Katy Perry and John Mayer Split: Couple Break Up Again After 2-Month Reconciliation

After a two-month reconciliation, Katy Perry and John Mayer have apparently called it quits again.

Christian Post Report – Missy Elliott posted this picture of her with Katy Perry and John Mayer at Super Bowl on her Twitter account.

According to a source from Radar Online, it appears Mayer cannot handle the “lack of attention” when Perry gets busy with work, which is the same reason why they broke up the first time around. This marks the third time that the singers have split.

“Katy and John reconnected once she had a break in her Prismatic World Tour. So, for those few months they had a great time, pretending that it would last—and of course it didn’t,” said the source to Radar Online.

“The reason they have split in the past is because Katy gets busy. John can’t handle the lack of attention, and she can’t handle the trust issues she has when she’s so far away. So they’ve learned that it’s better to just take a break when they can’t be in the same place.”

The source also adds that Perry’s success is starting to affect her relationship with the 37-year-old singer.

“The fact that he doesn’t have anything major going on with his career is really starting to take a toll on their relationship,” the source added. “Katy is at an all-time high. She is starting to give in to what everyone around her is saying, that maybe she is too good for him.”

The pair last parted ways in February last year. Then, in January of this year, Perry and Mayer were spotted leaving a house in Los Angeles together before a dinner date. They were also seen at Super Bowl earlier this year.

Reps for Mayer and Perry have yet to comment on the breakup rumors.

Tech titans Sony and Samsung have recently revealed new phones in their respective lineups at this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona early this month. Among those that were launched are Samsung’s latest flagship, the Galaxy S6, and Sony’s waterproof new device, the M4 Xperia Aqua.

Christian Post Report – Sony Xperia M4 Aqua

The Galaxy S6 was one of the most anticipated phones of the event, and the device did not disappoint tech watchers due to its new and improved design and impressive specs. Meanwhile, though the M4 Aqua is not the follow up to Sony’s top seller, the Xperia Z3, the handset’s sleek design and waterproof construction was a hit, and its low price proved to be an attractive bonus as well.

Here, we compare the two phones.

Design:
The M4 Aqua has taken its design cues from the Xperia Z3, with its rounded edges and glass front and back. It measures 5.73 x 2.86 x 0.29 inches and weighs 4.94 ounces. The phone is IP 68 rated, so it can survive a spilled drink, a dip in the pool, or an accidental dunking in the bathroom. The phone is available in a range of colors which include pink, black, and white.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy S6 has rounded tops and bottoms and straight sides. The handset is made out of glass and metal and has a more premium feel than the Galaxy S5. The phone measures 5.6.x 2.8 x 0.27 inches and weighs 4.9 ounces. The metal body means that the phone is not waterproof. The phone is available in White Pearl, Black Sapphire, Gold Platinum, and Blue Topaz.

Features:
The M4 Aqua has a 5-inch display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels and pixel density of 294ppi. The results are clear images, but not as crisp or as vivid as those seen on the Galaxy S6’s 5.1-inch Super AMOLED screen which has a resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels and astounding pixel density of 577ppi.

The S6 is powered by an Exynos 7 octa-core chipset, while the Sony phone has the Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 octa-core processor. Both phones run on Android 5.0 Lollipop.

The M4 Aqua comes with 16GB internal memory which can be expanded up to 128GB with a microSD card. Samsung has done away with the microSD card slot for the S6, but the phone is available in different storage options—32GB, 64GB and 128GB.

Both phones have a 5MP front facing camera, but the S6 has a 16MP rear camera, while the M4 Aqua has a 13MP rear-facing camera.

Price:
The M4 Aqua is expected to cost $340 off contract. Meanwhile, The Samsung Galaxy S6 is expected to go on sale by April 2015 and cost $855 for the 32GB model, $970 for the 64GB variant, and $1,085 for the 128GB model.

Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx Dating? Spotted Together Holding Hands

Are Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx secretly dating?

Christian Post Report – For the past year and a half, persistent rumors of the two dating have been around, but a new report and photo from Us Weekly appears to confirm that the “Dawson’s Creek” alum and “Annie” actor are indeed romantically involved.

The picture, which was reportedly taken in February, shows Holmes and Foxx holding hands. As detailed in the latest issue of the magazine, the 36-year-old actress has been allegedly secretly spending time with Foxx since the summer before last, when he wooed her at a benefit in the Hamptons.

Holmes shares 8-year-old daughter Suri with her ex-husband Tom Cruise, to whom she was married from 2006 to 2012.

