Katy Perry Performs Breakup Songs Amid Orlando Bloom Split
During a 'Choose Your Own Adventure' segment at her concert, the audience votes for two surprise songs to be added to Katy's setlist for the night. The final decision ended up being 'Not Like the Movies' and 'The One That Got Away,' both emotional ballads from her Grammy-nominated 2010 album, Teenage Dream.
'Y'all want me to sing 'Not Like the Movies' at this time in my life?' Katy jokingly told the crowd at the Kia Forum, referring to the end of her relationship with Orly. She seemed to be in good spirits either way, as she added, 'Okay, we'll do it! Because you voted for it.'
As for 'Not Like the Movies,' which she performed at the 2011 Grammys following her romance with Russell Brand, Katy said, 'This next song I wrote in my 20s...after my first divorce.'
She jokingly added, 'I'll try and hold my composure while I sing it a week before my period.'
Katy and Orlando were together for nine years before an insider confirmed their split to Us Weekly, saying, 'Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable. It's not contentious at the moment. 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 pair doubled down as their rep released a statement, which read, 'Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on coparenting. 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.'

Why My Chemical Romance is bigger than it's ever been
Twelve years after a breakup that didn't stick — and one year shy of the 20th anniversary of its biggest album — My Chemical Romance is on the road this summer playing 2006's 'The Black Parade' from beginning to end. The tour, which stopped Saturday night at Dodger Stadium for the first of two concerts, doesn't finally manifest the long-anticipated reunion of one of emo's most influential bands; My Chem reconvened in 2019 and has been performing, pandemic-related delays aside, fairly consistently since then (including five nights at Inglewood's Kia Forum in 2022 and two headlining appearances at Las Vegas' When We Were Young festival). Yet only now is the group visiting sold-out baseball parks — and without even the loss leader of new music to help drum up interest in its show. 'Thank you for being here tonight,' Gerard Way, My Chem's 48-year-old frontman, told the crowd of tens of thousands at Saturday's gig. 'This is our first stadium tour, which is a wild thing to say.' To mark the occasion, he pointed out, his younger brother Mikey was playing a bass guitar inscribed with the Dodgers' logo. So how did this darkly witty, highly theatrical punk band reach a new peak so deep into its comeback? Certainly it's benefiting from an overall resurgence of rock after years dominated by pop and hip-hop; My Chem's Dodger Stadium run coincides this weekend with the return of the once-annual Warped Tour in Long Beach after a six-year dormancy. Then again, Linkin Park — to name another rock group huge in the early 2000s — recently moved a planned Dodger Stadium date to Inglewood's much smaller Intuit Dome, presumably as a result of lower-than-expected ticket sales. The endurance of My Chemical Romance, which formed in New Jersey before eventually relocating to Los Angeles, feels rooted more specifically in its obsession with comic books and in Gerard Way's frank lyrics about depression and his flexible portrayal of gender and sexuality. ('GERARD WAY TRANSED MY GENDER,' read a homemade-looking T-shirt worn Saturday by one fan.) Looking back now, it's clear the band's blend of drama and emotion — of world-building and bloodletting — set a crucial template for a generation or two of subsequent acts, from bands like Twenty One Pilots to rappers like the late Juice Wrld to a gloomy pop singer like Sombr, whose viral hit 'Back to Friends' luxuriates in a kind of glamorous misery. For much of its audience, My Chem's proudly sentimental music contains the stuff of identity — one reason thousands showed up to Dodger Stadium wearing elaborate outfits inspired by the band's detailed iconography. In 2006, the quadruple-platinum 'Black Parade' LP arrived as a concept album about a dying cancer patient; Way and his bandmates dressed in military garb that made them look like members of Satan's marching band. Nearly two decades later, the wardrobe remained the same as the band muscled through the album's 14 tracks, though the narrative had transformed into a semi-coherent Trump-era satire of political authoritarianism: My Chemical Romance, in this telling a band from the fictional nation of Draag, was performing for the delectation of the country's vain and ruthless dictator, who sat stony-faced on a throne near the pitcher's mound flanked by a pair of soldiers. The theater of it all was fun — important (if a bit crude), you could even say, given how young much of the band's audience is and how carefully so many modern pop stars avoid taking political stands that could threaten to alienate some number of their fans. After 'Welcome to the Black Parade,' a bearded guy playing a government apparatchik handed out Dodger Dogs to the band and to the dictator; Way waited to find out whether the dictator approved of the hot dog before he decided he liked it too. Yet what really mattered was how the great songs still are: the deranged rockabilly stomp of 'Teenagers,' the Eastern European oom-pah of 'Mama,' the eruption of 'Welcome to the Black Parade' from fist-pumping glam-rock processional to breakneck thrash-punk tantrum. Indeed, the better part of Saturday's show came after the complete 'Black Parade' performance when My Chem — the Way brothers along with guitarists Frank Iero and Ray Toro, drummer Jarrod Alexander and keyboardist Jamie Muhoberac — reappeared sans costumes on a smaller secondary stage to 'play some jams,' as Gerard Way put it, from elsewhere in the band's catalog. (Its most recent studio album came out in 2010, though it's since issued a smattering of archived material.) 'I'm Not Okay (I Promise)' was blistering atomic pop, while 'Summertime' thrummed with nervy energy; 'Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)' was as delightfully snotty as its title suggests. The band reached back for what Way called his favorite My Chem song — 'Vampires Will Never Hurt You,' from the group's 2002 debut — and performed, evidently for the first time, a chugging power ballad called 'War Beneath the Rain,' which Way recalled cutting in a North Hollywood studio 'before the band broke up' as My Chem tried to make a record that never came out. The group closed, as it often does, with its old hit 'Helena,' a bleak yet turbo-charged meditation on what the living owe the dead, and as he belted the chorus, Way dropped to his knees in an apparent mix of exhaustion, despair, gratitude — maybe a bit of befuddlement too. He was leaving no feeling unfelt.

