A month ago, Justin Trudeau traveled to Paris to take Katy Perry out for her 41st birthday. They went to the Crazy Horse and they were photographed arriving and leaving. The whole thing felt weird, but this entire coupling and courtship has felt completely bizarre and performative. What?s even funnier is that Team Katy and Team Justin are narrating this courtship in the gossip media. We?ve been told that Justin really likes Katy and that he?s pursuing her, even traveling to multiple countries to get to her. We?re told that Katy appreciates his effort and she?s flattered by his pursuit. We?re told that Justin likes Katy for her mind, which is the biggest joke of all. Well, they?re still doing this. They?re making plans together for the holidays.
Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau are preparing to spend some downtime together. After the pop star, 41, and the former prime minister, 53, were initially spotted spending time together in July, the pair have grown closer and are planning for the upcoming festive season.
Now, a source close to Perry tells PEOPLE, on Thursday, Nov. 20, that the pair are making plans for the holidays.
However, the source notes, that Perry is really looking forward to wrapping her tour.
Without exaggeration, this year has been a whirlwind for her, the source adds. She hasnt even had time to really think about her life after the tour.
According to the source, Perry ? who split from ex-fianc, Orlando Bloom earlier this year ? will be focusing on her 5-year-old daughter Daisy Dove, whom she shares with The Lord of the Rings actor, 48.
Shes a single mom now and a lot of that is going to come into focus next year, says the source.
The same source told PEOPLE on Wednesday, Nov. 19 that the couple are spending time together when they can.
Justin keeps making a big effort to see her and shes excited about it, the source told PEOPLE, noting that Perry has a lot of fun with him. The source added that their romance is exactly what she needs right now.

This is all coming from Katy?s side, and please acknowledge that Katy doesn?t even seem to understand or know that Justin has three children from his first marriage? I?m sure his holiday plans are based more on his kids rather than Katy!! At least I hope that?s the case. But sure, Katy is a single mother now and she?s probably looking forward to wrapping her tour in a few weeks. I looked it up she plans to go back on tour next June, so she?ll have a solid six months off. Will she use that time to figure out if she wants to be with a former Canadian prime minister?

For the Royal Variety performance on Wednesday, the Princess of Wales wore a new-to-us Talbot Runhof dress. Talbot Runhof is the design collaboration between Adrian Runhof (a German) and Johnny Talbot (an American). It was interesting that Kate didn?t go with a repeat, and it looks like this gown has been in her closet for years, because the designers confirmed that they had no idea she owned this and it?s a few years old. The designers sounded happy about it, even though ?the Kate Effect? is struggling pretty hard these days, with so many of Kate?s favorite labels going out of business or dramatically downsizing.
Kate Middletons latest red carpet moment was two years in the making, but the designers behind her velvet green dress only got a quick heads-up! Adrian Runhof ? co-founder and designer at Talbot Runhof, the brand behind the Princess of Wales outfit choice for the Royal Variety Performance on Nov. 19 ? tells PEOPLE exclusively that the palace notified them that shed be wearing their dress about 30 minutes before the royals appearance.
Two hours later, our name and our dress have been posted worldwide, so we are very thankful to her, he says. We think she is great, we respect her and it?s a great honor for us that she picked this dress, that she obviously liked it enough to buy it and select it for the event last night.
Runhof ? whose celebrity fans include Selena Gomez, Helen Mirren and Oprah Winfrey ? explains that the classic dress has been in their collection for many seasons, and he believes that Princess Kate, 43, purchased it through a department store.
I think she bought it a few seasons ago and found it in her wardrobe and thought, Why don?t I wear this? Its so beautiful, he tells PEOPLE, adding that Kate looked impeccable.
The designer adds, We focus on making beautiful dresses, that?s what we do. I think the dress spoke to her. I doubt she knows who we even are, but she fell in love with it, and maybe that?s how it should be.
Runhof says the secret to their dresses is their feminine and flattering fit, adding that there was an extra bonus to Princess Kates choice. The best thing is that it?s a wonderful stretch velvet, so it feels as comfortable as a pair of pajamas! he explains.
Twenty-five years ago, American Johnny Talbot and German Runhof started the brand, quickly discovered by Georgio Beverly Hills, a store that used to exist in Los Angeles that was a popular spot for celebrities hitting the red carpet.
The Princess of Wales dress choice may hint that shes considering the brand for the upcoming state visit to the U.K. by German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and first lady Frau Elke Bdenbender. We are very excited to hear about it when it happens, Runhof tells PEOPLE, adding that the German first lady owns many of their dresses. She might be wearing one when she comes to the U.K. in December, too!

