<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Singer </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/katy-perry"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Katy Perry</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> shocked the audience of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” Monday night when she revealed that this will be her last season serving as a judge on “</span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/american-idol"><span style="font-weight: 400;">American Idol</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The late-night host set up the announcement by asking Perry how much longer she planned to host the popular reality competition singing </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment"><span style="font-weight: 400;">show</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Well, you know, this fall, this September, I’m going to be doing this huge music festival in Brazil called Rock in Rio. It’s really exciting,” the 39-year-old singer replied, per </span><a href="https://nypost.com/2024/02/13/entertainment/katy-perry-quits-american-idol-after-7-seasons-i-need-to-feel-that-pulse-of-my-own-beat/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The New York Post</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. “It’s a big deal for people all over the world, especially my Brazilian fans.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“So I think this will probably be my last season for ‘Idol,’” she added, which prompted a gasp from the audience. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Perry continued, “I love &#8216;Idol&#8217; so much. It’s connected me with the heart of America. But I need to feel that pulse of my own beat.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The “Dark Horse” singer has been one of the panelist judges on “Idol” since the show was revived in 2018. She judges alongside Lionel Richie and country artist Luke Bryan.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When Kimmel asked how her co-stars reacted to the news, Perry indicated they didn’t know yet. “Well, they’ll find out tonight,” she joked.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The top-selling musical artist confirmed the announcement later with an Instagram </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C3RjSxjLNyt/?img_index=3"><span style="font-weight: 400;">post</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Let’s play two truths and a lie: 1. I beat @usher at Monopoly Deal. 2. I’m headlining Rock in Rio this September. 3. This is my last season on @americanidol,” she wrote in the image caption. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Perry’s time on “Idol” hasn’t been without controversy. The “Hot n Cold” singer faced backlash for </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mom-shaming-is-super-lame-young-mother-mocked-by-katy-perry-fires-back"><span style="font-weight: 400;">comments</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> she made to contestants, including last March when she reacted strongly to a young mother who told the singer she had three children by the age of 25.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“If Katy lays on the table, I think I’m going to pass out,” contestant Sara Beth Liebe said, to which Perry replied, “Honey, you been laying on the table too much.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Liebe later commented on the exchange, saying she found it “embarrassing” and “hurtful” to have had that happen on television. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Katy Perry made a joke that wasn’t super kind,” the contestant said. “I think that mom-shaming is super lame and I think that it’s hard enough to be a mom and it’s hard enough to be a woman,” Liebe added.</span></p>

But Perry’s suspect actions don’t come close to ending there.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here’s a list of five jarring moves from the </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/katy-perry-sparks-robot-comparisons-after-video-surfaces-of-bizarre-eye-glitch" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">sometimes-malfunctioning</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> 39-year-old “Teenage Dream” singer:</span></p>
<h2><b>‘Blood On Her Hands’ </b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Perry in 2015 tried to </span><a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/lifestyle/real-estate/inside-katy-perry-convent-sparked-a-real-estate-war-1247527/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">buy a property</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles that was previously bought and used as a convent and public place of prayer by some 50 nuns known as the Sisters of the </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Immaculate Heart of Mary. The Archdiocese of Los Angeles agreed to sell the property to the singer without the remaining living nuns’ consent. The nuns, in fact, felt very strongly that they did </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">not</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> want Perry to acquire the property after looking her up online, specifically referencing a video where the entertainer quips about selling her soul to the devil for fame. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;In selling to Katy Perry, we feel we are being forced to violate our canonical vows to the Catholic Church,” Sister Catherine Rose Holzman </span><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/20/us/nuns-intensify-fight-over-sale-of-convent-to-katy-perry.html#:~:text=%E2%80%9CIn%20selling%20to%20Katy%20Perry,%2415%20million%2C%20were%20being%20considered." target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">said in 2015</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Sister Rita Callanan also commented publicly, &#8220;I thought, is that a way to make money?&#8221; </span></p>

Fallon/Bloomberg via Getty Images</p></div>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Perry attempted to win over the nuns through a personal meeting where she sang gospel music and showed the sisters a tattoo on her wrist that says “Jesus.” They were not won over, and quickly moved to sell to another person, Dana Hollister, whom they did feel comfortable buying the property, in part because Hollister would turn the convent into a hotel, which the public could still have access to. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In response, the archdiocese sued the two nuns, arguing that Perry deserves the property. And Perry sued Hollister for interfering with her purchase. A judge decided against the sisters and Hollister, who was being targeted for even further punitive damages from the ordeal. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The nuns </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">begged</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Perry to stop going after them and Hollister, but Perry did not relent.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hollister, shortly after, had to declare bankruptcy, and the two nuns accompanied her in court to show their support. Outside the courtroom, Sister Rose pleaded, &#8220;Katy Perry, please stop. It&#8217;s not doing anyone any good except hurting a lot of people.&#8221; Hours later, the sister collapsed and died inside the courtroom. Sister Callanan said publicly that Perry “has blood on her hands.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The court outcome said Perry could have the property after Vatican approval. It’s still unclear if she’s received such approval.</span></p>

