According to insiders, her husband, actor Orlando Bloom, may have played a part in the setback. Perry, 39, has faced criticism for her latest album 143 , which was released on September 20. Fans and critics alike have been underwhelmed by both the album and her performances. A source told Life & Style  magazine that Perry's decision to focus more on her sex appeal was encouraged by Bloom, but it hasn't worked out as hoped. "Katy's fans expected more from her, and this album didn’t deliver," the source shared. "Orlando thought it was a good idea, but now Katy is dealing with negative reviews and a lack of excitement from her fans."

Photo: LeBron James (Instagram) In a recent episode of the "All the Smoke" podcast, former NBA player Mateen Cleaves shared how he came up with the nickname “Heaven Sent” for LeBron James . Cleaves explained that he thought of the name after watching LeBron play during his rookie season. When asked about LeBron's first year, Cleaves said, "It was different. I gave him the nickname Heaven Sent because he was so good right from the start. I thought, 'He can't be that good.' But then, practicing with him, I realized he was the real deal. He had an amazing feel for the game and could do anything he wanted on the court." Cleaves played in the NBA for six seasons, including one year with the Cleveland Cavaliers, where he saw LeBron shine. While many basketball stars take years to reach their peak, LeBron made an immediate impact. Standing 6'9" and coming out of St. Vincent-St. Mary High School, he drew comparisons to legends like Magic Johnson an

Photo: Anthony Edwards (Instagram) Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards recently shared his thoughts on the leadership styles of NBA legends Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant . Edwards, often compared to Jordan because of their similar playing style, has a different view on how to lead a team. In an interview with Chris Tucker for Interview Magazine , Edwards said leadership in today’s NBA has changed. "You can’t talk to everyone the same," Edwards explained. "Some players you can be tough on, but others need a softer approach. You can’t cuss everyone out in front of the team." Edwards has spoken before about how Jordan was the standout player of his era, which led to some reactions from NBA stars like Magic Johnson and Kevin Garnett .

Photo: Mike Tyson (Instagram) Boxing legend Mike Tyson has shared why he had to back out of his fight with YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul . The two were set to face each other in July, but Tyson, 58, had to cancel due to a flare-up of an ulcer . Tyson said his poor diet caused the health issue. "I was eating too much bad food and I got sick," he explained. Now, he says he's feeling better after changing his diet to avoid processed foods and eating healthier. The fight is now rescheduled for November 15 at the AT&T Arena in Texas, where up to 90,000 fans can attend. Despite concerns about Tyson's age and health , the former heavyweight champion is back in training. He says he's working hard, spending six hours a day at the gym to get ready for the match.

Photo: Darvin Ham (Instagram) Darvin Ham , the former head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, spoke out for the first time since being let go this summer. After two years leading the Lakers, Ham was fired despite having a 90-74 record and making the playoffs twice. Both of those playoff runs ended in losses to the Denver Nuggets, first in the Western Conference Finals, then in the first round. Ham's overall record wasn’t bad, especially for a first-time head coach. He won more games than he lost and came close to making the NBA Finals. However, he couldn’t fully get the players to follow his lead, which led to him being fired. Some also felt he wasted two great seasons from LeBron James and a healthy Anthony Davis . Now, Ham is back with the Milwaukee Bucks as an assistant coach under Doc Rivers . In his first public comments since being fired, Ham told ESPN he has no hard feelings toward the Lakers.

Photo: Mike Tyson (Instagram) Mike Tyson isn’t impressed with Jake Paul 's $5 million offer for their upcoming fight. Paul, 27, has promised to pay the former heavyweight champ if Tyson can make it past the fourth round. If not, Tyson would have to get a tattoo saying, "I love Jake Paul." Tyson, 58, thinks $5 million isn’t enough. “He should offer more,” Tyson told USA TODAY Sports. When asked how much, Tyson replied, “Probably about $20 million.” Many believe Tyson’s best chance to win is by knocking Paul out early, but Tyson says it won’t be that easy. "I don't expect him to fight me head on, so I’ll have to catch him after a few rounds," Tyson said.

I’m ready right now," he added. Tyson spoke alongside David Cynamon, chairman of LF*GO!, a company that makes caffeine-infuse

The interview, which took place during the press tour for Les Misérables , resurfaced online. In the clip, Norwegian reporter Kjersti Flaa asked Hathaway and her co-stars, Hugh Jackman and Eddie Redmayne, if they would sing their answers to her questions. While Jackman and Redmayne agreed, Hathaway declined, saying, "I won’t be doing that, but you’re welcome to sing." After the video resurfaced, Hathaway reached out to Flaa to apologize. Flaa posted a new video revealing that she had received an email from Hathaway's representative, which included a personal message from the actress. Flaa was surprised, saying, "I had not expected her to reach out at all." In the email, Hathaway explained what she was going through at the time of the interview and apologized for her behavior, calling it an "awful interview." Flaa

Photo: Joel Embiid (Instagram) Joel Embiid , star player for the Philadelphia 76ers, has faced issues due to injuries, but it's not just his team's success that's been affected.  A new NBA rule requiring players to play at least 65 games to qualify for major awards, like MVP, has hurt Embiid's chances for recognition. Retired NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas believes this rule has unfairly impacted Embiid's career. On his podcast, Arenas said that Embiid often outperforms Nikola Jokic , another top center in the league. "He lost his MVP because of a rule. He's probably the best player in the league, and he and Jokic are fighting for the top spot," Arenas said. Photo: Joel Embiid (Instagram) Last season, Embiid averaged 34.7 points per game and shot 52.9%, but he only played 58 games. Some fans argue that playing 65 games shouldn't be too hard for a 30-year-old. Arenas, however, feels  Embiid's performance in fewer games is still MVP-worthy. The rule
