American Idol Contestant Reflects on Katy Perry Kiss

By Leave a Comment

An American Idol contestant received an unexpected kiss from Katy Perry, who is one of the judges.

On Sunday night, ABC’s reboot of the once-famous singing contest American Idol premiered. One of the contestants, 20-year old Ben Isaac Glaze, who admitted that he had never been kissed, received a surprise one from judge Katy Perry.

The gesture immediately sparked a lot of controversy online, especially in the light of recent movements like #MeToo or Time’s Up. Also, it seems that the contestant himself wasn’t too comfortable with what Perry did. Or at least this is what he declared in a Wednesday interview with the New York Times.

However, a few hours after the article became public, the 20-year old Oklahoma native clarified his opinion and said that he didn’t feel like he was sexually harassed or anything similar.

In the article, he admitted that he was a bit uncomfortable with the entire situation. Glaze also said that he was keeping that kiss for his first ever relationship and that if Perry had asked him first, he would have said “no.”

Soon after many people online criticized not only Katy Perry but the entire competition, the aspiring musician took to Instagram to make a few clarifications.

Ben is a conservative cashier who wanted to have his first kiss while in a serious relationship. However, he admitted that he was not complaining about Katy Perry being his first kiss.

Ben claims that he felt uncomfortable because it was his first and it took him by surprise. He went on to say that some articles did not convey his exact words and opinion about the situation and that this was the reason why he wanted to make everything clear.

Unfortunately, Ben did not move forward after his audition and admitted that he wished to have performed better in front of the judges. He also posted a lengthy thank you message for everyone supporting him during his experience.

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez Have Taken a Break

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are reportedly once again on a break.

Since Selena Gomez reunited with her old flame, Canadian singer Justin Bieber, her mother, Mandy Teefey, has made it clear that she doesn’t like this reunion at all.

However, surprisingly, this is not the reason why the celebrity couple has decided to take a break. According to a source that is close to them, it’s because of their own issues. Also, they seem actually to be almost always on and off again.

It seems that Selena is not the type of person to base her relationships on what her mother thinks. The former Disney star and Bieber first began dating back in 2010.  

Earlier this year, Teefey admitted in an interview that this rekindled romance does not make her happy, but if her daughter is, then nothing else should matter. On March 1st, the Sorry singer didn’t spend his 24th birthday with his girlfriend, according to paparazzi photos.

However, a source confirms that the two actually celebrated his birthday earlier that day. It seems that recently, they have been struggling with their relationship. However, it wouldn’t come as a surprise if next week they will be back together, consider many.

It’s interesting that back in December, it was reported that the Wolves singer and her mother were not talking at all. It wasn’t because of Bieber, but because of the many problems that they have tried to solve before.

On Wednesday, paparazzi spotted Gomez and Bieber attending the same church service, but separately. Selena seemed fine and was smiling while hugging a friend.

A friend of Justin’s also confirmed that the two are currently on a break from their relationship. They now want to solve their problems alone. However, nobody expects it to be final and most probably they will be soon back together and happy.

Beyonce and Jay-Z recently announced that they will once again be touring together.

 

It seems that apart from running the world, Beyonce and Jay-Z are going “On the Run” once again. The power couple recently announced their upcoming joint tour. The so-called “royal couple” of hip-hop stated on Monday that they will be going on their second massive joint tour called “On the Run II”.

This will make stops in 15 big cities in Europe and 21 others in North America. It seems that the tour is set to kick off on June 6, in Cardiff, the United Kingdom.  

The last time Bey and Jay-Z went on tour together, they made around $109 million. Also, their first “On the Run’ tour became the subject of an HBO concert special.

Since the 2014 tour, they both made some more money, but separately. Beyonce released her solo album Lemonade and her rapper husband released his album called 4:44. Both albums spoke a lot about their long-time relationship and the ups and downs they had to face, complete with betrayals and disappointments.