<h2><b>‘I Was Uncomfortable Immediately’ </b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In 2018, Perry kissed a young man without his consent on live television – an action that would have set the media on fire had the genders in this situation been reversed. Perry was acting as a judge on “American Idol” when a 19-year-old contestant named Benjamin Glaze was talking about his job as a cashier. Fellow judge Luke Bryan jokingly asked Glaze if he had ever “kissed a girl and liked it” – a reference to one of Perry’s hit songs. Perry then had Glaze kiss her on the cheek. She asked him for another peck, but tricked him by turning her head so the boy was locking lips with the pop singer. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Would I have done it if she (Perry) said, ‘Would you kiss me?’ No, I would have said no,” Glaze admitted to The New York Times in the aftermath of the incident. “I know a lot of guys would be like, ‘Heck yeah!’ But for me, I was raised in a conservative family and I was uncomfortable immediately. I wanted my first kiss to be special.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Glaze was so shaken up by the experience he spoke to his friends about it, and they reassured him that it was technically </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">not</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> his first kiss, since it wasn&#8217;t romantic. “It was lip contact versus a romantic situation with someone you care about,” Glaze said. “That’s what a real first kiss is.”</span></p>
<div id="attachment_658547" style="width: 874px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-658547" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-large wp-image-658547" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/11/GettyImages-932480808-864x576.jpg" alt="AMERICAN IDOL - 101 (Auditions) - The gold standard of all music competition series, American Idol, will make its highly anticipated return to television as superstar judges Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie set out on a journey across the nation to discover a new crop of inspiring talent with a touch of Disney magic, as it premieres its first season at its new home on Americas network, The Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Images Television Network, SUNDAY, MARCH 11 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EDT).

<h2><b>Mom-Shaming Bully</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Earlier this year, Perry made waves for </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mom-shaming-is-super-lame-young-mother-mocked-by-katy-perry-fires-back" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">bullying and mom-shaming</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> “American Idol” contestant Sara Beth Liebe. Before her audition, </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Liebe </span><a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/leylamohammed/katy-perry-mom-shaming-american-idol-contestant-sara-beth?d_id=5620666&amp;ref=bftwbuzzfeed&amp;utm_source=dynamic&amp;utm_campaign=bftwbuzzfeed" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">revealed</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that she had borne three children by the time she was 25-years-old. That prompted Perry to pretend she was going to faint. Liebe commented, “If Katy lays on the table, I think I’m going to pass out,” to which Perry replied, “Honey, you been laying on the table too much.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The awkward moment clearly made Liebe uncomfortable, but for good measure, Perry closed by telling the young mother, “Look, if it’s not your dream, you’re not gonna go far.” The comment was taken by some as a scolding from Perry because Liebe prioritized motherhood at a young age.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As for Liebe, she addressed Perry’s remarks online: “I don’t really have too much to say on my feelings about it because I feel like it’s probably pretty self-explanatory,” she said. “I mean, it was embarrassing to have that on TV and it was hurtful and you know, that’s that. But I did want to take this opportunity to just say that I think that women supporting and uplifting other women is so cool and I think that mom-shaming is super lame and I think that it’s hard enough to be a mom and it’s hard enough to be a woman. And I also wanted to take this opportunity to say that I see all of the young moms and just moms in general who have commented on all of the videos and posts and everything and I just wanted to say that I see you and I hear you and I am grateful for you and you’re worthy and keep loving your babies.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Nobody deserves to feel crappy about that,” she declared. “Like I mean, bottom line, I don’t think there’s anything really more to it. And I think if you’re a good mama and you love your babies that’s all that really matters and other comments just don’t feel necessary and that’s all I have to say on the matter.”</span></p>

<h2><b>Target: Elderly Vet With A Brain Disease </b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Perry’s real estate woes did not stop at her years-long battle with aging nuns. The pop singer is now entangled in more drama, this time with an elderly veteran named Carl Westcott, the founder of 1-800-Flowers, who says he </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/no-california-dreamin-katy-perry-has-more-housing-drama-looming" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">never meant to sell</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Perry and her husband, actor Orlando Bloom, his $15 million Santa Barbara estate.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Westcott, an 83-year-old battling Huntington’s disease, reportedly said he signed sale documents in July 2020 when he was under the influence of painkillers after having major back surgery, The Daily Wire’s Amanda Harding recently reported. Westcott tried to back out of the sale days later when he said the influence of the painkillers wore off, but Perry and Bloom refused his request and threatened to sue if he did not go through with the sale. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A representative for Perry and Bloom sent a letter following Westcott’s request to rescind the documents, saying he was legally obligated to complete the sale of the home. Westcott claims he never listed the home for sale and never asked a real estate professional to help sell it. He said he purchased the 9,285 square-foot, eight-bedroom, 11-bathroom home in May 2020, just two months before selling it to Perry and Bloom. Westcott further stated he had purchased with the intention of staying there “for the rest of his life.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The plaintiff had back surgery in July 2020 and three days later signed the sale paperwork. Westcott was allegedly presented with a written offer from Perry and Bloom for more money than he paid for the property in May. “Upon discharge from the hospital, Mr. Westcott was prescribed at least two opiates in pill form that he was to continue taking for pain, which he took as prescribed several times each day,” the complaint states. “’The combination of his age, frailty from his back condition and recent surgery, and the opiates he was taking several times a day rendered Mr. Westcott of unsound mind.” The veteran’s lawyers argue he was “unable to understand the nature and probable consequences of his actions” due to being on pain medication. They say their client is “in the final years of his life and cannot sell his home.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Westcott will not attend the trial because he is mentally incapacitated and bedridden, leaving his family to fight the celebrity couple over who should be the rightful owners of the estate. A nonjury trial is scheduled for August 21, 2023, per </span><a href="https://www.insider.com/katy-perry-nuns-los-angeles-convent-sale-feud-timeline-2019-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">USA Today</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The current status of the home’s occupants, if any, remains unclear.</span></p>

