Say “hello” to your new “American Idol” judge….Katy Perry!

Katy says:
 
“I am honoured and thrilled to be the first judge bringing back the ‘American Idol’ tradition of making dreams come true for incredible talents with authentic personalities and real stories. I’m always listening to new music, and love discovering diamonds in the rough, from mentoring young artists on my label, or highlighting new artists on my tours, I want to bring it back to the music.”

Perry’s new album “Witness” drops June 9th and she was promoting it on Ellen Tuesday

Despite keeping relatively quiet in the music world, Taylor Swift has apparently returned to the dating scene. The Sun reports that the pop star is dating 26-year-old British film and theater actor Joe Alwyn, and that she’s been using wigs and disguises to go completely unnoticed while getting to know him in the U.K. “Taylor and Joe are the real deal, this is a very serious relationship,” a source confirms. “But after what happened with Tom Hiddleston, they were determined to keep it quiet.” The outlet goes on to explain that Taylor is currently renting a home in North London and has jet set across the pond thanks to private planes and “military-like” efforts taken by her security personnel.

Amy Schumer and Ben Hanisch have called it quits. “Amy and Ben have ended their relationship after thoughtful consideration and remain friends,” a rep for Schumer tells People. The 35-year-old comedian and 30-year-old furniture designer from Chicago dated for a year and a half. And as recently as May 3, Schumer confirmed that the two were still together. “We are talking about today,” she told Howard Stern when asked if the pair were discussing marriage. “I love the idea of committing to someone and making that choice and I want to have a family but right now, we are not in talks.” Schumer also shared that the two had sex “every day.”

The Los Angeles International Airport has opened a new terminal that’s exclusively for the rich and famous. The terminal features its own dedicated TSA security line and luxurious suites in which flyers can wait for their flights. Travelers also receive direct-to-tarmac transportation in a BMW 7-Series sedan, ensuring that they never have to take more than 70 steps between getting out of their vehicle and onto the airplane. On top of all that, they can enjoy complimentary pre-flight massages and hair/ makeup services in their suites. However, it all comes with a hefty price tag: Membership to the program costs $7,500 a year. Additional fees of $3,500 and $4,000 must be paid every time that the terminal is used for domestic and international flights, respectively.
