0Katy Perry Took A Break From John Mayer To Deal With Feelings Over Russell Brand

Katy Perry sat down with Marie Claire and told them everything about her love life, specifically, why she and now-boyfriend John Mayer took some time off. Personally, I’ve always thought that he broke up with her and not the other way around, but Ms. Perry makes it seem like she needed to take time away from Mayer to deal with feelings she had about ex-husband Russell Brand. From Marie Claire:

I took a break from my boyfriend, not one that I wanted. It was like a splash of cold water to search inward on what was going on with me. That is what led me to this new awakening, this realizing, If I don’t do some self-love, I’m not going to be able to keep the love that I want. I still needed to deal with all of my ex-husband stuff. I hadn’t.

It’s almost like if I kept on talking about it [the Russell Brand relationship], it would seem like I actually cared about it. I don’t.

I still think she and Brand broke up because his sex addiction came roaring back, but it’s just a theory.

She also talks about having kids:

I’m definitely not there yet, and I can’t plan that far in advance. When I decide to have a family, I’ll just want to be Mom for a little bit … [Brand] really wanted me to have children, and I knew I wasn’t ready—I think it was a way of control. I think it was part of, If I have a kid, then I would have to sacrifice—I’d have to be at home more. I really wanted to, but I knew I wasn’t ready for it. It wasn’t like, ‘Hey, let’s have a kid because we’re in love.’

0Kanye On Performing Live: “I’m Putting My Life At Risk, Literally!”

Kanye West said something over-the-top and ridiculous — how incredibly unusual for him! He never does that. Ever. So this time, Kanye said that he “literally” risks his life every time he performs live and that it’s like “being in war.” Seriously. From an interview he did with SaturdayNightOnline via NBC News:

Like, I’m just giving of my body on the stage; I’m putting my life at risk, literally! I think about when I’m on the ‘Can’t Tell Me Nothing,’ and ‘Coldest Winter’ moment, like that mountain [a prop on stage] goes really, really high. And if I slipped … You never know. And I think about it, I think about my family and I’m like, ‘Wow.’ … This is like, being a police officer or something, in war or something.

Yes, Kanye, it’s exactly like that. This is the mountain he’s referring to, by the way:

God, sometimes it’s so hard being a Kanye fan.

0Britney Wants A Girl So She Can Have A “Mini-Me”

Britney Spears just turned 32 and seems to have it all, except for one important thing — a baby girl. She’s got 2 boys she loves dearly, but she wants her own “mini-me” and that’s something she thinks she can get from a baby girl. From InStyle via Huffington Post:

I would like to be busy the first couple of years, but then I would really like to have another baby, a girl. I think she would be like a mini-me. I think it’s going to be crazy. I’m not going to feel as alone in the world anymore. I’m going to feel like I have a second person, like, that’s me.

Wow. I don’t know, but that seems like a lot of pressure to put on a baby.

What do you guys think about Britney’s comments on wanting to have a baby girl?

(Also, doesn’t she kind of look like Hayden Panettiere on that cover? What’s up with that?)

1Oh No! Prince Harry’s In Danger!

Well, not really, but here’s the scoop: Prince Harry is at the South Pole (in? on?) as part of the Walking With The Wounded South Pole Allied Challenge, but it’s now been halted due to inclement weather, which has made the terrain all wonky and totally unsafe to be on. The Challenge’s director Ed Parker released the following statement:

“Until now, the three teams have been racing against one another across the Antarctic plateau, but yesterday I took the decision to suspend the race.

“The reason for this is entirely simple – safety, which remains the core principle of our expeditions. While all three teams were progressing well, it was becoming evident that there was a higher degree of stress imposed on the team members, due to unprecedented terrain on the plateau.”

Don’t worry, though – the whole thing hasn’t been cancelled, just postponed. When it starts up again, the Australian-Canadian, UK and US teams won’t even have to compete against each other any more. They can just travel at their own pace and enjoy the scenery, I guess.

I’m just glad Prince Harry’s safe. He’s got to protect the throne of the Most Handsome Ginger.

0Peter Capaldi Jokes He’s “Too Young” to Play the Doctor in ‘Doctor Who’

Peter Capaldi is going to be the new Doctor on Doctor Who, which I personally think is an interesting and potentially great casting choice – perhaps the first good decision Steven Moffat has made in the history of the show (I really hate him). A lot of people were pretty concerned about the whole “Capaldi is kind of an old dude” angle, but Moffat has said that he acts like the youngest doctor yet, and here’s what Capaldi himself had to say to PA about it:

“Well, The Doctor is thousands of years old, they’ve never actually been able to find an actor old enough to play him.”

“I’m like, 1,995 years too young for the part really. So no, I think he’s going to be quite happy to look his age at last.”

Ha! Now, how many of you watch Doctor Who? I always assume it’s as much of a thing over here in the US, though I know that’s not quite the case. For those of you who do watch, what do you think of Capaldi?

It took me AGES to warm up to Matt Smith, and unfortunately I think he’s been cursed – as Capaldi will be – with terrible showrunning from Moffat, who’s hell-bent on ruining this series and running it into the ground, but I dunno, maybe he can make something good of it. Or maybe I can just pop my DVDs of the Russell Davies years in for the 500th time and remember simpler days.