<h2><b>‘I Sold My Soul To The Devil’ </b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">More than a decade ago, Katy Perry talked to Australian model and actress Ruby Rose about her transformation from gospel music to secular pop music. Perry noted that she grew up in a Christian church and wanted to dominate the Christian music industry, but the label she was working with went bust. That’s apparently when she made her switch over to secular music. “I swear, I wanted to be the Amy Grant of Music, but it didn&#8217;t work out, and, so, I sold my soul to the devil,” Perry says during the interview. The joke, or the metaphor for her transformation, has been criticized online, particularly by Christians.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Perry, of course, is not the only Hollywood celebrity to engage in suspect actions, but she has routinely evaded a “cancellation.” Others, who don’t hold Perry’s views, would surely not have the same fate.</span></p>

Real estate

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pop star Katy Perry is once again headed to court with a property dispute.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This time, an elderly veteran is claiming he never meant to sell her and husband Orlando Bloom his sprawling $15 million Santa Barbara estate. And if this case sounds familiar, that’s because it is. In 2014, Perry went toe-to-toe with two elderly nuns, Catherine Rose Holzman and Rita Callanan, when an archbishop sold the convent out from under them, which they claimed he had no right to do.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The saddest detail of that ordeal? Holzman collapsed and died in the courtroom after going on record with her urgent plea, saying “Katy Perry, please stop. It&#8217;s not doing anyone any good except hurting a lot of people.” Callanan accused the “Dark Horse” singer of having “blood on her hands.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The optics of a millionaire celebrity battling an elderly veteran and two nuns over property may not be great, but the details of each situation make both cases worthy of debate. And of going to court.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">First up, Perry’s most recent </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/katy-perry-and-orlando-bloom-headed-to-court-for-property-dispute-over-15m-santa-barbara-estate" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">debacle</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. The 38-year-old mom of one is being sued by Carl Westcott, the founder of 1-800-Flowers.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A report obtained from Daily Mail found that Westcott, 83, said he signed sale documents in July 2020 when he was under the influence of painkillers after having major back surgery. Westcott had also been battling Huntington’s disease since 2015, which he is saying contributed to his inability to agree to binding legal documents.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Westcott tried to back out of the sale days later when he said the influence of the painkillers wore off, but Perry and Bloom refused his request and threatened to sue if he did not go through with the sale. A representative for Perry and Bloom sent a letter following Westcott’s request to rescind the documents, saying he was legally obligated to complete the sale of the home.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Westcott claims he never listed the home for sale and never asked a real estate professional to help sell it. He said he purchased the 9,285 square-foot, eight-bedroom, 11-bathroom home in May 2020, just two months before selling it to Perry and Bloom. Westcott further stated he had purchased with the intention of staying there “for the rest of his life.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The plaintiff had back surgery in July 2020 and three days later signed the sale paperwork. Westcott was allegedly presented with a written offer from Perry and Bloom for more money than he paid for the property in May.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Upon discharge from the hospital, Mr. Westcott was prescribed at least two opiates in pill form that he was to continue taking for pain, which he took as prescribed several times each day,” the complaint states.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“’The combination of his age, frailty from his back condition and recent surgery, and the opiates he was taking several times a day rendered Mr. Westcott of unsound mind.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The veteran’s lawyers argue he was “unable to understand the nature and probable consequences of his actions” due to being on pain medication. They say their client is “in the final years of his life and cannot sell his home.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Westcott will not attend the trial because he is mentally incapacitated and bedridden, leaving his family to fight the celebrity couple over who should be the rightful owners of the estate. One person who is part of the family is “Real Housewives of Dallas” star Kameron Westcott.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On the same day the news of Carl’s lawsuit started making headlines, Kameron discussed her father-in-law’s health battles on Instagram. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“My incredible father-in-law Carl has been suffering Huntington’s disease in silence….” she </span><a href="https://www.insider.com/katy-perry-nuns-los-angeles-convent-sale-feud-timeline-2019-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">wrote</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, sharing photos of the family. “Before Carl’s health continues to deteriorate I wanted to share some of our favorite happier memories with him and use his story, to share with you information on Huntington&#8217;s and to bring light to this terrible disease!” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A nonjury trial is scheduled for August 21, 2023, per </span><a href="https://www.insider.com/katy-perry-nuns-los-angeles-convent-sale-feud-timeline-2019-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">USA Today</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. The current status of the home’s occupants, if any, remains unclear.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Perry’s previous property dispute also made it to court. In 2014, Perry made an offer on a $14.5 million convent which belonged to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, an order of nuns who combined their money to purchase the property for $600,000 in 1972. As the population of nuns decreased, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles forced five remaining nuns to move out in 2011 despite them wishing to remain living there.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Two of the resident sisters met with Perry as she tried to convince them to sell to her, per a report from </span><a href="https://www.insider.com/katy-perry-nuns-los-angeles-convent-sale-feud-timeline-2019-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Insider</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. They said Perry was “nice,” but decided they would rather sell the property to restaurant owner Dana Hollister. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That was partly because of statements Perry had made. Holzman said she found a video of Perry joking about selling her soul to the devil in exchange for success.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Even mentioning that she would sell her soul to Satan is against our principles and beliefs,&#8221; Holzman told Billboard in 2015. &#8220;Katy Perry represents everything we don&#8217;t believe in. It would be a sin to sell to her.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hollister and the sisters completed the sale and the restaurateur moved in. He wanted to turn the convent into a hotel, but he got sued by Perry and the archdiocese, who claimed the nuns didn’t have the right to sell on their own in the first place. Eventually, the Vatican got involved.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In 2017, an L.A.-based judge ruled that Perry did have the right to purchase the property. The singer won her case against Hollister, who then declared bankruptcy.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Holzman and Callanan were the two nuns most involved in the legal drama. After Holzman died in court, her nephew Brian Holzman </span><a href="https://www.insider.com/katy-perry-nuns-los-angeles-convent-sale-feud-timeline-2019-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">told</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> RadarOnline, “[Katy Perry] is a pretty evil woman. It sounds like she is at it again. She is who she is, and she’s going to do what she’s going to do. It’s all about money and greed!”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Maybe the most perplexing detail of all is that Perry keeps getting into battles over California property after going on record saying how she prefers living outside the Hollywood “bubble.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I’m like, living in Kentucky, and I have for almost a month now. And that’s quite an amazing experience. Because it reminds you that Hollywood is not America,” the “I Kissed a Girl” singer told Chelsea Handler in May 2023, as The Daily Wire previously </span><a href="https://www.insider.com/katy-perry-nuns-los-angeles-convent-sale-feud-timeline-2019-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">reported</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She also discussed how living in other parts of the country, especially rural areas, can help celebrities understand how most people live.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“You need to remember that,” Perry said. “Because I think you can understand people better.”</span></p>

