Katy Perry's Yacht Glow-up Is Sending Major Vibes After Orlando Bloom Split
The 40-year-old pop star has been hard at work on her Lifetimes Tour, and now it's time for her to take a much-needed break between her Australian leg and the U.S. dates. Instead of hitting the rehearsal studio, she spent a relaxing holiday weekend in Capri, Italy, on a yacht. The Daily Mail captured snapshots of Perry lounging in her black bikini, showing off her athletic figure — the glow-up is real!

Orlando Bloom's Post-Wedding Flirt Fest Reportedly Isn't Sitting Well With Katy Perry
Perry's holiday isn't a romantic one, though. She was amongst friends, including Canadian talent agent Michael Kives and tech executive Ben Schwerin, and most importantly, daughter Daisy, 4. The media outlet described the yacht excursion as 'lighthearted and relaxed,' and there were no worries about her split from Bloom.
While the former couple's representative assured Page Six on July 3 that their core focus is 'love, stability, and mutual respect' for Daisy, there are still reported feelings about Bloom's behavior at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's late June wedding in Venice, Italy. Perry has no problem with her ex pursuing new relationships, but she hoped that he would be more private about his flirtations during this sensitive time.
'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 [their daughter] Daisy,' a source told the Daily Mail, '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. So, she's disappointed and sad.'
But Bloom appears to be in his feelings, too. On July 2, he posted a moody quote from Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung on his Instagram Story, per E! News: 'Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself.'
It's been a tough year for Perry with her breakup and the criticism surrounding the Blue Origin launch in April, but she's already showing signs that things are looking up. Her single-gal era might be her strongest one yet.Best of SheKnows

Kevin Connolly engaged
Kevin Connolly has got engaged. The Entourage actor has been dating Zulay Henao for seven years and on Friday (04.07.25), he popped the question in his hometown of Long Island, New York, in front of family members including their four-year-old daughter Kennedy. Zulay, 46, told People magazine: "It was intimate, personal and so full of love. Having Kennedy there made it unforgettable." Kevin got down on one knee to propose with a "timeless" and "elegant" diamond ring custom-designed by KC Sukamto. The jewellers created a "classic and modern" piece of jewellery featuring an emerald-cut solitaire with a hidden halo set in two-tone design with a gold band. The happy couple then celebrated with fireworks and an intimate dinner with their close family. Last month, the Modern Muze founder shared a touching tribute to Kevin on Father's Day. Sharing a selection of family photos, she wrote on Instagram: "Happy Father's Day Papi! We love you babe, thank you for being our home! You are Daddying beautifully, just look at the smiles in these pictures… muah baby." Kennedy was born amid the COVID-19 pandemic in June 2021, and the couple were in "awe" of their little girl. Announcing the tot's birth, Zulay wrote on her Instagram Story at the time: "She's really sweet and patient so far, not too much crying, just really curious about her surroundings. "I just watch in awe. She also has a huge appetite like her momma." Just six weeks later, Kevin and Kennedy contracted COVID-19 Kevin told Victory the Podcast: "I like to think I'm a pretty responsible person, even now that I have a baby. But I don't know, man … whatever this new Delta variant is. F*** man, I got sick. "It's been hard. Anyone that has a kid knows that it's hard when your kid is sick, you know? Because there's really nothing you can do for them." Kevin explained that his symptoms were "brutal" - but he was trying his best to cope with the illness. By contrast, he revealed that his daughter has been "doing great". Kevin explained: "It's just the congestion part, but the fever is down and we're all back on the road to recovery. It's a close call."

