Katy Perry enjoys cosy dinner date with Justin Trudeau after Orlando Bloom split
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Up Next Previous Page Next Page In a plot twist no one expected, Katy Perry has been filmed enjoying a cosy dinner with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau weeks after she and Orlando Bloom called it a day on their relationship. The Fireworks singer, 40 and Trudeau, 53, looked deep in conversation at Montreal's Le Violon restaurant in a short video. In the clip, filmed by an onlooker, Katy can be seen leaning in to hear Trudeau over a table in the Canadian city, as she smiled with her dark hair down, while the politician wore a brown jacket. Alongside the video of their dinner obtained by Daily Mail, TMZ also report the pair headed out earlier in the evening to have a few drinks on the terrace at Taverne Atlantic. Le Violon chef Danny Smiles told the US outlet there was no PDA when he served them. It's not clear whether the pair are romantically involved, or just enjoying a casual dinner together while Katy is on the Canadian leg of her Lifetimes Tour. Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau were spotted enjoying a bite to eat in Montreal (Picture: Backgrid) They looked engrossed in conversation (Picture: Backgrid) Both have endured a difficult year, with the California Gurls hitmaker releasing a disappointing album, facing backlash for her Blue Origin flight to space, and splitting from British star Orlando after nine years together. While the Lord of the Rings actor, 48, and the popstar never tied the knot, they got engaged in 2019 and share a four-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove. In a joint statement issued to US media outlets in July, representatives for the couple said the pair 'have been shifting their relationship over the past many 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,' it continued. Sources claimed that the former couple 'had to admit' they would be better parents to their daughter if they weren't a couple. We didn't have Katy and the former Canadian PM Trudeau on our radar for 2025, that's for sure (Picture: Rasid Necati Aslim /Anadolu via Getty Images) Katy and Orlando were romantically linked for nine years (Piture: Dia Dipasupil/FilmMagic) Another insider said: 'At a certain point, they had to admit it's better for Daisy to see their parents separately, then she won't grow up feeling the tension and animosity.' 'They are there for Daisy and have been,' added the source. 'They want to keep a friendly relationship so each can be around her separately or together.' While Bloom has posted cryptic messages on social media about 'new beginnings' since, Katy has ditched her engagement ring on public outings. Meanwhile, Trudeau announced his resignation in January after 10 years in power ahead of a major election, as opposition grew following a series of by-election defeats. Got a story?

Donald Trump kisses Melania at July 4th party
President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump were caught kissing from the Truman Balcony on 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 on 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 pass the mega piece of legislation before the Trump-imposed July 4 deadline. There were also a trio of military flyovers, including B-2 bombers, the stealth jets used in 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 from artists like Katy Perry and Lady Gaga, who vocally supported Trump's Democratic rivals Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris. Perry's song "Firework" was played. Other tracks included HOT TO GO! by Chappell Roan and Defying Gravity, sung by Cynthia Erivo in Wicked — both popular LGBTQ artists. A number of country hits were also in the mix. Audience members shouted 'four more years' and 'eight more years.' Trump is three and a half years into his second term and is Constitutionally ineligible to run again — despite some Republicans backing an amendment to allow it, citing his unique situation of serving two non-consecutive terms. His walk-on song, Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA," was played multiple times during the event. As the fireworks ended, YMCA played — Trump's traditional walk-off tune. He did his trademark dance and even got Melania to briefly join in, though neither performed the YMCA letter moves. The crowd included Cabinet members and Trump officials such as Joint Chiefs Chair Dan 'Razin' Caine, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, and EPA Secretary Lee Zeldin. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt was photographed holding up the 'Big, Beautiful Bill' after Trump's signing. Wiles was seen in conversation with Katie Miller, wife of top adviser Stephen Miller, who worked for VP Mike Pence in the previous administration and has been working with Elon Musk in this one. After weeks of tension over the bill, Musk is now threatening to start a political party and support Republicans like Rep. Thomas Massie. Trump and Melania departed for their Bedminster, New Jersey golf resort after the celebration, with the president pumping his fist as they boarded Air Force One.

Band Touched to host festival-like concert in August
Immersive festival-style event 'Attraction' to offer fans powerful live performances and interactive experiences Rising Korean band Touched is set to hold a special solo concert this August. "Attraction" will take place on Aug. 23 and 24 at Hall 10 of Kintex Exhibition Center 2 in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province. This will mark Touched's largest solo concert since the band's debut in 2021, promising a large-scale concert with a wide array of interactive content to connect more deeply with fans. "Attraction" combines Touched's signature intense live performances and dynamic stage production with experiential zones that invite audience participation. Unlike conventional concerts that center on the main performance, the upcoming concert will include a content zone and F&B booths, creating a music festival-like atmosphere for a richer fan experience. 'This show will not only deliver emotional moments on stage but also offer exciting content off stage that allows fans to interact and enjoy the Touched experience to the fullest,' said an official from MPMG Music, the band's agency. Formed in 2021, Touched rose to prominence after winning Mnet's band audition program "Great Seoul Invasion" in 2022. Since then, it has held solo concerts such as "Highlight III," "Fireworks" and "Remnant," all of which sold out. Before the concert announcement, the band took the stage as a headliner at Korea's renowned music festival Beautiful Mint Life for the first time on June 13. The band will continue with a packed schedule for the second half of the year. Touched is slated to perform at the SBS "Gayo Daejeon – Summer Unipop" in July, the Incheon Pentaport Rock Festival in August, Lovechips Festival in September and the Busan International Rock Festival in October.

The City of St. Augustine is making changes ahead of its 'Fireworks Over the Matanzas' event.
In response to the record-breaking 2024-2025 Nights of Lights season and community feedback, the City of St. Augustine is making changes to its Fireworks Over the Matanzas operations as a test run for proposed operational changes for the upcoming Nights of Lights season. The following changes will be made on Friday, July 4, 2025: There will be an additional 134 public portable toilets placed in the parking lot at the corner of St. George Street and Cathedral Place, and 20 portable public toilets added near the Visitor Information Center. View the map here. Pedestrian barriers will be installed along Cathedral Place on the north side of the Plaza de la Constitución as a barricade, preventing pedestrians from crossing Cathedral Place in the middle of the block. Pedestrians must cross at the intersection of Cathedral Place at St. George Street and Charlotte Street. It is important to note that Cathedral Place will be closed to vehicular traffic starting at 4:00 pm, between Avenida Menendez and Cordova Street. Barricades will be placed at critical intersections in the historic downtown area to block vehicular access. Public Safety Assistance and St. Augustine Police officers will be stationed at critical intersections to direct pedestrian and vehicular traffic. The American Red Cross will be stationed at the intersection of Cathedral Place and Charlotte Street, near Anderson Circle, distributing water while supplies last and helping as needed to passersby. The Broudy's Lot, located at 198 W. King St., will be open for free parking from 5:00pm until midnight; however, shuttles will not be available. The Broudy's Lot is within walking distance to downtown, so those who choose to park there may walk to the historic downtown and bayfront. As a reminder to those who plan to attend Fireworks Over the Matanzas: Before you arrive, have an exit strategy. Plan to stay downtown after the fireworks display. Allow traffic and people to disperse. Be patient. Expect long delays when exiting downtown following the fireworks. It takes all day for people to arrive, and everyone tries to leave at the same time. The Historic Downtown Parking Facility is expected to reach capacity early and will be closed. There will be long exit lines when leaving the garage after the fireworks.
