Katy Perry nearly falls on SF crowd during midair prop malfunction

Katy Perry very nearly fell atop a crowd in San Francisco Friday night during a midair stunt as part of her Lifetimes Tour.

The malfunction occurred during the pop star’s performance of “Roar,” as she sat atop a mechanical butterfly that soared over the audience and abruptly began to drop, according to fan footage shared online. The crowd then applauded when Perry braced herself as the prop slowly but surely steadied.

“Goodnight San Fran,” the Grammy nominee wrote on her Instagram Story, captioning a blurred photo of herself looking horrified during the incident.

The mishap occurred weeks after a similar one involving a flying sphere that Perry rode during one of her recent shows in Australia, reported NBC News.

It’s been a rough year thus far for Perry, whose all-female Blue Origin space flight in April — alongside Gayle King and Lauren Sánchez — has been widely mocked and criticized.

In June, following speculation that she and Orlando Bloom had split for good after nine years on and off, sources confirmed they’d indeed called off their engagement.

Their respective reps released a joint statement earlier this month, saying the stars had been “shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting” their 4-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove.

Perry’s reps did not immediately respond to the Daily News’ request for comment about the malfunction and whether she intends to continue using that prop in future shows.

Marathon hearings conclude in state case against Luigi Mangione for UnitedHealthcare CEO killing

Marathon proceedings in Luigi Mangione’s state homicide case came to a close Thursday, as Manhattan prosecutors and lawyers for the suspected killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson rested without calling any more witnesses. The parties won’t learn for some time which positions prevailed, with state Supreme Court Justice Gregory Carro asking each side to submit final written arguments and indicating he would rule on Mangione’s motions to suppress evidence central to the prosecution’s case by May 18. The hearings included 17 witnesses and centered on evidence recovered and statements Mangione made to Pennsylvania law enforcement surrounding his arrest five days after Thompson’s killing. Mangione was nabbed at a McDonald’s in the city of Altoona, more than 200 miles from the Hilton hotel in Midtown, outside which the CEO was shot dead Dec. 4, 2024. Notes allegedly found by police in Luigi Mangione's backpack after he was detained at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvani...

Freezing rain, ice threaten North Jersey and Hudson Valley, NYC to get mostly rain

Freezing rain and small accumulations of ice could hit northern parts of New Jersey and the southern Hudson Valley on Sunday night, meteorologists said. The new winter weather threat followed several inches of snow that fell from Friday night into Saturday morning. Though the snowstorm blanketed the five boroughs , temperatures in New York City are expected to remain high enough Sunday to avoid wintery conditions. “Temperatures along the immediate coast, including the NYC metro, are expected to inch just above freezing,” National Weather Service forecasters wrote Sunday. “When rain develops just after dark, [precipitation] here is expected to be mainly rain at onset.” But north and northwest of the city, temperatures will be cold enough to create freezing rain and small amounts of ice, according to the National Weather Service. The highest chance of ice was in Orange and Putnam counties in New York, Warren and Morris counties in New Jersey and Fairfield and New Haven counties in ...
