Christina Ricci leaves shady comment on Katy Perry Met Gala photo

Christina Ricci left a savage — but succinct — comment on an Instagram carousel of pics featuring Katy Perry and Connor Storrie at the Met Gala.
“Yikes,” the “Addams Family” actress wrote under the pics, which featured the “Roar” singer in a polarizing Stella McCartney dress and futuristic face mask, alongside Storrie in a black polka dot Saint Laurent blouse and suit jacket.
In one photo, the “Heated Rivalry” star, 26, covered his face with one hand to imitate Perry’s mirrored mask.
Two other snaps in the upload — which was shared by Variety on Monday — featured individual portraits of the stars in their Met Gala attire.
“#ConnorStorrie poses with #KatyPerry at the #MetGala, jokingly hiding his face to match her look,” the publication captured the pics.
Some fans in the comments thread of Ricci’s reaction agreed with her. “Came here just to like the comment,” one person wrote, while another added, “you said it, girl!”
Others were supportive of Perry’s eccentric fencing mask look, with one commenter remarking, “Okay Katy, i kinda like it 🤍” and another joking, “Connor and the astronaut.”
Yet another quipped, “Did he get to ask her if she’s ever felt like a plastic bag drifting through the wind do you think? 😉” referencing lyrics to Perry’s hit “Firework.”
Ricci’s one-word comment comes on the heels of Ruby Rose’s stunning allegation that Perry sexually assaulted her at a Melbourne nightclub back in 2010.
“Katy Perry sexual assaulted me at spice market nightclub in Melbourne. Who gives a s–t what she thinks,” the “Orange is the New Black” alum responded to a Complex Music social media post about Perry’s reaction to Justin Bieber’s recent Coachella performance last month.
In a subsequent Threads message, Rose wrote that it had taken her “almost two decades” to go public with her claims against the 41-year-old pop star — who is currently dating former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau.
She added, “Though I am so grateful to have made it long enough to find my voice, it just shows how much of an impact trauma and sexual assault takes. Thank you for seeing me.”
A rep for the “Teenage Dream” hitmaker denied the incident in a strongly worded statement to Page Six.
“The allegations being circulated on social media by Ruby Rose about Katy Perry are not only categorically false, they are dangerous reckless lies,” the rep stated last month.
“Ms. Rose has a well-documented history of making serious public allegations on social media against various individuals, claims that have repeatedly been denied by those named.”
Following the bombshell allegation, Page Six confirmed that an investigation into the matter is underway.
“Melbourne Sexual Offenses and Child Abuse Investigation Team detectives are investigating a historical sexual assault that occurred in Melbourne in 2010,” Acting Sergeant Paul Hogan of Victoria Police told Page Six in April.
“Police have been told the incident occurred at a licensed premises in Melbourne’s Central Business District.”
Earlier that day, Rose shared via Threads that she had “finalized all reports” about the matter and stated in part that she is “no longer able to comment, repost, or talk publicly about any of those cases, or the individuals involved.”
It’s worth noting that Rose, 40, and Ricci, 46, co-starred in the 2013 film “Around the Block,” which was filmed in Australia — though it’s unclear whether Ricci’s pointed social media remark was related to the allegations against Perry.
Ricci’s comment also seemingly underscored malcontent on the perimeter of the Met Gala, which saw a brawl break out among Anti-Bezos protesters as A-listers walked the famed staircase to the event — Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez reportedly paid millions to sponsor fashion’s biggest night.
Reps for Ricci and Perry did not immediately return Page Six’s requests for comment on Wednesday evening.

