Katy Perry gives away favourite gloves to fan

Katy Perry gave away her favorite gloves to one lucky fan on Sunday night (09.27.15).

The pop superstar was performing at the Rock in Rio festival in Brazil and she got so caught up in the moment as she sang for her passionate fans she threw her much-loved gloves – which she has worn for around 143 concerts – into the crowd.

She posted on Twitter: ”Was feelin it so much tonight that I threw my gloves that I’ve been using for 143 odd shows in the audience! To whomever caught them… (you’re on fire) (sic)”

Katy blamed her excitable behavior on last night’s supermoon lunar eclipse.

It was the first time the space spectacle had occurred for 33 years and made the moon turn blood red in color – due to sunlight being scattered by the Earth’s atmosphere – and appear 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter as it was only 226,000 miles away from Earth.

The ‘Roar’ hitmaker tweeted: ”Me possessed by the super moon and 100k people in the audience tonight giving me life! #RockInRio2015 #ilookhungry (sic)”

Other acts to perform at the festival include A-Ha, Sam Smith and Rihanna.

Keith Richards’ secret to immortality

Rolling Stones rocker Keith Richards believes going to church and living a clean lifestyle are the keys to immortality.

The guitarist was asked by a fan during the band’s first ever Twitter Q&A what he thinks the secret to living forever is and gave his tips.

When asked the question, he responded: ”I ain’t there yet! So far so good. I think a clean and healthy life, plenty of exercise, go to church on a Sunday.”

The 71-year-old musician is famous for his hellraising lifestyle which has seen him booze to excess, take drugs and bed countless women during his years on the road with the band, and he has outlived many of his rock ‘n’ roll peers.

Keith has only become religious more recently, which could have something to do with the influence of his devout Christian wife, former model Patti Hansen.

The ‘Brown Sugar’ hitmaker was recently cited on a religious views website Hollowverse, where he said his family when he was growing up weren’t religious people and he didn’t go to church on Sundays.

He said: ”There’s nobody in my family that ever had anything to do with organized religion… Thank God, otherwise Sundays would have been even more boring than they were… I don’t want to see my old friend Lucifer just yet. He’s the guy I’m gonna see, isn’t it? I’m not going to the Other place, let’s face it.”

Then Keith admitted he is now a spiritualist and that’s the reason he collaborated with Jamaican singer Justin Hinds on their ‘Wingless Angels’ album.

He added: ”Spirit is all around me. Very much. That’s why I did the ‘Wingless Angels’ album: very spiritual music. But mine is a very nebulous spirituality. I wouldn’t care to put a name on it. I wouldn’t want to place any bets. Religion is too much like Las Vegas. ‘Oh, you’ve picked the wrong God. Sorry, it’s Allah.’ I prefer to take the larger point of view.”

Elsewhere in the Twitter Q&A, singer Sir Mick Jagger admitted he enjoys secret karaoke session to keep his voice in good shape.

The 71-year-old frontman revealed: ”You have to do warm-ups and look after yourself.”

Ryan Reynolds joins Facebook and Instagram

Ryan Reynolds has joined Facebook and Instagram.

The 38-year-old actor – who joined Twitter back in November – has now set up official accounts on the other two social networking sites, joking he is ”fashionably 12 years late” in creating a Facebook page.

In his first post on the account – which has already racked up more than 670,000 fans – he posted a snap of himself as a teenager on the set of teen drama ‘Fifteen’, alongside which he wrote: ”Nice to be on Facebook. It’s always good to be fashionably 12 years late.”

The ‘Green Lantern’ star – who has four-month-old daughter James with his wife, 27-year-old ‘Gossip Girl’ actress Blake Lively – has also shared his first snap on his Instagram account.

Posting a still from his new Marvel film ‘Deadpool’, in which he is in mid-air, he wrote: ”Stuck the landing. With my mouth.”

However, Ryan’s 100,000 person following on the site is modest compared to Blake, who has racked up 2.7 million followers since joining Instagram in July last year.

And fans will be hoping to see more of the hunk’s trademark wit on his new accounts, having joked about his mother on Twitter on Mother’s Day (05.10.15) with a quirky post about her knowledge of Israeli self defence.

He quipped: ”Got pretty lucky in the Mom Lottery. This amazing lady KNOWS how to raise 4 boys. She also knows advanced krav maga (sic).”

Britney Spears is OK after on stage ‘scare’

Britney Spears is ”OK” after hurting her ankle during a live show.

The 33-year-old pop princess had a ”scare” during her ‘Britney: Piece of Me’ show at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, with numerous fans uploading videos of the star falling over to social media.

Britney appreciates all her fans’ concerns and messages but has assured them she is fine and ready to continue with her residency.

She wrote on Twitter: ”Thank you for all of the sweet wishes! Had a little scare on stage tonight with my ankle but I’m ok! (sic)”

This isn’t the first on stage mishap for Britney, as back in March one of her hair extensions fell out during an energetic performance.

These incidents haven’t hurt the ‘Lucky’ singer’s reputation, however, as her residency was recently named Best Overall Show in the city and Best Bachelorette Party.

The ‘Womanizer’ hitmaker has been starring at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino since her residency opened on December 27, 2013 and has earned rave reviews for her show.

Russell Brand praises Katy Perry

Russell Brand and Diplo sent well-wishes to Katy Perry last night (02.01.15).

