Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau spotted on 'dinner date' after Orlando Bloom split The Lord Of The Rings alum commented on an Instagram post by The Onion which featured an AI image of him having dinner with ex German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The caption joked how the pair were spotted "sipping wine and slurping oysters." They also joked how he "couldn't keep his eyes off" the politician. Clearly appreciating the tongue in cheek reference to his baby momma, he posted three hand clap Emoji icons underneath. PERRY WORRYING Earlier this year, Roar hitmaker Katy was said to have already told pals their relationship was as good as done - as reports claimed Orlando "won't win her back." Yet pals of the chart star have been quick to express their concern. Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau Spark Romance Rumors with Surprise Dinner in Montreal "Katy's friends want her to have fun after her split from Orlando, but she's still very much grieving the end of their relationship and the fact that she never made it down the aisle," an insider told The U.S. Sun. "They don't want her to rush into something serious, and have heard Justin has a bit of a reputation as a womanizer, and that he loves the fame game. "It is still a very new flirty friendship, but friends are hoping she takes it slow with the next person and chooses a man who loves her for her." A second source added to us: "Justin isn't a guy who is easy to 'catch' and he has been having a lot of women trying to date him since he separated from his wife. Katy Perry & Orlando Bloom's Relationship Timeline Fans have followed Katy and Orlando's relationship since it began in 2016. Here's a breakdown of their romance. The lovebirds met in January 2016 at a Golden Globes afterparty. That May, the pair made their relationship Instagram official. Katy and Orlando broke up in February 2017, which their reps confirmed after fans noticed they kept their distance at the Vanity Fair Oscars party. They reunited a year later on vacation in Prague. In September 2018, the duo made their red carpet debut at the Gala for the Global Ocean at the Opera of Monte-Carlo in Monaco. Orlando popped the question on Valentine's Day the following year. In March 2019, Orlando revealed he sold his home and had moved in with Katy. In March 2020, the couple announced they were expecting their first child together, whom they welcomed on August 26. Shortly before their daughter Daisy Dove's second birthday, Katy teased that she wanted to have more children with her fiance. In May 2024, Katy had fans convinced she was pregnant again when she posted a photo of her holding a positive pregnancy test. She followed with throwback photos and videos of her sharing the news of her first pregnancy. "He is someone that has some particular preferences, and he enjoys people who are genuinely nice and that see life in their own way. "Katy has her own 'world' and she is someone who is an extrovert, and she loves to talk about many different topics, and he really loves that." The Canadian's wild family history was also put under the spotlight recently following their "date." SPLIT REVEAL It has previously been claimed that Orlando's former fiance Katy - who is on tour in Australia - had told her mates their engagement was over at the start of the year, before removing her engagement ring. The pair share daughter Daisy Dove Bloom, aged four. A source close to the couple said at the time: 'Katy confided in friends at the start of the year that their relationship was as good as done. 'They decided to hold off on announcing anything in case things improved between them, because they are desperate to stay together for the sake of their daughter. "But they have spent barely any time together this year, with Katy on tour and Orlando working on his upcoming film Bucking Fastard in Dublin. 'She knew that taking off her engagement ring would send a clear message. 'It's been a hard year so far. They wanted to wait until the tour is over before they made their split official, although Katy has grown tired of the situation.' The couple started dating in 2016 and got engaged three years later. However, The Sun understands they had difficult conversations about their future over Christmas and in January but struggled to make a firm decision. 7 Justin was also spotted at Katy Perry's Montreal concert dancing and singing this week Credit: @ridmi/TMX 7 Yet pals of the popstar have expressed concern over her new connection Credit: Instagram/katyperry

Doctor's horrifying prediction for woman with 'world's biggest lips as flesh could rot
Andrea Ivanova, 27, has spent an estimated £20,000 on lip filler alone in her quest for extreme beauty - and new photos show her dramatic transformation from her natural appearance A woman who claims to have the "world's biggest lips" has revealed what she looked like before beginning her dramatic transformation. Since 2018, Andrea Ivanova, a 27-year-old woman from Bulgaria, has spent an estimated £20,000 on lip filler alone in pursuit of her extreme aesthetic. Now a social media personality, she has also undergone multiple procedures including chin enlargement and reshaping, jaw contouring, cheekbone enhancement and extensive lip augmentation. In recently released "before" photos, Andrea appears with naturally proportioned features — a stark contrast to her current dramatically altered appearance. "I like exaggerated things — huge lips, a face with many fillers, heavy and eccentric make-up," she explained. "Natural beauty is boring to me, so I decided to change my appearance radically." Dark lonely life of Bonnie Blue from acid attack fears and seclusion to divorce Brit comedian Cerys Nelmes arrested in Turkey after 'embarrassing mistake' in Zara Andrea says she intentionally strives to stand out, embracing what she calls "eccentric beauty." Her passion for transformation even led her to undergo six facial procedures in a single day — something her usual doctor refused to do due to safety concerns. Undeterred, Andrea found a surgeon in Germany who agreed to perform the treatments in February of last year. The procedures, however, came with significant physical discomfort. "I had pain all over my face. My jaw and chin hurt a lot, and it was hard to smile," she said at the time. "There was a pulling sensation across my cheekbones, but I knew it was normal because the filler hadn't yet settled." Despite the swelling, bruising, and difficulty eating, Andrea insisted her lips didn't hurt and described the pain as manageable. "The more filler there is, the less the area hurts,' she claimed. 