Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom clearly took the easy way out on a recent vacation, where, according to Perry’s Instagram feed, they spent a leisurely afternoon jumping out of a helicopter into the ocean. You heard that right. On Monday (August 12), Perry posted photos and video of the engaged couple getting hyped before leaping out of the chopper into the sea. Perry soundtracked the clip with a her current single, “Lifetimes,” and captioned it with a few lines from the dance banger whose Ibiza-shot video has a similarly beach-y, endless summer vacation theme.
“Like the stars are in the sky/ You and I will find each other / In every single life,” Perry wrote in the caption to the heli-hop post.

Perry recently revealed the track list for her upcoming 11-track 143 album (Sept. 20), which will feature “Lifetimes” and previous single, “Woman’s World,” as well as: “I’m His He’s Mine,” “Crush,” “Nirvana,” “All the Love,” “Truth” and “Wonder,” as well as three songs with as-yet-undisclosed features, “Gorgeous,” “Gimme Gimme” and “Artificial.”
The couple, who’ve dated since 2016 and got engaged in 2019, share three-year-old daughter Daisy Dove. The dive was not super surprising for Bloom, who risked life and limb in his recent Peacock series, Orlando Bloom: To The Edge, in which he went for a wingsuit flight, did a lung-busting free dive in the Bahamas and climb to the top of a 400-foot tower in Utah to stand on a tiny platform.

Rihanna‘s youngest son Riot Rose crawled his way onto the superstar’s Instagram feed recently.
In a video posted on Sunday (Aug. 11), the one-year-old speedily crawls across the floor, pushing a miniature Target shopping cart in an adorable cameo during one of her Fenty promo posts. Rih is known for dressing Riot and 2-year-old RZA — her first-born son with partner A$AP Rocky — in trendy outfits. In this case, the baby boy’s diaper peeks out of a chic grey sweatsuit.
The “We Found Love” singer also shared a photo of her posing next to the cart filled with travel-size versions of her Fenty Beauty products. “more minis are on the way to @ultabeauty in @target,” she captioned the post.
The adorable announcement comes about a week after Rih attended the Crop Over Festival in her home country of Barbados, stunning the crowd in a bedazzled carnival outfit complete with multi-color feathered wings. Before that, she watched Manchester City’s match against AC Milan at Yankee Stadium and met star players Christian Pulisic, Jack Grealish and Yunus Musah. While there, one young fan snubbed her by asking her to take a photo of him with the soccer pros, seemingly not recognizing the billionaire nine-time Grammy winner right in front of him.

As some fans joked after a video of the interaction went viral, the fact that Rih hasn’t released an album in eight years could very well be the reason certain kids don’t know who she is anymore. The mogul herself previously addressed the matter in a hilarious message to GloRilla, a screenshot of which the “TGIF” rapper posted on Instagram in July: “I know dis wild hypothetical, but when the album drop?”
To date, Rihanna has been coy about a release date or vibe for her untitled ninth album, the follow-up to 2016 album Anti. In June, after fans got scared by a T-shirt she sported reading “I’m Retired,” the singer promised fans, “I’m not retired. I just like that dress. I got it as a gift and I loved it. They didn’t read the second line, I’m not retired, I’m just retired from dressing up — it’s a lot of effort.” She also noted at the time that she’s “starting over” when it comes to her music.
“But I don’t want to neglect the songs that I have, so I actually want to go back and listen to stuff with new ears, with my new perspective and then see what applies and what I’m still in love with,” she said.

Charli XCX’s “Guess,” featuring Billie Eilish, soars to No. 1, from No. 16, on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart (dated Aug. 17).
The song surged by 758% to 20.4 million official streams and 515% to 5,000 downloads sold in the United States Aug. 2-8, according to Luminate. It also drew 182,000 in radio audience.
“Guess” gains following the Aug. 1 arrival of its remix with Eilish, which accounted for the bulk of the song’s overall consumption in the tracking week. The cut was first released by Charli XCX solo on June 10 on her Brat and It’s the Same but There’s Three More Songs So It’s Not deluxe version of her Atlantic Records album Brat, which was originally released on June 7.

