“My deepest sympathies and prayers to anyone has been affected by the Vegas shooting last night,” The Voice coach said. “I don’t even know anymore… Why?”

During a meeting with Siri Sat Nam Singh, a licensed therapist who appears on Viceland's The Therapist, Perry revealed that her 2013 song, "By the Grace of God," was inspired by her former thoughts of suicide.

"I feel ashamed that I would have those thoughts, feel that low and that depressed," she said, adding that the song was written "because I do believe in something much bigger than me and I call that god for me."

"You can be right or you can be loved," she added. "I just want to be loved."

About 45 Texas parishioners are grateful to be alive after a deadly tornado touched down on Saturday night, crushing most of the St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church as they gathered to honor high school graduates, CNN reports.

“The tornado was a direct hit,” Peyton Low, a director of public affairs for the Diocese of Tyler, told the station. “Both ends of the building were blown out.”

Low said the worshippers received a warning to take cover as the storm approached in Emory, according to CNN. So, they decided to gather in a hallway between the parish hall and the church’s main area.

John Mayer has a new song, “Still Feel Like Your Man,” which he’s described as being explicitly about Katy Perry. Not only does it add to Mayer’s back catalog of breakup songs — see below — but it also adds to the modern canon of pop breakup songs we know are about certain people. Carly Simon’s decades-long tease about who’s at the center of “You’re So Vain” (or, well, the second verse, anyway) — maybe the most famous of that genre — ended in 2015. But since then, there have been any number of songs by pop stars that throw a little shade at exes,...

Katy Perry took over the Grammys stage for the fifth time Sunday night, when she gave her new song “Chained to the Rhythm” its live debut.

The track officially debuted Friday, but Perry gave fans a chance to hear it early via music-playing disco balls she planted around the world.

The high-energy performance featured a house and fence with a series of dancers moving the set pieces across the stage. Perry, 32, wore a black and white pantsuit with white tennis shoes for the performance.

Although Perry wasn’t up for any awards this year — her last studio album, Prism, came...

Black Eyed Peas member Taboo is a proud cancer survivor.

The 41-year-old rapper, whose real name is Jaime Luis Gomez, reveals he was diagnosed with stage 2 testicular cancer in June 2014 in a new interview, and that he went through 12 weeks of intense, aggressive chemotherapy out of the public eye. Taboo says he was diagnosed after going to the emergency room for what he thought was the flu.

"It all started with a pain in my back and abdomen," he tells People. "The very next day I went into surgery to have the 'mother ship' removed. But my fight had just begun."

There was a lot of talk about the supremely serene Susanne Khan attending her ex-husband superstar Hrithik Roshan's 42nd birthday bash on Saturday night.

All hogwash, apparently planted by over-zealous supporters of the star.

In an exclusive clarification, Susanne broke her habitual silence to say she had no intention of attending her former husband's party, and that she wasn't even invited.

Explains Susanne, "My relationship with Hrithik is wonderful in regard to our kids. We are good parents and that is our priority regarding each other. But we don't socialize or hang out together as friends."

The soft-spoken former Mrs. Roshan, who officially separated from her husband in December 2013 after a 14-year marriage, had faced similar speculation in October 2014 when she celebrated her birthday. It was being said that Hrithik would attend his former wife's birthday.

Says Susanne, "I understand him not inviting me. We don't invite each other to our birthdays.

On Thursday Hema Malini and Dharmendra's younger daughter Ahana gave birth to a baby boy. Hema could barely contain her excitement when she spoke. "By the grace of God I am a grandmother now. It is a natural process of life. And I'm very proud to be a Naani. " Ahana's father Dharmendra too is "thrilled to bits" to see his youngest-born being blessed with a boy. Says Hema happily, "It all happened very smoothly and Ahana and the baby are doing very well. Ahana has already thought of a list of possible names for the baby. We'll be choosing one from them."

The GRAMMYs are all about two things: Celebrating musical accomplishments and solving all of the country's problems?

At this year's Grammy Awards, the stars, celebs and special guests got socially conscious, and in more ways than just the somber tone of almost every performance.

Photos: See the 2015 Grammy Award Winners!

From police brutality to domestic violence, a number of important social issues were thrust into the spotlight. Here's a look at the seven Grammy presenters who tried to raise awareness of the issues closest to their hearts.