'It's only a slight discomfort.' Although Andrea was initially thrilled with the results, even her German doctor has since voiced concerns about the long-term effects of her extreme cosmetic regimen — particularly the risk of necrosis, a serious condition in which tissue dies due to poor blood supply. The NHS warns that necrosis can be caused by trauma, radiation, or chemical exposure and may even be life-threatening. 'There are risks like inflammation and fever, especially with so many injections at once,' Andrea admitted. 'But I trust my doctor. They're a great professional in cosmetic surgery.' Andrea says she's aware of the potential dangers, but she remains committed to her aesthetic goals. 'You shouldn't judge people for their appearance — everyone has different tastes,' she said. 'It makes me very happy, and I plan to continue doing multiple injections in a single day in the future.' Plastic surgeon and aesthetic doctor Dr Leonard Josipovic blasted Andrea's doctor for carrying out the procedures, saying: "Boundaries have been crossed." 'As a board-certified plastic surgeon, I believe our role is not just to enhance appearances, but to protect patient safety, uphold ethical standards, and prioritise long-term wellbeing," he told The Mirror. "What we're seeing here goes far beyond aesthetic enhancement – this is extreme body modification, and it raises serious red flags around medical responsibility. "Repeated overfilling of the lips and face, especially in high-risk areas like the lips and nose, can lead to irreversible complications – including tissue death, vascular occlusion, permanent disfigurement, or even blindness. Allowing this degree of overcorrection is not in line with responsible, ethical medical practice." Dr Josipovic added: "Aesthetic medicine should never be about shock value. It's meant to empower patients and enhance natural beauty – not compromise health. When boundaries like this are crossed, it reflects a breakdown in proper patient screening, ethical oversight, and clinical judgement. As professionals, we must be brave enough to say no.'

Florian Wirtz lands iconic Liverpool shirt number after furious 'respect' outburst
Premier League champions Liverpool unveiled their kit for the 2025/26 season on Friday with German midfielder Florian Wirtz among the players to be handed a new squad number in the process Florian Wirtz will claim Liverpool' s iconic No 7 shirt with his favoured No 10 already taken. The German midfielder was signed for a fee that could reach £116m from Bayer Leverkusen earlier this summer. Even before arriving at Anfield, there was already drama over the squad number that he would don on Merseyside. It was suggested that Wirtz was keen to wear the No 10 shirt. The issue? That number is currently occupied by Argentina midfielder Alexis Mac Allister. A frustrated Wirtz took to social media to debunk those claims. Writing on his Instagram story, the Germany star wrote: 'Who says I want the 10. I respect players. Don't believe everything what's written." While Wirtz will not be donning the same number he wore at Leverkusen, the 22-year-old has landed another iconic number following the unveiling of Liverpool's new home kit from Adidas. He will wear the No 7 throughout the coming season, with the shirt having been left vacant following Luis Diaz 's move to German giants Bayern Munich. Ironically, Wirtz actually played a huge role in the winger's switch to the Bundesliga. Speaking at his Bayern unveiling, Diaz said: "I know what kind of football is played here. 'Florian told me that the Bundesliga has a high intensity, comparable to the Premier League. The stadiums are always full. Florian wished me a lot of luck.' Away from Diaz, Wirtz follows in the name of a whole host of iconic Liverpool players to wear the shirt. Steve McManaman, Peter Beardsley, Luis Suarez and Harry Kewell are among the former Reds stars to have claimed the number during their careers at Anfield. Liverpool fans have since taken to social media to hail the decision to give Wirtz the number seven. One fan said: 'Wirtz 7 just looks right,' while another added: 'Wirtz 7 just looks so good.' Will Liverpool win the Premier League title this season? Share your thoughts in the comments below Other supporters are expecting big things from Wirtz with the number on his back. Another fan said: 'Flo Wirtz takes on the iconic Liverpool No.7 shirt. Once worn by Keegan, Dalglish, Beardsley, McManaman, Kewell, Smicer, Suarez, Milner, legacy continues..' A final supporter added: 'Wirtz given the iconic number 7 to take us to glory and win our seventh UCL.' Wirtz will certainly hope to enjoy a positive start to life with his new squad number. Following a friendly with Spanish side Athletic Bilbao, he then has the chance to secure a debut trophy in the Community Shield clash with Crystal Palace. Liverpool then get their Premier League season underway against Bournemouth.