Charli notches her second No. 1 since Hot Dance/Electronic Songs began in January 2013, after Icona Pop’s “I Love It,” on which she’s featured, led for two weeks that May. Eilish reigns with her first entry on the chart.

“Guess” concurrently debuts at No. 3 on the Billboard Global 200 and No. 5 on Billboard Global Excl. U.S. On the U.S.-based, all-genre multimetric Billboard Hot 100, it opens at No. 12, marking Charli XCX’s highest rank (and first top 40 placement) since she arrived with three consecutive top 10s in 2013-14: “I Love It” (No. 7 peak, May 2013); Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” (No. 1 for seven weeks, beginning in June 2014); and “Boom Clap” (No. 8, October 2014).
Meanwhile, Charli’s presence on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs extends beyond “Guess,” as she boasts six songs in the top 10. Only Drake and Rihanna have each logged as many or more top 10s simultaneously, led by Drake’s eight on the July 2, 2022, chart, when his LP Honestly, Nevermind launched its 20-week run at No. 1 on Top Dance/Electronic Albums.
Brat rules Top Dance/Electronic Albums for a ninth week, having led in each week on the survey since its debut. It earned 56,000 equivalent album units, up 39%, and wins the list’s Greatest Gainer award for a third consecutive week.
Eight tracks from Brat have hit the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs top 10 to date. Here’s a recap, ranked by their peak positions:
No. 1 (one week to date), “Guess,” feat. Billie Eilish
No. 2, “360”
No. 3, “Girl, So Confusing,” with Lorde
No. 4, “Apple”
No. 5, “Talk Talk”
No. 7, “Von Dutch”
No. 8, “365”
No. 10, “Sympathy Is a Knife”
Also notably, Charli has claimed at least one of the Greatest Gainer ribbons on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs in nine of the last 10 weeks, spread among five tracks from Brat:
Aug. 17: “Guess,” streaming & sales; “360,” airplay
Aug. 10: “Guess,” streaming & sales; “360,” airplay
Aug. 3: “Apple,” streaming & sales
July 27: “Apple,” streaming
July 13: “360,” airplay
July 6: “Girl, So Confusing,” streaming & sales
June 29: “Guess,” streaming
June 22: “360,” streaming; “Von Dutch,” sales
June 15: “360,” streaming & sales
As “Guess” takes the week’s top headlines among Brat songs, “360” continues its climb as the set’s promoted radio single. It bounds 35-27 in its second week on the Pop Airplay chart. Charli has tallied two No. 1s on the ranking: “Fancy” and “Boom Clap” led for three weeks each in 2014.

BLACKPINK’s LISA is used to being on stage in front of thousands of screaming fans, but when it came to her casting in the upcoming third season of the HBO drama The White Lotus, the veteran performer got those familiar butterflies in her stomach.
“Oh my God, Mike White? I think he’s a genius,” Lisa told Elle magazine about the show’s creator tapping her for her acting debut. “I think I cried. I was with my friends, my mom’s friends, and my mom as well, but I didn’t tell them that I auditioned for it. I’m super excited and nervous, because it’s my first acting project. So I was happy for a second, and then I was like, ‘Oh, wait, wait, how am I going to deliver this?’”
Luckily for LISA, while acting is not on her resumé, she does have some relevant experience. “It’s pretty new to me, but I think it’s similar to shooting music videos. I’m excited for my fans to see it,” she said. As for what the third go-round of the murder mystery dramedy has in store, LISA was, of course, mum to avoid any spoilers. “I feel like people are going to fall in love with Thailand even more,” she said diplomatically.

Production on the as-yet-unscheduled third season was initially delayed because of the 2023 writers/actors strikes, with HBO/Max now saying that it is slated to premiere in 2025. The upcoming season of the show that chronicles the lives of the rich and famous is being filmed at luxury resorts across Thailand, which happens to be LISA’s home country.
She told the magazine that filming in Bangkok and the islands of Phuket and Koh Samui was a great chance for the K-pop icon to “be back home, to have Thai food every day” and have her mother be close to the set.
LISA is slated to release a new single on Thursday (August 15), “New Woman,” featuring Rosalía as the follow up to her previous solo single, “Rockstar.”