1. Pharrell Williams: R&B singer/producer Pharrell Williams traded in his cadre of excitable dancing children for a group to adults wearing black hoodies and raising their hands in the air for his strikingly different performance of "Happy." It was a reference to the "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" protest gesture, originating in the wake of Michael Brown's fatal shooting in Ferguson, Mo. last year.

2. Beyonce:...

Holy crap, the GRAMMYs were long. And not because the acceptance speeches were long -- each winner was given approximately five seconds to thank everyone. So in case you don’t have three and a half hours to marathon 22 performances (23, if you count LL Cool J’s weird performance of “Going Back to Cali” at the top of the show) we ranked them for you.

From best to worst:

Fresh off her high-energy Super Bowl performance, Katy Perry gave the audience a taste of her softer side at the 2015 Grammy Awards.  The 30-year-old pop star performed her hit "By the Grace of God" at the 57th Annual ceremony, where she used her public platform to shed a light on an important issue: domestic violence.  Domestic abuse survivor Brooke Axtell opened Perry's performance by sharing her story with the crowd. "If you are in a relationship with someone that does not honor or respect you, I want you to know that you are worthy of love," she said.  Perry then took to the stage in a white cape gown reminiscent of Gwyneth Paltrow's 2012 Oscar...

One week after her eye-catching Super Bowl halftime show, Katy Perry made a big statement with her Grammys performance. The pop star turned her Prism ballad "By the Grace of God" into an anthem for overcoming domestic abuse. The segment began with a taped video from President Obama urging the end of "violence against women and girls" as a way to "change our culture for the better." "It's not Ok and it has to stop," Obama added, citing statistics of women who were the victims of attempted rape or domestic violence. He then alluded to the influence

Famous for her rainbow-bright energy and delightfully cartoonish stage antics (we see you, Left Shark!), Katy Perry on Sunday opted for a more serious, emotional vibe at the 57th annual Grammy Awards.

PhotosGrammy Awards Red Carpet

Following a powerful video message from President Barack Obama about domestic abuse, Perry — draped in a long white gown — took to the stage to sing “By the Grace of God,” a ballad about an unhealthy relationship off her 2013 album Prism.

Additionally, Perry was joined on stage by Texas-based domestic abuse survivor Brooke Axtell, who performed a written-word piece about her personal experience in a violent relationship.

She just wrapped up a critically-acclaimed showing at the Super Bowl Xlix Halftime Show, and now Katy Perry is taking her act to the Grammy Awardsstage.

The “Hot N Cold” songstress will sing “By the Grace of God” on Sunday night (February 8), and hopefully she’ll pick up trophies in the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance and Best Pop Vocal Album categories.

Also on the extensive and varied docket are superstars like AC/DC, Beck, Mary J Blige, Eric Church, John Mayer, Lady Gaga, Madonna, Paul McCartney, Rihanna, John Legend, Common and Beyonce Knowles!

Katy Perry is the latest — and the last — performer who will be added to Sunday’s Grammy Awards lineup. Fresh off her Super Bowl Xlix halftime show, Perry plans to slow it down and deliver an “intimate” performance of song “By the Grace of God,” the Recording Academy said on Thursday.

Katy Perry most recently teamed up with Lenny Kravitz and Missy Elliott for an epic Super Bowl halftime show, but nothing can compare with her upcoming collaboration at the Grammy Awards on Sunday. Perry is scheduled to take the stage with domestic violence survivor Brooke Axtell, who will perform a written-word piece while the "Roar" singer performs her touching ballad "By the Grace of God". "It's an honor to collaborate with Katy in this way. She has been very devoted to various aspects of female empowerment," Axtell, 34, tells People. "It's going to bring a lot of encouragement and freedom to...

Well, the 57th Annual Grammy Awards just got that much more fierce. Katy Perry and Beyoncé have been added to the show's already jam-packed performance lineup at what is almost the 11th hour—considering the 2015 Grammys is Sunday! Billboard was first to report the addition of Perry, who can rest easy on her high tiger after presiding over the most-watched Super Bowl halftime show in history. (So of course the Recording Academy wanted in on that...) Per the music mag, the Prism artist, who's nominated for two Grammys this year, will be singing her ballad "By the Grace of God" and, of course, could have more tricks up her sleeve.

Well, it looks like the still-untitled Bond 24 has found its villain. According to Daily Mail columnist (and caps lock enthusiast) Baz Bamigboye, the two-time Academy Award-winning actor has signed on for the new James Bond adventure, to once again star Daniel Craig (working for his "Skyfall" director Sam Mendes). According to Bamigboye, the shoot starts in early December and shooting locations include Morocco, Austria, Italy, London and Mexico.

