Katy Perry escapes mid-air scare as butterfly prop malfunctions during San Francisco concert
Pop queen Katy Perry had a heart-stopping moment during her 'Lifetimes Tour' stop in San Francisco on July 18 when a suspended butterfly-shaped stage prop failed mid performance. Seated on the complex rig that abruptly jerked and fell, Perry was singing her smash song 'Roar' when the event took place; it nearly knocked her off balance. Katy Perry holds on and finishes performance despite prop failure In a video doing rounds on social media, Perry is seen gripping the structure tightly as it tilted mid-air, visibly shaken but determined to continue. She raised a hand to signal she was fine and resumed singing, as she did that, the fans cheered from the audience for her composure. A fan-captured video shows the moment the prop dipped unexpectedly, prompting gasps from the crowd before Perry steadied herself and powered through the rest of the song. Fans praise Katy Perry's professionalism, raise safety concerns Perry's Instagram was flooded with compliments about her coping with the incident which many people called 'true professional work.' Nonetheless, the incident revealed yet another discussion on the safety concerns of aerial stunts in concerts performed live. Comparisons were drawn to Beyoncé's recent mid-air glitch during her 'Cowboy Carter' tour, with some users urging artists to 'stay on the ground'. Not the first mishap on the Lifetimes Tour According to EntertainmentNow, this marks the second prop malfunction on Perry's 'Lifetimes Tour', which launched in April to promote her sixth studio album '143.' In June, a metallic sphere used during her Australia show tilted dangerously mid-air, forcing Perry to cling to the cables until crew members lowered the rig. Katy Perry responds with humor, tour continues Later that night, Perry posted a blurry selfie on Instagram Stories with the caption 'Good Night San Fran', acknowledging the incident with a touch of humor. Her next performance is scheduled for July 21 in Seattle, followed by stops across Canada, Europe, and South America, before the tour wraps up on December 7.

Bad news for Property Brothers amid HGTV cancelation bloodbath
Two of the three Property Brothers shows have been postponed at HGTV in the wake of the network's dizzying cancellation spree last month. Without warning, HGTV pulled the plug on Bargain Block, Married to Real Estate and Izzy Does It - with sources telling more changes are coming. The sudden cancellations sent shockwaves through the channel's fandom, and left employees of several shows fearing for their jobs. On the Fourth of July, HGTV's Battle on the Beach joined the scrap heap as co-host Alison Victoria revealed the show had not been renewed for season five. Now, identical twins Jonathan and Drew Scott of Property Brothers fame have seen their own careers affected by the shakeup. Their new show Chasing the West, which was previously slated to premiere this Thursday, July 10, has seen its inaugural episode bumped nearly three weeks to Wednesday, July 30, according to a report by EntertainmentNow. Another show of theirs, Don't Hate Your House With the Property Brothers, was meant to begin airing its second season on July 30 - the date now earmarked for the opening episode of Chasing the West. An updated press release states only that season two of Don't Hate Your House With the Property Brothers will start 'later this year,' with no specific date announced. The Scotts' show Celebrity IOU however has managed to stay on its original schedule, premiering this Wednesday, July 9, with guest star Rachel Brosnahan. Chasing the West will see the Property Brothers help families escape the frenzy of the city and acclimatize themselves to country life across an eight-episode first season. Meanwhile Don't Hate Your House With the Property Brothers is a home renovation series whose first case on season one was the Scott brothers' own parents. Shortly after the initial raft of HGTV cancellations last month, network sources spoke exclusively to about the thinking behind the move. 'We had to stop the bleeding,' said the senior source, who claimed that revenues were underperforming and the network needed to act. 'We were hemorrhaging money. So in order to stop the bleeding, we had to have a bloodbath. It was calculated cuts to make things make sense, financially.' Without warning, HGTV pulled the plug on Farmhouse Fixer, Bargain Block, Married to Real Estate and Izzy Does It. The sudden cancellations sent shockwaves through the HGTV fandom, and left employees of several shows fearing for their jobs. 'Decisions are still being made,' said the insider, who works directly with programming. 'It sucks for everyone involved but that's the TV business. Everyone understands that. Cable networks are struggling now, and we all have to make smart decisions.' Farmhouse Fixer host Jonathan Knight confirmed that his show, co-presented by Kristina Crestin, had been axed on Wednesday after three seasons. 'A lot of you have been asking about the future of Farmhouse Fixer,' he said. 'I am sad to say HGTV has decided not to move forward with another season. 'While I'm still processing the reasons that led to their decision, Kristina and I are so grateful for all your support over the past three seasons. Television has been so incredibly fun for us.' It was a surprise move by the network, given that former New Kids on the Block singer Knight is one of the most recognizable stars on the HGTV roster. 'He's well-known for sure,' said the network insider, 'but there are hosts on our shows who are more the face of the network. We're not getting rid of [Hometown hosts] Ben and Erin Napier anytime soon. They're probably the biggest stars we've got.' The decision to keep or cut a show comes down to revenue, and the Napiers enjoy the network's highest ratings. Each episode of Hometown garners around one million viewers, and is rebroadcast several times throughout the week. Other top performers include Rock the Block, My Lottery Dream Home, 100 Day Dream Home, Castle Impossible and House Hunters International. 'Obviously, things can change but the ratings performers are probably pretty safe,' said the insider. 'House Hunters International is a bit more expensive to produce, but the ratings justify it.' But some of the lesser-known shows, including Luxe for Less and Unsellable Houses, are facing uncertain futures. The show Izzy Does It was an easier cancellation decision, the executive said, because it was just entering Season 2 and had not yet built a devoted fan base. Host Israel 'Izzy' Battres has not issued a statement directly addressing his show's cancellation, but did respond to a fan online. 'Unfortunately, no season two,' Battres said, 'but we're truly thankful for everyone watching and supporting us!!' Married to Real Estate's hosts Mike Jackson and Egypt Sherrod described the decision to axe their show as 'unexpected' in a joint statement. 'Mike and I just landed back in the States after an unforgettable family trip through the Mediterranean, and we're met with unexpected news: HGTV has decided not to move forward with Married to Real Estate,' it read. 'While the chain of events leading up to this is disheartening, we are deeply grateful. Grateful for four incredible seasons. Grateful for our amazing crew and supportive fans.' The network insider acknowledged that the cancellations were 'brutal' but believes that all those impacted would find other projects. 'There are so many opportunities in home renovation media, whether it's on a network like HGTV or something online or something totally different. I am pretty sure everyone will land on their feet.'

Tom Felton returns as Draco Malfoy in Broadway's ‘Cursed Child'
Tom Felton, best known for his iconic role as Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter film series, is enchanting fans once again. This November, he will reprise his role on Broadway in the acclaimed play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child . This marks his first time on the New York stage and a magical return to the wizarding world after 15 years, according to Entertainment Now. Felton's stint at the Lyric Theatre will run for 19 weeks, from 11 November to 22 March. This makes him the first original Harry Potter film actor to join the stage production. The play continues the story 19 years after the original saga ended. Now, Draco Malfoy is no longer a schoolboy but a father navigating the challenges of adulthood alongside Harry, Ron, and Hermione. The actor shared his excitement on Instagram. He teased fans with a clip of himself donning his signature platinum blond hair and wand. 'Guess who's back,' he captioned, sparking a wave of enthusiasm from Potterheads worldwide. Comments poured in, including cries of 'Oh my Dumbledore, what is happening? This is incredible,' highlighting just how eagerly awaited this return is. In an interview with Today , Felton described the experience as a 'pinch-me situation.' He reflected, 'I let go of that character 16 years ago, and now I get to step back into his shoes, as a father this time, in a new story.' At 37, Felton is the same age as Draco in the play, which adds a poignant layer to his performance. 'I know him quite well as a kid. I don't know him that well as an adult. So that's the exciting challenge ahead for me,' he explained. Felton's return is not just a nostalgic trip but a full-circle moment. 'Being a part of the Harry Potter films has been one of the greatest honours of my life,' he said. 'Joining this production will be a full-circle moment for me… It feels surreal to step back into his shoes – and of course, his iconic platinum blond hair. I am thrilled to be able to see his story through and to share it with the greatest fan community in the world'. The original films are still beloved, and an HBO series is rekindling interest among younger generations. Felton's return to Draco Malfoy offers a bridge between past and present. Tickets for the Broadway run are available online, priced in US dollars but roughly equivalent to between R1,800 and R2,500 per seat, depending on seating and booking time. This is a rare chance to see an original cast member bring new life to a much-loved character on one of the world's most prestigious stages. In the words of producers Sonia Friedman and Colin Callender, 'Tom's return to Hogwarts connects generations of fans and revitalises a cherished narrative.' For anyone who grew up with the books and films, or for those discovering the magic anew, this is a moment to celebrate. Draco Malfoy is back – and this time, he's a father with a story all his own.
