He was looking for the the pop singer Katy Perry. Ted Kennedy Jr. was away at his Connecticut home when he phoned his property in Massachusetts and a stranger answered, police said. Kennedy called the police, who found a black car parked outside the house when they arrived. Fifty-three-year-old James Lacroix was in the kitchen, wearing a Captain America T-shirt and camouflage shorts, police said. Lacroix was arrested for breaking and entering, CNN reports. He told the police he had been there for three hours and was looking for the pop singer Katy Perry. Does Lacroix know something we don’t know, or might he have confused Perry with former Kennedy [paramour](http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/taylor-swift-conor-kennedy-break-article-1.1192123) Taylor Swift? Perhaps we’ll never know. \[[_CNN_](http://www.cnn.com/2014/07/16/politics/kennedy-compound-break-in/index.html)\] ## Transcript [00:00] Does Katy Perry have a new man? That's what it looks [00:03] like. Just two months after splitting with beau of more [00:06] than a year, John Meyer. The birthday singer has [00:09] snagged another musician. The 29- year old star has [00:12] been spotted spending time with a DJ Diplo, real name [00:16] Wesley Pentz. The two were reportedly seen at [00:18] snuggling up at an Amazing Spider- Man 2 after party [00:21] in New York last week. A source tells People, they were [00:24] very affectionate, very lovey- dovey, and when they [00:26] weren't all over each other, they were constantly [00:29] looking at each other. She didn't want it to look like [00:31] they were together, but they were. The two reportedly [00:34] first started hanging out at Coachella a few weeks [00:37] back. A source tells People the duo spent most of the [00:40] weekend there together. Now the question is, will this [00:42] lead to anything serious for the star? The last time she [00:46] was spotted hooking up at Coachella with Florence and [00:48] the Machine guitarist Robert Ackroyd, it turned out to [00:51] be just a fling. And earlier this month, a pal told [00:54] People that Perry was happy being single, and while [00:57] she's always been a romantic, she knows that it [00:59] doesn't all have to happen immediately. Thanks for [01:02] watching, I'm Brice Sander. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/2991744/katy-perry-kennedy-compound/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/2991744/katy-perry-kennedy-compound/"},"headline":"Man Breaks Into Kennedy Compound Looking for Katy Perry","datePublished":"2014-07-16T12:37:58.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:48:42.179Z","description":"Maybe he knows something we don't know","url":"https://time.com/2991744/katy-perry-kennedy-compound/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Crime","celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltddff415624a2a053/69869be3169ab0886d27a5c9/katy-perry.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sam Frizell","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/sam-frizell/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltddff415624a2a053/69869be3169ab0886d27a5c9/katy-perry.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Katy Perry performs onstage during \"The Prismatic World Tour\" at the Verizon Center on June 24, 2014 in Washington, DC.","caption":"Katy Perry performs onstage during \"The Prismatic World Tour\" at the Verizon Center on June 24, 2014 in Washington, DC.","creditText":"Kevin Mazur—WireImage/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/2991744/katy-perry-kennedy-compound/","name":"Man Breaks Into Kennedy Compound Looking for Katy Perry"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Katy Perry's New Man","description":"Just two months after splitting with beau John Mayer, the 'Birthday' singer has snagged another musician: DJ Diplo.
