How Orlando Bloom is turning into ‘world's worst ex' after Katy Perry split from cringe behaviour to nepo-baby parties
But Orlando Bloom has upped his swashbuckling adventures off-camera over the past few weeks, in the aftermath of his and Katy Perry's break-up.

All that's left us wondering: has Orlando, 48, assumed his greatest role yet…as the worst ex ever?
Because as far as he's concerned, his single era's in full Bloom. And he is making sure the world knows about it.
Whether it's air-kissing the Kardashians and co at the Bezos-Sanchez wedding, or partying with
Meanwhile, his very recent ex has been grafting hard on her world tour, Lifetimes, and plastering on a smile following the end of their nine-year relationship.

His jam-packed social diary includes cringe-inducing selfies and videos, and a bleary-eyed appearance at Wimbledon the morning after the night before at Oasis.
Rewinding two months, the actor was there to greet Katy, with their four-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove, in tow, following her all-female, 11-minute space flight with Blue Origin in April.
But behind the scenes, reports spread that the couple's out-of-this-world love had come crashing down to earth, amid rumours that Orlando wasn't happy with Katy's very attention-seeking spectacle.
One month later, their engagement was reportedly over, and they were duly pictured on opposite sides of the world.

And the cringey behaviour didn't stop there, as Orlando - the man who didn't like Katy's public spectacle - decided to run a lap of Venice in the shortest shorts possible.
Needless to say, short-shrift was given to any alleged hopes he had of going incognito.
Days later, the former couple announced in a statement that 'Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting.
'They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is - and always will be - raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect.'
Days later, they stayed true to their word - with Orlando sharing photos from a family holiday in Italy with Katy, Daisy Dove, and Orlando's son Flynn, 14, whom he shares with ex-wife Miranda Kerr.
But after bidding the family arrivederci, the actor was off to the races - seemingly loving every minute of his newfound single life.
Over the weekend, he posted a video from

Singing blissfully into his phone, the actor sparked a mixed reaction. Some loved his unbridled love for the band; others found it just a wee bit cringeworthy.
One commenter wrote: 'Midlife crisis on full display,' while another weighed in: 'Grow up.'
A third added: 'Hasn't done anything since Lord of the Rings.
'Such a boring non-entity.'
Not one to be deterred, the father of two partied into the night, before donning his fineries the following day to attend the Wimbledon Men's Final.

Taking to Instagram, he later wrote: 'What a game!!!
'There is something so reassuringly British and life affirming about Wimbledon.'
Once again, his exploits sparked a mixed reaction.
One follower joked, 'You're everywhere,' while another added, 'He's having quite the freeloading summer.'
Meanwhile, in contrast to his very social life, Orlando's acting career hasn't quite sparked the same global attention.
His most recent film, Deep Cover - in which he stars as an improv actor turned undercover agent - was released on Amazon Prime last month.
So far, it's garnered positive reviews, but it's had half the impact of Orlando's social calendar.
I sometimes look at a cow and think, that's the most beautiful thing ever
Orlando Bloom
What's more, he may have been Hollywood hot property in the noughties - with roles in massive franchises like Lord of The Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean - but he's hardly made a splash since.
He's worked relatively consistently, but his personal life has always eclipsed his professional output.
Very public relationships with actress Kate Bosworth and first wife Miranda Kerr have increased his reputation as a celebrity romancer.
That was then cemented when he got together with singer Katy in 2016 - before proposing in 2020.
They'd initially planned to get married in
Then, after the initial postponement, they said their busy schedules kept getting in the way.
Sources have since said: "They never set a date for the wedding or got around to planning anything, and Orlando is 'over it.''
Meanwhile, despite Orlando's love for things 'reassuringly British' he's slowly but surely become a parody of an LA cliche.
90 percent vegan
In 2021, he went viral for all the wrong reasons, after taking part in the Sunday Times' Day in the Life series.
On an average day, he said, he woke up at 6.30am and spent time 'connecting' with his then baby daughter.
He said: 'I'll do eye-gazing with her and sing songs.'
Then, his day got progressively madder, as he explained: 'I like to earn my breakfast so I'll just have some green powders that I mix with brain octane oil, a collagen powder for my hair and nails, and some protein.
'It's all quite LA, really.'
As well as chanting 'for 20 minutes every day, religiously', he also went hiking and built Lego.
Capping off the universally-mocked feature, he explained why he was 90 percent vegan, opining: 'I sometimes look at a cow and think, that's the most beautiful thing ever'...despite the fact that, 10 percent of the time, he ate red meat.
Orlando was duly mocked to oblivion for his 'normal routine' - and his reputation hasn't quite survived the wreckage.
Now, as he continues to make hay while the sun shines on his very single summer, we're all wondering: are we watching him play his biggest role to date, as the world's worst - and certainly most embarrassing - ex?
Sadly for Katy, Orlando may have hung up his pirate costume decades ago… but it looks like he's more determined than ever to sail the seas.