Love Island USA's Chris Seeley and Huda Mustafa Have Sex in the Villa
If you thought that it couldn't possibly get spicier on Season 7 Love Island USA, you would be wrong. Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales were chosen by their fellow Islanders to go to the Hideaway for some private time. Meanwhile, Chris Seeley and Huda Mustafa had sex in the villa. Several couples have done the deed in the villa, in close proximity to their co-stars, with cameras filming. The contestants have been so sexually adventurous this season that production reportedly asked the Islanders to calm their hormones. As if! During a recent episode of the series, Chris told Bryan that he and Huda had a 'hiccup' during the baby challenge. 'I truly appreciate her being vulnerable. I really do like her,' Chris said, before adding that he 'folded' the previous night. 'I wasn't going to tell anybody. [But] I couldn't do it anymore. I really tried [to hold out],' he explained. 'I just didn't want to tell the other boys.' In his confessional, Chris said, 'I feel like that was just a great step into our physical connection that we probably don't show in front of everyone else. It definitely made us feel stronger in our physical connection.' He added, 'That is really all I can say about that.' However, as you may recall, Huda previously had sex with her first connection, Jeremiah Brown. Plus, Pepe Garcia and Hannah Fields also enjoyed some sexy time in the villa before her exit. Do these people forget that they are on camera? Meanwhile, Cierra Ortega and her connection, Nic Vansteenberghe, also had sex in the communal villa. She even mentioned a term, 'journey,' that Huda coined as a code word for sex. I'm sure viewers will be hearing about more 'journeys' as the season winds to a close. Love Island USA is available to stream on Peacock, with new episodes airing every day except Wednesdays. TELL US – ARE YOU SURPRISED THAT CHRIS AND HUDA HAD SEX? IS THERE TOO MUCH SEX IN THE VILLA THIS SEASON? The post Love Island USA's Chris Seeley and Huda Mustafa Have Sex in the Villa appeared first on Reality Tea.

Ben Barnes & Joe Freeman on 'The Institute': 'You Have to Be Patient—It Adds to the Tension'
Stephen King's works have been adapted into numerous films over the years, from Carrie to The Shawshank Redemption and from IT to the most recent The Life of Chuck . Whether it's a full-blown horror movie or a more balanced drama, King is present in both bookstores and cinemas. However, even the smaller screen is made for his mind-blowing novels, as his The Institute is coming to MGM+ as a same-named series. The series combines elements of supernatural horror, fantasy, and thriller in a way that effectively tells the intriguing story of a young boy (Luke Ellis, played by Joe Freeman) who is abducted due to his unique abilities. He wakes up in a mysterious facility called The Institute, where he meets other kids with similar powers. The head of The Institute, Ms. Sigsby (Mary-Louise Parker), wants to use their powers for her own good. As Ellis fights to break free, the case draws the attention of a new police officer in town, Tim Jamieson (Ben Barnes). Ahead of the release of this highly anticipated series, Geek Vibes Nation had a chat with Barnes ( The Critic ) and Freeman about long days on set, what it's like starring in a Stephen King adaptation, and shooting the most intense scenes. Geek Vibes Nation: First of all, congratulations on the series. Joe, this is your acting debut and what an impressive debut it is. How was it for you to be part of this series? Joe Freeman: It shifted my perspective on how the following year was going to go because I'd left school, and I was like, 'What am I going to do?' I was auditioning, and it was the best feeling in the world when I received the phone call that I had landed the part. Since then, nothing has topped that. Working with such a talented group was terrific. They make you perform better. I did that for other people, and they certainly did it for me. The overall experience, not just the filming aspect but also that first proper bit of independence — living alone on another continent for four months — was all perfect. GVN: Did you feel even more pressure because it's an adaptation of a Stephen King novel? JF: Everyone loves his work; my granddad is a big Stephen King fan. I've got to do well to please him because he is the biggest Stephen King nerd. Also, just because, again, the talent around me. I felt a lot of pressure, for sure. GVN: And Ben, for you, it was also the first Stephen King adaptation you were in. How is it for you? Ben Barnes: It's one of those bucket list things for me because he's such a prolific author. I've read many of his books and seen numerous film adaptations, and when I knew I would be involved in this project, I devoured the book. He's one of those institutions. You want to make him proud. He has sat with these characters and with these stories, and they've been ruminating, and he's been dreaming about them. I don't know how long it takes Stephen King to write a book, but it takes him many months or years to put these stories on paper. He's living with these people who might be fictional, but he has made them three-dimensional and real for himself. Therefore, you almost want to breathe enough life into it that when he sees it, he feels proud of it. The fact that he had seen the first couple of episodes and then wanted to come on board as a producer of the show felt like a real boon. I felt proud of that. Even