Lawsuit

<p>Former Katy Perry backup singer Tasha Layton said that after four years with the superstar she had the chance to launch a solo pop career — but she turned it down and instead chose a career serving God.</p>
<p>The 40-year-old Christian music singer and worship leader first got started in the music industry in 2010 when she tried out to be a contestant on Season 9 of  &#8220;American Idol.&#8221; And while she didn&#8217;t make it all the way to Hollywood, she did catch the eye of some people in the business — and landed a gig with Perry while still leading worship at her church when she could, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/katy-perrys-backup-singer-turned-down-pop-music-career-serve-god" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a> reported.</p>
<p>&#8220;I look back at those days and have a new perspective at the weight that Katy was carrying during that time and the pressure that was on her,&#8221; Layton said. &#8220;Waking up so early for photo shoots and interviews. And then the paparazzi. Fame changes your brain.&#8221;</p>

<p>And while she had nothing but praise for Perry as a &#8220;really compassionate person,&#8221; other stars she met behind the scenes she said were another story.</p>
<p>&#8220;We were doing a show and there were some other celebrities involved – I will not name their names,&#8221; Layton. &#8220;They were unprofessional. She didn&#8217;t badmouth them. She didn&#8217;t make it a big deal. She was just uber professional, and she made up the difference where they left off.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Having experienced that culture and that pressure from being on the road with Katy and seeing it firsthand, I got a bird&#8217;s-eye view of how damaging it can be to your soul,&#8221; she added. &#8220;And I just missed singing songs that directly connected people to God.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve always led worship in church,&#8221; Layton continued. &#8220;And you know, when I&#8217;m on my deathbed looking back, I&#8217;m not going to care that I built a career. I&#8217;m going to care that I helped people. I just didn&#8217;t see how a mainstream deal and the music that they wanted me to sing, the kind of thing that they wanted me to do, was going to be helpful for anyone and much less, connect people to who I believe is the creator of the universe.&#8221;</p>
<p>Layton said later when &#8220;there was a lot of money thrown at me to do that kind of thing, to do that kind of music, a pop album by a big label&#8221; it &#8220;wasn&#8217;t hard to turn it down.&#8221;</p>
<p>After touring with Perry, she took some time to deal with her mental health and finally decided what she wanted to do was share with others how God has been a guiding force in her life.</p>

<p>The 46-year-old country singer said he and the other judges get &#8220;set up&#8221; to fall on their &#8220;sword&#8221; when they critique contestants as he praised Perry for putting herself out there and &#8220;trying to have fun.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Katy Perry&#8217;s been dealing with stuff like that her whole career,&#8221; Bryan told <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/katy-perry-defended-fellow-american-idol-judge-luke-bryan-after-harsh-fan-criticism-we-get-set-up" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a>. &#8220;We all get it… I mean, we&#8217;re judging kids that people at home fall in love with.