Kelly Osbourne's heartbreaking tribute to dad Ozzy
Kelly Osbourne has referenced her father Ozzy's music in a heartbreaking tribute to her late dad. Ozzy passed away on Tuesday (July 22) following a lengthy battle with Parkinson's Disease, aged 76. His death came just weeks after his farewell concert with the original lineup of Black Sabbath, in their native Aston in Birmingham as they played in Villa Park. Tributes have been paid to the Prince of Darkness following his death and storied career, with Kelly — who had a career in music and reality TV of her own as well as being a panellist on The View — paying a heartbreaking tribute to her father, referencing his own lyrics on her Instagram stories. Kelly Osbourne has referenced her father Ozzy's music in a heartbreaking tribute to her late dad. Pic:for The Recording Academy Taking a line from the song Changes, Kelly wrote 'I feel unhappy, I feel so sad. I lost the best friend I ever had,' alongside a heartbreak emoji. Black Sabbath released the song in 1972 on their Vol 4 album, before Ozzy re-released the song in 2003 as a duet with his daughter. Kelly had posted a sweet video of Ozzy with her two-year-old son Sidney just two days before his death, saying good morning to the camera and panning to her dad, who was wearing headphones before telling the camera good morning. Kelly made a reference to the song Changes in a moving tribute to her late dad. Pic:Kelly is the second youngest of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne's six children, and was a highlight of the reality show that followed her family in the 2000s where she was a typical teenager with angst and teenage humour. In 2002, she released her debut album Shut Up, which included a cover of Papa Don't Preach, in 2002, followed by Sleep in Nothing in 2005. She also got engaged to her partner, Slipknot DJ Sid Wilson, following her father's final concert with Black Sabbath. The couple share one son in Sidney. Ozzy passed away on Tuesday, July 22. Pic:Sharon has also responded to individual tributes to her late husband, who left behind a staggering €187.24 million fortune, including musician Gavin Rossdale who wrote 'RIP Ozzy – a great man – a true legend – I met Ozzy through Jack just a few times but he was so warm and kind and funny and I love that memory.' Sharon responded 'bless you' to the tribute, as well as thanking BBC Radio 1 DJ Jack Saunders for his tribute to Ozzy, writing 'Jack, thank you for your tribute to Ozzy tonight, bless you.'

Oasis to play first concert in London in 16 years
Oasis will return to London to play their first gig there in more than 16 years After a run of homecoming gigs in Manchester's Heaton Park, the Don't Look Back In Anger singers, fronted by Gallagher brothers Liam and Noel, will take to the stage at London's Wembley Stadium on Friday. The Champagne Supernova singing rock band announced their highly anticipated reunion tour in August last year, after Noel quit in 2009 after a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris. The Wonderwall singers will now return to perform at Wembley Stadium for the first time since July 12, 2009, when they performed during their Dig Out Your Soul tour. With five nights scheduled, the group posted door and stage timings on their Instagram account with an hour-by-hour breakdown of the evening, starting with the gates opening at 5pm. The night will kick off from 6pm with the rock band Cast, followed by singer Richard Ashcroft at 7pm. Oasis will then take the stage for a two-hour set at 8.15pm. The group kicked off their Oasis Live '25 world tour on July 4 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, receiving five star reviews from critics at The Guardian, The Telegraph and The Times. The group has also dominated the UK album charts, with three top five albums, according to the Official Charts Company. While fans were excited at the reunion, some were outraged after some standard tickets in the UK and Ireland jumped from £148 (€170) to £355 (€408). The controversy prompted the Government and the UK's competition watchdog to pledge to look at the use of dynamic pricing. After their final London gig on August 3, the group will move north to Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium before performing at Dublin's Croke Park. The band will then head to Japan, South Korea, South America, Australia and North America. Formed in Manchester in 1991, the band was led by lead guitarist Noel and lead vocalist Liam during their 18 years together. Oasis signed to independent record label Creation Records in 1993, rising to fame with the release of their debut chart-topping album Definitely Maybe on August 29 1994. They had hits with songs including Don't Look Back In Anger, Champagne Supernova, Wonderwall and Live Forever. Dig Out Your Soul, the band's last studio album, was released in 2008, just months before the Paris row.