“Jamie is someone she can trust and have fun with,” said a source to the magazine. “She’s getting everything from Jamie that she didn’t get from Tom.”

Meanwhile, another source from Mirror says that the relationship is not “an intense romance.”

“Jamie and Katie are friends and have been for a long time. They are two adults who are attractive and single, and so apparently conclusions will be drawn. They’re not about to run off and make some serious commitment,” the insider said.

Sources close to Cruise told TMZ that the actor is still involved with Suri and that he will be returning to Los Angeles once filming for “Mission Impossible 5” is done.

Kate Middleton Due Date Revealed by Duchess

Prince George may have a new sibling in less than a month as Kate Middleton has recently revealed the due date of her second child, rumored to be a girl.

Christian Post Report – The Duchess shares a giggle with families supported by Home Start in Greenwich, an organisation which places volunteers with families to provide practical and emotional support.

The Duchess of Cambridge broke the good news to volunteers at Brookhill Children’s Centre in Woolwich, where she attended a coffee breakfast before watching a training session and visiting an on-site nursery.

“I told her she is beautiful and that she’s got a tiny little bump,” volunteer Christine Osborne, 49, said to reporters following the royal’s visit. “I asked when the baby is due and she said mid-to-end of April.”

“I couldn’t resist asking, it’s very exciting—and was wonderful to have her here,” Osborne added.

While the Duchess revealed the due date, she did not reveal the gender of her second child.

Wearing a polka dot ASOS maternity dress with black pumps, the 33-year old chatted with parents and children supported by Home Start. The charity recruits and trains volunteers to support parents with at least one child under the age of 5. The charity, which was founded in 1973, helps more than 29,000 families each year who are dealing with a variety of child-related issues.

 “The Duchess had a chat with my little one and she asked about the color of the flowers,” said Marvellous Nyahi, 35. “She asked me why I’m here and I told her I was a supported family at first because I was in a really bad place at the time, but now I have trained to be a Home Start volunteer.”

The Duchess was presented with a card made by the children and a bouquet of flowers. She also received a gift bag for her son, which was embroidered with his name. The bag included an Elmer the Elephant book, a potty-training book, and a color-sorting clock.

New NFL Stadium in Carson, California? AEG Raising Concerns Over Proposed NFL Stadium

AEG was the force behind one of the three plans to build a NFL stadium in Los Angeles. They even spent $50 million or so pursuing that dream, however it was announced early this year that they have given up that quest. After sighting potential Homeland Security issues with the San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders backed plans for a stadium in Carson, Calif. they are now raising more concerns.

NFL LA Stadium Manica Architecture

Christian Post Report – The Oakland Raiders and San Diego Chargers are teaming up on a proposed stadium

AEG owns and operates the Stub Hub Center, which is home to a Major League Soccer franchise and hosts other sporting events. AEG is concerned about the NFL and MLS seasons overlapping and their business interest there being disrupted by the new NFL stadium.

To be fair, AEG has operated sports teams in the LA area for years while the NFL virtually ignored the town and used it as leverage to get new stadiums built in other markets. However, it seems AEG is taking if we can’t have a stadium here no one can stance on the issue.

Beyond the overlap of the two professional sports leagues seasons AEG has raised other concerns in a six page letter to the Mayor of Carson.

Pro Football Talk has posted a excerpt of that letter that contained the following:

“With the proposed initiative, there is no review under [state environmental law], no public process and no public dialogue about the types of benefits provided by other large-scale projects such as the ones AEG has developed through a thorough and transparent public process involving extensive community input. We have a very substantial investment in Carson, which will be placed at risk if a loophole is exploited to avoid and evade the protections described above.”

Dallas Cowboys NFL 2015 Trade News, Rumors: Cowboys Sign Greg Hardy

Greg Hardy has signed a one year contract with the Dallas Cowboys. While his status for the 2015 is yet to be determined, the Cowboys were in a position to make a splash and they think Hardy is the kind of player that can come in and be very effective for them.

Greg Hardy reuters.com

Christian Post Report – The Dallas Cowboys have signed Greg Hardy despite his off the field issues, and the PR implications of such a move

However, it situation is so odd that they had to carefully word a contract to protect the team in the case that Hardy suffers a long suspensions under the NFL personal conduct policy. Hardy was found not guilty in a court of law for a domestic violence incident and the NFL is carefully reviewing his situation before acting. It seems highly likely that Hardy, even after being put on the Commissioners exempt list for most of 2014 will face some from of suspension by the league.