The British comedian advised fans to tune into the Super Bowl game between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots to see his ex-wife – who he divorced in 2012 after 14 months of marriage – give an ”amazing” half-time performance, while her former boyfriend gushed she had ”murdered” it after the 12-minute pop spectacular.

Russell tweeted yesterday: ”Super Bowl may be baffling to Brits but half time show will be amazing. Good luck KP.”

And producer Diplo – whose on/off romance with the ‘Roar’ hitmaker is believed to have recently ended – shared a picture from her set afterwards on PHHOTO and wrote: ”@Katyperry murdered it (sic)”.

He also tweeted: ”Who’s w me? Team Katy Perry #sp49 (sic)”

Elsewhere, a host of other celebrities praised the ‘Dark Horse’ star – who was joined by Lenny Kravitz and Missy Elliott – for her performance.

Britney Spears tweeted: ”That half-time show! @katyperry you rocked it!! #HalftimeShowKatyPerry (sic)”

‘Into the Woods’ star Anna Kendrick tweeted: ”It’s official. Katy Perry is magic.

”All jokes aside, @katyperry your voice tonight was actually unreal. So were your boobs. That is also not a joke to me. (sic)”

Kevin Jonas simply wrote: ”@katyperry so impressed (sic)”

Busta Rhimes and Timbaland were particularly delighted to see Missy join Katy on stage.

Busta excitedly retweeted: ”#Facts bruh!! RT @Timbaland: now thats what Im talking about @MissyElliott u kilt dat (sic)”

Charlie Sheen apologises to Kim Kardashian West

Charlie Sheen has apologised to Kim Kardashian West.

The ‘Anger Management’ star, who branded the ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ beauty ”a pox on the face of entertainment” after accusing her of refusing to sign an autograph for a six-year-old fan, is now ”really embarrassed” by his actions and posted a message asking for forgiveness on Twitter.

He wrote: ”Dear Kim, my extreme bad. really embarrassed by my actions. I was already p***ed about some other c**p that had nothing to do with you. I heard a story that bothered me. wrote some trash you didn’t deserve. Ever. I’m an idiot as often as I’m a genius. that day, clearly I was the former. xox”

The 49-year-old star’s apology came just hours after he insisted he was standing by his earlier social media attack on the reality TV star, 34, and said she had ”zero gratitude, zero awareness, zero talent, a pox on the face of entertainment she is!”

The outspoken actor lashed out at Kim after his friend claimed that she was very unpleasant to a young fan who approached her for an autograph in an empty parking lot and told her assistant: ”Oh God, can you handle this.”

Charlie alleged: ”The assistant and dooshy got in her car and pulled out and sped past the poor little six-year-old without even a glance to the child.”

A source close to Kim, who has 18-month-old daughter North with husband Kanye West, previously insisted the incident never took place and claimed she said: ”I never say no to autographs, especially kids.”

Abigail Breslin calls Taylor Swift ‘unstable’

Abigail Breslin has called Taylor Swift an ”unstable cat lady”.

The ‘Little Miss Sunshine’ actress appeared to criticise the pop star, as she tweeted a variation of the lyrics to Taylor’s hit song ‘Blank Space’.

In a perceived dig, the 18-year-old star wrote: ”Cuz darling I’m a nightmare dressed like an emotionally unstable cat lady. (sic)”

While Taylor’s original line reads: ”’Cause darling I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream.”

It’s not the first time Abigail has started a feud with another celebrity.

In November, the blonde penned the scathing song ‘You Suck’ which seemed aimed at her ex-boyfriend, 5 Seconds of Summer rocker Michael Clifford, 19.

The video – which is posted on her official YouTube channel – includes the lyrics: ”I hate your dumb tattoos/I wish you’d fly to the moon, where there are no girls to use or screw over.”

She later told Teen Vogue magazine: ”This is a song I wrote about those guys who are players and use people and just generally aren’t really good people.

”It’s about things I’ve witnessed – it’s not OK when guys don’t have respect for girls. I wrote it in the heat of the moment, and I think a lot of people will relate to it.”

James Blunt uninterested in Twitter notoriety

James Blunt doesn’t give a ”f**k” about being a Twitter sensation.

The ‘When I Find Love Again ‘ singer/songwriter has gained a reputation for his frank responses on Twitter, but Blunt has now admitted that he is not bothered with his sudden surge of popularity on the social networking site.

When asked by the new issue of heat magazine what the biggest misconception about him is, James replied: ”That I give a f**k.”

The 40-year-old singer also explained he was forced to sign up to the site in 2009 by his record label.

He shared: ”My record label set up the account and asked me to answer people, so I did. Then they phoned me up and asked me to stop.

”Twitter is just people’s opinions, and opinions are like a**eholes – everyone has one.”

Speaking about some of his best replies to messages from haters or online trolls, James revealed that he often thinks them up on the spot before revealing that he offers support to people who are getting bullied as a result of his quips.

He told the publication: ”The best ones are always the most spontaneous.

”Some have been funnier than others. If I think the person I’m replying to might be harassed as a result, I DM [Direct Message] them to say it’s all in good humor, and if any of my followers give them hassle, they can let me know. I don’t want it to be part of that hate-filled cycle that seems to purvey though the internet.”