<p>&#8220;I think we get set up,&#8221; he added. &#8220;As judges, you know, we kinda fall on the sword a lot of times. And get set up to where people can get very vocal on socials and stuff. My thing is, I think when me and Lionel [Richie] and Katy sit down at the desk, in our hearts, we&#8217;re doing the best we can.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Katy gets picked on for going out and trying to have fun making a TV show,&#8221; the country singer continued. &#8220;You can&#8217;t be so safe in the moment that you&#8217;re so homogenized, you can&#8217;t ever go for a joke. Or go for a fun moment. Sometimes you just gotta say stuff. &#8230; It may be my year next year. &#8230; It makes me appreciate her even more, just how big of a scale she&#8217;s had to deal with that her whole career.&#8221;</p>
<p>The comments came after the audience loudly booed the &#8220;Fireworks&#8221; singer after she criticized contestant Nutsa Buzaladze&#8217;s attire during the show.</p>
<p>It came after Buzaladze took to the stage and gave a widely praised performance of Grace Potter and the Nocturnals&#8217; &#8220;Paris (Ooh La La).&#8221; She wore a silver mini dress and sparkling high-heeled boots as she danced and rocked the stage.</p>

<p>When it came to Perry&#8217;s turn to comment, she said, &#8220;Nutsa, every time you take the stage, it&#8217;s like you glitter bomb the stage. Listen, I think that one thing I personally would like to see from you is not one piece of glitter the next time. I know that&#8217;s gonna be hard.&#8221;</p>
<p>In response, the audience started booing.</p>
<p>During another episode, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/katy-perry-accused-of-bullying-american-idol-contestant">Perry</a> was accused of &#8220;mom-shaming&#8221; contestant Sara Beth Liebe, a mother of three. Some fans said Perry was rude to Liebe after the contestant revealed her singing experience was basically the &#8220;church choir.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Is this your dream?&#8221; Perry asked Liebe, who appeared rattled and simply replied, &#8220;Um.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;If it&#8217;s not your dream, you might need to leave because there&#8217;s a lot of dreams behind you,&#8221; Perry added.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/american-idol-contestant-katy-perry-mocked-says-shes-not-even-mad-about-singer-mom-shaming-her-after-quitting">Liebe</a> eventually did walk away from the show to return to her family.</p>

‘American Idol’ Judge Luke Bryan Defends Katy Perry Following Backlash-Filled Season

<p>More and more celebrities lately have been getting honest about their marriage and relationships not being perfect and taking work in order to make things stronger.</p>
<p>Stars like <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tom-hanks-says-hes-made-only-four-pretty-good-movies-during-his-entire-career" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tom Hanks</a> and Rita Wilson have been married for more than three decades and the 66-year-old actor opened up in the past about what he and Wilson have found that makes their marriage work in a place like Hollywood where nothing seems to last.</p>
<p>The &#8220;Cast Away&#8221; star and Rita worked together on his 1985 comedy &#8220;Volunteers,&#8221; but he was married and was a young parent at the time, <a href="https://www.eonline.com/news/930517/inside-tom-hanks-and-rita-wilson-s-love-story-30[%E2%80%A6]family-travel-foot-rubs-and-the-best-damn-support-system-ever" target="_blank" rel="noopener">E! News</a> noted. By the end of 1986 they were a couple and his divorce to his first wife was official in early 1987. Hanks and Wilson made things official in 1988 and now 35 years later, they are still going strong.</p>
<p>&#8220;When I married Rita, I thought, &#8216;This is going to require some change on my part,'&#8221; Hanks told <a href="https://www.oprah.com/omagazine/oprah-interviews-tom-hanks/all" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oprah Winfrey</a> in 2001. &#8220;I won&#8217;t deny that providence was part of us finding each other, but our relationship isn&#8217;t magic — the way it&#8217;s shown in movies.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;In real life, our connection is as concrete as me sitting here,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Not that marriage doesn&#8217;t come close to being hell in a handbasket sometimes. But we both know that no matter what, we&#8217;ll be with each other — and we&#8217;ll get through it.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;People say, &#8216;Jeez, it must be hard to stay married in show business,'&#8221; Hanks told <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/tom-hanks-reveals-fears-going-9007557">The Mirror</a> in 2016. &#8220;I think it&#8217;s hard to stay married anywhere, but if you marry the right person, it might work out. We give each other a natural sense of support for whatever the other wants to pursue.&#8221;</p>
<p>More recently, stars like <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hollywood-is-not-america-katy-perry-talks-ditching-l-a-bubble-for-kentucky" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Katy Perry</a> and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/big-historical-things-orlando-bloom-says-katy-perry-will-be-singing-at-king-charles-iii-coronation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Orlando Bloom</a> — who are engaged and have yet to tie the knot after the pandemic sidelined the couple&#8217;s <a href="https://people.com/music/katy-perry-still-hoping-for-destination-location-wedding-after-covid-delays/">wedding plans</a> — have not held back when admitting juggling two very different careers isn&#8217;t easy, but worth it.</p>
<p>Perry and Bloom made headlines in 2019 when they got engaged after being together for three years. In August 2020, the couple welcomed their first child together, a daughter, Daisy Dove.</p>
<p>The 46-year-old actor recently talked about his relationship with his fiancé, calling aspects of it &#8220;really, really, really challenging,&#8221; but said he feels &#8220;blessed&#8221; that the two found each other, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/orlando-bloom-calls-parts-of-relationship-with-katy-perry-really-challenging-but-feels-blessed-to-have-found-her" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.</p>

