KP & JT: A Cheese Corn Autumn

The last time we checked in on Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau, it was late July/beginning of August during the celebrity summer of romance, and these two came out of nowhere to go on a date in Montreal. Justin brought out his fanboy to her show in Montreal and then it went quiet. As I wrote the last time I posted about them, “if they want to see more of each other, he’ll probably have to go to her”, and this is exactly what’s happened. 

They were seen unmistakably together on a yacht in California the other day. The Daily Mail had the exclusive.

Scroll through some of those comments – I understand why some people had no idea until now that Justin is no longer married because that was only big news in Canada but there are still a lot of people unaware that Katy and Orlando Bloom broke up. And so I go back to what I said when the KP and JT story first broke: Two people in their flop era getting together to un-flop themselves is a good move! Like, I totally forgot Katy was still on tour. And now I know that she actually is still on tour and that last night during her concert at the O2 last night she seemed to hint at their situationship when she brought a fan onstage who proposed to her.

So what started in the summer has now made it to a new season. KP and JT’s corn and cheese – and CRINGE – is the gossip we’re getting this autumn and, well, I’m still not mad at it. Because corn and cheese goes great together. These are two excessively earnest people who, on their own, possess an astonishing lack of self-awareness. In combination? It’s a gift. Because here’s the thing about Justin Trudeau – unlike Ben Affleck who was once also photographed on a yacht with his hand on a popstar’s ass, JT won’t be eventually be mortified by it. There is no tattoo that will embarrass him, no pair of jeans too tight, no costume that is too costumey (or offensive). 

This is a man who, when he was Prime Minister of Canada, was known to “take dressing up to a new level”. Remember when he was clowned from India to Canada when he went full Bollywood in 2018? This photo will forever live rent-free in my head. 

And you know who would appreciate that the most? Katy Perry. They could probably match each other, outfit for outfit. 

I’m telling you, they are made for each other. Her corn meets his cheese, or vice versa, and the cringe is just beginning. So please Gossip Genie, don’t end this until we get at least one award show red carpet appearance. I want it!
