Newly single Katy Perry enjoys intimate dinner with former Canadian Prime Minister during world tour break
Perry, 40, was spotted enjoying some time with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in new footage obtained by TMZ.
The "Teenage Dream" singer and politician were seen dining together Monday at Le Violon in Montreal, Canada.
An eyewitness told the outlet that the pair enjoyed cocktails and shared several dishes together, including one with lobster.
Security guards reportedly watched the duo while they dined, and after dinner, they allegedly walked into the kitchen to thank the staff for their meal.
The dinner date comes amid a break in Perry's world tour and her recent split from actor Orlando Bloom.
Trudeau and his ex-wife Sophie separated in 2023 after an 18-year marriage.
Perry and her former fiancé confirmed their break-up earlier this month after more than a decade together.
"Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting," representatives confirmed to Us Weekly.
"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."
The former couple share daughter Daisy Dove, 5.
Bloom and Perry previously ended their relationship, but reconnected in 2016. The "Firework" singer opened up about why they needed time apart in an interview with People magazine.
"It's really about an individual journey that makes the whole thing better" she said. "We both had to decide to go on that journey separately because it's not my half and your half that makes a whole. It's my wholeness and your wholeness that makes this whole thing happen."
While promoting her new album at the time, she admitted that they had been through "hell" to save their relationship.
"For us, and you can hear that even in 'Champagne Problems,' which is a song on the record, you can hear that we're not flaunting how in love we are," she said, according to Us Weekly.
"We have been through f--king hell. We have been down to the mat and come back up again so far, and that's even what the song 'Witness' was about: 'If I lost it all today, would you stay? Could you go down with me to the mat and come back up?'"

Love Island JaNa Craig's BFF Gives Insight Into Her Shock Split From Kenny Rodriguez
It comes after JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez shared separate statements about their breakup, with JaNa calling the breakup reason "terrible, disgusting and disappointing." Love Island USA's JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez have gone their separate ways, and it's not looking like a civil breakup. The development comes as a friend of JaNa's, Charmane Smith, shared a warning to her Instagram Stories late Tuesday night, as reported by TMZ, where she warns other women to check their partner's phones, giving possible insight into why the pair broke up. "Never spare a man… Dog them out babygirl," she wrote just hours after JaNa posted her own statement on Instagram about the surprising breakup with her fellow Season 6 contestant. Charmane's post continued: "My advice for women in relationships: if you have access -- go thru [sic] your man's phone TODAY. Search keywords like 'I don't like black women, I thought I would get more money from this, I'm faking this relationship, going on the show would be for clout, I can't wait to be done w this so I can f--k hella b--ches.'" She ended the post with, "You'll thank me later," before switching her account to private. The savage post comes just hours after JaNa, 28, took to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, July 29, to share a statement addressed to her followers. "Thank you for all your love & support. It means the world to me," she began. "As you know, Kenny and I are no longer together. Please know that I have seen all the breakup theories and none have matched up to how terrible, disgusting and disappointing it truly is." "Discovering that someone you loved isn't who you thought they were and that the relationship you thought you were building hasn't been genuine since day one has been truly devastating," JaNa continued. "Thank you for respecting my privacy and please know as a child of God, I will always be okay." Kenny also shared a statement on their breakup admitting that "past few days have been incredibly difficult." "I've been quietly sitting with a lot of emotions and doing my best to process everything privately," he wrote. "Breakups are never easy, especially in the public eye. Sometimes, despite how deeply you care for someone, you come to the hard truth that the relationship was not something that could last long-term." He concluded by saying: "I'll always be grateful for the time we shared and the memories we created. I release this chapter with no ill will, only a hope that JaNa's path forward brings her nothing but happiness." However, JaNa did not sit back and accept this statement from her ex, calling him out on her stories and giving him her own warning. She wrote: "stfu you manipulative liar. You are not taking accountability and telling people the type of person you really are is insane to me!!" She added: "My first statement was me being nice. Do not piss me off" Others have also come out in support of JaNa. Her sister Naja reshared JaNa's statement on her own Instagram and added that Kenny "fumbled the baddest he'll eva [sic] haveee on mamassss." The breakup happened after the pair were spotted at David Dobrik's birthday party on Saturday, July 26, which they attended together. Footage of the pair at the event has been shared online showing them looking happy before the shock split. Solve the daily Crossword

