruple-board-certified nephrologist and former Fox News guest, went on ex-MSNBC host Joy Reid’s YouTube show to discuss the medical threats facing black women.When Dr. Frita first saw the viral clip of UFC fighter Josh Hockit shouting, “And lastly, Michelle Obama is a man! Am I right, America?” after his match, she told Reid that she was “personally humiliated.” (RELATED: Michelle Obama Says Illegals Are ‘The Beating Heart’ Of America)“I felt my heart having palpitations. I felt my chest tighten. I felt personally humiliated as a black woman, as First Lady Michelle Obama is,” the Meharry Medical College-educated doctor told Reid. Dr. Frita says that Michelle Obama jokes are causing increased heart disease for blacks pic.twitter.com/WfH7ZOstEA — End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) June 19, 2026Dr. Fisher has appeared on Fox News in recent years as a medical commentator on COVID, Ozempic, and safety tips, among others. Reid pulled Dr. Fisher on her show to discuss the medical implications of derogatory comments made towards black women.“It took me immediately, Joy, to the data that we have,” Dr. Fisher said. “We literally have data that systemic racism, chronic discrimination, and also public humiliation, we have data that these things increase cardiovascular negative outcomes. And as I sat there experiencing those emotions — I know I’m not alone — I realized, this is what happens.”“This is why so many black people and black women specifically have poorer cardiovascular outcomes when compared to other ethnic groups,” Dr. Fisher continued. “This is why so many of us have increased strokes. It actually is real!”The doctor then went on to list data from the American Heart Association, which recognizes that, in Dr. Fisher’s words, “chronic discrimination and systemic racism are associated with increased cardiovascular risks, like strokes.”“All of this goes toward the stress that is felt when black women, I’ll talk about black women specifically, experience this systemic racism and oppression and just dehumanization,” Dr. Fisher said.“What happens, Joy, is that when you experience public humiliation and systemic racism and things of that nature, it causes cortisol to spike,” the doctor added. (RELATED: Ex-MSNBC Host Joy Reid Renounces New York Giants After Learning QB Jaxson Dart Supports Trump)Heart disease is the primary cause of death in black women in the United States, and nearly 60 percent of black women over 20 have some form of heart disease, according to the American Heart Association. Causes for this vary and include high blood pressure rates, obesity conditions, and nutritional deficiencies.The two women also protested the praise several black ESPN sports commentators gave to the UFC fight, including Stephen Smith. After Reid expressed astonishment that anyone could appreciate the UFC fight, Dr. Fisher added, “You’re looking at the people who are supposed to support us — people within our community — black men who unfortunately sometimes seem to care more about power and money as opposed to really standing up for what is proper.”Stephen Smith slammed Hokit’s comment about Michelle Obama on his Thursday radio show, saying, “It was a disgusting thing to say. It was inexcusable.”Dr. Fisher ended the interview by giving medical advice to black women in America: “If you’re someone who is hearing these words and they’re causing these different situations, and they’re causing you to be extremely stressed and depressed, make sure you consult with your doctor, […] and certainly don’t be afraid to go and get mental help.”

NY Candidate's Freebie Scandal: What’s Really Happening? New

NY Candidate's Freebie Scandal: What’s Really Happening?

A controversial lefty New York congressional candidate is offering covered World Cup tickets to campaign volunteers — and free ice cream to early voters — seemingly running afoul of federal election laws, and potentially FIFA, The Post has learned.Experts said the freebies offered by Darializa Avila Chevalier’s insurgent campaign appear to violate Federal Election Commission guidelines that strictly prohibit rewarding volunteers with perks and offering payment, including free food, in exchange for voter turnout.“It sounds like they are paying people to vote, which is, of course, unlawful,” said Fordham Law Professor Jerry Goldfeder. The campaign for the Democratic Socialists of America challenger — who is running to unseat longtime Rep. Adriano Espaillat in New York’s 13th House District — posted the ice cream offer on Instagram Thursday.A Mamdani-backed candidate is offering freebies in what appears to be a violation of FEC guidelines and federal law. Nathan Posner/Shutterstock“Ice cream for NY-13 early voters!” the emoji-riddled post said, with instructions: “Vote early and keep your sticker! “On Friday the 19th, come to a West, Central, or East Harlem canvass and show your sticker to one of our field leads to get a Sugar Hill Creamery token. Use the token at Sugar Hill Creamery for a free cup of ice cream!!”It adds: “*Toppings, cones, or other extras at additional expense,” along with a red heart emoji.One day earlier, Avila Chevalier, on her official campaign X account, announced that four volunteers would have the chance to win prized seats to the Panama vs. England World Cup match on June 27.“Canvass for Darializa for a chance to win prime seat tickets at the World Cup,” the post read, instructing volunteers to collect trading cards for each completed canvassing shift in exchange for entry to the raffle. Darialize Avila Chevalier is offering free ice cream in exchange for voting. instagram/darializaforny“10 cards = automatic raffle entry.”Paying or offering an expenditure or gift in exchange for voting is a federal crime. The Department of Justice defines a “payment” as anything carrying monetary value – such as free food. The FEC also sets strict rules when it comes to campaign volunteers – and makes clear that the moment an unpaid worker receives a gift or transfer of monetary value, they are no longer legally considered a volunteer by the organization. “The campaign may not pay for admission to sporting events, concerts, theater and other forms of entertainment,” states the rules page on the FEC website. It’s not clear whether Avila Chevalier’s campaign paid for both the World Cup tickets and Sugar Hill Creamery tokens, as recent transactions weren’t immediately publicly available. But the campaign promoting and offering the freebies alone could potentially violate the FEC rules.“It’s rules for thee but not for me. Either they don’t know the rules, or they don’t care,” said Chris Coffey, a partner at political consulting firm Tusk Strategies. The lefty candidate is also offering free World Cup tickets to volunteers who work 10 shifts or more. FIFA via Getty Images“Still, if the other side were giving away free impossible-to-get World Cup tickets, they would be leading protests outside of his (Espaillat’s) office,” said Coffey of Avila Chevalier’s opponent.“Candidates have to be careful when incentivizing work from volunteers through gimmicks like this,” said another Democratic operative, who declined to be named. “It comes right up to the line of the law.”The FEC declined to comment. Avila Chevalier’s campaign didn’t return requests for comment, nor did FIFA.“We’ve done token programs like this before with other community partners, including local churches,” Sugar Hill Creamery said in a statement after publication Friday.“Darializa’s campaign reached out about it. We are offering a free scoop when a token is presented by anyone who voted early. This gift is for anyone in the community who has voted early, no matter for which candidate,” a spokesperson for the ice cream shop said. “Voting is the most important form of civic participation we have, and a lot of businesses run programs like this to encourage people to show up and do the critical work of participating in our democracy.”Avila Chevalier, who has been endorsed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani in the June 23 Democratic primary, is a doctoral candidate who provides legal help as a part of her job as an investigator at the Legal Aid Society.She’s faced a recent firestorm over her resurfaced social media posts, including one calling America a “f—ing disgrace.” A recent pro-Espaillat group poll showed the incumbent leading Avila Chevalier by a thin margin of just 8 points, 35% to 27%. Election Day is Tuesday, following the nine days of early voting.