<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re in two very different pools,&#8221; Bloom shared. &#8220;Her pool is not a pool that I necessarily understand, and I think my pool is not a pool that she necessarily understands. Sometimes things are really, really, really, challenging. I won&#8217;t lie.'&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We definitely battle with our emotions and creativity,&#8221; he added. &#8220;But I think we&#8217;re both aware of how blessed we are to have uniquely connected in the way that we did at the time that we did, and there&#8217;s definitely never a dull moment.&#8221;</p>
<p>The &#8220;American Idol&#8221; judge also made news recently when she posted a message on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CrpovAAOTyJ/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;ig_rid=0f33732e-da08-4ed6-a197-d343e5f670b7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram</a> that read, &#8220;Orlando and I&#8217;s initials are O.K. We continuously put in the work to make sure they aren&#8217;t K.O.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Find yourself a partner that will go down to the mat with you and get back up every time,&#8221; she added. &#8220;I love you my fighter [OrlandoBloom].&#8221;</p>
<p>Bloom was previously married to model Miranda Kerr from 2010-2013, and the pair share a son. Perry and Russell Brand tied the knot in 2010 and divorced two years later.</p>
<p>Country singer Keith Urban opened up about his 16 years of marriage to superstar Nicole Kidman in 2022 and explained that marriage isn&#8217;t always easy, but it&#8217;s worth the work.</p>

<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s two people, just trying to figure out how to make it work like any couple&#8217;s trying to figure out how to make it work,&#8221; Urban told 103.7 <a href="https://tasteofcountry.com/keith-urban-nicole-kidman-marriage-advice/#:~:text=%E2%80%9CIt's%20two%20people%2C%20just%20trying,a%20day%20at%20a%20time.%22">KSON in San Diego.</a> &#8220;We&#8217;ve all got our circumstances and challenges; whatever they are, we just figure it out a day at a time.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Everybody figures out what works for them,&#8221; he added. &#8220;We&#8217;ve figured out what works for us. And that&#8217;s why, when people ask me for advice, I don&#8217;t have any, because you&#8217;ve got to work out what works for you two, not for anybody else.&#8221;</p>
<p>Speaking to <a href="https://www.hellomagazine.com/brides/20211217129251/nicole-kidman-surprising-confession-marriage-keith-urban/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Australia&#8217;s &#8220;Today&#8221; show</a> in 2021, the actress said despite it appearing like they have the perfect relationship, she doesn&#8217;t want her marriage to be seen as that.</p>
<p>&#8220;We don&#8217;t want to be a pin-up couple,&#8221; Kidman said. &#8220;We just want to be a couple that has a great life together.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Everyone has the right to their own relationship,&#8221; she added. &#8220;We are just very protective of our little bubble. What works for us is what works for us.&#8221;</p>
<p>Kidman and Urban tied the knot in 2006 and share two kids together. She was previously married to Tom Cruise and shares two kids with him.</p>
<p>Reality TV star Chip Gaines- who gained fame with he and wife Joanna Gaines home design show &#8220;Fixer Upper&#8221; on HGTV-recently opened up about how the couple will soon celebrate their 20-year wedding anniversary and admitted it &#8220;hasn&#8217;t been the perfect story,&#8221; <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/chip-gaines-joanna-fought-like-hell-family-hasnt-been-perfect-story">Fox News</a> noted.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve had to fight like hell for our family and learn to hold loosely what we can&#8217;t control,&#8221; Gaines said in the summer issue of their Magnolia Journal. &#8220;But we did all that together. The two of us.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Marriage is interesting that way,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Whatever I go through, Jo goes through. And whatever she goes through, I go through. Life has done us plenty of favors and showed us things we&#8217;ve been beyond blessed to see.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve also had some hard times—some the world knows about, and plenty it doesn&#8217;t,&#8221; Chip continued. &#8220;Like anyone else, we&#8217;ve been sick and sad and hurt and lost and flat out of ideas on how to turn things around.&#8221;</p>
<p>And now 20 years later with five kids, Gaines said it&#8217;s those hard times that bonded them. &#8220;We might&#8217;ve wished back then for calmer seas and slower days when we were in the thick of parenting small kids and growing a business alongside them, but now I wouldn&#8217;t wish any of it away,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m so thankful to God for giving us exactly what we&#8217;ve had, and for what I know we still have ahead: plenty to build—hand-in-hand,&#8221; Gaines continued.</p>

<p>The 46-year-old country singer recently told Megan Danielle, a waitress from Douglasville, Georgia, that he was impressed with her commitment.</p>
<p>It happened on Monday&#8217;s show after Danielle sang, &#8220;Go Rest High on That Mountain&#8221; in honor of her grandfather, who passed away last year. She sang the same song at his funeral.</p>
<p>&#8220;I can&#8217;t imagine what you were feeling during that performance,&#8221; host Ryan Seacrest told the contestant. &#8220;You definitely honored him.&#8221;</p>

