Katy Perry spotted on a DATE with Canada's former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as pair brush off splits and scandals
Katy Perry sparked romance rumors with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at a cozy dinner date just weeks after her split from Orlando Bloom was confirmed. The singer, 40, and Trudeau, 53, were filmed dining together in Montreal on Monday at the city's Le Violon restaurant. In a video obtained by TMZ, the pair leaned over a table towards one another as they intimately chatted. A smiling Perry was seen gesturing as Trudeau intently listened. Daily Mail has contacted representatives for comment and has yet to hear back. Perry shares one daughter Daisy, four, with ex fiance Bloom, 48. Trudeau shares three children with ex wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, from whom he announced a split in August 2023 after 18 years of marriage. Trudeau announced on January 6 that he was stepping down as the Liberal party leader but stayed on as prime minister until his successor was chosen on March 9. Perry and Bloom began dating in 2016 and got engaged on Valentine's Day 2019. After the couple were trailed by rumors about the state of their relationship, it was widely reported Wednesday that they have gone their separate ways. Pouring fuel on the fire, Orlando went alone to Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez 's star-studded wedding in Venice, with Katy in Australia on tour. Orlando shared a cryptic Instagram post about 'loneliness' and 'darkness' this week, while Katy was seen breaking down in tears onstage at her last Australian show. Now, representatives for the pair have confirmed to that 'Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting. 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.' Last month, 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.' The Teenage Dream hitmaker - who is currently on her Lifetimes Tour - was previously married to Russell Brand from 2010 until their divorce in 2012. The insider further added that the reported breakup had been 'a long time coming' and that their relationship had also been 'tense for months.' Last month, People claimed Perry's poorly performing album 143 had caused 'tension' in her relationship with her fiancé. The singer's seventh studio album was released in September 2024 and received a largely negative response from fans and critics alike, who claimed the record sounds as if it was 'generated through AI.' Perry's career continued to suffer from the backlash of her Blue Origin space trip - with Bloom said to have found the intergalactic mission 'cringe' and 'embarrassing'.

The real-life Homeward Bound! Cheetah cub separated from her mother finds an unlikely best friend in a PUPPY
Cats and dogs are notorious for not getting on with each other. While one has a loud bark, the other has sharp claws – often leading to hilarious stand–offs between the animals. But this adorable pair are exceptions to the rule. An Australian zoo has recruited a puppy to help socialise a cheetah cub after she had to be separated from her mother. A video shows the pair playing happily together, in scenes reminiscent of the hit film Homeward Bound. The 1993 American adventure film features a trio of two dogs – Chance and Shadow – and a cat – Sassy – who get lost. While they initially don't have a strong bond, the trio develop a close relationship throughout their journey. Now, new footage shows a young cheetah cub, Rozi, and Ziggy the labrador–kelpie–collie mix, showing that close bonds and friendship truly can transcend species. Rozi was born in February at the Taronga Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo, Australia, by emergency C–section after her mother Siri went into labour early. Sadly, the two had to be separated as Siri never produced milk and Rozi was critically unwell for the first weeks of her life. Rozi's two siblings were stillborn, and so to prevent her being lonely and facing the prospect of 18 months in isolation, keepers decided to find her a step–sibling. She was introduced to Ziggy when they were both around two months old under the careful handling and supervision of zoo staff. But it wasn't long until the pair were playing freely and snoozing together. 'They match each other so well with their energy level, the type of play that they do and their size,' Jordan Michelmore, a zookeeper at Western Plains Zoo, told New Scientist. 'The dopeyness, the lightheartedness and the looseness of a puppy seem to match Rozi pretty well for this stage of life.' In a video, shared online by the zoo, she added: 'The pair of them have now become best friends, and it's beautiful to watch their relationship develop. The pair even snuggle up at night to sleep together – showing the strong bond of friendship and trust they have formed Playful footage shows the young cub, Rozi, and Ziggy the labrador–kelpie–collie mix showing that close bonds and friendship truly can transcend species Cheetah facts Cheetahs are the fastest land animals, capable of reaching speeds up to 70 mph (112 km/h) Cheetahs have semi–retractable claws that act like the studs or cleats of running shoes, giving them traction during high–speed chases Unlike other big cats, cheetahs cannot roar. Instead, they make a variety of chirps, purrs, and high–pitched calls. A cheetah's spots are as unique as human fingerprints – no two cheetahs have the same pattern. Adult cheetahs typically weigh between 75 and 140 pounds Cheetahs are considered vulnerable to extinction 'They'll chase each other, she'll stalk Ziggy and pounce on him and he'll chase her.' She revealed this is not the first time the zoo has introduced a cheetah cub to man's best friend. Siri, Rozi's mother, was also a single cub, and became incredibly close with a puppy she was introduced as a youngster. 'Now it does truly feel full circle,' Ms Michelmore said. Ziggy, who keepers describe as an 'annoying big brother', is 'truly a wonderful dog' who has the 'perfect nature' for the job. His role at the zoo will last 'around a year' – roughly the same amount of time that cheetah cubs spend with their siblings. This is the time when female cheetah cubs usually become solitary, the keepers said. At this point, Ziggy will be adopted. 'Our goal is for Rozi to join our cheetah breeding program,' Ms Michelmore added. 'So by having these kinds of relationships now with the puppy, it builds her confidence and social skills. 'In the future, when hopefully she'll get introduced to a male cheetah for breeding, hopefully she'll have that confidence and that socialisation.' Archive footage shows Rozi's mother Siri playing with a puppy when she was a cub. Keepers said the new friendship represents a 'full circle' moment In an online post, the zoo said: 'Both cub and puppy are living behind the scenes at the Zoo's Cheetah breeding facility, and it's hoped that Rozi will one day play a part in the regional breeding program for her vulnerable species. Rozi's name means rose, a symbol of joy in Swahili, and there's no doubt both her and Ziggy are bringing joy to all of us here at Taronga Western Plains Zoo.' Cheetahs are classified as vulnerable in the wild with fewer than 7,000 mature individuals remaining. Wild populations continue to decline due to human–wildlife conflict, loss of habitat and habitat fragmentation, poaching and illegal wildlife trafficking. Cheetahs are also notoriously difficult to breed, so every birth is extremely valuable to the global population. Taronga Western Plains Zoo is part of the international Cheetah breeding program, and the first Australasian zoo to breed the species. HOW CAN THE CHEETAH'S INNER EAR MAKE IT FASTER? Scientists have discovered one of the keys to the incredible speeds of the world's fastest animal, the cheetah. The balance system, in vertebrates' inner ears, consists of three canals that are semicircular. The canals contain sensory hair cells and fluid. The cells detect head movements. Each of the three canals is angled differently. They are all especially sensitive to distinct movements: one is sensitive to up-and-down movements, one to side-to-side movements and the last to tilting movements that go from one side to the other. New research from the American Museum of Natural History has found that two of the three semicircular canals in the inner ear of the modern cheetah are of different lengths than those of extinct species. Scientists believe the animal's inner ear design evolved over time to make it faster.

Joan Anderson, who helped create the hula hoop, dies aged 101
Joan Anderson, an Australian woman who went uncredited for her role in creating the hula hoop, has died age died on 14 July at a nursing home in Carlsbad, California, having lived "a wonderful life", her family Anderson, who moved from Sydney to the US in 1946, claimed to be the originator of the name 'hula hoop' and played a crucial role in introducing the toy to the US, though never received proper recognition. In 1956, when visiting her parents in Australia, Ms Anderson spotted people swivelling wooden hoops around their waists for exercise. She had a hoop sent to her home in California, where it became a source of amusement at dinner parties. She said a friend pointed out that the movement looked like Hawaiian hula dancing, prompting her to dub the toy the hula in the 2018 documentary Hula Girl, Ms Anderson, a former model, said her husband Wayne knew toy businessman Arthur 'Spud' Melin and arranged a meeting to pitch the hula hoop for his company, Wham-O. They met Mr Melin in his office car park, she recalled, where he told them the toy had merit and they would be compensated if it made money for Wham-O. A deal was sealed with what Ms Anderson called a "gentleman's handshake".Wham-O developed a colourful plastic version and sold millions within months of its launch. As the toy became more popular, the couple heard less from Mr Melin, Ms Anderson said. The Andersons filed a lawsuit against Wham-O in 1961, which ended in with a modest settlement and no formal Joan Constance Manning in Sydney on 28 December 1923, she worked as a swimsuit model and met Wayne Anderson, a US Army pilot, on Bondi Beach and married him soon in life, her story was rediscovered by filmmakers and featured in Hula Girl, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival. Filmmaker Amy Hill told the BBC: "Telling Joan's story was such a rewarding experience. She was 94 when we met and even with everything she'd been through, she had lived an amazing, full life. "Seeing her finally get the recognition she deserved after all those years was incredible."Ms Anderson is survived by two sons, a daughter and six grandchildren. Another son, Carl, died in 2023.
