EXCLUSIVE Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom's explosive row over 'cringeworthy' space flight... as Lauren Sanchez's wedding escalates tensions
Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry 's relationship imploded after the singer made her embarrassing journey into space — and now the embattled couple is sparring over who will attend the wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez.
The pair were already on the rocks when Perry made the widely-derided 11-minute trip to space in April. The Blue Origin flight, led by Sánchez, quickly became a PR disaster.
Perry, in particular, became the internet's punching bag for her eccentric actions, hogging the camera while holding up a daisy - a nod to her daughter - in zero gravity, before bizarrely dropping to her knees and kissing the ground on touchdown.
But she received little to no support from Bloom who blasted the 'embarrassing' debacle during an explosive row.
'He told her the whole thing looked ridiculous,' a source in Perry's camp told the Daily Mail. 'He said it was cringeworthy. Embarrassing. This was in the middle of a fight, and it hurt her feelings.'
'Of course she was hurt,' the source continued. 'Imagine going to space — motherf****** space — and your partner isn't impressed. She hoped he'd be more supportive.'
Far from resolving their issues, tensions heightened as talk turned to who was going to attend Bezos and Sánchez's upcoming nuptials.
The three-day celebration will reportedly kick off on June 24 in Venice, Italy.
Bloom, 48, is on the guest list, but Perry, 40, will not be present at the celebrations, according to TMZ.
'She does have prior commitments, but it goes deeper than that,' our insider said, noting that the singer will still be on tour in Australia, which she first announced months before the wedding date and location were unveiled.
'Katy feels like they're really her friends more than his, and yet he's the one going to the wedding' they continued.
'And he's insistent that he goes, which annoys her because he's not particular close to either of them. She feels like it's a 'f*** you' to her from him.'
What really stings is his apparent hypocrisy. 'He complains about her going to space, and then wants to go to the wedding of the people who made it possible for her to do this in the first place,' our insider said.
'That's difficult for her to accept. They're already spiraling and now the wedding is another thing that they have to fight about.'
Their rocky patch comes at a time of professional turmoil for Perry, who has become the subject of hundreds of insulting internet memes.
Earlier this month People claimed Katy's poorly-performing album 143 has caused 'tension' in her relationship with her fiancé.
The singer's seventh studio album, 143, was released in September 2024, and received a largely negative response from fans as well as critics, who claimed the record sounds 'generated through AI.'
While the album was meant to be empowering to women, critics slammed it as being reductive.
Additionally, Perry shared snaps of a topless Bloom and talked freely about the couple's sex life, despite previous agreements to keep their personal life private, with sources at the time telling the Daily Mail that she was leveraging their romance amid the backlash.
Her Lifetimes world tour has struggled to shift tickets in some countries, and clips of her futuristic stage show have been posted on Tiktok and Instagram hundreds of times, sparking millions of critical comments and jokes about the singer.
A second source close to the couple told the Daily Mail that Bloom is annoyed that Perry is not listening to his advice.
'Katy has not been the same person for over a year now and Orlando has had enough,' they said.
'He advised her against this album. She did it. He advised her against space. She did it. He advised her against this tour and she did it.'
'From where Orlando stands, all he ever wanted was for Katy to be herself,' the source continued. 'He fell in love with her and who she is inside but this past year, he believes, has brought out the worst in her.'
Perry and Bloom first met in January 2016. They had a brief breakup in 2017, but later reconciled by March 2018.
The pair got engaged on Valentine's Day in 2019 and welcomed their daughter Daisy Dove in August 2020.
They were reportedly set to marry in Japan in summer 2020 but were forced to postpone due to the coronavirus pandemic.
It is unclear if the couple will survive this rough patch, but Bloom feels that Perry needs to center herself on the things that are important.
'He wants her to be happy and he wants her to be authentic,' the insider continued. 'He just wants her to stop and enjoy the life that she has built.'

