Baby you're a firework! Dancing Donald and Melania in rare PDA at 4th July display... as even music mishap can't dampen spirits
President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump were caught smooching from the Truman Balcony Friday ahead of Washington, D.C.'s grand Fourth of July fireworks display. The first couple kissed and hugged as supporters down below 'awww'-ed the scene. Trump hosted military families in the South Lawn for the occasion, marking the holiday with a picnic. Earlier in the night he delivered a speech from the balcony before signing his 'Big Beautiful Bill' into law - as Congress made good on a promise to have the mega piece of legislation passed before the Trump-imposed Fourth of July deadline. There were also a trio of military flyovers, including with B-2 bombers, the stealth jets used in the recent military action over Iran. The Trumps had slipped into the West Wing but returned to watch the annual fireworks display over the National Mall. The DJ played patriotic tunes - but also a number of eyebrow-raising pop songs, including from artists Katy Perry and Lady Gaga, who were vocally supportive of Trump's Democratic political rivals: Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Perry's song Firework was played. HOT TO GO! was also blasted out - from Chappell Roan - and Defying Gravity, sung by Cynthia Erivo in the Wicked film - both popular LGBTQ artists. A number of country hits were also played. Members of the audience shouted out 'four more years' and 'eight more years.' Trump has another three and a half years of his second term and is Constitutionally ineligible to run again - despite some backing from Republicans to have the Constitution amended just for the president, under his unique situation of serving two non-consecutive terms. The president's walk-on song, Lee Greenwood's God Bless the USA, was played several times during the evening affair. As the fireworks ended, YMCA was played - Trump's traditional walk-off tune. He did his trademark dance and even got Melania to briefly do the moves too - though neither Trump engaged in the YMCA dance of spelling out the letters. The crowd was interspersed with Cabinet members and top Trump officials including Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Dan 'Razin' Caine, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, EPA Secretary Lee Zeldin and more. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt was photographed holding up the 'Big, Beautiful Bill' head of Trump's signing.

The first couple was headed to their Bedminster, New Jersey golf resort Wiles was caught deep in conversation with top Trump adviser Stephen Miller's wife Katie, who had worked for the previous Trump administration under Vice President Mike Pence and has worked with Elon Musk since the beginning of this one. For nearly a month, Trump and Musk - who had previously lead the Department of Government Efficiency - have been warring over the 'Big, Beautiful Bill,' with Musk arguing that the amount of government spending undid all the work he did for DOGE. Now Musk is threatening to start his own political party and financially help Republicans like Rep. Thomas Massie, who voted against the 'Big, Beautiful Bill.' After spending the night at the D.C. festivities, the president and first lady were headed to their Bedminster, New Jersey golf resort to spend the remainder of the holiday weekend.

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.'
