Daily Mail​6 hours ago

Katy Perry has once again been spotted without her engagement ring as split speculation between the pop star and fiancé Orlando Bloom continues to swirl.
The Roar hitmaker, 40, is currently Down Under on her Australian tour, and was recently joined by Orlando, 48, and their daughter Daisy Dove, four.
Despite the family reunion, Katy was without her eye catching floral inspired ruby engagement ring in her latest Instagram post.
Katy shared a photo on Monday that showed her standing in front of Perth 's RAC arena.
The singer looked almost unrecognisable in a grey hooded jumper which she wore under a beige overcoat.

With the hood pulled up over he raven locks, Katy kept the incognito theme doing with a pair of dark sunglasses.
She was also seen clutching a cup of coffee in her left hand, with her engagement ring conspicuously absent.
Daily Australia has reached out to Katy Perry for comment.
While Katy doesn't always wear the ring Orlando proposed to her with in 2019, it's absence was intriguing given the fresh scrutiny into her relationship.
Katy's ring hand was noticeably bare during a visit to Luna Park in Sydney earlier this month with her four-year-old daughter Daisy, whom she shares with Orlando.
The Hot N Cold singer was also spotted sans engagement ring during a recent night out in Melbourne.
The couple have been at the centre of rife speculation during Katy's tour of Australia, and the pop star fuelled rumours even more after making a recent telling comment onstage.
The American singer was performing the third of her Sydney concerts when she was handed a packet of Tim Tam chocolate biscuits.
She was in the middle of her performance of her 2008 heartbreak anthem I'm Still Breathing when she opened the packet and ate one of the treats.
'This song is about a breakup, and this Tim Tam saved me,' she told the crowd during the brief interlude.
'Thank you,' she added, before launching back into the track while kneeling down and offering the biscuits to audience members in the front row.
It comes after reports that Katy and Orlando are set to have serious conversations about the state of their relationship.
From her controversial Blue Origin space flight to her absence from their Montecito, California, home due to her world tour – things have been a bit rough for the long-time couple lately.
And while rumours may be circulating about the demise of their nearly decade-long relationship, an insider told The Sun: 'no one has decided it's definitely the end of the road for Katy and Orlando.'
'They both love each other, but they have been living different lives for at least a year and in different mindsets,' a source told the publication.
'But Katy especially doesn't want to just give up,' the source continued.
Katy has been in Australia for the entire month of June, with the last performance of her Lifetimes Tour Down Under on June 30 in Adelaide.
Her tour has caused the 'biggest disruption' in her home life with the Lord of the Rings star.
The source said: 'Katy and Orlando have been disconnected for a while now, and with their work commitments have been living separate lives.
'She has mentioned jetting back from Australia to spend time with Orlando, Daisy, her sister Angela and her kids.
'They have barely been together for a decent amount of time, without distractions, for many, many months.
'It has been "go, go, go" and they thrived when they enjoyed a more settled life, being together in the same place for a length of time. But that has just not happened.'
Additionally, Orlando wasn't in favour of Katy's Blue Origin space flight.
However, in spite of their disagreements and obstacles, the source insisted it isn't all over for the couple.
'It is quite a lot more complicated than that. They have been apart for their longest amount of time since they have been together,' they said.
'But there is still a huge amount of love between them, and there is still hope that they can ride out this rough patch.
'Anyone in long-term relationships goes through challenges, and many times when things appear to be done, couples reconnect and make things work.'
Despite recent tensions, the source remains optimistic: 'The type of people they are, there still remains a lot of hope. Katy has never been happier in her life than with Orlando.'
'If this reunion can revive those times, then they could come through this.'
Katy also sparked fresh split rumours this week after quietly renting out the home where she and Orlando had vowed to raise their daughter, DailyMail.com exclusively revealed.
She has handed the keys of the $30million mansion in Montecito, California to actor Chris Pratt – raising fresh questions about the state of her relationship.
Sources tell DailyMail.com, that Chris 46, and his author wife Katherine Schwarzenegger, 35, recently moved into the sprawling estate on a short-term basis while they build a new mansion.
'The arrangement suits Chris, but it's a bit of a surprise given how Katy fought tooth and nail to get her hands on the house,' a source revealed.
'She [Katy] previously suggested it was the ideal place for her and Orlando to raise a family. After all that time, energy and money, it seems unthinkable that they are not going to live in it.'

New prize for translated poetry aims to tap into boom for international-language writing

A new poetry prize for collections translated into English is opening for entries next month. Publishers Fitzcarraldo Editions, Giramondo Publishing and New Directions have launched the biennial Poetry in Translation prize, which will award an advance of $5,000 (£3,700) to be shared equally between poet and translator. The winning collection will be published in the UK and Ireland by Fitzcarraldo Editions, in Australia and New Zealand by Giramondo and in North America by New Directions. 'We wanted to open our doors to new poetry in translation to give space and gain exposure to poetries we may not be aware of,' said Fitzcarraldo poetry editor Rachael Allen. 'There is no other prize like this that we know.' The prize announcement comes amid a sales boom in translated fiction in the UK. Joely Day, Allen's co-editor at Fitzcarraldo, believes that 'the space the work of translators has opened up in the reading lives of English speakers through the success of fiction in translation will also extend to poetry'. Translated work is a focus of the three publishers behind the prize. Fitzcarraldo has published translated works by Nobel prize winners Olga Tokarczuk, Jon Fosse and Annie Ernaux. 'Our prose lists have always maintained a roughly equitable balance between English-language and translation, and some of our greatest successes have been books in translation,' said Day. 'We'd like to bring the same diversity of voices to our poetry publishing, and this prize will be a step in that direction.' Sign up to Bookmarks Discover new books and learn more about your favourite authors with our expert reviews, interviews and news stories. Literary delights delivered direct to you after newsletter promotion The prize is open to living poets from around the world, writing in any language other than English. The prize is being launched to find works 'which are formally innovative, which feel new, which have a strong and distinctive voice, which surprise and energise and move us,' said Day. 'My personal hope is that the prize reaches fledgling or aspiring translators and provides an opening for them, that it enables translators of poetry in particular to find a platform and encourages translators who want to work with poetry to do so.' Submissions will be open from 15 July to 15 August. A shortlist will be announced later this year, with the winner announced in January 2026 and publication of the winning collection scheduled for 2027. The 'unique' award 'brings poetry from around the world into English, and foregrounds the essential role of translation in our literature,' said Nick Tapper, associate publisher at Giramondo. 'Its global outlook will bring new readers to poets whose work deserves wide and sustained attention.'