28 Years Later fans are left shocked over 'weird' Jimmy Savile reference and 'insane' cliffhanger ending
28 Years Later has finally hit screens after years of anticipation and longtime fans of the horror franchise rushed to cinemas to watch the new film. The third instalment has been hailed by critics as 'terrifying and electrifying' after it hit UK screens on Friday, and it stars Ralph Fiennes, Aaron Taylor Johnson and Jodie Comer. With plenty of jump scares and gore, it provides fans with the long-awaited update about the state of the world 28 years after the outbreak that hit the UK in the 2002 original 28 Days Later. However, one unexpected detail has left fans completely baffled as there was a seeming reference to disgraced TV presenter Jimmy Savile. The 'bizarre' ending introduced Jack O Connell's character, cult leader Sir Jimmy Crystal, who appears to have been directly inspired by Jim'll Fix It presenter Savile. Sexual abuse allegations emerged against Savile after his death in 2011, and it is believed he preyed on around 500 victims aged from five to 75 years old over many decades. And the movie appeared to reference the disgraced former BBC star as Sir Jimmy and his cult followers were all dressed up in tracksuits, blonde wigs and jewellery. If the visual parallels weren't enough, all of the characters were also called 'Jimmy' as the cult appeared to have modelled itself off the infamous sexual predator. In the fictional world of 28 Years Later, it is not known whether Savile's crimes would have come to light, given the virus took over the UK in 2002, 10 years before they were uncovered in real life. Viewers were left completely shocked by the 'weird' reference with many taking to social media to share their confusion over the ending, arguing the reference to Savile wasn't necessary. Taking to X, they wrote: 'Just realised that Jack O'Connells character in 28 Years Later could be a nod to Jimmy Savile'; 'Seriously don't get that last minute whatsoever weirdest tone shift ever'; '28 years it really need the Jimmy Savile angle?'; 'Watched 28 years later last night and I can't believe they had a character called Jimmy who dressed exactly like Jimmy Savile'; 'Just seen 28 Years Later. Is 'Jimmy' and gang modelling themselves on Jimmy Savile?!' Not referencing Savile, other fans took to social media to general share their baffled thoughts after the movie jarringly transitioned from an emotional death scene to Sir Jimmy and his clan - before abruptly ending. Comments included: 'I really liked 28 years later!! I think it adds more to the franchise but damn that ending fell flat!'; 'After telling my wife about 28 Years Later I think I've warmed to the ending a little'; 28 Years Later ending got me all like huh?; 'The ending of 28 years later is so stupid, they could never make me hate it'; 'Just watched 28 years later and holy!! Was so good (except for the ending lowkey bonkers)'; 'Watched 28 years later and it was as mostly good but the ending gave me incredibly weird vibes'; 'The ending of 28 Years Later kind of justifies seeing it in theaters, solely to hear the reactions of the audience. Did not see that coming at all, and I honestly kind of loved it, as jarring as it was.' According to Business Insider, director Danny confirmed the rumours that Savile was the inspiration behind Jack's character. 'He's as much to do with pop culture as he is to do with sportswear, to do with cricket, to do with the honors system,' he allegedly told the publication of Savile. With plenty of jump scares and gore, it provides fans with the long-awaited update about the state of the world 28 years after the outbreak that hit the UK in the 2002 original 28 Days Later 'It's all kind of twisting in this partial remembrance, clinging onto things and then recreating them as an image for followers.' The unexpected cliffhanger ending will no doubt be addressed in the upcoming fourth movie, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, as Jack is set to return as Sir Jimmy. It is believed that the character will be involved in a plot surrounding selective memory in the upcoming sequel, which is slated to hit screens in January 2026. The fourth movie will look at how different groups try to construct a future based on their memories and 'amnesia' about the past. 'We are living in a time right now which is absolutely dominated by a misremembered past,' Alex added. The first movie of the series, 28 Days Later, followed Jim (Cillian Murphy), who awakes from a coma to discover Britain has been plagued by a terrible pandemic known as the Rage Virus, which turns those affected into murderous zombies. He didn't star in the second instalment 28 Weeks Later and isn't in the third newly-released movie 28 Years Later, Cillian will make a brief appearance in the upcoming fourth instalment. 28 YEARS LATER: THE REVIEWS The Daily Mail (FIVE STARS) Rating: With the terrifying and electrifying 28 Years Later, director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland have delivered the best post-apocalyptic horror-thrill I have ever seen. The Times (FIVE STARS) Rating: Jodie Comer is impressive as always in the latest instalment of the post-apocalyptic series The Telegraph (FIVE STARS) Rating: This transfixingly nasty zombie horror sequel, starring Jodie Comer and Ralph Fiennes, is Danny Boyle's best film in 15 years The Evening Standard (FIVE STARS) Rating: Jodie Comer, young Alfie Williams and Ralph Fiennes have a monsters' ball in this supercharged third outing for the 28 Days Later series BBC Culture (FOUR STARS) Rating: Alex Garland and Danny Boyle have reunited for a follow-up to their 2002 classic. It has visual flair, terrifying adversaries and scene-stealing performance from Ralph Fiennes. Empire (FOUR STARS) Rating: The sequel we needed is both the film you expect, and the one you don't. There's blood, but also real guts and brain and heart - visceral cinema soaked in viscera. The Guardian (THREE STARS) This tonally uncertain revival mixes folk horror and little-England satire as an island lad seeks help for his sick mum on the undead-infested mainland. The Independent (THREE STARS)