She’s happily in love with producer/deejay Diplo these days, but there was a time when Katy Perry wasn’t sure how to get out of bed in the morning.

In her new interview with Australia’s The Project, the “Hot N Cold” songstress talked about the difficulty in recovering from her divorce from Russell Brand.

Katy explained, "It was sad and there were [suicidal] thoughts, but there were never actions, thankfully. Then there's 'By the Grace of God,' which is the first song that I wrote coming to make this record, when I was in a different place, I was in a darker place.”

"You always feel like you're the only one going through that. Well then comes along a song that speaks to you, that makes you feel like, ‘Gosh, I can get through this. If she can get through this, I can get through this.

Katy Perry is once again opening up about the dark days she went through following her divorce from ex-hubby Russell Brand. In a new interview with Australia's The Project on Monday, the 30-year-old "This Is How We Do" singer revealed just how serious her depression got after her split back in 2011. "It was sad and there were thoughts, but there were never actions, thankfully," Perry said, referencing her previous admission that she contemplated suicide. Perry has also publically confessed that her emotional ballad "By the Grace of God" is about her breakup with Brand. "Then there's 'By the Grace of God,' which is the first song that I wrote coming to make this...

Producer Sajid Nadiadwala who is in Warsaw shooting with Salman Khan for his directorial debut Kick is maha-kicked by the opening reports of his new production 2 States. He now plans a very big celebration bash for the twin success this year of his Highway and now 2 States. Speaking from Warsaw Sajid said, "By the grace of God this has so far been a fantastic year for my production house. When we produced Highway, Imtiaz Ali and I planned it as a small experimental quickie while we waited for Ranbir Kapoor's dates later during this year. How were we to know Highway would be such a success?! It is one of my proudest achievements. And now I hear roaring reports of 2 States! So it's a double triumph for Alia Bhatt from our production house." Sajid hopes the streak of luck continues this year for his production house. "We've Tiger Shroff's launch film coming up next.

Kaley Cuoco Sweeting has a love-hate relationship with what her fans think of her. And while she knows she can't please her detractors, she's hooked on reading their comments on social media. "I started reading [the comments] and thought, maybe I need to make more of an effort and not go out in my UGGs and be disgusting," the Big Bang Theory star, 28, tells Cosmopolitan for its May cover story. "So I started putting on makeup. And they started writing 'Wow, someone really likes being in front of the camera,' and 'Her hair's done now for coffee.' I couldn't do anything right.

I find it rather amazing how stars of long-running series jump in and out of the main focus of public attention, and The Big Bang Theory itself, and all of its stars are prime examples. Though continuously popular, the show has wandered through its share of moments when it seemed a mighty backlash was hanging around just outside the door, and the stars have gone through highs and lows of general interest as well.

Of course, real world events can shift the focus as much as anything that happens on a show, especially when the show itself, wonderful as it may be, is rather old news.

Thus, Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting graces the cover of Cosmo this month, on newsstands April 8th, and talks about dating, getting married rather suddenly, and breast implants.

Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting, star of TV’s number one comedy The Big Bang Theory, is our May cover girl, on stands April 8th!

In her first magazine interview since tying the knot, the new bride dishes on her speedy engagement and over-the-top wedding."I admit it happened fast, but that’s who I am. When we met, I knew he was the one," she says of her new hubby. "[At my wedding], I felt like a rock star and a badass. What was amazing in that room, it was so full of love. It was like nothing I’d ever been to before, and it was exactly what we wanted it to be. It was the eighth wonder of the world, the greatest wedding of all time.” While...

She said "I do" to her husband Ryan Sweeney after a six month courtship, and now Kaley Cuoco shares details about her exciting new marriage in the May 2014 issue of Cosmopolitan magazine.

While rocking a few poses for the Eric Ray Davidson photo shoot, the "Big Bang Theory" cutie chatted about her relationship with the tennis player and even discussed her 10-day fling with "Man of Steel" star Henry Cavill.

On Ryan:

Preity Zinta doesn't know whether to be amused or annoyed by recent reports suggesting that she is moving out of her apartment in Khar (Mumbai) and renting it out to be able to pay off her debts.

