Orlando Bloom moves into £13m bachelor pad ‘which screams I'm filthy rich & single' after Katy Perry split
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ORLANDO Bloom hasn't wasted any time moving on from Katy Perry. My insiders tell me the Pirates Of The Caribbean actor has relocated to Miami for a fresh start and is renting out a seaside pad worth £13million. 6 Orlando Bloom has moved into £13m bachelor pad 'which screams I'm filthy rich & single' Credit: AP 'Orlando's new house screams, 'I'm filthy rich and single',' my mole said. 'The house is a proper bachelor pad and perfect for parties and entertaining. 'Orlando is surrounded by other famous people, too. Kourtney Kardashian and her husband Travis Barker live just down the road, as well as Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis. Kevin Costner lives on the same street, too. 'It's right on the beach and Orlando has been seen there loads in the past few weeks. He seems to be settling right in and has already made friends with his direct neighbours.' READ MORE ON ORLANDO BLOOM PARENTING DEBATE Orlando Bloom blasted as an 'idiot' for 'inappropriate' snap of Daisy, 4 Orlando and Katy announced their split last month after nine years together, with insiders revealing the Roar singer told friends it was over in January. But unlike most celebrity break-ups, which nearly always end up being very messy and very public, Katy and Orlando have been working hard to buck that trend. Since their split, they've even been seen on holiday together, with those close to them telling me they were keen to keep a strong family unit for their daughter Daisy Dove. And it's not just behind the scenes that the pair are making sure their new way of life is all sweetness and light. Orlando appeared to be the first person to have a chuckle when an AI photograph of him having dinner with former German politician Angela Merkel went viral earlier this month. Someone created the snap to poke fun at the pictures of Katy and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau having a cosy dinner in Montreal last month. Heartbroken Katy Perry told pals in January that Orlando Bloom relationship was OVER - as star removes engagement ring Two days after the pictures of Katy and Justin went online — he was spotted at her concert in Montreal with his daughter. And it was later claimed the pair had been 'texting non-stop' back in July but those close to Katy have said this had cooled off now. An insider added: 'They're both busy people — who knows what could happen in the future?' 6 Orlando and Katy announced their split last month after nine years together Credit: Splash The post about Orlando and Angela was reshared endlessly, with a caption that read: 'Just weeks after announcing his split with fiancee Katy Perry, English actor Orlando Bloom was photographed Friday dining with former German Chancellor Angela Merkel. 'Angela kept Orlando laughing all night — he couldn't keep his eyes off her.' Orlando posted three clapping hand emojis underneath the post, with a pal adding: 'He found it hilarious.' If these two can keep this up, they'll end up as the next Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow. JUSTIN DUPE DYLAN EXPOSED BY UNBELIEBABLE DANCING A JUSTIN BIEBER lookalike duped a Las Vegas nightspot into believing he was the real deal. The imposter, Frenchman Dylan Desclos, got up on stage at the XS Nightclub in Sin City and performed for revellers who also fell for the prankster. Dylan has now been banned from any hotel or club owned by Wynn Resorts. A company spokesman said: 'As soon as the error was recognised, he was removed from the resort and denied future entry.' After checking out Dylan's social media, it's easy to see why people thought he was the famous US singer – he looks pretty much identical. Justin's model wife Hailey has even previously said how similar they look. The only thing I clocked when I checked out the videos of that night though is that Justin can dance . . . and Dylan definitely can't. Have a look at the clips doing the rounds on social media if you fancy a laugh. KISSCAM IS STILL IN PLAY THAT brilliant Coldplay kiss-cam is the gift that keeps on giving – and Chris Martin was the first to poke fun at the scandal when the group played the first of their two sold out shows in Hull. At the sold out Craven Park stadium, Chris started to read signs – including one which read: 'Three times in three months.' 6 Chris Martin joked about the kiss-scam scandal at Coldplay's sold out show in Hull Credit: Getty 6 Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot on the kiss-cam which exposed their affair Chris said: 'You were at that Boston gig? Thank you for coming again after that debacle.' At that gig the kiss-cam footage of work colleagues Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot went viral as it exposed their affair. As the kiss-cam moved around the Hull stadium, Chris added: ' We have been doing this a long time and it is only recently that it became a… 'Life throws you lemons and you've got to make lemonade. So, we are going to keep doing it.' The band are in the third year of their Music Of Spheres world tour. To date they have sold 12 million tickets – making it the highest attended rock concert in music history. Coldplay will wrap up their epic run with a ten-night residency at London's Wembley Stadium. I first revealed Chris and co were booking in for the shows last June, with the band confirming my story just weeks later. If you've got a ticket you are in for a massive treat. I first watched this show back in 2023 and it absolutely blew me away. DOECHII has pulled out of three European festivals this week – All Points East in London and Forwards in Bristol, where she was due to sing this weekend, and tomorrow's Rock En Seine in France. It appears her PR team have tried to smooth things over, as all three festivals released near-identical statements – describing the US rapper as an 'incredible artist'. But on social media, punters who had tickets aren't feeling quite as kind as they berate her last-minute cancellation. DAD WARY OF PERRIE OX DATE PERRIE EDWARDS' family were furious when she started dating ex-England midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, because they were convinced all footballers were love rats. The LITTLE MIX star, who had split from Zayn Malik 18 months before they got together in 2017, recalled: 'My dad rang me and he went, 'You've just dated a boyband member who's completely shattered your soul and now you're going for a footballer.' 'And I was like, 'He's not like the other footballers, dad. He's really nice'. 'And he was like, 'Oh, yeah, great. I bet he is'.' On the We Need To Talk podcast she added: 'We just had this impression of footballers as cheaters. But then I met him and I was like, but he's so sweet and so genuine.' Mum's the word, Dua 6 Dua Lipa stuns on the cover of Harper's Bazaar Credit: Courtesy of Harper's Bazaar/Anthony Seklaoui 6 Dua Lipa opened up about having kids with fiance Callum Credit: Courtesy of Harper's Bazaar/Anthony Seklaoui DUA Lipa has landed the cover of Harper's Bazaar UK's Icons issue, and is celebrated in the issue alongside celebs including Kate Moss. On sale from September 4, Dua chatted about having kids with fiance Callum Turner. She said: 'I'd love to have kids one day. But it's like the question of when would there ever be a good time and how much I'd have to take. 'I love kids, but there's so much more to raising a child than just loving children.' Dua is 30 on Friday but after her wild two weeks in Ibiza, she may just need a lie down. MICHELLE BECOMES MUM TO 4 BROKEBACK Mountain actress Michelle Williams has become a mum for a fourth time after having a baby via surrogate. The Hollywood star already has a teenage daughter, Matilda, from her relationship with the late Heath Ledger but now has three youngsters too. Michelle, who is married to Thomas Kail, was on US television when she revealed the news and praised her surrogate, a woman named Christine. She said: 'I've got to give a big shout out to Christine, 'cause this last baby did not come through my body. 'But the miracle of our little girl is thanks to Christine. Maybe you're watching out there; thank you, Christine. 'Thanks to Christine, I have three under five at home.' FLORENCE + THE MACHINE announced their sixth album, Everybody Scream, which will be released on Halloween. And Norwegian pop powerhouse Sigrid has said that her third album, There's Always More That I Could Say, will be out a week earlier, on October 24. It will feature her new single Fort Knox, which debuted on Radio 1 last night.
