Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau‘s relationship seems to be “roaring” along: The two stepped out together as a couple in Paris.
TMZ had photos of the two walking out of the famed Crazy Horse Paris cabaret club hand-in-hand and smiling on Oct. 25, which happened to be Katy’s birthday.
The two were first rumored to be dating in July, when they were seen sharing a meal at a restaurant in Montreal. Then, photos appeared of the two smooching on a yacht off the California coast.
Katy and her fiancé Orlando Bloom, the father of her daughter Daisy Dove Bloom, split in June. Trudeau and his wife, Sophie Grégoire, broke up in 2023 after 19 years of marriage.

After spending months promoting his biopic, Bruce Springsteen returned to the stage Sunday night to join his E Street Band guitarist Stevie Van Zandt for a bash at The Stone Pony in Asbury Park, New Jersey.
The Boss made a surprise appearance at Stevie’s Party and the Pony, a benefit for Van Zandt’s TeachRock, a free educational initiative, which brings “sound, stories, and science of music” to kindergarten through 12th grade classrooms.
According to setlist.fm, Bruce joined Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul for three songs: a cover of the Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes track “I Don’t Wanna Go Home,” a cover of Eddie Floyd’s “Raise Your Hand” and Bruce’s classic “Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out.”
The performance also featured other members of the E Street Band, including saxophonist Jake Clemons, Curtis King Jr. and more.
The Stone Pony shared video on Instagram of Bruce onstage with Stevie, captioning the clip, “Happy birthday Stevie & Maureen,” the latter being Stevie’s wife. “Thanks for the visit, @springsteen — and for helping the Van Zandts create @teachrockorg, keeping music and arts in schools nationwide.”
In other Bruce news, the rocker’s biopic, Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, starring Jeremy Allen White as The Boss, opened in theaters this weekend. It debuted in fourth place at the box office, bringing in $9.1 million.

At many Sabrina Carpenter concerts, before she performs the song “Juno,” she pulls out a set of fuzzy pink handcuffs and “arrests” a celebrity in the audience for being too attractive. Kicking off a run of five sold-out shows in Madison Square Garden on Sunday night, Sabrina’s New York City “arrestee” was an Oscar-winning actress.
Commenting on the attractiveness of the New York crowd, Sabrina zeroed in on a woman in the audience and said, “It should be a crime to be this gorgeous. What’s your name?” The cameras then revealed it was Anne Hathaway in the audience.
“I mean, I just don’t know what to do when I see a face in the crowd like this,” Sabrina continued. “Where are you from?” Hathaway replied, “Genovia,” referencing the fictional country in the movie The Princess Diaries whose throne her character, Mia, learns she is the heir to.
“Has anyone ever told you you look like a princess?” Sabrina asked, as the crowd screamed. “I’m in the presence of a princess — I’m getting so flustered,” she continued. “Can I arrest you for being the most perfect princess in the world?”
“This one’s for Anne, everybody! My Juno girl!” Sabrina added before starting the song.
Also during the show, Sabrina gave fans the tour debut of “Go-Go Juice,” one of the songs on her new album Man’s Best Friend. It was selected during a surprise song segment, where she spins a bottle and performs the one of a handful of songs the bottle stops on.
Sabrina’s run of Short n’ Sweet shows continues at the Garden on Oct. 28, 29, 31 and Nov. 1.
This Halloween, Justin Moore will be going as the chauffeur.
That’s because in Justin’s hometown of Poyen, Arkansas — population 269 — the stops are too far apart to walk.
“You know, where we’re from, it’s not the typical Halloween that most kids, I guess, have,” Justin says. “We drive them around because we don’t live in a neighborhood. We drive ‘em to the people who we know, like my aunts and uncles and my parents and, you know, our family, our pastor.”
“Usually we have like a church hayride,” he adds. “We’re kind of in our own little bubble, in a sense, in our town, and really the surrounding communities.”
Justin has four kids: 15-year-old Ella Kole Moore, 13-year-old Kennedy Faye Moore, 11-year-old Rebecca Klein Moore and 8-year-old Thomas South Moore.

Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Joe Walsh is giving fans a chance to own some items from his personal archives.
Julien’s Auctions has announced details for the Life’s Been Good: Joe Walsh auction, happening Dec. 16-17 in Los Angeles and online. The auction will include a treasure trove of the Eagles guitarist’s personal items, including over 400 guitars, plus cars, gear, stage wardrobe and more.
Ahead of the auction, Julien’s is offering two exclusive limited-edition box sets, highlighting Walsh’s career, as well as the items on the auction block. The Limited Number Edition box set, limited to 200 copies, includes a two-volume photography book featuring the items offered in the auction, hand-signed by Walsh, with a numbered metal card on the cover, and a surprise gift from the rocker. The Limited Edition Print set comes with the signed book. Both include a collectible card that plays Walsh’s Eagles hit “Life’s Been Good” when opened.
A portion of the proceeds from the auction and the box set will go toward Walsh’s VetsAid, which raises money for veterans services charities.
“Wow! Look at all this cool stuff I’ve collected over the years, and it seems to me like it was about time to share it!” Walsh said in a statement. “Some of these items really meant a lot to me, and this is a great way to raise money for VetsAid and to give back to my fans.”
This year’s VetsAid concert is taking place Nov. 15 in Walsh’s hometown of Wichita, Kansas. It will feature full sets from Eagles touring member Vince Gill and Ryan Bingham and The Texas Gentlemen, as well as a “super-set” from Walsh, joined by Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks of the Tedeschi Trucks Band, Nathaniel Rateliff and other special guests.

Instrumentation is a huge part of Leon Thomas‘ new EP, Pholks, and he says that was an intentional decision. Speaking to The Cut, he shares it was his way to send a message about the importance of live music.
“I’m a big fan of artists like Jimi Hendrix and Prince, and I think being able to accentuate live musicianship is an important thing in R&B right now,” he explains. “There’s just a lot happening on the technology front, and I think it was important for me to put my foot down and say, ‘Live music still matters.'”
“Musicians getting together and jamming through a record is important…,” he continued. “I wanted to dig into that…and Pholks was an opportunity for me to make a band with my friends and experiment with that live sound in R&B.”
The EP was also Leon’s way of documenting his life and journey on how to love while simultaneously paying homage to the ’70s era, with which he “was obsessed.”
“[Pholks] was an opportunity for us as a collective — me, Robert Gehringer and David Phelps — to put our brains together to create aspects of a crossover that felt genuinely specific to us but also paid homage to the folks that inspire us, hence the title,” he says.
Some of those inspirations Leon mentions, in addition to Hendrix and Prince, are Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Quincy Jones.
Wolfgang Van Halen‘s latest Mammoth album, The End, is out now. With the project’s third full-length studio effort, Wolf found that he “just threw more stuff at the wall.”
“I think you can hear that with [opener] ‘One of a Kind’ or even the title track where it was, like, ‘What if this one slow idea I had just kinda explodes and takes that motif to, like, a punky place?’ or ‘What if we opened this with a 40-second tapping intro that’s really epic?'” Wolf tells ABC Audio.
“It was just kinda try random stuff and see if it worked,” he continues. “I think a lot of it did, and that’s why this record, I feel, is a bit more elevated and comfortable.”
Lyrically, The End takes on an almost adversarial tone, with Wolf often expressing his feelings in contrast with an unnamed “you.” There are also repeated mentions of feelings including selfishness and trust.
All that adds up to what Wolf calls “the closest thing to a concept album without me really dedicating to it.”
“I think it all came from just the same headspace in telling those stories and exploring those feelings,” Wolf says. “I think that’s why it kind of does show up like a motif, just selfishness and what home is and who to believe and who not to believe.”
One thing Wolf certainly believes in is live music, and he’ll be taking Mammoth on a U.S. tour starting Friday in Rancho Mirage, California.
“As the record is an evolution, the show is gonna be an evolution, too,” Wolf says. “We’re investing a bit more into the show itself, we’re gonna have this, like, screen now, which is really crazy. It’s gonna be really exciting, I can’t wait to see it.”