The Telegraph also devoted an article to glazing Kate for her ?pre-diplomatic dressing? by choosing a German designer, all because of the upcoming state visit by Chancellor Steinmeier. The Telegraph also bizarrely claims that this dress is ?no longer available to buy, indicating just how far in advance the Princess and her team plans for these engagements.? Does anyone actually think that Kate purchased this dress two years ago and thought ?this will be good for the 2025 Royal Variety show?? No. Kate used to shop and shop and shop and she has a closet full of clothes she?s never worn. And that?s probably why it feels like her clothing allowance has been cut so dramatically in the past two years as well, and why she tried to make a big deal about how her office would no longer talk about her fashion.

I have a theory about the timing of the Duchess of Sussex?s moves this week. Personally, I found it hilarious that Netflix released the trailer for With Love, Meghan?s holiday celebration within the same hour (or so) as the Prince and Princess of Wales?s arrival at the Royal Variety show. I think Netflix always intended to drop the trailer two weeks before the premiere, so it was more like a happy accident for Meghan, that she upstaged the left-behinds. My theory is that Harper?s Bazaar held their cover to drop on the same day as the trailer (as in, it was all coordinated by Meghan?s team), and it was timed a certain way so that the haters would be furious and blow their stacks about the trailer, and then the Bazaar cover would slap them right as they were punching themselves out. It worked there are multiple rants about the trailer in the British press, but they wrote so fast, they didn?t have time to mention Bazaar. Speaking of, the Telegraph published what can only be described as a stream-of-consciousness hissy fit about the WLM trailer, British nationalism in association with Christmas, and as always, jam.
Uh-oh she?s at it again. Coo-ee! Over here! Wanna buy some overpriced jam? Right on cue, as the Prince and Princess of Wales made their glittering entrance at the Royal Variety Show this week, Meghan, Duchess of Montecito, frantically attempted to upstage them with a bizarre trad-wife routine worthy of Stepford.
On this side of the pond, a glorious, glamorous occasion as leading artists including Katherine Jenkins, Sir Stephen Fry, Jessie J and Madness performed for free to support their less fortunate peers who have fallen on hard times. It?s a big deal, a bona fide highlight of the charity calendar ? in the diary for months. And yet, that was the moment when the new trailer for Meghan?s (drum roll, puhlease) Netflix festive special dropped. Clear the schedules, people. With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration is hurtling towards us like an icing-sugared Exocet missile. Brace yourselves. Next month, she will be flogging us mulled wine spices, own label fizz and, above all, herself. ?As Ever, Meghan,? you might say.
But what a coincidence! Again! It?s extraordinary just how frequently Team Sussex events seem to ?clash? with Team Wales appearances. Indeed, Meghan?s launch of her short-lived ?America Riviera Orchard Uncle Tom Cobley And All? brand took place on the same day William was due to speak at his late mother?s Legacy Award event. Talk about synchronicity. Or maybe, on reflection, there?s another, less neutral word to describe it. But timing aside, Meghan?s tone-deaf audacity has reached new heights. In fact, there was something freshly, brazenly breathtaking about the trailer pedalling her wearisomely woke Happy Holidays schtick.
At no point did the C-word cross her lips. Not when she was larking about in the Christmas tree lot. Not when she was cobbling together a Christmas wreath from hedge clippings and desperation. Not even when she was laying out elaborate cookies for Father Christmas. It didn?t work for Tesco with its stupid ?evergreen? branding. And it sure as Ho Ho Ho doesn?t work for Meghan. Instead of genuine good cheer, the Suits actress served up a sterile simulacrum of suspiciously flawless baked goods, fake laughter and manufactured emotion. It was Christmas but with all the heart ? all the soul ? sucked out. It?s all about as joyless as coal in your stocking.
Creepily, when it came to the very activities that children love best ? decorating biscuits, getting stuck into crafts, even writing notes to Santa, dammit ? there was no sign of Archie, Lilibet or even a couple of straight-from-central-casting stand-ins.
[From The Telegraph]
She kept going and going, and she tacked on something about Harper?s Bazaar at the end, criticizing Meghan for going makeup-free on the cover. You get the idea she hates everything to do with holiday cooking, holiday decorating and holiday entertaining because it?s WOKE and just say Christmas! Nevermind that the Sussexes have Jewish, Muslim, Shinto and Hindu friends, just say Christmas!! Right? And why won?t she put her children on the Netflix show, or perhaps she could just recast them, wink, nudge! I honestly believe that these royalists don?t understand how deranged they sound to people who do not live and breathe the royal stan wars. As for the overarching complaint that dastardly Meg plots to steal keen thunder at every opportunity? literally, ALL of these people could choose to write about and pay attention to William and Kate and their meager schedule this week. Why are YOU choosing to devote all of your attention to analyzing every single frame of a Netflix trailer when you could be praising Kate and her gopher wiglet?
