EXCLUSIVE Katy Perry's secret hurt as Orlando Bloom behaves like 'acting-out adolescent'
Weeks after Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom called it quits, he was spotted with a bevy of beauties, while she fought back tears thousands of miles away onstage in Australia. The British heartthrob, 48, has seemingly been embracing his newfound bachelor status with a week of partying in Italy, including a wild weekend at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez 's wedding, followed by a star-studded bash onboard a yacht. A disappointed Perry, 40, has been left hurt by his actions since the break up with an insider since telling the Daily Mail how the mom-of-one really feels. 'It's disappointing,' said a source close to Perry, who is currently on her Lifetimes world tour. 'It's hurtful and annoying. If he's going to behave like an acting-up adolescent, that's on him. She's going to continue to work and take care of Daisy.' 'Katy knows that he's free to do whatever the hell he wants to do, she hoped he'd do it a little more discreetly and thoughtfully,' the source continued. 'So she's disappointed and sad.' From a distance, Perry has seen the news coverage of her ex's behavior. He danced the night away as a guest on Bezos' swanky superyacht alongside 450 other VIPs including likes of Naomi Campbell, Kendall Jenner, Sofia Vergara and Heidi Klum. Then he was recently spotted chatting up Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti, during a water taxi ride as they headed to the airport following the Amazon founder's wedding this past weekend. Fresh from three days partying, Bloom then headed on board Ritz-Carlton's gleaming 794-ft Luminara for its inaugural cruise from Rome. But between parties, Bloom has shared cryptic posts on social media about his heartbreak The Lord Of The Rings star, 48, shared quotes from the late psychiatrist Carl Jung to his Instagram stories after the nine-year relationship ended. 'Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself,' he wrote. Reposting another quote, Orlando alluded to the darker sides of his life. The quote read: 'Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.' He followed that up by sharing a quote from Gautama Buddha to his seven million followers. 'Each day is a new beginning,' he wrote, 'What we do today is what matters most.' But the Perry insider scoffs at the inspirational quotes and says that the singer believes he is merely managing his public persona. 'He's smart enough to know that the partying is not a good look,' the source grouses. 'But all the quotes in the world from famous philosophers and religious leaders can't change the fact that he's out there doing what he's doing.' When the split was revealed, a source told Us Weekly: 'Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable,' while also adding that the separation has been 'not contentious' thus far. 'Katy is of course upset but is relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life.' Reps for Bloom and Perry did not return the Daily Mail's request for comment. The Teenage Dream hitmaker was previously married to Russell Brand from 2010 until their divorce in 2012. Despite Bloom's behavior, Perry's friend says that she is striving to take the split in stride. 'She wishes him all the best,' says the source, 'She just wants to move forward.'

I went on the bucket-list Intrepid tour with world-famous beaches, legendary football and 80p cocktails
'I CAN'T dance . . . I'm English,' I insisted in my woeful Spanish. Milandra wasn't taking no for an answer, though, and forced me to my feet. 8 8 Before I knew what was happening, she and I were locked in a tight embrace, spinning around the dance floor. I usually avoid dancing in public, but in Buenos Aires, the tango is so culturally important, I felt it would be rude not to try. So I'd paid a visit to one of the city's milongas — ramshackle dance clubs found throughout the Argentine capital — where dance enthusiasts assemble every night to cut a rug with one another. I just hoped the locals wouldn't be too offended by what was essentially an act of desecration on my part, as I clumsily stumbled around the room, trying my best to stay on my feet while not crushing Milandra's. They say it takes two to tango, but really, she was the only one contributing to our performance. I was merely there — a practice dummy, as useful and as graceful as a big sack of sugar, but still, somehow, absolutely thrilled to be a part of it. That's the overriding emotion of South America — sheer and simple joy. I walked around in persistant child-like wonder, gawping idiotically at everything I found myself immersed in. Nowhere else was that more prevalent than Iguazu Falls, the centrepiece of Intrepid's seven-day Best of Argentina and Brazil tour that starts in Buenos Aires and ends in Rio de Janeiro, via