<p>Bryan explained that he was the one who picked the song for the young contestant and said it&#8217;s because she&#8217;s always willing to share her faith.</p>
<p>&#8220;What I love about you — I mean, we&#8217;re way beyond loving your voice — is you&#8217;re, you know, you&#8217;re never scared to tell everybody your faith,&#8221; Bryan said. &#8220;And when I thought about that song, I just felt in my heart that I couldn&#8217;t pick a better one than that for you.&#8221;</p>
<p>As Bryan explained his choice, Danielle became emotional and started tearing up, trying not to break down crying on the show. Seacrest then handed the contestant a handkerchief.</p>
<p>Idol judge <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/american-idol-judge-katy-perry-falls-flat-on-her-back-in-mermaid-costume" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lionel Richie</a> agreed that her performance was moving and said, &#8220;You have the amazing ability to touch. A lot of people can sing. But you have an amazing ability to touch.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Your voice is so powerful when it comes down to just telling your story,&#8221; he added. &#8220;I know your Paw Paw is very, very happy for what you did today.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;I think he&#8217;s trying to tell you that you are exactly where you&#8217;re meant to be right now,&#8221; Perry said. &#8220;And you deserve this moment Megan. And it&#8217;s a wonderful confirmation and I don&#8217;t believe in any coincidences &#8230; so I just think that was heaven-sent.&#8221;</p>

‘American Idol’ Judge Luke Bryan Praises Contestant For Not Being ‘Scared’ To Share ‘Your Faith’

Country singer

<p>Hollywood star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/orlando-bloom">Orlando Bloom</a> gushed about his fiancee singer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/katy-perry">Katy Perry</a> when he talked about how she&#8217;s been present at &#8220;big, historical things&#8221; and would again be when she performs at King Charles III coronation celebration.</p>
<p>The 46-year-old actor spoke to <a href="https://www.etonline.com/orlando-bloom-reacts-to-his-girl-katy-perry-representing-at-king-charles-coronation-exclusive">Entertainment Tonight</a> in Las Vegas at Sony Pictures&#8217; presentation at CinemaCon 2023, and he couldn&#8217;t help but brag about his &#8220;girl&#8221; being part of the coronation concert for the king on May 7 — despite the fact that he would not get to be there with her.</p>
<p>&#8220;My girl&#8217;s gonna be singing, that&#8217;s fun,&#8221; Bloom told the outlet. &#8220;I&#8217;m not gonna make it there, sadly, but she&#8217;s representing which is cool.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;She does those big, historical things,&#8221; he added. &#8220;It&#8217;s wonderful. She sang for the president too. She does that.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Who&#8217;s left?&#8221; the &#8220;Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl&#8221; star quipped. &#8220;Maybe the pope. So yeah, it&#8217;s exciting.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m grateful I get to go,&#8221; Perry said. &#8220;I met His Majesty-to-be a few years ago and he named me as one of the ambassadors to his organization, The British Asian Trust, which is an organization that helps fight to end child trafficking,&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So, I&#8217;m also an ambassador for UNICEF, and it really aligned with my values,&#8221; she added. &#8220;That&#8217;s mostly why I&#8217;m going, to be an ambassador and to say, &#8216;Hey, this is me from the USA.&#8217; No, but it&#8217;s so cool.&#8221;</p>
<p>Bloom and Perry made headlines when the couple announced they were engaged in 2019 after three years together. The following year, the pandemic sidelined the &#8220;Dark Horse&#8221; hitmaker&#8217;s plans to tie the knot in Japan, <a href="https://pagesix.com/article/katy-perry-and-orlando-blooms-complete-relationship-timeline/">Page Six</a> noted.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was very sweet,&#8221; Perry recounted on &#8220;Jimmy Kimmel Live!&#8221; later. &#8220;It was Valentine&#8217;s Day … we went to dinner and I thought we were going to go see some art after dinner but we pulled up to a helicopter.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We landed on a rooftop [in Los Angeles] — my whole family was there, and all my friends,&#8221; she added. &#8220;He did so well.&#8221;</p>
<p>In August 2020, the couple welcomed their first child together, a daughter, Daisy Dove.</p>
<p>Bloom was previously married to model Miranda Kerr from 2010-2013, and the pair share a son. Perry and Russell Brand tied the knot in 2010 and divorced two years later.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/katy-perry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Katy Perry</a> got loudly booed by the audience on the latest episode of  &#8220;American Idol&#8221; after she criticized another contestant, making it the first time in her tenure on the show that it happened to the celebrity judge.</p>
<p>In clips of Monday&#8217;s show, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/katy-perry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">38-year-old</a> pop singer seemed less impressed with contestant Nutsa Buzaladze&#8217;s attire during the reality singing contest that&#8217;s now been narrowed down to 26 contestants.</p>
<p>It came after Buzaladze took to the stage and gave a widely praised performance of Grace Potter and the Nocturnals&#8217; &#8220;Paris (Ooh La La).&#8221; She was dressed in a silver mini dress and high-heeled sparkling boots as she danced and rocked the stage.</p>
<p>When it came to Perry&#8217;s turn to comment on the performance, she said, &#8220;Nutsa, every time you take the stage, it&#8217;s like you glitter bomb the stage.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Listen, I think that one thing I personally would like to see from you is not one piece of glitter the next time,&#8221; she added. &#8220;I know that&#8217;s gonna be hard.&#8221;</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>It was after that last comment that the booing from the crowd started and grew louder before Perry&#8217;s fellow celebrity judge Luke Bryan noted that she had finally been booed.</p>
<p>&#8220;Yes! Katy got booed!&#8221; Bryan said. Fellow judge Lionel Richie added, &#8220;Whoa, hostility!&#8221; <a href="https://ew.com/tv/katy-perry-booed-american-idol-glitter/https://ew.com/tv/katy-perry-booed-american-idol-glitter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Entertainment Weekly</a> noted.</p>
<p>However, the &#8220;Firework&#8221; star didn&#8217;t seem fazed by the crowd&#8217;s reaction and said, &#8220;OK, first time in six seasons.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;Whoo-hoo!&#8221; she added. &#8220;But what I&#8217;m saying is that I&#8217;d like you to flip the script. I think we want to be, like, pulled in by our hearts, too. I&#8217;d love to see that, and I think America might, too.&#8221;</p>
<p>Perry previously faced criticism from viewers who accused her of being a bully for &#8220;mom-shaming&#8221; contestant Sara Beth Liebe, a mother of three.</p>
<p>Some fans of the show said Perry was rude to Liebe after the mom revealed her singing expertise was basically the &#8220;church choir.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Is this your dream?&#8221; Perry asked the contestant, who appeared rattled and simply replied, &#8220;Um.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;If it&#8217;s not your dream, you might need to leave because there&#8217;s a lot of dreams behind you,&#8221; the &#8220;Teenage Dream&#8221; hitmaker added.</p>
<p>Liebe admitted she was &#8220;still processing&#8221; being away from her kids before she finally started with her first song. However, Perry seemed unimpressed and prodded her, &#8220;Show us what your voice can do. Take it to the limit. No looking back. Sing it like it&#8217;s your new dream &#8230;.&#8221;</p>