Kylie Jenner describes ‘crazy’ mushrooms trip that left her in tears

Kylie Jenner once had a “crazy” magic mushroom trip — in public — that left her in tears.
The “Kardashians” star described the experience on Friday’s episode of “Better Half” podcast, reminding co-hosts Victoria Villarroel and Anastasia “Stassie” Karanikolaou that she “took shrooms and went to” an event for the latter.
“Do you remember?” the makeup mogul, 28, asked. “It was, like, a party. I came and couldn’t stop crying. I was laughing-crying because someone came to ask me a question, and I thought it was really funny.”
The reality star, who did not specify when the trip took place, said she “couldn’t stop laughing and cried off all [her] makeup.”
The Kylie Cosmetics creator continued, “I went to the bathroom and I looked like the most craziest version of myself. I had to go home.”
With that in mind, Jenner turned down an offer to take ‘shrooms at Coachella last month.
“I’m like, I just don’t know if I want to be shrooming in public,” she explained while getting ready for the music festival. “Maybe I’ll get really emotional and start crying. Why do I want to cry tonight?”
Jenner, who has been open about her marijuana use in the past, clarified that she did not smoke weed before recording Kid Cudi’s “Big Bro” podcast in April.
“You heard it here first,” she said. “I was not high for that podcast.”
The businesswoman experimented with weed before her big sister Kendall Jenner, which the model confessed to being “jealous” of on an October 2025 episode of their family’s show.
“I was so mad at her. I was like, ‘You’re a degenerate!’” Kendall, 30, recalled, noting that she didn’t have “as much of a free spirit” as her sibling at the time.
“I eventually smoked with them and then had the best time ever,” the self-proclaimed “stoner” added. “Everything was great.”
In her own confessional at the time, Kylie playfully dubbed Kendall a “hater.”
She told viewers, “[Our mom], Kris Jenner, definitely got more relaxed the more children she had by the time I came around.”
Kylie believes Kendall was “very hard” on her because she “could get away with a lot” as the youngest in the Kardashian clan.

Blue Ivy ignores requests to remove sunglasses at Met Gala

Blue Ivy’s Met Gala debut didn’t go off quite as smoothly as it appeared, as dad Jay-Z seemingly pleaded with her to remove her sunglasses on the red carpet.
In a clip obtained by the Daily Mail, the 14-year-old daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z modeled her billowy cream Balenciaga dress and matching bomber jacket alongside her mother as they made their way up the famous Met Gala staircase.
Beyoncé’s publicist, Yvette Noel-Schure, was seen approaching Blue Ivy while repeatedly gesturing to remove the chic cat-eye accessory.
The publicist turned to ask Beyoncé to instruct the teen to remove the shades, and stylist Ty Hunter got involved as well before a tuxedo-clad Jay-Z made the same request.
At one point, the rapper appeared to step forward so his daughter could hear him above the noise.
Blue Ivy was seemingly unmoved, ignoring the instructions and leaving the sunglasses in place as cameras flashed around her.
Proud mom Beyoncé — who wore an eye-catching skeleton-inspired gown designed by Olivier Rousteing — was seemingly unaffected by the ongoing conflict, smiling adoringly at her eldest daughter.
Clips circulating via social media following the Met Gala appeared to confirm Blue Ivy’s reluctance to remove the sunglasses.
A rep for Beyoncé and Jay-Z did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment on Tuesday.
For her first trip to the Met Gala, the teen also defied a major rule — in recent years, rules state that all attendees must be at least 18 years old to be included in fashion’s biggest night.
Though event organizers told the Hollywood Reporter back in 2018 that the Met Gala is “not an appropriate event for people under 18,” the outlet also clarified that exceptions can apparently be made — when accompanied by parents.
Blue Ivy benefitted from an exception, likely due in part to the fact that Beyoncé was a co-chair for the event, alongside Oscar winner Nicole Kidman, former journalist Lauren Sánchez Bezos and Vogue icon Anna Wintour.
Kidman’s daughter Sunday Rose Urban, 17, also appeared alongside her mother at the event, modeling a pale purple look by Dior.
Despite the apparent row over the sunglasses, the “Lemonade” hitmaker didn’t seem to have any qualms about her daughter’s big moment.
“It feels surreal [to be back] because my daughter’s here,” Beyoncé told Vogue at the event, acknowledging her 10-year absence from the Met Gala.
“She looks so beautiful. It’s incredible to be able to share it with her, and I think she looks so incredible,” the proud mother noted of her daughter.
She added, “She was ready. She is ready.”