This is a one year deal, heavily laden with incentives that could be worth up to $13.1 million. In return for signing such a deal the Cowboys have agreed not to use the franchise or transition tag on Hardy in 2016 meaning he will hit the open market again next year. The deal is structured in such a way that nearly $11 million of its value are in workout bonuses and per game roster bonuses. That likely means the Cowboys will only owe hardy is base salary if he is suspended or if another incident lands back on the exempt list.

Given all the off the field problems, from a football stance this is a good move however the Cowboys are going to pay a high price for this signing in the public relations department. WFAA Broadcaster Dale Hansen has already taken the team to task for this move.

He started his verbal barrage with a simple question, “is there no crime you won’t accept?”

“Greg Hardy’s jersey is being sold at the Cowboys online pro shop now, You could get one for your sister or daughter and then explain to her that Hardy beats up women, but we’re cheering him now because he’s really good on game day, and game day is all that really matters to me. Your daughter will understand,” he continued.

‘Revenge’ Season 4 Spoilers, Cast News: Margaux is Hit by a Cab, Christa B. Allen Wants to Return

Suspense and intrigue keeps on building up as the fourth season of the hit TV drama series “Revenge” continues in this upcoming segment titled “Loss.”

Revenge ABC (Photo: ABC Network/File)

Christian Post Report – Revenge airs on the ABC network.

Karine Vanasse’s Margaux is certainly a force to reckon with within The Hamptons as we saw her in last week’s episode “Retaliation” successfully hurting Emily (Emily VanCamp) through Jack (Nick Wechsler) whom she had arrested under false pretences.

But despite all her efforts of destroying the Revenger, the scheming Margaux will still learn that chances won’t always be in her hands. A spoiler report from Melty cited the upcoming segment’s teaser video (provided below) showing Margaux getting hit by a speeding car while Emily looks on from a distance.

The promo also offer other explosive scenes like a mysterious figure – thought to be one of Margaux’s henchmen – aiming a gun at Emily’s head. But thankfully, the show’s protagonist was able to react in time and she was able to deter the hit man.

The video also featured Ben (Brian Hallisay) turning up at Nolan’s (Gabriel Mann) place and the latter was apparently disturbed with the visit. Madeleine Stowe’s Victoria Grayson is also seen crying over something.

On related news, avid followers of the show have long been wondering the status of another Grayson member who disappeared on one of the previous episodes.

Speaking with TV Line, cast member Christa B. Allen admits she wasn’t sure if her character would make a comeback to the Hamptons.

“I haven’t heard anything,” she told TV Line. “But I know that they’re still waiting to hear on their next season pickup, so I think it’ll depend largely on that. … They do try to keep their options open on that show.”

Allen’s character Charlotte was last seen in “Damage” where she was apprehended after a slew of murder and drug cases landed on her lap.

“Revenge” Season 4 returns this Sunday, March 22 at 10 p.m. with episode titled “Loss” on ABC.

‘Game of Thrones’ Season 5 Spoilers, Cast News: GoT Stars Dish About Upcoming Season

The cast members of the hit fantasy drama TV series “Game of Thrones” recently appeared in public to promote the launching of the show’s upcoming brand new fifth season at the Tower of London.

Christian Post Report – HBO’s “Game of Thrones”

Fans present during the gala were able to take a glimpse of GoT stars like Kit Harington (who plays Jon Snow), Gwendoline Christie (as Brienne of Tarth), Sophie Turner (as Sansa Stark) and Alfie Allen (as Theon Greyjoy) grazing the event.

The occasion also features a slew of interviews with the cast where they unload amounts of information about what followers of the TV series should expect when Season 5 kicks off this April.

The Greyjoy actor started off by saying that the forthcoming chapter will be filled with “shocking scenes without a doubt.”

“I’d like to see how much farther they can push the sort of dark side of it as a show as a whole,” the 28-year-old actor told The Daily Record.

Fans, meanwhile, should also never worry for his neutered and broken character when the show returns to the small screen as there will be a “little bit of light at the end of the tunnel” for him.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (as Jaime Lannister) also teased that this season will be the “most exciting” part of the show.

“This season we are getting into the end game of this story so some of the major storylines start to overlap,” he said.

Echoing what George RR Martin said about the HBO adaptation veering away from the book canon, Michael McElhatton (who plays Roose Bolton) reveals that there will be major twists that will surely shock the fans.

“There’s a lot of shocks particularly for the book readers. There are things that happen now that aren’t in the books,” McElhatton said. “The world has just got bigger and bigger and we are going to move into the world towards Dawn a lot more and introduce a lot of new characters there.”

“Game of Thrones” Season 5 is scheduled to premiere on April 12, 2015 on HBO.
