For the first-time ever, the pop singer went to the Burning Man festival in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada and proved she was out of hr element. The singer joked about her novice moves when she posed a funny video from the Playa, in which she's all decked out in a beige fur coat, a tiny black backpack, goggles, and attempts but fails to ride a Segway. The Instagram shows the party-going popstar chasing the Segway arund the dusty desert.
KP may be a pro at Coachella but she's obvi a Burning Man virgin!
And her outfit? Quite tame for Burning Man standards. Many bloggers were commenting that the 30-year-old's outfit was quite boring for the wild, LED-laden, week-long festival which practices free love and open sharing.
Looks like next year, the "Firework" singer better step up her Burner game!
Meanwhile, Katy wasn't the only celeb who got into the free love lifestyle over the weekend. Susan Sarandon dared to do Burning Man this year in order to lead a funeral procession for her late friend, Timorth Leary, the "godfather of LSD" -- who died 19 years ago. The 67-year-old actress chose to spread her portion of the academic's ashes at the festival this year, after visiting last year and thinking it was the perfect place to honor him.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show star donned a festival bridal gown and laid Leary to rest at a "Totem of Confessions" art installation, surrounded by festival goers who had taken LSD to honor his memory.
"I think he'd be so happy," Sarandon told USA Today. "I think he would have loved the chaos. He would have loved it. And all these people honoring him with LSD."
It sounds like Susan Sarandon could give Katy Perry some hot tips on about how to do Burning Man right!

Kim and Kanye did NOT have a happy traveler on their hands this morning when they arrived in New York after an overnight flight from Los Angeles. Little Nori was cranky and tired when the family touched down in the Big Apple.
Kim did her best to keep the paparazzi quiet so North could sleep as they departed LA but apparently it wasn't enough ... their daughter seemed in desperate need of a bed (with 1000 thread-count Frette sheets), as Kim carried her tyke into their New York hotel.
The family color-coordinated, as usual -- Kim in her monochromatic black, hiding her baby bump with her now-ubiquitous duster coat; Kanye is black and blue denim with Yeezy Boosts and a Nirvana tee; and Nori in her adorable Mongolian lamb fur jacket, jeans and white Vans.
And just to be clear, people, the King and Queen of All Media (sorry, Howard Stern), were NOT flying private. It was a United commercial flight for the trio. Were they penny-pinching after a horrible week in the stock market?!

Kim and Khloe Kardashian went to the studio on Friday to shoot interviews for Keeping Up With The Kardashians, and the ladies were in a very good mood after the taping. Khloe showed off her slimmed down figure in a tight black dress and Kim flashed us a peek at her baby bump in an even tighter outfit. Er, how comfortable is that?
This morning we spotted Kourtney out with her two oldest kids, Mason and Penelope, but estranged baby daddy Scott Disick was nowhere in sight. Wonder if Scott and Kourt are ever going to get back together? In addition to shooting the family's reality show and attending promotional appearances, Kourt has been on mommy duty 95% of the time while Scott has been spotted with Mason just a few times this summer...

The couple that buys makeup together stays together? We're so confused!
On Friday afternoon Emma Roberts and Evan Peters went shopping at Sephora in Los Angeles, and the duo held hands when X17 photographers snapped them in the parking garage. While they've broken up and gotten back together more times than we can count over the years, the former American Horror Story co-stars reportedly ended their engagement just three months ago. Er, apparently not!
Emma and Evan got engaged around Christmas in 2013, and that was just six months after she was arrested for allegedly assaulting him in Montreal after an argument. These two just can't seem to make up their minds!

That was nice of him!
Taylor Swift posted the above shot on Instagram yesterday and wrote, “Awwww Kanye sent me the coolest flowers!! #KanTay2020 #BFFs."
Last Sunday the singer presented the rapper with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, so it seems like the two have totally buried the hatchet after Yeezy oh-so-rudely interrupted her acceptance speech at the VMAs in 2009.
Of course, Kanye has a way of using flowers to woo the ladies! In 2014 he gifted wide Kim Kardashian an entire WALL of them for her first Mother’s Day. Kim posted a video on Instagram and wrote, “Yeah, Daddy sent these. A wall of roses, hydrangeas, and peonies for Mother’s Day.â€

Johnny Depp and wife Amber Heard attended the premiere of Black Mass at the Venice Film Festival on Friday, and not only did the two look amazing, but we think these photos shoot down any rumors of their marriage being on the rocks. Don't they look totally smitten with one another?!
Depp is getting rave reviews for his role in the flick, which is about the life of Boston gangster James “Whitey†Bulger. Bulger spent a decade on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list, and after more than 15 years on the run, he was was finally captured in 2011 and he's now serving two life sentences for murder and other crimes.
Deadline reports that when the film screened yesterday morning it was met with "strong applause at the end — twice," and there's already been quite a bit of Oscar buzz around Depp's performance. Now we want to see this!

We already knew Tom Brady's four-game suspension was lifted following a judge overturning the Deflategate drama in court, and now the New England Patriots quarterback has shared his thoughts on Facebook.
Brady said in a statement:
“The regular season starts tomorrow morning and I can’t wait to fully commit my energy and emotion to focus on the challenges of the 2015 NFL season. I want to thank my family, my friends, all of the fans, past and current players and my teammates for the support they have given me throughout this challenging experience. I also want to thank Judge Berman and his staff for their efforts to resolve this matter over the past five weeks. I am very grateful. My thanks also to the union's legal team who has fought so hard right along with me.
While I am pleased to be eligible to play, I am sorry our league had to endure this. I don’t think it has been good for our sport - to a large degree, we have all lost. I am also sorry to anyone whose feelings I may have hurt as I have tried to work to resolve this situation. I love the NFL. It is a privilege to be a member of the NFL community and I will always try to do my best in representing my team and the league in a way that would make all members of this community proud.
I look forward to the competition on the playing field and I hope the attention of NFL fans can return to where it belongs - on the many great players and coaches who work so hard every week, and sacrifice so much, to make this game great. Most importantly, I look forward to representing the New England Patriots on Thursday night in our season opener. I hope to make all of our fans proud this year … and beyond!â€
In case you forgot what happened, it was alleged that Brady knew about Patriots staffers deflating game footballs before the AFC Championship in January. The Patriots beat the Indianapolis Colts 45-7, so we have a feeling it was about more than just the balls. Anyway, the Pats went on to beat the Seattle Seahawks at Super Bowl XLIX, hence why some feathers were ruffled. Brady was suspended in May for four games, and he even filed a lawsuit against the NFL Players Association.
Despite rumors of marital troubles with supermodel wife Gisele Bundchen, she was was spotted at one of Brady's court hearings in New York City last week, and a few hours after his Facebook post, she posted the below shot on Instagram and wrote, "and my heart melts ...#biggestlove #family."

But is this guy REALLY her type? She's towering over him, and frankly these pants would look better on Cait!
Caitlyn Jenner went on a dinner date with author and journalist Buzz Bissinger on Friday night in Malibu, and this must be the oddest pairing we've ever seen. Of course, Buzz was the one who wrote "Call me Caitlyn" for Vanity Fair earlier this year, so the two certainly have a rather unique bond. Bissinger has previously written that he's questioned his sexuality, so maybe he's looking to try something new?
"It would be very attractive to me to have a guy treat me like a woman. Not make it this big trans thing or this or that. Just a normal relationship," Cait told her trans friend Jennifer Boylan on I Am Cait last week. Maybe she was just testing the waters with a male pal she felt safe with? She certainly dressed to impress -- we've seen her in way hotter outfits than this:
