Katy Perry's very telling post after split from Orlando Bloom while he attends Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos' wedding - as his secret trip to Aussie island is revealed
Katy Perry uploaded a very telling post on Friday as she shared a glimpse into her 'life purpose' following her split from Orlando Bloom. The US pop star, 40, re-shared a video to her Instagram Stories from a content creator who teaches followers the 'Laws of the Universe' to help them 'heal your life'. She claimed a person's purpose in life is determined by the phase of the moon on the day of their birth, with Katy indicating her purpose is to start 'new chapters'. 'The phase of the moon that was during your date of birth determines your purpose,' the video explained. According to Katy's birthday, October 25, 1984, she was born on a waning crescent. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'If you were born on a waning crescent, you are here to complete the mission that you feel,' the clip claimed. 'You are ending things that no longer serve the collective. You are setting the new stone for new chapters. You are here to save people.' Meanwhile, Orlando Bloom enjoyed a frisky night with a mystery woman at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez 's lavish pre-wedding party in Italy on Thursday. The newly minted bachelor, 48, was spotted leaving the Madonna dell Orto cloisters with a glamorous brunette after guests were forced to end the night early following a freak thunderstorm in Venice. Orlando and other guests had to brave the heavy rainfall as the party's VIPs exited the historic venue to catch a boat ride back to the luxurious five-star Aman Hotel. But the weather certainly didn't dampen his spirits as he piled into a water taxi with several ladies, including a striking woman in a glitzy green dress. Once inside the boat, Bloom was caught wrapping his arm around her as they laughed together in their seats. Orlando arrived in Venice, Italy on Wednesday afternoon, along with the likes of A-list wedding guests like Kim Kardashian, Tom Brady and Leonardo DiCaprio. He shared a kiss with Kim, 44 — who he once famously 'checked out' while at an event with Katy last year — as he caught up with her and her sister Khloe just before the festivities began. Orlando and Tom, who are among the wedding's most eligible bachelors, grabbed a water taxi together while heading to the pre-wedding soiree at Madonna dell Orto on Thursday. Also in attendance were Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Kris Jenner, Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner. The Amazon billionaire and his bride-to-be are said to have invited 200 people to their three-day Italian wedding. Jeff and Lauren are set to tie the knot on Friday, June 27 in Venice, Italy after a two-year engagement, though sources said they already secretly tied the knot weeks before. Orlando, 48, and Katy's split was confirmed by PEOPLE on Thursday after weeks of speculation. Neither have spoken publicly on the split reports. The couple first got together in 2016 before splitting up and getting back together in 2018. Orlando proposed to Katy in 2019 and they welcomed daughter Daisy Dove, now four, in August 2020. Rumours of 'tensions' between Katy and Orlando began to surface earlier this month. But another telling sign of their separation came when the Lord of the Rings star enjoyed a secret getaway to Kangaroo Island in Australia without her while she was Down Under for her tour. At the time, Katy was on tour in South Australia, but neither appeared to share videos or pictures together Down Under. In fact, Orlando enjoyed a solo trip to the nature reserve, soaking up some sun and sightseeing koalas as he shared selfies and videos of his adventure alone. It's likely he visited Katy - who has notably been spotted without her massive engagement rock of late - in Australia to spend time with their daughter Daisy. He was, at one point, seen walking about Perth's CBD with their tot while Katy performed her show. Now, as Katy continues her Lifetimes Tour Down Under, Orlando has jetted off to Venice, Italy, as a single man to attend Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's nuptials. The newly-minted bachelor was seen leaving the Madonna dell'Orto cloisters with a mystery woman after A-list guests escaped a freak thunderstorm. Orlando and other guests had to brave the heavy rainfall as the party's VIPs exited the historic venue to catch a boat ride back to the luxurious five-star Aman Hotel. But the weather certainly didn't dampen his spirits as he piled into a water taxi with several ladies, including a striking brunette in a glitzy green dress. Once inside the boat, Orlando was caught wrapping his arm around one of them as they laughed together in their seats. It was reported on Wednesday that Orlando and Katy 'have split but are amicable'. A source told UsWeekly: '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.' The source described the alleged split as 'a long time coming' and claimed their relations 'have been tense for months'. The singer was previously married to British comedian Russell Brand. They tied the knot in a traditional Hindu ceremony in India in late 2010, but by December 2011, they announced their split. '[Divorce] was emotionally traumatic for me,' Katy told Rolling Stone in August 2014. 'It was the death of a dream. I was in fairy tale land, and the reality of it wasn't so.' Reports of her split from Orlando came days after Katy was pictured looking extremely downcast while out on a yacht with her dancers. Katy fuelled rumours her relationship was struggling when she made a very-telling comment on stage earlier this month. She was performing her 2008 heartbreak anthem I'm Still Breathing in Sydney when she was handed a packet of Tim Tam chocolate biscuits. '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.