just after the first read-through, just sitting next to Joe, I went straight up to the showrunners and said, 'This is going to work'. Mainly because Joe was just brilliant from the first second. GVN: It takes a while into the series before your characters meet. How has it been to act together eventually? BB: I was chomping at the bit by the time we got to that because we'd been hanging out a lot, because it was mainly just the two of us staying in Halifax for all these months, filming separately from each other and then meeting up in these coffee shops. We would be chatting about what we had filmed that week. It all sounded cool and exciting. It also mirrored the tension of the book, as the narrative alternates between these two characters, each with their own experiences and stories, creating a unique tension. You have to wait, structurally, for them to come together, and you have to imagine what that dynamic's going to be and how that's going to play itself out. When you're watching the show, you have to be a bit patient with it, which adds to the tension. Courtesy of Geek Vibes Nation GVN: Joe, your performance seems very physically and psychologically demanding as well. How did the conversations with Benjamin [Cavell, co-writer and co-producer] go to try and get the balance right and for you to also feel comfortable and safe with this performance? JF: In my head, he's written the whole script, so I was like, 'Whatever you need from me to do, I'm thrilled because it's what I'm here to do'. Although, it did get to a point where some of those things took a lot out of me. There were times when I wasn't working for a few days, and it was needed. The filming requires a lot from you, especially in some of those scenes. GVN: After such a demanding day of filming, how would you try to get into a calm headspace again and just put it all behind you? JF: Honestly, most of those days, I would fall asleep after filming. There were long days, but I loved every second of it. And then going to sleep. GVN: Ben, your character, Tim, joins the police force in a tiny town and eventually starts to investigate The Institute. However, Tim's colleagues aren't doing that. They tend to back away from major investigations. Do you think it's because they're afraid of what they're going to find, for example, when investigating, or do you think there's something else going on? BB: I think that the Tim character has a real kind of trigger for and an awareness of injustice and things that don't smell right. He has powerful instincts in that regard. In this genre, people often possess telepathic qualities or telekinetic powers, but Tim is a very grounded, non-magical person with instincts that have proven to be right. Sometimes, they get him into trouble, so there's a wariness to him and a kind of solitude. It keeps him at bay from following his sort of wolf-like instincts to pursue justice. It's that self-awareness that I found interesting about him. He also has a healthy level of awareness. It's essential for him to be a good person and also to see the goodness in others. However, he's been burned enough to have developed a level of cynicism as well, and when you find him in the story, he's trying to find some peace for himself, following his instincts towards a quieter life. He's looking for a pause in his life before deciding what's next for him. However, what he finds is so much more than he bargained for, and he realises that his mission in life is to be a fiercely protective man, whether that's a good thing or a bad thing. GVN: Is that also the reason why your characters connect so well? Because he has the good in him, and he sees the good in everyone, even in people he has just met. BB: I think both. What the characters have in common is that they are both fierce protectors of justice, and they feel injustice very keenly, just in different ways. Tim has been through a lot and has an awareness of the evil in the world, including how the powers and the systems in place can be oppressive. Stephen King writes about that stuff a lot, about preying on the vulnerable, and the systems that are in place are not necessarily to be trusted. I don't want to speak for you [Joe], but Luke has a fierce sense of what's right and wrong as well. JF: When he's inside the Institute, you can see that. He doesn't want to be there. No one wants to be there. He turns up, and he asks what the rules are, and then when they don't stick to them, he's like, 'Well, you set the rules'. GVN: The Institute has various rooms. What would be the scariest one for you if it indeed existed? BB: If I were in The Institute, it would be the one with the vending machine—all the weird snacks. JF: Weird, weren't they? They were weird. But I would say the deprivation room. The oxygen. That would scare me the most. BB: Have you heard about this, the quietest room in the world? JF: No. BB: Have you heard about this? GVN: No. BB: I was reading about it the other day. There's a room in the world with a sound level of minus 17 decibels, and if you could last in there for 24 hours, they'd give you a million dollars or something. But the longest anyone's ever been in there is 45 seconds. JF: Wait, why? BB: I think it's unbearable because all you can feel is your heartbeat and breath, and you can even hear the blood in your veins and stuff like that. It's horrifying that no one has been in there for more than 45 seconds. That's what my Instagram wants me to know about, anyway. The Institute is out on the 13th of July on MGM+