Katy Perry Gets Booed On ‘American Idol’ Over Her Criticism Of Another Contestant

Twitter

<p>&#8220;American Idol&#8221; contestant Sara Beth Liebe said she&#8217;s &#8220;not even mad&#8221; about pop singer <a href="https://twitter.com/Daily_Express/status/1632833430324125697?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Katy Perry</a> &#8220;mom-shaming&#8221; her on the show despite deciding to quit the competition to be home with her family.</p>
<p>The contestant, a 25-year-old mother of three, shared a video on Tuesday on her Instagram Story in which she talked about her desire to just &#8220;do music&#8221; — after previously sharing that her &#8220;heart&#8217;s at home&#8221; and not staying to compete in the singing competition, <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/04/05/sara-beth-liebe-not-even-mad-about-katy-perrys-mom-shaming/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Page Six</a> reported.</p>
<p>&#8220;If you watch my videos, you&#8217;d know that I&#8217;m not even mad. I&#8217;m just trying to do music,&#8221; the former &#8220;American Idol&#8221; contestant said.</p>
<p>The reality TV contestant said she had to address the comments because people have been claiming that her decision to leave the show was some kind of ploy &#8220;on her end&#8221; to get her &#8220;15 minutes of fame or whatever the hell everyone is saying.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m so over it. No more,&#8221; Liebe said, as she sent a message to members of the media she&#8217;s not going to comment any further about her time on the show.</p>
<p>The contestant made headlines in March when Perry was accused of being a &#8220;mean girl&#8221; and &#8220;bullying&#8221; Liebe during a recent episode.</p>
<p>During the hit ABC reality TV talent competition, fans said the 38-year-old &#8220;American Idol&#8221; judge was rude to the singer after Liebe&#8217;s revealed her singing expertise was basically the &#8220;church choir,&#8221; as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/katy-perry-accused-of-bullying-american-idol-contestant" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Is this your dream?&#8221; Perry asked the contestant, who appeared rattled and simply replied, &#8220;Um.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;If it&#8217;s not your dream, you might need to leave because there&#8217;s a lot of dreams behind you,&#8221; the &#8220;Firework&#8221; hitmaker added.</p>

However, Perry seemed unimpressed and prodded her, &#8220;Show us what your voice can do. Take it to the limit. No looking back. Sing it like it&#8217;s your new dream. More of that! Hold it out.&#8221;</p>

<p>The singer then named Liebe the &#8220;Accidental American Idol.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Look, if it&#8217;s not your dream, it&#8217;s not gonna go far because I also respect everyone that&#8217;s walking through that door who will lay down their life for this golden ticket [to Hollywood],&#8221; Perry explained.</p>
<p>Liebe did finally get picked and moved on through the competition, making it to Hollywood Week before she <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/katy-perry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> she was leaving.</p>
<p>&#8220;This opportunity is really rad, but this is actually gonna be my last performance &#8217;cause my heart&#8217;s at home,&#8221; the contestant said. &#8220;So I’m gonna get home to my babies. They kinda need me. So thank you.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;No, girl! I can&#8217;t cave,&#8221; Perry insisted. &#8220;I made a promise. Three months.&#8221;</p>
<p>The &#8220;Roar&#8221; hitmaker is embarking on her sobriety trek with the help of the &#8220;Pirates of the Caribbean&#8221; star, who has credited Perry with being his biggest cheerleader, <a href="https://www.iheart.com/content/2023-03-29-katy-perry-reveals-shes-5-weeks-sober-after-pact-with-orlando-bloom/">Iheartradio.com</a> noted.</p>

<p>&#8220;What she does is so empowering for young musicians with everything with Idol,&#8221; he added. &#8221; Then she can go and put on a powerhouse show in Vegas. We support, it&#8217;s who we are.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;Katy&#8217;s a force and we both have these pools we swim in and we recognize each other&#8217;s pools and we go, &#8216;Hey, I&#8217;m over here. We&#8217;re doing this.&#8217; And it&#8217;s great,&#8221; the actor continued.</p>
