Katy Perry & Orlando Bloom's Relationship Is Not What It Seems, Claims ‘Source'
and 's relationship is reportedly on the verge of collapse. The pair has recently sparked breakup speculation, with sources stating that their bond is not what it seems. Insiders hinted that the couple might break up soon. These reports come at a time when the singer is in the midst of her Lifetimes Tour, while her beau is busy promoting his new film, 'Deep Cover.' The duo previously broke up in 2017, only to rekindle their romance less than a year later.

Most recently, an insider exclusively told Page Six that their romance is over. The source further shared a rough timeline when people can expect the news to break. They said, 'They are waiting till her tour is over before they split.' Perry is currently performing around the world for her Lifetimes Tour and is in the middle of the Australian leg of her concerts. The tour, which began on April 23, will run through December 7. Another source told PEOPLE that the singer's stress with her tour and album has also been one of the reasons the couple is experiencing tension in their relationship.

Katy Perry suffers near wardrobe malfunction after her bra pops off onstage in Vegas
You know what they say about California Gurls. Katy Perry came dangerously close to suffering a wardrobe malfunction when her bra broke during her Las Vegas show over the weekend. The 'Fireworks' singer, 40, was running around on the stage on Saturday, May 17, in a bejeweled bra top, matching underwear and thigh-high boots while singing her hit 'Part of Me' when her mic pack appeared too heavy for the tiny strap. Seemingly popping open, Perry abruptly halted on the stage during her 'Lifetimes' tour. Thankfully, Perry was quick on her feet and grabbed the back of the rhinestone bra just in time to prevent an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction. 'Oh s–t, my bra is gonna come off,' Perry said into the microphone. The musician then summoned her assistant to the stage and asked for help fixing the wardrobe issue. 'Put my bra back on, Patrick,' Perry quipped, per Us Weekly, before telling the audience, 'Sorry, guys, you didn't pay that much.' 'Wardrobe malfunction in Part of Me song by @Katy Perry in Las Vegas show ,' a fan who caught the near blunder captioned a TikTok video. Fans loved the clip and left several comments praising the singer. ''Sorry guys you didn't pay that much,'' one person laughed. 'This is the funniest thing I've ever seen,' shared a second. Perry started the US leg of her 'Lifetimes Tour' on May 7 after being launched into space as part of Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin space mission. Her tour has been plagued with controversy, with haters accusing her of tailoring the outfits, choreography and several props as a homage to her highly-critiqued space voyage. Perry faced further backlash this weekend when it was claimed that she's allegedly no longer wanted in Sin City after her three-year residency at Resorts World reportedly tanked, losing the hotel and casino money. 'The residency was a disaster for Resorts World, a complete failure,' a source told Paula Froelich of NewsNation. 'There was a bidding war between Resorts World and Caesars … and Caesars technically lost out — but in the end, Caesars won,' the insider explained, before revealing how much Perry allegedly made during her stay. 'Katy was getting paid between $750,000 and $900,000 a show because of the bidding war and the entire run she underperformed and Resorts World lost money,' the source claimed. The Post reached out to Perry's rep for comment. While the 'Last Friday Night' singer has yet to address the latest allegations, she did show gratitude to her die-hard fans after they launched a worldwide project to congratulate the hitmaker on her 'Lifetimes Tour' with a temporary billboard in Times Square, reading, 'Know that you are safe, seen and celebrated.' 'Please know I am ok, I have done a lot work around knowing who I am, what is real and what is important to me. My therapist said something years ago that has been a game changer, 'No one can make you believe something about yourself that you don't already believe about yourself,' and if I ever do have any feelings about it then it's an opportunity to investigate the feeling underneath it,' she said in part. She also shared that 'when the 'online' world tries to make me a human piñata, I take it with grace and send them love, cause I know so many people are hurting in so many ways and the internet is very much so a dumping ground for unhinged and unhealed.' 'What's real is seeing your faces every night, singing in unison, reading your notes, feeling your warmth,' Perry concluded, referring to connecting with fans in ways other than at her shows.

Fiction: ‘Twelve Post-War Tales' by Graham Swift
Graham Swift offers the title of his third collection of short stories, 'Twelve Post-War Tales,' in an egalitarian spirit. The characters include ex-soldiers and war orphans but also teachers, miners, maids and other working-class Britons who know of battlefields only from textbooks and newsreels. Even these civilians, suggests Mr. Swift, have been shaped by war's carnage. Everyone lives in a postwar world. The stories layer small, private dramas over what a character calls 'the big events of history.' In 'Fireworks' a father debates whether to postpone his daughter's wedding after the outbreak of the Cuban Missile Crisis. 'Zoo' takes place on Sept. 11, 2001, but dwells less on the terrorist attacks than on the quotidian duties of a London housekeeper and nanny. 'Where were you when?' she knows people will ask her. At the monkey exhibition explaining the facts of life to her employer's young son. A long shadow of grief looms over the tales, no matter their distance from war. 'Beauty' is a wonderful story—both heartbreaking and generous—about a bereft old man's visit to the college dorm room where his granddaughter died by suicide. In 'Hinges' a brother and sister are tongue-tied as they try to describe their father to the minister who will eulogize him. 'They didn't know what to say about their father whom they'd known all their lives. They were curiously at a loss. At a loss. Exactly.' Loss is an imaginative wellspring for this author, whose fiction includes the 1996 Booker Prize-winner, 'Last Orders,' which relates the journey of three World War II veterans to scatter a friend's ashes. Mr. Swift's writing is fluent and colloquial. The characters in this collection share their thoughts and memories with the reader as though with a close friend, and the warmth of their confidences balances against their sadness. We feel we've been in the trenches with them, even when a story has gone no farther than the living room.
