Is Katy Perry missing Lauren Sanchez's wedding? Here's everything we know
ALBAWABA - Katy Perry 's absence from Bezos-Sanchez wedding sparks breakup rumors online.
As Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos prepare to exchange vows in a three-day celebration in Venice, Italy, later this month, everyone's attention is focused on the guest list and one A-list couple in particular. Actor Orlando Bloom is apparently going to the wedding alone, according to TMZ, which has led to fresh rumors over his relationship with Katy Perry.
The engaged couple, who have been together since 2016, have reportedly been through a difficult time lately. Orlando's decision to go to Lauren Sanchez's wedding without Katy Perry is now drawing further criticism.

Given her recent intimacy with Lauren Sanchez, Katy Perry's absence is especially noteworthy. Together with their boyfriends, the two women have taken multiple summer vacations in Europe, enjoying sunny days in Italy and Croatia. They appeared to have a smooth relationship, both leading fulfilling lives and finding common ground beyond the spotlight.
But that relationship isn't limited to social networks. Perry was one of several invited to participate in a planned all-female mission, while Sanchez, as vice chair of Blue Origin, has garnered media attention for supporting female-led space efforts. Perry's absence from Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos' wedding in Venice, therefore, raises eyebrows and provokes questions about the current situation as well as the logistics of the tour in light of that past.

Despite their friendship, insiders claim that Katy Perry has previous tour commitments that will prevent her from attending Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos' wedding.
Perry's current tour of Australia includes dates that directly coincide with the June 24–26 wedding, with shows in Adelaide on June 26 and Perth on June 22 and 23.
It's intriguing to note that the latter performances were added to her tour after the original announcement but months before the wedding details were made public, indicating that there was no deliberate omission.

However, the timing has sparked speculation, particularly in light of rumors that the pair has been going through a difficult time. Insiders reveal that the unsatisfactory reception to her most recent album, 143, released in September, left Perry feeling overwhelmed and irritated.
After the reaction to her new album, Katy was really irritated. She was really stressed out by it," a source told PEOPLE. "There was some tension, but Orlando was understanding." "She was also disappointed in some of the tour reviews," said another insider. Their relationship is under stress as a result.
Although there are still rumors circulating, a source informed the Daily Mail that a breakup is not likely to happen very soon: Though it's not too late, the rumors of a difficult period are accurate. They both want to solve the problem and are aware that they need to fix it.

The 48-year-old actor, who will not be accompanied by Katy Perry, is anticipated to attend the wedding of Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos alone and socialize with a glittering array of monarchs, business titans, and celebrities. Fans hope Katy's absence is merely a scheduling conflict and not an indication of more serious issues, but given Sanchez and Perry's shared past, it's likely to be felt.

Mena Massoud reveals july wedding to Emily Shah with Egyptian-Indian traditions
ALBAWABA - Mena Massoud confirms July wedding in Italy with cultural traditions. Mena Massoud shocked his admirers by revealing the specifics of his impending nuptials to Emily Shah. He said the event will take place in Italy and will be tailored to Egyptian and Indian customs. He also discussed how their love story progressed. Mena disclosed the specifics of his nuptials, stating, "No, there isn't a wedding in Egypt. We've decided to get married in Italy. God willing, the wedding will take place next month. We'll take things one day at a time and have both an Indian and an Egyptian wedding before being married in a stunning location in Italy." Emily Shah Instagram profile "I'm an interviewer in general," he stated, referring to the specifics of his relationship with his spouse and their disparate personalities. She enjoys going out and interacting with people, but I like to stay at home and be by myself. That's my preference when it comes to socializing. My mood has improved because, as an actor, I need to be outgoing and socially engaged. She has been really helpful to me in this regard and absolutely encourages me to pursue it." He giggles and says, "She's been to Egypt once before, but hopefully, she'll return soon." When discussing the relationship between two distinct cultures, Mina stated that the greatest way for them to get to know one another is through food: "We truly enjoy each other's cuisine. She adores Egyptian cuisine, and I adore Indian cuisine. She says, 'I want falafel,' and she always eats falafel and fowl when she visits my mom's house. She likes my mom's filled vegetables as well. "I really like okra, bhindi (okra), but they make it in a different way, and lantal dal." He also lists his favorite Indian foods. "I love a lot of Indian food." He stated that they are considering collaborating on a creative endeavor in the future, adding, "We'll see if we can do something together... We were considering making an action film like Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Even in their everyday lives, despite their numerous differences, they enhance one another: "Of course, she exercises very seriously and exercises very seriously." She most likely visits the gym more frequently than I do. He wrapped it up by discussing their collaboration as producers, saying, "Believe me, we're producing together right now. She produces alongside me at my production company, so we work on many projects together." Mena Massoud and Emily Shah Announce Their Wedding Date Mena Massoud stated on the Egyptian ON channel's "With Mona El Shazly" program that he fell in love with Emily Shah while he was residing in Los Angeles. He went on, "We got to know one another for a time before we really started dating, and we met when I was living in Los Angeles. We got to know one another over the course of a year. She travels frequently because she is an actress and production worker, and her father is a well-known producer in India, just as I used to travel for work." Mena stated that Emily's kind disposition and certain characteristics, which made him feel at home among Egyptians, drew him to her. "What I enjoyed most about her is that she reminded me of Egyptians," he added, "yet her mother is American and her father is Indian." Her spirit and impressions are the same. She produces many items that I adore and is an excellent cook. I adore the Indian meal known as "Egyptian" okra, although they prepare it differently. The two families' relationship is marked by an atmosphere of love and respect for one another, which has strengthened their tie. Mina added, "From our side and her family's side, there is mutual respect and love, and that has helped the relationship grow stronger." He disclosed that the wedding will take place in late July. He mentioned that he had known Emily since 2018, before the premiere of his well-known movie "Aladdin," and that she had always been a fan of both him and the movie.