Laughing heartily the entrepreneur-actress laughs, "There is so much drama in that story. Bechari Preity. She has to vacate her mahal and live in a jhopdi because the cruel creditors are breaking down her door. I wish people would look for their afternoon soap opera scripts somewhere else. There is no such drama happening in my life."

Completely rubbishing the reports suggesting she is to "lease out" her flat to pay her debts, Preity says, "Where did this come from? I am amazed at how off the mark this report is. It is a thousand percent untrue. By the grace of God, I'm most comfortably able to look after myself financially. It is not only untrue,...

Pushing worldwide success for her new music, Katy Perry promoted Prism at German radio 1Live in Cologne, Germany on Friday (November 15).

Appropriately, the "Roar" singer wore an iridescent jacket and matching short skirt as she smiled brightly for photos.

In the December issue of Marie Claire Australia, the 29-year-old pop star talks about the inspiration for her latest record.

Begun around the time of her divorce from Russell Brand, Katy shares, "I started Prism in November 2012 and I was in a darker place in my life. There was a song called 'By the Grace of God' which paints a picture about how low I was… feeling like I wasn’t enough, it wasn’t possible for me to be loved."

As for how she recovered, Ms. Perry says, "From a lot of searching for help… through a lot of changing how I think about myself. On this record,...

Continuing to enjoy the success of her album Prism, Katy Perry soaks up the spotlight by covering the December 2013 issue of Marie Claire Australia.

During her interview with the publication, the 29-year-old singer opened up about the meaning behind her single "Roar" and also revealed how she really feels about "We Can't Stop" hitmaker Miley Cyrus.

Check out a few highlights from Miss Perry's Q&A session below. For more, be sure to visit Marie Claire Australia!

On "Roar":

"I think it's just for anyone who feels a little bit down in the dumps, like they don't have any strength. Sometimes I write these anthems because I need that boost too. I wrote [it] when I felt like I was going inward with my problems. Sometimes your biggest bully in life can be yourself - can be the person standing in the way of your success, and sometimes you have to give yourself a boost.

Los Angeles, Oct 27: Singer Katy Perry says she got into a catfight only once and pulled out a girl's hair.

The 28-year-old says she is generally a peace lover, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"Oh no, I'm a lover not a fighter. You know, there's only been one fight a long time ago. It was a girl fight and I was caught between a bunch of girls and I just stuck my hand in and grabbed some hair. I pulled a weave off," Perry said on a chat show.

The singer recently released her new track "By the grace of god" from her album "Prism", which she says is autobiographical.

Ians...

Perry, who was married to British comedian Russell Brand for 14 months before they parted ways in 2011, says she found her strength in the track, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"Imagine what happens when you go through a break-up. We all go through break-ups and we all get very depressed and desperate. The lyrics are very exact and autobiographical," Entertainment Weekly magazine quoted Perry as saying.

"That's how I write. But the one thing about those lyrics is you can hear me finding my strength throughout the song. It starts off really low and then I kind of stand up for myself and say, 'No!'," she added.

"By the grace of god" is from Perry's album Prism. She is currently dating singer John Mayer.

Since her 2001 release of Christian rock music under her real name Katy Hudson, Superstar Katy Perry now has 4 studio albums, 1 live album and 2 world tours under her belt. Born in 1984 to pastors Keith Hudson and Mary Perry, Katy grew up listening to a lot of Gospel music and access to chart music was fairly limited for a long time.

Now at the age of 28 Katy has hit international stardom and her name is known everywhere.

Here are her four studio albums, including the newly released Prism ranked from best to worst.

Katy Perry’s fourth studio album, “Prism,” finds her recovering from her divorce from Russell Brand and headed straight into love again... this time with John Mayer and, hopefully, with better results. “Prism,” out Tuesday (22), is filled with lessons learned and self affirmations, and part of the fun is voyeuristically listening to tracks and knowing they’re about Brand or Mayer. The pop priestess lays herself bare on a number of these tunes including the confessional “By the Grace of God” and jubilantly romantic “Double Rainbow.” Working with a range of producers from Dr. Luke to Stargate, Cirkut, Benny Blanco and Klas...

Katy Perry's latest song "By the Grace of God" is here. The 27-year-old singer debuted the ballad, the newest track off her upcoming album Prism, while performing at the iTunes Festival in London this week. The emotional song recalls Perry's sad divorce from ex Russell Brand, which left her in a terribly dark place in her life. "Thought I wasn't enough, found out I wasn't so tough laying on the bathroom floor," Perry sings in the song.