Toni Cornell opens up about the death of her father, Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell, in an interview with Teen Vogue.
“Honestly, I love talking about him,” Toni, 21, says of her late dad. “Maybe a couple of years ago it would’ve been harder for me to do that.”
“The idea of grief, at the end of the day, it’s just love,” she continues. “At first, it’s pain and it’s awful, and you think it’s unbearable, but you learn how to live with it, and it turns into you honoring and remembering someone you love.”
Toni memorably performed a rendition of Leonard Cohen‘s “Hallelujah” on Good Morning America in 2017 following the death of her father and Linkin Park‘s Chester Bennington, who passed away within just months of each other that year. She continues to honor Chris through her own music career, and recalls telling him as a kid that she wanted to be just like him when she grew up.
“He would tell me, ‘No, Toni, you’re going to be just like you,'” Toni says.
The video for Toni’s latest single, “Campari,” is out now.
Meanwhile, Chris and the rest of Soundgarden will be honored with their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The ceremony takes place Nov. 8.

Ariana Grande‘s tour doesn’t start until June of 2026, but she already knows exactly what she’ll be singing when she hits the road for the first time since 2019.
Appearing on Evan Ross Katz‘s podcast Shut Up Evan, Ari explained that she felt like she “had” to do a tour after she put out the deluxe version of her album Eternal Sunshine. “I really felt like I’m going to be really sad if I don’t sing this album live. I love this album, and I need to sing it,” she shared.
“And I think that would be a really special experience for me and my fans and also, how beautiful to re-imagine my relationship to touring in this baby step way … I think it’ll be so fun to see the fans,” she added.
Unfortunately, she warned, “This probably won’t happen for a long time again after this one.”
But fans should be glad they’re even getting this tour, as Ari also told Katz that before making Wicked, she was considering quitting music entirely — but making the movie inspired her not to.
“I didn’t think I was going to make an album ever again when I left for London [to make the movie],” she said. “That was kind of my secret, but I didn’t think I was going to, you know?” But while playing Glinda, she explained, “I felt like just a genuine spark, like a reconnection and inspiration and something, I mean, maybe I missed it. Maybe it’s as simple as I missed it.”
“I think I learned so much, and then also I genuinely wanted to do it. I just felt like I couldn’t not,” she noted. “It was an inspired moment and I had to write an album and I had to do it.”

You can now call her Mrs., maybe: Carly Rae Jepsen is officially a married woman.
The pop star exchanged vows with music producer Cole M.G.N. in an intimate celebration at New York City’s legendary Chelsea Hotel on Oct. 4, Vogue reports.
The couple chose the iconic Bard Room, a nod to the hotel’s rich artistic history and its personal significance to them as a creative sanctuary during trips to the city.
Carly took to Instagram on Oct. 25 to share photos from the happy day with the caption, “Husband. That feels good to say. New York City ~Oct. 4th. Favourite day of my life.”
Carly and Cole’s wedding comes a year after she quietly went public with their engagement on Instagram in September 2024, posting a series of romantic photos, including a close-up of her dark gemstone ring on a gold band, captioned simply, “Very engaged over here.”
According to Vogue, Carly wore a custom strapless corset gown by Australian designer Toni Maticevski for the ceremony and later slipped into a soft, tiered Danielle Frankel dress for the reception, both styled with pearl earrings handcrafted by her mother, Alexandra Lanzarott.
Carly’s aunt and uncle officiated the ceremony, and her friend Rufus Wainwright surprised the guests by performing Leonard Cohen‘s song “Chelsea Hotel #2.” The first book Carly ever gave Cole was fellow Canadian Cohen’s The Book of Longing.
About 100 guests attended the private New York event, which Jepsen described as intentionally personal, joyful and rooted in shared creative history rather than spectacle.