Kneecap ‘unfazed' by legal problems, says friend and director
PARIS — Irish rappers Kneecap are 'unfazed' by their legal problems and controversies kicked up by their anti-Israel pro-Palestinian statements, friend and film director Rich Peppiatt told AFP. Peppiatt helped create the Kneecap phenomenon with his 2024 semi-fictionalised film about the hip-hop group from Belfast, who are now playing major festivals around the world. The trio made headlines by projecting the words 'F..k Israel, Free Palestine' during their gig at US festival Coachella in April, while lyricist Mo Chara is set to appear in a London court on a terror charge on Wednesday. Chara, whose real name is Liam Og O Hannaidh, is accused of displaying a flag of Lebanon-based and anti-Israel group Hizbollah — a banned organisation — at a gig last year. 'Even through all the controversy at the moment, they just shrug their shoulders and get on with it,' Peppiatt told AFP. 'They are just completely unfazed by anything.' The former journalist first encountered Kneecap in a pub in Belfast in 2019 and was struck by their local fanbase, eventually convincing Chara, Moglai Bap and DJ Provai to appear in the movie about their lives. 'They've always been controversial at a local level, and they've always bounced back from it,' Peppiatt continued. 'The amount of times in the last six years I've heard 'that's the end of Kneecap' because of something they've said or done, and all it's done is propelled them to the next level,' he said. Kneecap started out as an overtly political project, with the group singing in Irish in defence of their language and protesting British rule in Northern Ireland. Their high-energy gigs, prolific drug-taking and the violent undercurrent of Belfast life were captured in Peppiatt's film 'Kneecap', which premiered at the Sundance film festival in 2024 to rave reviews. The dark comedy, music and occasional surrealist digression means it has been frequently compared to 1996 hit 'Trainspotting', which Peppiatt mentions as an influence. Drawing an estimated 6 million people to cinemas worldwide on a budget of just £3 million ($4 million), it was a debut hit for the London-born director. 'You certainly don't make a film about an Irish-language rap band no one's heard of, and who have never released an album, thinking it's going to be a hit,' Peppiatt, who recently obtained Irish nationality through his wife, told AFP. But he says it tapped into larger themes that people identify with, from the loss of local languages to the struggle in many countries against colonial-era influences. 'One useful thing about British colonialism is that when you've taken over a third of the world, if you make a film 50 or 100 years later, and it's all about 'fuck the British', you find an audience for it,' he joked. As for the question of whether his film created Kneecap the band, or whether the band made his film, he said it was a bit of both. 'I felt that they were going to break through. Obviously the film's accelerated that,' he said. Kneecap the film will hit screens in France and South Korea on Wednesday in the final stages of its international release. Kneecap's support for the Palestinian cause and their denunciation of Israel's devastating war in Gaza, Peppiatt said, was in line with Irish public opinion. 'There's always been a very close connection between the Irish cause and the Palestinian cause,' he said. 'Where they're from in West Belfast, there are as many Irish flags as there are Palestinian flags.' But critics see the group as going too far and accuse them of embracing violent extremists. One video of a gig appears to show a band member shouting 'Up Hamas, up Hizbollah'. Another from a 2023 performance, which was also assessed by British police, appears to show one of them urging fans to kill British lawmakers, leading to a public apology to the families of murdered MPs. Kneecap have called on fans to show up outside court on Wednesday in support of Chara and have labelled his prosecution 'political policing'. Peppiatt told AFP he did not always agree with the way the group expressed themselves. 'Where they slipped up for me at Coachella was saying 'fuck Israel', that's a very broad statement to make that incorporated a lot of people who don't believe in what's happening there [in Gaza],' he said. 'When you're friends with people you're allowed to disagree, and I do disagree with them on some things.'