What Happened When Deidre Hall Shocked 'Today' Host Craig Melvin On Air?

“Days of Our Lives” star Deirdre Hall slapped “Today” host Craig Melvin in a display of soap opera prowess — but it was all in good fun. “Of all of the storylines that you’ve been a part of over the years, what I’ve always enjoyed is your ability to slap,” Melvin told the daytime icon on Friday’s broadcast, while discussing her five decades of playing Dr. Marlena Evans. He added, “You’re a great slapper,” to which Hall replied, “Well thanks!” When asked how many times she may have slapped co-stars over the decades, Hall, 78 — who began appearing on the NBC mainstay in 1976 — admitted to Melvin that she “couldn’t begin to imagine.” Deirdre Hall playfully slapped Craig Melvin during Friday’s episode of “Today,” as seen above.

Hailee Steinfeld's Heartfelt Revelation: The Name That Has Everyone Talking New

Hailee Steinfeld's Heartfelt Revelation: The Name That Has Everyone Talking

Hailee Steinfeld has revealed the name of her and husband Josh Allen’s baby girl in a heartfelt letter dedicated to her daughter. Steinfeld, 29, addressed the letter to Harper, sharing her bundle of joy’s moniker for the first time in her Friday, June 19, Beau Society newsletter and Substack. The actress revealed her full name as Harper Haize Allen. “Dearest Harper, I’m in awe of you,” Steinfeld began her letter. “You’ve been here for only a short while now, and somehow it feels as though you’ve always been ours.” Steinfeld, who married Allen, 30, in May 2025, noted that precious moments like Harper sleeping “soundly on my chest” make her look at her little one and “wonder how you’re real.” The Pitch Perfect 3 star described the past few months of her life as "beautiful and exhausting,” noting that every minute spent together is “sacred and so special” after becoming a first-time parent. (Steinfeld announced in April that she had recently given birth to her daughter.) “Your daddy and I look at you often and ask each other the same question: How did we get so lucky to have you?” Steinfeld continued, referring to the Buffalo Bills quarterback. “You, whose tiny fingers already wrap around mine with a trust I pray I never take for granted. You, whose dad is officially outnumbered when it comes to choosing a movie for movie night, though I suspect he’ll secretly love every minute of it.” The Oscar nominee revealed that she’s trying “not to blink” and to cherish every milestone along the way. “I want your baby hair to stay this soft forever, but I long for the day you might ask me to braid it down your back while we’re sitting in the grass,” Steinfeld wrote. “I could tear up at the thought of your tiny toes getting bigger, but I know that someday your big-girl feet will carry you through this big world.” Steinfeld admitted that she used to think motherhood was “about raising a child,” but she has since realized that it’s about “allowing yourself to become someone new over and over again.” The Sinners star explained that after Harper’s arrival, she has been able to meet “a different version of myself” every day. “A softer version. A stronger version. A more patient and present version,” Steinfeld continued. “A version that loves everything and everyone — including myself — more deeply than she ever knew possible.” Steinfeld gushed about the “tiny, precious” moments she’s experienced so far with her baby girl, like her “milk-drunk smiles.” She described motherhood as the realization of having her heart “somehow living outside my body” as she watches her child grow. “And even though I know I am meant to guide you through this life, Harper Haize Allen, the truth is that already, you have taught me far more than I could ever teach you,” Steinfeld concluded. “One day you’ll read this and know that to be true, my sweet girl.”