a two-day trip to the most breath-taking natural park I have ever visited. In places like this, guides will lower expectations by explaining that they 'can't promise anything' when it comes to which wildlife will make an appearance. Outside of New York City I found vineyards, breweries and a race track They needn't be so cagey in Iguazu, with the sprawling stretch of jungle that saddles the border between the two countries packed with a gloriously diverse wealth of creatures. Toucans and parrots flew overhead, capybaras relaxed in the cooling waters of the Iguazu River and mischievous coati, a relative of the raccoon, flocked to picnic areas to fight over tourists ' dropped scraps. All of this, and so much more, plays out in front of the most awe-inspiring backdrop, the falls, which were officially declared one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature in 2011. 'Thrilling ambience' Rickety walkways offer vantage points to view most of the landmark's astounding angles, although guests can also take helicopter rides overhead, as well as a boat ride that is slightly more extreme than its name suggests. My fellow sailors and I were tossed about in our seats as our high-powered vessel first took on a barrage of rapids, before the skilled driver zipped in and out of some of the falls' more powerful sections, completely drenching each of us to the bone. I can't remember ever being quite so soaked, but the cool waters of the aggressive power shower were very refreshing in the 38C heat. It also enabled me to gain a truer appreciation of the force of nature I had been lucky enough to spend two exhilarating days exploring. Luckily, the opportunity to relax was provided at my final stop, Rio, where the locals on the famous Copacabana beach go out of their way to prevent you from having to do anything at all. After renting a chair for the day for just £2, I was approached by a steady stream of men with barbecues offering to cook enormous prawns, grilled cheeses or various meats without me ever needing to move from my spot. 8 8 Even more pleasing was the constant flow of vendors serving refreshing caipirinhas, the Brazilian's cocktail of choice — a dangerously drinkable mix of sugar, limes and cachaca, a local spirit made from fermented sugar cane that has the strength of a Long Island iced tea masked by the sweetness of a can of Lilt. They're not just found by the beach, either. In fact, they're sold from stalls throughout the city and range in price from 80p to around £3, according to the extensive research that I selflessly conducted. They're even sold at the city's tourist spots, with bars found on top of Sugarloaf Mountain, which offers stunning views over the city's beaches and coruscating favelas, as well as the Selaron Steps — 215 stairs colourfully decorated with tiles by Chilean artist Jorge Selaron that connect the city centre with the flamboyantly graffitied Santa Teresa neighbourhood. Perilous perch The main sight to see is the Christ The Redeemer statue, which has stood atop Mount Corcovado since 1931. It's an impressive monument to behold, particularly up close, where the craftsmanship that went into carving Jesus' face almost 100 years ago can be truly admired. From its perilous perch, tourists can pick out other famous sights, including the stage where most of Rio's carnival celebrations take place, and the Maracana stadium, where the Brazilian national football team and Flamengo play. South American fans are considered to be among the more rambunctious, so, keen to see what all the fuss was about, I got myself a ticket, with Intrepid's tours including matches as an optional extra. The streets surrounding the 78,000-seat arena were bursting with life from as much as two hours before kick-off, with barbecues, beer and, of course, caipirinhas all on offer, as Flamengo fans in their Dennis The Menace-esque black and red home shirts made their way to the ground. Once inside the legendary stadium, the noise and atmosphere only intensified, with samba beats being beaten loudly from drums, while pyrotechnics and giant flags enhanced the thrilling ambience. I did my best to sing along with the home fans, despite not knowing any Portuguese, and by the end I felt like an honorary member of their troop as we roared on Flamengo to a hard-fought 1-0 win. Then, as the fans filtered out afterwards, singing and dancing into the night, I ordered a final caipirinha and already began to feel a profound sense of longing for this truly magnificent part of the world before I'd even started packing for my flight home the next morning. Luckily, with trips like Intrepid's highlights tour, it's easy enough to plan another visit for the not-too-distant future. I just need to make sure I take a few tango lessons beforehand, so I can sweep Milandra off her feet next time, instead of almost standing all over them. 8 8 8 8

