Orlando Bloom, long before the split with Katy Perry, started acting single months ago: ‘Flirting with girls in Miami'
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom quietly ended their relationship earlier this year. However, no public announcement was made at the time. Sources now say that Bloom had already started acting single months ago. First, it was reported that Orlando Bloom was 'partying hard' at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding. Bloom was seen in Miami in April for a cruise ship launch. He was again seen in Miami during the Miami Grand Prix in May. During both visits, he was reportedly seen openly flirting with women. 'Orlando was definitely with girls in Miami. He's been not subtly out and about,' said a Page Six source while calling the actor's flirting 'unapologetic'. Reps for Bloom and Perry told Page Six that the couple had been shifting their relationship over the past 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,' they said. This is not the first time Bloom's split is revealed long after it actually happened. The actor's separation with his wife, Miranda Kerr, was revealed on October 25, 2013. Interestingly, it was Katy Perry's birthday. After Bloom got divorced with Kerr, he briefly dated French actress Nora Arnezeder. Reports claimed that Elijah Wood, Bloom's Lord of the Rings co-star, introduced him to Nora. Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry began dating in 2016, split in 2017 for a year and got back together in 2018. They got engaged on Valentine's Day 2019. Their daughter was born in August 2020. Katy Perry reportedly felt stressed and upset after her album 143 didn't get a great response. Some reviews of her world tour also disappointed her, causing tension with Orlando Bloom. "Katy was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album," 143, which came out in September. "It made her very stressed. Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension," a source told PEOPLE. "She was also disappointed in some of the tour reviews. It's put stress on their relationship," said another inside.

99% of Indian people on LinkedIn have one complex ambition
Hello readers, enthaanu visheshangal? I hope your day is proceeding in a felicitous manner. Your favourite weekend columnist is currently on extended leave from work and other livelihood-related shenanigans. Things have been very busy indeed for the last many months. And I thought it was time to take a well-earned break to rest and recuperate. (If anyone reading this is looking to hire a handsome Malayali youth — a Mamdani from Malabar if you will — with an eclectic resume and reasonable salary expectations, please contact me immediately.) And how have I been spending this hard-earned period of professional respite? Yes, exactly. I have been lavishing away hours on end browsing LinkedIn. I am trying to figure out what all my long-forgotten best friends and sworn enemies — from secondary school, bachelor's, all the way up to master's — have been up to in their careers. Am I doing this in order to come up with characters for my next novel? How dare you? Do not insult me with such baseless allegations. (Yes.) But friends, let me ask you one question: what is your ultimate ambition in your professional life? I am a child of the 1990s. I grew up at a time when there was no Internet, most telephones were rotary, Indian bowlers were only fast if they were travelling by train, and one's greatest source of entertainment were latest Malayalam films. My professional ambitions when I was a child were simple: become any type of engineer except Civil, any type of doctor except surgeon, or, like Mohanlal in Yoddha (1992), travel to Nepal and become a warrior-monk who rescues the next incarnation of the Buddha from the clutches of a dark wizard before romancing the heroine. Ideally Simran, but Manju Warrier is also okay. Not a deal-breaker. But friends, as I have spent more and more time on LinkedIn, I have come to realise that 99% of all Indian people on LinkedIn have a particular ambition. It is a complex ambition. And it very much deserves a word by itself in the English dictionary. First, let me explain this ambition. The ambition is in two parts. The first part is to get a high-profile job in a high-profile company. It should come with a glamorous title and corporate travel. Once you get this job, you will share all kinds of glamorous details of your lifestyle on LinkedIn. You will share pictures of conferences in Kuala Lumpur, award ceremonies holding certificates, and intense pictures of intense office meetings where you discuss intense things with your intense colleagues. Of course, you will also share pictures of yourself on holiday with your family in assorted domestic and international locations. Now you might think: wait this is a perfectly fine ambition. In fact, this is my own ambition. Let me explain the second part of this ambition: to also relentlessly convey the fact that you cannot afford anything because you are simple and humble and will not spend money. Friends, this combination is the ultimate ambition of 99% of Indian people on LinkedIn: 1. To be able to indicate that you have a lot of money: 'Guys, just feeling so blessed today that I could book Chinnaswami Stadium for a simple private ceremony to celebrate my appointment as Chairman and Managing Director of Labour Price Arbitrage Software Corporation of India. I just want to say thanks to my wife who you can see in the photo sitting on her diamond.' 2. But to also then say that your quintessential Indian values mean that you will not spend a single rupee on anything due to intense humility and simple upbringing: 'Guys, I was leaving the First Class lounge at Heathrow last night, and then had to run back because I left my Rolex on the table. But I fell down and broke my water bottle. But did I buy a new one? Never. I am not one of those western decadents. Instead, I asked the lounge for a simple Bisleri bottle and reused it for 12 hours. This is a picture of the humble water bottle held in my hand wearing a Rolex. It reminds me every day to keep my Indian feet on the ground.' I have come up with a term for this absolute shenanigans: fauxsperity. Example sentence: 'Rajesh's latest post about flying business class to Singapore but still eating dal-rice from tiffin box because of his village upbringing was peak fauxsperity.' Are you someone whose ambition is to achieve fauxsperity in your life? Do you know any fauxsperous people yourself? Immediately send me their LinkedIn profiles, along with Internet banking login and password, if possible. The writer is head of talent at Clarisights. He lives in London and is currently working on a new novel.

Pop star Katy Perry, actor Orlando Bloom split 6 years after getting engaged
New York, Jul 4 (AP) Popstar Katy Perry and actor Orlando Bloom have split, multiple media outlets reported on Thursday. Outlets including People and USA Today cited a statement that said the pair 'have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting' and would continue to be seen in public with their daughter. The statement, attributed to representatives for both stars, said their priority would be raising their daughter with 'love, stability, and mutual respect'. The statement came a week after reports of the couple's breakup swirled ahead of the wedding of billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos, which Bloom attended alone. Perry has been on a world tour. Representatives for Perry and Bloom did not immediately respond to The Associated Press' request for comment. Perry, 40, and Bloom, 48, have been romantically linked since 2016. The pair split in 2017 but rekindled shortly thereafter, getting engaged on Valentine's Day in 2019, as Perry revealed during an interview on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live'. In 2020, the pair welcomed a daughter named Daisy Dove Bloom. Perry and Bloom got UNICEF to announce the news on its Instagram account. Both are goodwill ambassadors for the United Nations agency that helps children. Bloom and his former wife, Australian model Miranda Kerr, have a son, Flynn, who was born in 2011. Daisy is Perry's only child. Perry, born Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, was previously married to comedian Russell Brand. Born and raised in California, the 13-time Grammy Award nominee helped usher in the sound of '00s pop, quickly becoming one of the bestselling artists of all time for her campy, big, belting anthems. She has released seven studio albums, most notably 2010's sugar-sweet 'Teenage Dream'. The album produced five No. 1s that tied a record set by Michael Jackson's 1987 album 'Bad'. Bloom, who is from Canterbury, England, is best known for his roles as the elf Legolas in 'The Lord of the Rings' and "The Hobbit" films as well as Will Turner in the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' series.