EXCLUSIVE Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez have rented out ENTIRE Italian island for six days for their glamorous wedding
It's the luxurious, extravagant event that everyone's been waiting years for - and one that some people still can't believe is happening - the union of Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez. After a two-year-long engagement, the day is almost upon us, as the power couple are set to finally get married next week in Venice, Italy, in a summer extravaganza. The guest list is thought to have less than 200 people, with suspected guests including A-listers like Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom and even members of the Trump family. The Amazon boss has booked the Scuola Grande della Misericordia, one of the largest and grandest buildings in the historical center of Venice, as part of the multi-day-long extravaganza of celebrations. Up until now, little has been known about what may be dubbed as the wedding of the year - but a source in Italy has exclusively revealed to the Daily Mail all of the intimate details that you need to know. According to the insider, Bezos' $500 million superyacht, Koru, will be moored off the coast of San Georgio Maggiore island, which is home to the famous Basilica of San Giorgio Maggiore, a 16th century Benedictine church. They shared that the island is 'off-limits to visitors' from June 24 to June 29, with the mayor believing that the wedding will take place on the yacht - although The Misericodria, an iconic event space in Venice, has been boked out from June 26 to June 28. It's unclear if the space is related to their wedding, but the insider added that a private tender service is said to be taking guests from the island to the yacht. In addition to the private tenders, the source revealed that around 60 of Venice's water taxis are reserved for the week, with some of the 400 gondolas on the island out of commission as well. The insider also confirmed that Venice is expecting '200 guests who will stay at local hotels,' although it's unclear which ones. Some of the most expensive and high-end hotels in the Italian city include The Aman, where you can book a room for over $2,700 per night, and Hotel Cipriani, which goes for over $2,000 per night. Once their guests arrive, they will be treated to a few luxurious surprises, of course. The source confirmed to the Daily Mail that local bakery Rosa Salva Venetia will be providing pastries for the extravagant weekend. The delicious menu items at the bakery include tiramisu, flaky, cream-filled pastries, and fritelli, a traditional Italian fried treat. However, Rosa Salva Venetia will not be providing the wedding cake for the loved-up couple. The insider also confirmed that Venice is expecting '200 guests who will stay at local hotels,' although it's unclear which ones Our source claimed that a celebrity wedding planner, who is not working this event, has heard that guests will receive 'opulent' gifts just for attending the nuptials. And it looks like all of this opulence is thanks to Sanchez herself, as her hubby-to-be revealed in a 2023 Vogue interview that he wouldn't dare get involved with wedding planning. 'Oh, God, no. Do I look that dumb?' Bezos told the outlet when he was asked if he had a big part in the preparations. During the interview, the future Mrs. Bezos listed Christian Dior, Dolce & Gabbana, and Valentino as some of her favorite designers, but didn't share anything about which one will make her gown - or gowns, for that matter. Separate sources recently told the Daily Mail that the festivities are expected to cost anywhere from $15 to $20 million. Many things went into the estimate of the total cost, including transportation fees, her wedding dress and catering. While their wedding is rapidly approaching, a psychic who has accurately predicted a number of monumental world events told the Daily Mail earlier this week that believes the pair will be divorced by 2029. Athos Salomé, 38, from Brazil, is often referred to as the 'Living Nostradamus' due to his numerous accurate predictions - including his forecasting of the coronavirus pandemic, Queen Elizabeth II's death and the Microsoft global outage. The insider shared that the island is 'off-limits to visitors' from June 24 to June 29, with the mayor believing that the wedding will take place on Jeff's yacht (stock image) He said that their wedding will go forward as planned, he believes their 'motivations' are 'far from romantic love.' 'The marriage is more of a contract for image, power and legacy perpetuation than a celebration of affection,' Salomé told the Daily Mail. 'Lauren embodies the archetype of the idealized woman in Bezos' new public phase. The union will last for a while, but it is not eternal,' he continued. The clairvoyant revealed that he's 'certain' their marriage has an 'end' - and claimed that it will be between 2028 and 2029, if not sooner. 'It will be a clean divorce, without scandal. A meticulously planned separation, protected by confidentiality clauses and image strategies,' he explained.