Jennifer Garner's chilly reunion with woke Violet after their hotel blowup over teen's privileged rant
Jennifer Garner looked noticeably stern as she reunited with daughter Violet on Friday—just weeks after the teen publicly aired their hotel room spat over climate change. The 19-year-old, whom Garner shares with ex-husband Ben Affleck, recently went viral for a Yale essay in which she detailed a heated argument with her mom, 53, during a January stay at a luxury hotel. The family had evacuated their Los Angeles home to escape the city's wildfire smoke—something Violet later criticized as a privileged response to the climate crisis. According to a exclusive, Garner and Affleck were reportedly blindsided by the essay and had no idea Violet had written about the incident for her college paper. But on Friday night, the mother-daughter duo appeared to be working through the tension as they stepped out for dinner at celeb-favorite A.O.C. in Brentwood. Dressed in a striped sweater and jeans, Garner looked deep in conversation with her daughter, who wore a red pullover and flowing maxi skirt. Of course, Violet faced some backlash for toting high-end accessories in the days following her climate change rant. In May, she was photographed carrying a vintage Chloé Marcie bucket bag—an item that typically resells for around $1,000. Just days earlier, the Yale freshman had also been spotted with a Marc Jacobs purse valued between $200 and $300. The sightings sparked criticism online, with some questioning whether her message about climate privilege aligned with her own designer tastes. The news comes after Violet stepped out with her Oscar-winning father as well as her younger brother Samuel, 13, to grab a lowkey lunch - and had draped the stylish bag over her arm. Affleck and Garner - whose divorce was finalized in 2018 - are also parents to child Fin, 16. Violet has been vocal about her advocacy for both climate change and public health - such as the student demanding 'mask mandates' last year during an impassioned speech. But she recently penned an essay for her university's Global Health Review which was titled A Chronically Ill Earth: COVID Organizing as a Model Climate Response in Los Angeles. The Gen Zer detailed an argument that she had with her mom Jennifer Garner in the wake of the deadly fires that ravaged through Southern California at the beginning of the year. She had stated that while the 13 Going On 30 actress was left 'shell-shocked' over the devastation - Violet admitted that she was simply 'surprised at her surprise.' In the paper which was published on May 18, the student wrote of Garner: 'She was shell-shocked, astonished at the scale of destruction in the neighborhood where she raised myself and my siblings. 'I was surprised at her surprise: as a lifelong Angelena and climate-literate member of generation Z, my question had not been whether the Palisades would burn but when.' Violet then recalled having conversations with adults while staying at a hotel with her family to 'escape the smoke.' 'Though, I found my position to be an uncommon one: people spoke of how long rebuilding would take, how much it would cost, and how tragically odd the whole situation had been. 'The crisis was acute, a burst of bad luck. It had come from a combination of high winds and low rains.' The Yale student also wrote about how her younger brother Samuel had doubts that the fires were linked to climate change. 'Hopefully, most of us understand the climate crisis better than my little brother,' she added. Garner had volunteered with World Central Kitchen in the wake of the disaster to help feed firefighters and victims of the flames. During an emotional interview with MSNBC, the actress also revealed that she had lost a friend in the fires. Elsewhere in her school essay, Violet penned about society's approach when it comes to a crisis - and used COVID-19 as an example. She wrote about the government tackling the pandemic and facing the pressures to 'return to normal' by society. 'While vaccines have been extremely effective in reducing death rates, those of us who have never stopped "following the science" know that even mild COVID infections are dangerous.' Other topics Violet touched on included the effects of Long COVID and how privilege or bias can affect who receives a quick response for aid. She then followed up with an example about FEMA's differing response to the L.A. fires and the floods in North Carolina last year. At the time of the flames in January, Violet had also 'pressured' her family into wearing face masks once again due to poor air quality. A source told 'Violet Affleck has been pressuring her family to put a mask on since she has been back home because right now the air quality is unhealthy. 'She is clearly not going to give up on advocating for mask mandates. It has become a part of who she is and what she stands for.' The insider added that the college student 'is so passionate about this and she feels vindicated for her work championing masks because she does, truly, believe that her opposition to the ban is warranted. 'She is hoping the fires will serve to show people that masks can be used in times not only connected to the spread of a virus.' Last year in July, Violet had asked that 'mask bans' come to an end inside medical facilities during a speech to the governing body for Los Angeles County. She further asked the board to 'confront the long COVID crisis' and explained how she had contracted 'a post-viral condition' back in 2019. The teenager said at the time, 'I demand mask availability, air filtration and Far-UVC light in government facilitates, including jails and detention centers, and mask mandates in county medical faculties. 'You must expand the availability of high-quality free tests and treatment, and most importantly the county must oppose mask bans for any reason. They do not keep us safer.' Violet's speech garnered differing reactions - with some praising the Ivy League student while others called her 'utterly deluded.' Her father Ben also gave his eldest child a warning and told her that she needed to be 'realistic,' a source told 'While Ben and Jen will always support their daughter, Ben had a conversation with her and told her that she needs to be realistic with this because he doesn't want her to waste all of her time putting effort into something that probably won't make a difference in the long run. 'He knows how strongly she feels about this, but now that Violet is an adult, he felt that it was his duty to let her know that she is David fighting Goliath and that most people unfortunately do not feel the same way she does about this.' The insider added the Ben, 'was also concerned that Violet felt as if her parent's star power was going to be able to guarantee her the outcome that she wanted which, in this case, it is not.'
