Katy_Perry_Orlando_Bloom.jpg


Katy Perry revealed her racy reaction to Orlando Bloom doing chores around the house.

Perry opened up about her relationship with "The Lord of the Rings" star in an episode of "Call Her Daddy." The "American Idol" judge and Bloom first began dating in 2016 before splitting after a year. The two jumped back into a relationship in 2018 and got engaged on Valentine's Day in 2019.

In the new interview, Perry noted a red flag within a relationship would be a partner who doesn't help out.

For Bloom's part, the actor and Perry attended "lots of couple's therapy" because they want to "evolve." "I think why we're in our relationship is to become better humans so that we can raise this beautiful human being," Perry said of their three-year-old daughter Daisy.

"One of my love languages is acts of service," Perry admitted. "So, it's like if I come downstairs and the kitchen is clean, and you've done it all — you've done all the dishes, and you've closed all the pantry doors — you better be ready to get your d--- sucked."

"Like literally. That is my love language," she added. "I don't need a red Ferrari. I can buy a red Ferrari. Just do the f---ing dishes!"

The $4.10 an hour I got for washing dishes at the Henderson and Kenney Road Max and Erma's back in the 1980s seems inadequate now.

so i had it on the agenda to do the siding on the shed this year, however upon further/closer inspection of the shed, I believe that would be putting lipstick on the pig. So I will not be replacing the siding, but hopeful to replace the entire shed next spring. Shifting focus to the yard this summer. I still am in recovery mode for the back yard after the patio replacement last summer. I need to get top soil delivered and level some spots, as well as a bunch of bare spots that never recovered last year.

the mrs has also added a few items to "our" list, minor bathroom remodel and updating tile of the entry way. We bought this place 8 years ago with full knowledge this was a house with a bunch of needs.

my mother in law's house has also become a project place for me - so i've got a busy summer ahead of me

Best wishes brother. I’m rehabbing a 1945 house and it’s slow going. Getting a little old and might need to fire some stuff out

Godspeed iambrutus. I hope that gets her wet. The wife, not MIL.

Unless she is on speaker phone and that gets her off. No shame.

oy. i'm hoping to do our kitchen in 2-3 years, but its a point of contention in our home b/c I want to do a full redesign, mrs wants to just replace cabinets and counter. Since I do the work, I usually have the final say on design.

I've made some progress on the lawn this year, but it really feels like its going to be a 2 year goal. I've replaced the tile in the entryway, which also lead to step replacement, of which i have half of them done because NOTHING in this house is square/level so everything I redo ends up taking twice as long as it should - i should have it completely rebuilt by the time the kids are picking out my nursing home :biggrin:

Wife just said the most terrifying things I've ever heard - "We need to finish the basement and I want to remodel the kitchen"
Fell to my knees in terror.

Honestly I think a divorce might be cheaper at this point.

I'm in month nine of a renovation. It is the worst. Hemorrhaging cash and praying my framing crew doesn't get deported to El Salvador.

I’ve been working on my basement among other things. 1945 house, so yeah nothing is square. Hoping to have the basement ready for the season opener against UT. Working on mudding the walls now, which is definitely not my area of expertise.

Planning on building an outdoor kitchen, but not sure that will happen this year.

i HATE doing drywall. when we bought this place, we were fortunate enough to be able to float 2 mortgage payments for 6 months while i worked on the house in evenings/weekends. the entire upstairs (split level) was wood paneling - i didn't want to do drywall, so i used compound to fill the grooves, then sanded the entire thing and painted - turned out great, it looks like drywall, but I sanded for weeks getting it right. I saved a bunch of money doing it that way but damn was it a ton of work. I've done 99% of the work myself, wife does the painting because i hate doing it. I did hire out the patio we had put in last summer because I wanted perfection, and it's18x41 so what took them 3 days would have taken me 3 months.

Outdoor kitchens are wasting your money friend.