The real $60M winners from Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni’s career immolation — and whether either can ever come back

After 18 months of bare-knuckle brawling, Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s legal saga ended with a whimper. The two sides settled their claims on Monday afternoon, exactly two weeks before Lively’s $400 million lawsuit against Baldoni was poised to hit a New York courtroom.
To be clear, there were no winners at the end of this fight unless you count the four high-priced attorneys — Bryan Freedman, Ellyn Garofalo, Michael Gottlieb and Esra Hudson — who signed the joint statement released after the high-profile parties settled. And Lively and Baldoni certainly are leaving the fray with significantly lighter wallets. Sources tell Page Six Hollywood that the pair spent $60 million combined to sue and countersue one another. That’s a lot of money for what ended in a stalemate and potential career immolation. Reps for Lively and Baldoni did not respond to a request for comment.
Across the industry Monday, some top executives and producers with ties to the dispute were breathing a sigh of relief as they would no longer be required to testify in the case that was shaping up to be an even bigger media circus than the 2022 Johnny Depp v. Amber Heard defamation trial. “I was very scared of the backlash,” said one source who was scheduled to testify.
To put that $60 million figure into context, that could finance two additional sequels of the hit movie. In fact, “It Ends With Us” cost about $25 million and earned $351 million. Baldoni, who financed the domestic violence-themed film, held the rights to a prequel, also based on a best-selling novel by Colleen Hoover. But that film will likely never be made after the legal war between Baldoni and Lively.
Sources say neither side can discuss the terms of the settlement, but both are free to speak to the press about anything else involving the drama that tarnished the careers of both Lively and Baldoni.
The sheer volume of embarrassing exchanges and footage released since Lively filed the first complaint against Baldoni with the California Civil Rights Department — which alleged she was sexually harassed on set by her director/co-star, and was then the victim an alleged smear campaign — could fill a lower-rent Smithsonian. But that complaint, which morphed into a federal lawsuit against Baldoni, lost momentum over the ensuing 18 months, culminating with Judge Lewis Liman throwing out the sexual harassment claim in April.
Lively’s only path to victory in a courtroom rested on a smear campaign allegation that her side had dubbed “untraceable,” and Judge Liman was pressuring both sides to settle the matter and not waste the court’s time.
Now that the case is over, Lively and Baldoni will look to pick up the pieces of their respective careers. (Lively seemed unfazed as she posed for photos on the Met Gala red carpet hours after the settlement was announced). Folks across the industry, including top executives and agents, were weighing in with their opinions on who had done more damage to their career, and opinions were split this week.
“Justin doesn’t have enough value in the market to overcome the suspicion that he may have created an unsafe set. I’m not sure he could cast a movie right now,” one high-level female studio exec told us.
“Blake will have to take a break and take a cut on her first paycheck, but she’s still a movie star.”
Added another female executive: “They both did major damage, but because she’s so established I think she stands a chance of re-emerging better than he does. I would struggle to hire both of them, but I would gamble on her. There’s a pretty big downside for both of them, but the upside is bigger for her.”
Baldoni, who recently sold his house in Ojai and has since moved to Nashville with his family, has several advantages according to sources. He is now considered more of a director than an actor, and most people don’t pay attention or even care who’s the person behind the camera. His Wayfarer Studios can finance its own projects, and backed Scarlett Johansson’s directorial debut “Eleanor the Great,” which was released last year without any circus surrounding his involvement as an executive producer (Johansson was previously married to Lively’s husband Ryan Reynolds, who also got hit in the Baldoni legal crossfire. Hollywood reporters had a field day once they got their hands on text messages in discovery showing the A-lister allegedly putting pressure on execs at Sony, which released “It Ends With Us.”)
Lively faces some challenges moving ahead: As a leading actor who has proven that she can open a film, her return might be more fraught as she’ll need to win support of a director, studio or financier. “I think she can be in some TV show,” said a male executive. “But she’s hurt the worst since he can finance his own movies.”
Another male manager said, “Most of Hollywood knows what’s up. Yeah, maybe he’s a weirdo, but he didn’t commit any crime. Blake did this to herself whether they will admit it or not.”
Hoover, for one, emerges from the drama unscathed — and not having to testify. Amazon MGM has extremely high hopes for the psychological thriller “Verity,” which opens on Oct. 2. That film, top-lined by Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson, is based on another Hoover best seller.
Lively and Baldoni’s joint statement that ended the case read: “The end product — the movie ‘It Ends With Us’ — is a source of pride to all of us who worked to bring it to life. Raising awareness, and making a meaningful impact in the lives of domestic violence survivors — and all survivors — is a goal that we stand behind. We acknowledge the process presented challenges and recognize concerns raised by Ms. Lively deserved to be heard. We remain firmly committed to workplaces free of improprieties and unproductive environments. It is our sincere hope that this brings closure and allows all involved to move forward constructively and in peace, including a respectful environment online.”
