Katy Perry may totally be over Russell Brand for good, but she’s still staying close to her more recent ex, guitarist Robert Ackroyd, according to reports.

On Wednesday, the “Part of Me” singer reunited with the Florence + the Machine member in London, where she's promoting her new 3D film.

The pair, who reportedly broke up after a month of dating, were spotted having dinner at the Dove before leaving the trendy eatery together.

According to reports, Katy was the one who called it quits after the couple were seen canoodling at the 2012 Coachella Music Festival in May.

“It wasn’t that serious. It’s not a nasty thing and they are still talking, but Katy told him to do his thing,” a source told Us Weekly at the time.

From all accounts, they remained close and there were “no hard feelings.”

Since her marriage ended, Katy has been pretty vocal about what went down with her divorce, both through song and through interviews.

“I think sometimes people think that we’re perfect, and we’re not, at all,” she said, and that means more than showing Katy Perry without makeup.

“I think it’s important [to] start breaking down the idea that you always have to be perfect, or flawless or live in some kind of fantasy world."

No real confirmation yet on whether Robert Ackroyd getting back together with her is anything more than fantasy, but stay tuned.

The campaign was shot by famed photographer Yu Tsai in Venice Beach and the vintage, hipster feel of the photo shoot can be felt throughout.

Lutz launched Abbot + Main last year (he's also a co-designer for the brand), and the dude is clearly mucho excited over this year's campaign.

His chiseled physique and sensual stare are more than enough to make the ladies swoon, and as for Kate? She's surprisingly clothed here!

In a vintage Mustang convertible, no less. Hot stuff.

When you have body dysmorphic disorder, you intensely obsess over your appearance and body image, often for many hours a day, and may feel very depressed or even suicidal, according to an eye-opening new study.

People who restrict how much they eat because they have body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), may be at higher risk of taking their own lives.

Researchers say restricting food intake because of BDD is linked with double the risk of suicide. In short, body image issues can kill you.

"Significantly limiting food intake can be physically painful," study researcher Dr. Katharine A. Phillips, M.D., of Rhode Island Hospital, said.

"It goes against our natural instincts to feed our bodies and people may respond to the physical pain that comes with extreme hunger."

"The results of this study suggest the importance of assessing individuals with BDD for restrictive eating behaviors to identify suicide risk, even if they haven't previously been diagnosed with an eating disorder."

Bob Welch, a musician best known for playing with iconic rock band Fleetwood Mac between 1971 and 1974, has committed suicide. He was 66.

Tip for idiots looking to cheat on your wives: Make sure the model you hit on isn't posting every one of your douchebag comments LIVE for the world to read.

Actor Brian Presley, the star of Touchback, was humiliated on Twitter courtesy of model Melissa Stetten, who live Tweeted his attempt at adultery.

Apparently, Presley attempted to hit on Stetten during a red eye flight Wednesday, and she documented the whole thing, humiliating the actor.

It's both hilarious and sad on so many levels, considering that Brian Presley is a devout Christian married for 10 years with a kid, and is supposedly sober.

Stetten tweeted that he drank three Heinekens during the flight, of course, among many other choice details that don't exactly help Brian's reputation.

Considering Presley plays a star QB in Touchback (with Kurt Russell) the botched football reference is as appropriate as it is moronic. Brian? Not smart.

Some of Stetten's more choice tweets appear below ...

Police arrived at Tila Tequila's home in L.A. on Thursday afternoon after the reality star mysteriously failed to show up for an important flight last night.

What's more, Tila's manager is worried she's gone missing.

Tila had already been paid for an eight-city singing tour in Germany (seriously) and was scheduled to take off Wednesday night at 11:30 p.m.

She never showed up to LAX, however, sparking concerns.

Tequila's manager was notified today she didn't make the flight and called Tila for an explanation. The oft-troubled star did not answer the phone.

The manager was therefore worried and sent her assistant to Tila's house to check on Tequila; the assistant knocked on the door, and got no answer.

She had been in rehab in March for substance abuse and psychological issues following an apparent suicide attempt, aneurysm and drug overdose.

Tila left rehab in April after a 30-day stay, and her rep insisted at the time that she had fully recovered and was the healthiest Tila had ever been.

Hopefully this is nothing. More details to follow.

UPDATE: She's been found! Inside her house!

Let us now pause from debating Kate Middleton baby bump photos to discuss the simple, undisputed and unrelated fact that Prince William is the man.

Not only is he rich, smart, handsome, married to a beautiful girl and a future monarch, but he's on his way to becoming a decorated serviceman!

Two years after joining the Royal Air Force Search and Rescue Force, the Duke of Cambridge has officially qualified to be an operational captain.

William can now lead missions in RAF Sea King helicopters by himself.

The 29-year-old recently helped save the lives of Russian seamen whose cargo vessel sank in the Irish Sea last November, co-piloting the aircraft.

William's advancement comes after two years of flying experience and study with C Flight, 22 Squadron at RAF Valley in Anglesey, Wales.

Flight Lieutenant Wales, as he is known in the RAF, "demonstrated the required standards needed for the award of operation captaincy," his commanding officer said.

"Due to the nature of search and rescue operations, the required standards are always set at a very high level. Operational captaincy carries the overarching responsibility for the continued safety of the aircraft, its crew and any casualties."

Wills - way to go man!

Sherri Shepherd. You go, girl!

The View co-host has taken action against a total loon on Twitter, actually filing a police report over an exchange that featured some maniac threatening to rape the actress.

The Tweet took place last night, with @DaCloneKiller writing to Shepherd: "Somebody should drag u in a back alley and rape you."

Shepherd re-Tweeted and added: "THIS IS A THREAT & I'M PISSED… You think I should be raped in a back alley? Let's see if the police agree w you & I took a pic of your tweet. I am going 2 file a police report 4U threatening me... And so help me God, when I find out where U live, charges will follow."

Shepherd proceeded to stand by her word, posting again last night:

"Just returned from filing a police report for this online harassment nonsense. I will be pursuing this legally… This type of bullying is one of the reasons children are killing themselves b/c there's no consequences for the bully(s)."

In a word: AMEN, Sherri Shepherd!

Between death threats made against Selena Gomez, and anyone who dares criticize Chris Brown, it's refreshing to see a celebrity take a stand against complete idiots online.

Tracy Mabb may not be a celebrity, but she's joined our celebrity mug shots gallery thanks to one of (if not the most) ridiculous booking photos ever.

The 35-year-old Miami, Fla., resident was arrested for pulling her clothing up in a busy road and flashing ALL of her private parts to passing drivers.

No word if her bizarre behavior was influenced by the coming zombie apocalypse in some way, but what is it with crazy people on Miami roads?!

Unsuspecting motorists were forced into watching the impromptu freak/strip show as Tracy Mabb revealed her breasts, vagina and buttocks. Lovely.

She acted in a “vulgar, indecent manner,” according to the police report.

“I don’t give a f**k,” said the blonde non-bombshell when apprehended for her actions. No word if she was on bath salts and/or is a Muppet.

Mabb was later charged with exposing sexual organs in public (that's an actual law!) and was being held in jail on Wednesday on a $600 bond.

Apparently she is also being held on a prior petty theft offense that allegedly took place April 8, according to Broward County court records.