Annie Stainer obituary
The mime, clown and dancer Annie Stainer, who has died aged 79 of pneumonia, was best known for her solo work in the 1970s and 80s, and in particular for the three thematically linked mime and dance pieces that became known as the Annie Stainer trilogy. They all had a basis in myth, as well as themes of journey, life-cycles and seasons, change, and the archetypes of womanhood. The Legend of Lilith, devised in 1973, with Adam's 'first wife' as the central character, and based on the writings of William Blake and George MacDonald, was performed around the world, notably in the Cathedral of St John the Divine, in New York City. Moon (1975), a celebration of love, the phases of the moon and the gardener's year, was staged at many festivals, including the inaugural Cockpit festival of mime and physical theatre (now the London international mime festival) in 1977, and won an Edinburgh Fringe First award. Changing Woman, which debuted in Glasgow in 1984, evoked ancient mysteries, exploring the points of the compass and the four elements. These physically demanding works were performed together as a trilogy at the Perth festival, in Western Australia, in 1988. Annie also collaborated on significant ensemble works. She originated the role of Ernestine in Lindsay Kemp's acclaimed production Flowers (1974) and appeared as the ethereal Columbine alongside David Bowie in the 1970 film version of Kemp's improvised mime drama The Looking Glass Murders. Annie and Lindsay were part of Bowie's backing troupe for his 1972 concerts at the Rainbow theatre in London. Grainy black and white photos show Ziggy Stardust surrounded by spectral figures in gossamer unitards – Annie is easily distinguished by her waif-like figure and her trademark long, feathery hair. She worked with Emil Wolk at the Edinburgh festival on Don Quixote (1974) and in the Fringe First award-winning The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (1977), in which she embodied the Albatross. In 1982, Annie joined the Australian tour of Steven Berkoff's The Fall of the House of Usher, as the haunting Madeleine Usher. Berkoff said of Annie that she 'creates a theatre that goes beyond the commonplace and takes us into far deeper areas'. This tour was her first visit to Australia and the beginning of her love for the country, which eventually resulted in her settling there. Annie was born in Shaftesbury, Dorset and raised in Mere, Wiltshire, where her parents, Edna (nee Grey) and Ron Stainer, ran the local bakery. After leaving Shaftesbury grammar school, she studied French at the University of Warwick, where in 1967 she met her future husband Reg Bolton, a student of English and European literature. At childhood ballet classes, Annie had been reprimanded for her 'broken arms' – this physical attribute would later become a feature of her celebrated solo shows. She would appear to fly, by delicately and continuously undulating her arms as if they were remarkable wings. This skill for physical shapeshifting was strengthened by her studies in dance in 1968 at the London School of Contemporary Dance and in mime with Etienne Decroux in Paris (1970-71), and complemented by an innate talent for storytelling, which helped establish her as a spellbinding performer Her longest professional partnership was with Reg, whom she married in 1972 and with whom, in 1974 in Edinburgh, she created the Long Green children's theatre company. Its shows included Suitcase Circus (1983), which they took on tour to more than 20 countries, accompanied by their children, Joe and Sophie. This took them back to Australia, where both Annie and Reg were invited to join the teaching staff of the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA) in 1985. The family settled in Perth, and for six years, Annie was head of movement in the theatre department at WAAPA. In 2002, Annie established the Total Theatre school of physical theatre, at the Camelot theatre in Perth, which fused theatre, dance, cabaret and circus in sprawling original and subversive works. Labyrinth: A Cosmic Comedy drew on sources as wide-ranging as Italo Calvino, Angela Carter and Agatha Christie. Kindly Leave the Stage asked students to recreate famous vaudeville acts. Il Milione: The Travels of Marco Polo depicted a chaotic journey along the Silk Road. Total Theatre also branched out into children's and street theatre, tackling (and upending) well-known tales such as Cinderella, Noah's Ark and Aladdin. In her final few weeks in hospital, Annie was planning her next production (a time-travelling love letter to Shakespeare), and made sure that any doctors and nurses she encountered knew it was scheduled for 2026. Reg died in 2006. Annie is survived by her children and four grandchildren. Annie Stainer, mime, clown and dancer, born 29 September 1945; died 31 May 2025
