Katy Perry left dangling midair after stage malfunction during show
Katy Perry's over-the-top performance took a scary turn on Friday night.
During her concert in San Francisco, video taken by a fan showed the pop superstar flying over the audience on a massive butterfly prop when it malfunctioned mid-performance.
The prop dropped suddenly, jerking Perry and causing her to cling onto it as it continued moving above the crowd.
She stopped singing, looking visibly panicked. The 'Teenage Dream' singer was heard letting out a yelp when the machine dropped. She immediately looked up at the wires the prop was strapped to.

The comments section was flooded with mixed reactions towards Perry and her jaw-dropping performance.
'Having things like this fly over the crowd is a huge safety hazard for the artist AND the fans,' one comment read.

In June, her show in Sydney, Australia took an abrupt turn after a fan approached her on stage.
He stormed the stage during Perry's performance of 'Hot N Cold' and grabbed her shoulder.
Perry was caught off guard and yelped before she swerved to dodge his arm. The man was then seen jumping with the crowd.

Orlando Bloom Reveals He was ‘Triggered' by ‘Partner' Which Led Him to Therapy—as He Sells $7M Los Angeles Home Following Katy Perry Split
Actor has confessed to being 'triggered' by his ex-'partner,' leading him to seek therapy to heal—after he parted with his $7 million Los Angeles home following his shocking split from . The 48-year-old—who separated from the 'Hot N Cold' hitmaker, 40, in June—got candid about his emotional journey to healing using the Hoffman Method, which is a week-long personal growth retreat where people identify and heal negative patterns. While speaking on Oprah Winfrey's podcast, 'The Oprah Podcast,' Bloom admitted that he had struggled with toxic behaviors and turned to the Hoffman Method to help him change his ways. He explained, 'I went to the Hoffman process about 10 years ago because I'd been triggered in a dynamic with my partner that had led me into a pattern of behavior that was very similar to the way in which I had grown up with my mother.' The actor noted that his childhood left him feeling 'confused' about how to love and how to receive affection. 'I was very confused about how to navigate the dynamics and the feelings that I was having,' he added before revealing that a fellow actor helped push him to the Hoffman Method. 'I was just about to turn 40, and it was really the greatest gift I could give myself, and the greatest reveal in my life up until that point. I felt like I'd almost been born again. It felt like I did 10 years of therapy in one week,' he added. The Hollywood heavyweight further noted that healing himself helped him become a better parent to 4-year-old daughter, Daisy, whom he shares with Perry, and Flynn, 13, with whom she shares with ex Miranda Kerr. 'I think my job as a parent now is to allow my children to grow without getting in their way. It's sort of like, don't get in the way of anyone else's journey. 'Don't let anyone get in the way of your journey, and just be grateful for the opportunities that are presented to you, and see the challenges of the dynamic that are in front of you as an opportunity for you to grow.' He noted that he is not 'perfect,' adding that he is learning as the days go on. 'I'm not saying I'm perfect. It's not easy at all, but it is something that without the Hoffman process, I don't think I could say I would have understood. I think I could have been easily triggered.' 'Now, even if I am and if we come across a situation that we're in conflict about [something], I can take a step back. 'I can let some time pass and then we can re-engage in a conversation where I'm looking at everything from [Flynn's] perspective whilst trying to lay in my thinking without it overwhelming or getting in the way of his process,' he shared. Although the actor didn't name the partner that 'triggered' him, Bloom was in a long-term relationship with Kerr at the time of the incident. His candid confession comes after exclusively revealed that he had sold his four-bedroom, four-bathroom California home one month after listing it. The home was originally built in 1959. Mexican architect Miguel Angel Aragonés, who sold the home to Bloom, had expanded and enhanced the home's midcentury modern architecture. Bloom's renovations included a new, zero-edge pool with an ipe wood deck. The outdoor area features bulit-in seating and a fire pit, and can be accessed via floor-to-ceiling sliders from several rooms in the house. The actor initially listed the abode in 2019 for $9 million, after having paid $7 million for the pad in 2017. The 4,011-square-foot, single-story home has four bedrooms and four baths. It sits on a hillside overlooking the city and the ocean. A mature hedge out front provides privacy. Bloom also opened up the floor plan, expanding the kitchen and allowing in more natural light. He added bespoke Poliform fixtures and finishes as well as indoor LED lighting. The master suite also had some work done. After the actor moved in, he opened the space so it could open out to the pool and has generous closet space. The master bath has a wet room with a free-standing tub and shower. There's a private patio right outside the floor-to ceiling windows. One of the home's more fascinating features is a sunken conversation pit lined with sumptuous sofas in the living room. News of the actor's home sale comes after it was revealed that Perry and Bloom had called it quits. The former couple began dating in 2016 after meeting at a Golden Globes after-party, where they fought over an In 'N' Out burger, the singer previously revealed during an episode of 'American Idol.'

Nick Offerman does not want to ‘pick an argument' with Trump-supporter co-star Dennis Quaid
Actor Nick Offerman said last week he wasn't looking to have a political squabble with his 'Sovereign' co-star Dennis Quaid over President Donald Trump. 'Dennis Quaid is a fantastic actor whom I've looked up to my whole life, and he [is] better in this film than almost anything I've seen him in,' Offerman said in a response on Reddit to a commenter asking about how he deals with Trump supporters like Quaid. Offerman had made an 'ask me anything' post on the site inviting users to inquire about 'Sovereign,' his new film with Quaid about an anti-government extremist and his son, and an eventual police standoff. 'We didn't have a lot of time together on set, so the context wasn't really conducive to digging into settling the world's problems, or even just those of America. 'Good morning, Dennis. How about those Epstein files? Anyway, want to run our lines,'' Offerman added. The actor, famous for his role as Ron Swanson on 'Parks & Recreation,' said he believes those who voted for the 47th president are good people, even though he disagrees with them. 4 Nick Offerman at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 8, 2025.

Getty Images 'Dealing with Trump supporters in the world is something I try to handle with nuance, because I know many others around the states who are very good people and citizens and would give you the shirt of their back,' Offerman said. 'They are on the receiving end of an absolute firehose of misinformation, so it's really cognitively dissonant (impossible) to engage in rational discourse.' He has said that his libertarian 'Parks and Recreation' character would have 'despised Trump,' and he thinks Republicans trend toward fascism. 4 Dennis Quaid spoke at one of Trump's rallies in California ahead of the 2024 election. 'I think we're all wrong about a lot of things, but the reason I lean left is because at the end of the Republican plan is austerity and literal fascism, sad military muscle parades and mounted troops in the LA, the coolest city in the world, and all the rest of the current bed-s—tings, and at the end of the Democrat plan is health care and life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for everybody,' he said. 4 Sovereign movie starring Nick Offerman and Dennis Quaid. Briarcliff Entertainment Offerman added that he wanted to work with Quaid and leave politics out. 'No matter who we voted for, it requires all of us (including an overwhelming number of immigrants) to make the great bounty this country produces, and is then so disproportionately pocketed by the ultra-wealthy, so I am not going to pick an argument with Dennis Quaid over our political leanings because I'm going to shake his hand and try to make a great film,' Offerman said.
