Katy Perry's friends are saying she is "addicted" to John Mayer.
The couple got back together just two weeks after Katy dumped John. She had a change of heart and went begging him to take her back.
A source told the National Enquirer: "After they split, Katy had a change of heart and started bombarding John with phone calls, texts and e-mails, begging him to get back together. Katy has been drowning her sorrows in a sea of booze and partying. It's inconceivable that she would take John back, but she's very vulnerable right now."
"Katy has spectacularly bad taste in men, and to her John is the coolest guy around. But the next time he crushes her heart – which is bound to happen soon – it could have devastating consequences for her, both personally and professionally."
"The X Factor"'s second season kicked off last night, showcasing new judges Britney Spears and Demi Lovato. The pop duo join returning judges Simon Cowell and LA Reid.
Auditions got underway in Austin, Texas. The show opened strong with 21-year-old Paige Thomas, who wowed the judges with her powerhouse voice, rock star ensemble and 3-year-old daughter.
New to this year's format is a behind-the-scenes storyline, which aims to showcase the so-called "bitchiness," according to Cowell, that seems to go on backstage. Audiences not only see the judges banter back and forth between takes, but they also witness 22-year-old contestant Kaci Newton make faces and snide comments about her competition from behind the curtain.
13-year-old Reed Dennings barely scraped through to the next round on charm.

" The Voice" returned with its season three premiere, featuring a collection of blind auditions and a group performance by the coaches.
The two-hour premiere began with the coaches -- Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton – performing "Start Me Up" together.
The blind auditions then get started.
Terry McDermott
Song: "Teenage Wasteland"
Coaches Who Turn Their Chairs: Green, Levine, Shelton
The Scottish rocker chooses Shelton as his coach.
De'Borah
Song: "Hey, Soul Sister"
Coaches Who Turn Their Chairs: Aguilera and Green
She selects Aguilera because her song, "The Voice Within," inspired her.
Gracia Harrison
Song: "I Wanna Be a Cowboy's Sweetheart"
Coaches Who Turn Their Chairs: Shelton, Levine, Green
The country crooner creates the first big fight between the coaches. "You are the best country singer we have ever heard on this show," says Levine. But Gracia can't be swayed from going with reigning country coach, Shelton. Levine gets payback by mocking Shelton's accent.
Garrett Gardner
Song: "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?"
Coaches Who Turn Their Chairs: None
The 16-year-old, a son of a musician, doesn't quite have the skills that the coaches are looking for. It's tough to see him break down on stage, but the coaches try to encourage him to keep working on his voice.
Devyn DeLoera
Song: "Ain't No Other Man"
Coaches Who Turn Their Chairs: Aguilera, Shelton, Levine
Singing one of the coaches' songs is always a risk, but it pays off for this once-shy 20-year-old singer. Of course, she chooses to be on Aguilera's team.

Coaches Who Turn Their Chairs: Aguilera, Shelton, Levine, Green
The first contestant to get all four coaches to turn their chairs, Bryan is the son of musician Ray de la Paz. He chooses Levine as his coach.

Anita Antoinette
Song: "No Woman, No Cry"
Coaches Who Turn Their Chairs: None
Although none of the coaches turn their chairs, they ask Anita to sing the song again, this time with feeling. The coaches are much more impressed the second time around. And while this doesn't get Anita on a team, it does make her feel better.
Joe Kirkland
Song: "Gives You Hell"
Coaches Who Turn Their Chairs: Shelton, Levine
The 24-year-old singer, whose band was dropped from its label, chooses Levine.
Jessica Sharpe
Song: "Son of a Preacher Man"

"Sometimes the magic isn't in the air," Levine says after Jessica's performance, but he also encourages her to keep trying.
Trevin Hunte
Song: "Listen"
Coaches Who Turn Their Chairs: Aguilera, Green, Shelton
Trevin's performance gets Aguilera to turn her chair almost immediately, but he ends up choosing to be on CeeLo Green's team.
Even though the significant others are BFF's, Beyonce is not actually a huge fan of Kim Kardashian… but you wouldn't know it in public. They're not the only ones faking a friendship for the cameras. Here are nine other celebs that appear to be pals, but actually kinda hate each other:
Christina Aguilera wants the world to know she loves her curves.
In a new interview with Lucky magazine, she said: "Actually, the challenge I've always had is being too thin, so I love that now I have a booty, and obviously I love showing my cleavage. Hey, if you can work it and you can own it, that confidence is going to shine through."
"When you're young, it's so easy to get bull-dozed. There were these two ladies who worked at the record label who always wanted to come to fittings and dress me up like a Barbie doll. It was disgusting."
