Life & Style Weekly says Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry’s relationship thrives on lots of intimate time together. An insider says, “This relationship works because of the physical connection between Katy and Orlando and it’s the big thing they have in common in addition to being parents together.

Life & Style Weekly says Carrie Underwood is allegedly stressed about judging on ‘’American Idol.’’ A source says, “Carrie is excited, but now that it’s official, she’s stressed out and under a lot of pressure. Though she isn’t admitting it, Carrie thinks she may have taken on too much. Haters claim Carrie will have a hard time living up to Katy, who was outrageous and a great mentor. Carrie is desperate to prove she will not only thrive but can also bring in the ratings. Mike didn’t want her to do Idol initially, but she insisted, and the paycheck is substantial. Mike is worried Carrie won’t be able to balance her life, commuting between Tennessee and L.A. It’s a huge adjustment, more than her residency in Las Vegas, which they never saw eye to eye on, either.”

It was plastic from here to here.”

The News International claims Prince Harry is allegedly disappointed because Meghan Markle reportedly canceled his plans for his upcoming 40th birthday party.An insider says, Prince Harry was very keen to go to the UK and party with his friends. She’s saying absolutely not. For one thing, it's a bad look for their brand. They’re hoping to hang out with the crème of society, with the Hollywood and political elite, so the idea of him knocking shots and acting like a fool with his pals in Mykonos or wherever is just the worst possible idea. Harry hates to let his friends back in the UK down but he has to make his wife and kids the priority and Meghan just isn’t going to be happy if he shirks his responsibilities to try and recapture the so-called good old days.”

Dear Fonseca,
I have a first date on Saturday night and promised myself I wouldn't Google the guy because I wanted to go in with an open mind. My curiosity got the best of me so I decided to look him up. Wow. He was once arrested and was bashed pretty hard by several ex-girlfriends online. This shocked me because now he has a good job and is not at all like his former girlfriends have described him. Some of my friends think I should cancel the date while others say I should go for it. I'm confused. Can a person's past define the future? Is it possible for a person to change? Should I go on the date or not? My best friend says, "A leopard never changes its spots."