Love Island shock as couple SPLIT after explosive game – and Harry tries to pull THIRD girl in the villa
LOVE Island's Helena and Harry leave the villa in shock tonight as they SPLIT after an explosive game - before Harry tries to pull a THIRD girl in the villa. Tensions reach boiling point after the Look Who's Talking game, which exposes brutal opinions and hidden feelings among the Islanders. 4 Still reeling from what she heard, Helena tells the girls: 'I'm so done, all he's done is embarrass me.' Meanwhile, Harry defends his actions, claiming: 'We both said we were open to exploring new connections.' But Helena isn't convinced, telling him: 'Not for taking someone to the Hideaway, necking them three times and then saying 'I should have picked you.' "It's the same sht, every f**ing time… I hope it does go somewhere, hope it was worth it for you.' The split sends shockwaves through the villa - especially as Harry is seen attempting to pursue a third connection just hours later. Elsewhere, Meg warns Dejon not to follow in Harry's footsteps after the evening's drama, saying: 'If you go in Harry's footsteps you know we'll be over, I'm not gonna be Helena, you're not getting away with it.' In the garden, Toni and Yasmin also reflect on the boys' behaviour, with Yasmin saying: 'They'll go back to them… I'm so over it… I'm so sick of always being the one to take the heat…' Tensions are also high between Shakira and Ben as the couple attempt to talk through what was said during the game. Shakira says: 'I never wanted that comment to come out in a situation like this,' before walking away from the conversation. Ben later says: 'You don't even care, I'm getting nothing out of you…' Watch as Love Island's Harry and Yasmin's share passionate secret snog behind Helena's back with lip-biting and neck scratching Viewers previously begged Helena to stop being a "doormat" and dump Harry for good. Last night, Harry's womanising ways were exposed in a brutal game as he finally admitted to snogging Yasmin in the Hideaway. Earlier that day, the pair enjoyed a cosy chat in the private area and kissed THREE times. But despite their snog, neither Harry nor Yasmin admitted to it when they returned from the Hideaway. That was until their actions were exposed in a brutal firepit game on Thursday night. Helena was left in shock as Yasmin revealed they'd kissed not once, but three times. And while Harry smirked, the stunning air hostess was backed by co-star Megan. 'You're a liar,' Megan shouted across the firepit to Harry, adding: 'You owe it to Helena to be f****** honest, you p****. 'She's sat there watching you go into the Hideaway, you kissed her three times and then come out and go 'Oh no, I didn't do anything.'' Meg finished by telling Harry: 'Grow a pair of b******* mate, honestly, grow the f*** up.' After her sweary rant at the scandalous star, Helena got up and stormed off from the group as Remell said: 'I think we should wrap it up here.' While Helena could be seen storming off as Harry showed no sign of remorse. Fans soon rushed to X, formerly Twitter, with one writing: "Helena is like a doormat Love Island." A second posted: "Helena is a weak babe, she needs to bump Harry." "Helena needs to move on and have some self respect," a third said.