Hinterland Who's Who Wins Prestigious Telly Award
OTTAWA, Ontario, July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Canadian Wildlife Federation (CWF) is thrilled to announce that the Hinterland Who's Who (HWW) video on the Round-leaved Sundew, produced by SandBay Entertainment, has won a 2025 Telly Award in the Branded Content – Nature & Wildlife category. 'This recognition places HWW in the company of some of the world's most respected content creators,' said Sean Southey, CEO of the CWF, which co-sponsors the HWW program with Environment and Climate Change Canada. 'It's incredibly gratifying to see our commitment to celebrating Canada's biodiversity reflected on a global stage.' The Telly Awards is an international competition celebrating excellence in video and television. This year, the program received over 13,000 entries from six continents, making this win a significant honour for the iconic Canadian wildlife series. The Public Service Announcement (PSA) explores the Round-leaved sundew, a carnivorous plant native to Canadian wetlands, highlighting its unique adaptations and vital ecological role. 'The Hinterland Who's Who series has long been a cherished part of Canada's conservation story,' said The Honourable Julie Dabrusin, Minister of Environment and Climate Change. 'This PSA is a beautiful reminder of the importance of protecting Canada's wetlands and the extraordinary life they sustain. I applaud the Canadian Wildlife Federation and SandBay Entertainment for their dedication to inspiring environmental awareness through storytelling.' With vivid visuals and engaging narration, the PSA continues Hinterland Who's Who's tradition of making wildlife education accessible, compelling, and deeply Canadian, said Annie Langlois, Hinterland Who's Who co-ordinator. 'We're proud to shine a spotlight on plants like the Round-leaved Sundew, which are just as important to wetland ecosystems as the wildlife we more often notice. This little-known species is a fascinating example of Canada's natural diversity. Awards like this help amplify their story and their value.' The Round-leaved Sundew is usually found in and around peatlands and wet meadows. The sundew has adapted to live in this nutrient-poor environment by consuming tiny creatures to supplement its diet. The video was filmed in the Ottawa area. 'We are so proud of this award,' said Amanda Barakat, Producer at SandBay Entertainment. 'The Round-leaved Sundew may be small, but it's mighty and this story really resonated with audiences. We're honoured the Telly Awards jury recognized the beauty, mystery and value of Canada's lesser-known species.' The Canadian Wildlife Federation encourages broadcasters, educators, and the public to visit to access the videos, download fact sheets, and explore other educational resources. The newest HWW vignettes will feature the Pileated Woodpecker and the Saw-whet Owl, two iconic species of Canada's ecosystems. With breathtaking footage and accessible storytelling, these PSAs continue the series' mission to inspire awareness, understanding, and conservation action. This summer, HWW will be filming on the west coast in British Columbia. Featured species will be the Western Red Cedar, the Bald Eagle and the Green Banana Slug. For more information: media@ or Annie Langlois, Hinterland Who's Who Co-ordinator AnnieL@ Backgrounder Round-Leaved Sundew Found in bogs and wet meadows, the Round-leaved Sundew is an incredible wildflower which thrives in nutrient-poor environments by consuming small invertebrates it attracts using a sweet secretion on its leaves.

The new Hinterland Who's Who, launched in 2003, serves to rebuild the connection thousands of viewers made with wildlife through the original series and ensure that wildlife remains part of what it means to be Canadian. HWW is a joint program of the Canadian Wildlife Federation and Environment and Climate Change Canada. About the Canadian Wildlife Federation: The Canadian Wildlife Federation is a national, not-for-profit charitable organization dedicated to fostering awareness and appreciation of our natural world. By spreading knowledge of human impacts on the environment, carrying out research, developing and delivering education programs, promoting the sustainable use of natural resources, recommending changes to policy and co-operating with like-minded partners, CWF encourages a future in which Canadians can live in harmony with nature.

Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has dinner with singer Katy Perry in Montreal
Katy Perry People in entertainmentFacebookTweetLink Follow Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry had dinner together in Montreal this week. A communications consultant for the restaurant Le Violon confirmed Tuesday that the former prime minister and the singer spent about two hours at the fine-dining spot Monday evening. Photos of the meetup published by TMZ sparked speculation of a budding romance. Samantha Jin said the pair kept to themselves and neither the staff nor other patrons approached them for a photo. 'We kind of got the vibe that they were a little more chill,' she said. Jin added that there was no indication of romance in the air, noting: 'No visual signs of PDA or anything.' The report about the dinner first appeared on TMZ, which posted video of Trudeau and Perry in animated conversation at the eatery. Perry recently split from longtime partner Orlando Bloom and is on tour with stops including Ottawa on Tuesday, Montreal on Wednesday, Quebec City on Friday, and two dates in Toronto next week. Trudeau and his ex-wife Sophie Grégoire separated in 2023. During the meal, Jin said security watched from the bar as the pair noshed on a chef's menu featuring a range of appetizers including tuna, beef tartare, lobster and asparagus, with lamb as their main course. Jin said Chef Danny Smiles stopped by their table to say hello, and before heading out, they came into the kitchen to thank the team. A spokeswoman for Trudeau didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. A spokeswoman for Perry wasn't immediately available for comment. Trudeau announced his resignation earlier this year after nearly a decade in power. His father, late Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, was a bachelor when he became prime minister. He dated actresses Barbra Streisand and Kim Cattrall and married a 22-year-old woman while in office at age 51. Born and raised in California, Perry is a 13-time Grammy Award nominee. She helped usher in the sound of '00s pop, quickly becoming one of the bestselling artists of all time for her campy, big, belting anthems. She has released seven studio albums, most notably 2010's sugar-sweet 'Teenage Dream.' The album produced five No. 1s that tied a record set by Michael Jackson's 1987 album 'Bad.'
