Katy Perry is forcefully denying a sexual assault allegation made by Ruby Rose, who claimed the incident occurred nearly two decades ago in Australia.

The dispute began when Rose, known for her roles in "Orange Is the New Black," posted a series of messages on Threads over the weekend. She alleged that Perry, then an emerging pop artist, assaulted her at a Melbourne nightclub while she was in her early 20s.

"It has taken me almost 20 years to say this publicly," Rose wrote, describing the experience as deeply traumatic. She claimed she initially framed the encounter as a humorous story before later deciding to speak out.

In response, a representative for Perry issued a firm denial, calling the allegations "categorically false" and warning that the claims are "dangerous reckless lies." The statement also pointed to what it described as Rose's history of making public accusations that have been disputed by others.

Rose went on to share graphic details about the alleged encounter, prompting strong reactions across social media. Supporters expressed solidarity with the actress, while others questioned the timing and nature of the claims

Pop star Britney Spears has checked into a treatment facility, just over a month after she was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.

A representative for the 44-year-old singer confirmed that she voluntarily entered the facility in April, following the March incident in California. Authorities said the arrest came after reports of a vehicle being driven erratically along U.S. 101 in Ventura County. Spears was subjected to field sobriety tests before being taken into custody and later released the same day.

Michael J. Fox reassured his fans on Wednesday night that he is very much alive after CNN accidentally published a pre-prepared obituary. The news network released an article and video titled "Remembering the life of Michael J. Fox" on Tuesday due to a technical error. CNN has since removed the content and issued an apology to the "Back to the Future" star and his family, explaining that preparing such tributes in advance is a standard industry practice.

But Fox appeared to take the news of his death with a touch of humor, writing on Threads, "How do you react when you turn on the TV and CNN is reporting your death?”

He offered a few options, which included changing the channel and calling his wife. One suggestion included, "relax, they do this once every year."

"I thought the world was ending, but apparently it's just me and I'm OK," Fox wrote.