All About Eve Jobs's Husband, Harry Charles
Eve Jobs is the youngest daughter of the late Steve Jobs, the famous founder of Apple, and his former wife, Laurene. On Saturday, Eve married famous equestrian Harry Charles in the Cotswolds. The Jobs family reportedly went all out for the luxurious wedding, but Laurene has stated in the past that wealth accumulation has not been a priority in the family. She told the New York Times in 2020 that the tech mogul 'didn't care about the accumulation of wealth' and she decided to dedicate her life to 'doing the very best I can to distribute it effectively, in ways that lift up individuals and communities in a sustainable way.' She added, 'I'm not interested in legacy wealth building, and my children know that. Steve wasn't interested in that. If I live long enough, it ends with me.' Eve and her new husband, however, did spend a lot on their ceremony, according to Us Weekly, who stated it was held at St. Michael and All Angels in Great Tew, followed by a reception at the private members' club and hotel Estelle Manor. There, Sir Elton John serenaded the couple and guests—the perfect way to kick off a new marriage. Here's everything to know about Eve and her relationship with Charles so far. Harry Charles is a 26-year-old Olympian, who first represented Great Britain at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. There, he competed in individual jumping and team jumping. In 2024, he was a member of the British Team again and won a gold for show jumping at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics. He even won that medal with a fractured arm strapped to his side from an earlier injury, with the help of his horse, Romeo. Per the Daily Mail, he also has had success outside the Olympics, at the London International Horse Show in 2021 with three wins, including winning the World Cup competition with Stardust and the Grand Prix with Borsato. Charles comes from a long line of horse people. His father, Peter, is also a former Olympic equestrian and was on Team GB when Britain won their first team jumping gold medal in 60 years at the 2012 London Summer Olympics. They reportedly began dating in 2022 and got engaged in September 2024. They likely have bonded over horses, because Eve has a passion for equestrian hobbies as well. She even competes, most recently at The Defender Stakes in the Castle Arena in May 2025. A source told the U.S. Sun that their Cotswolds ceremony would be a 'society wedding like no other.' 'The sleepy village in which it's taking place feels like it's turning into a no-go zone, with secret service operatives and blokes who look like they work for the FBI,' the insider said. 'This is a very quiet place not far from the Cotswolds. Everyone is used to tourists and famous faces, but this is something else.' In photos from the event, it does appear as though people lined up to check out the arrivals at the church. According to The Times, there was a celebrity guest list, including Kamala Harris, Bill and Melinda Gates' daughter Jennifer Gates Nassar, and chef Ruth Rogers and Bruce Springsteen's daughter, Jessica Springsteen, who also served as a bridesmaid.

Justin and Hailey Bieber Share Passionate Kiss in New Photo
THE RUNDOWN On Friday, Justin Bieber posted new pictures with wife Hailey Bieber, including a shot of them sharing a passionate kiss. In the image, which Hailey then shared in her Instagram Stories, the model is wearing a cropped black tank top and has her arms wrapped around a shirtless Justin. She is holding a yellow can and phone in one hand and has her eyes closed as they kiss. He has one hand around her waist, the other coming around her back. The photo was reportedly taken after a listening party for his his new album, Swag, at the Bird Street Club. In a few carousels, Justin shared snaps from the whole night, which featured dancing, music, and what looks like a mini golf range. In other pictures, he stands behind Hailey with his arms wrapped around her, looking out at the crowd. In another, she is smiling behind him as he looks out over the turntables. The singer has been sharing more shots of Hailey lately, including another kissing photo from a recent vacation they took together. The couple is coming up on their seven-year wedding anniversary. It is almost the first birthday of their son, Jack Blues Bieber, who they welcomed last August. In Swag, Justin seemingly made references to marriage troubles and his commitment to sticking with Hailey no matter what. On the song 'Walking Away,' Justin sings, 'Baby, I ain't walking away / You were my diamond / Gave you a ring / I made you a promise / I told you I'd change / It's just human nature / These growing pains / And baby, I ain't walking away.' In 'Daisies,' he discusses how they deal with conflict, singing: 'You leave me on read, babe, but I still get the message / Instead of a line, it's three dots, but I can connect them / And if it ain't right, babe, you know I respect it / But if you need time, just take your time / Honey, I get it, I get it, I get it / Way you got me all in my head / Think I'd rather you in my bed / Whatever it is, you know I can take it / I'm countin' the days, how many days 'til I can see you again?' In late June, a source told Us Weekly, 'Justin's been a hard person to deal with recently because of what he's going through. Hailey is the stable parent and the one keeping their family together. It's been really hard on her.' That source added, 'They don't talk about divorce.' A second source said, 'They believe they are soulmates and meant for each other. They'll do anything to make it work.'
