ACTOR Orlando Bloom will “make his debut as a single man” at Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’ wedding amid rumours of a split from Katy Perry, sources claimed last night.
Brit star Bloom, 48, is expected to attend Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s big day without US singer Perry, 40, who is on tour in Australia.

But The Sun’s website reported this week the pair, who have a daughter, four, have held crisis talks to try to save their nine-year relationship after leading increasingly separate lives.
Billionaire Bezos, 61, is due to marry telly host Sanchez, 55, during a three-day celebration in Venice this week.
American news website TMZ said Pirates Of The Caribbean star Bloom would be “the life of the party” and that he would be hitting “the dancefloor hard” when he arrives in Italy for the nuptials.
An insider said: “No one has decided it’s definitely the end of the road for Katy and Orlando.”
“They both love each other, but they have been living different lives for at least a year and in different mindsets.”
It’s understood Orlando and Katy are planning on reuniting on July 4 when there is a break in her touring schedule.
The insider added: “They have barely been together for a decent amount of time, without distractions, for many, many months.”
Tensions within their relationship also reached boiling point after Katy’s flight to space on board Jeff’s Blue Origin.
Katy, along with Lauren and Gayle King, were hit with a public backlash and those close to Orlando said he had warned Katy about taking part.
They said: “From day one, Orlando didn’t think going on the Blue Origin mission was a good idea, and knew she would face a backlash.”

The publicist and dancer had been backpacking though Southeast AsiaJuliana and her pal Federica joked about the cloud covered view at the top of Mount RinjaniThe 26-year-old survived the fall but was unable to climb back up due to her injuries
The Brazilian national, who was a publicist and dancer from Niterói, near Rio de Janeiro, was trapped for four days after she fell while trekking up Indonesia’s second-highest volcano.
She had been backpacking through Southeast Asia since February, documenting her solo trip on social media.
In heartbreaking footage, shared by a pal she met along her travels, Juliana could be seen joking and dancing in the days before her death.
More clips showed the adventurous 26-year-old showing off the stunning vistas while riding on mopeds.
Other shots revealed the dancer jumping into picturesque sinkholes and exploring caverns.
In a tragic last video, Juliana and her friend Frederica, jibed about the view at the top of Mount Rinjani as it had been concealed by cloud cover.
“I met Juliana the day before the trip. We were both traveling alone. We made it all the way to the top. It was very difficult. We climbed about 1,500 meters,” Federica told G1 after the horror.
In the clip Federica says sarcastically: “The view is amazing, you can tell it was so worth it.”
Juliana jokes: “Yeh, we did it for the view, so I’m glad, amazing!”.
This comes as distressing drone footage was also released which revealed Juliana trapped in a pit on the volcano as rescuers tried to reach her.
Tourists on the Indonesian island of Lombok spotted her inside the crater after hearing screams for help.
Juliana survived the fall but was unable to climb back up due to her injuries and had no access to food, water or shelter.
The first rescue team was dispatched at 2.32pm local time on Saturday.
After the initial alarm was raised, six more rescue teams tried to reach her.
They were supported by two helicopters and equipment including an industrial drill.
Cold temperatures and fog made search efforts on Sunday harder to navigate but a drone was able to locate Juliana.

However, when rescuers descended the volcano on Monday, she was no longer in the same spot.
Rescuers finally located her on Tuesday, but it was tragically too late.
Her family confirmed her death on social media, writing: “Today, the rescue team managed to reach the place where Juliana Marins was.
“With great sadness, we inform you that she did not survive.
“We remain very grateful for all the prayers, messages of affection and support that we have received.”
Earlier this week, Nikolas Osman, spokesperson for the East Lombok Police, said Juliana was hiking in a group and fell after suffering fatigue.
He said: “While heading to the summit of Rinjani on the way to the Cemara Tunggal area, the victim experienced fatigue and the guide at that time advised her to rest.
“Then the five guests in the tour group were taken by the guide to continue the journey.
“However, by the time he returned to fetch her, the Brazilian woman was already missing.”
Indonesian authorities deployed three helicopters to try and rescue Juliana, according to West Nusa Tenggara governor Lalu Muhamad Iqbal.
Iqbal told reporters: “One helicopter from the Indonesian Armed Forces and national search and rescue agency (Basarnas) is expected to arrive at Zainuddin Abdul Madjid International Airport (BIZAM) around 2pm local time today.”
Before the incident, Juliana had visited Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines.

PRINCE William yesterday declared saving the planet is a “team game”.
He told a Climate Week gathering his Earthshot prize is aimed at preserving “all the things we as human beings care about”.
EPARio’s mayor Eduoardo Paes led criticism of US President Donald Trump’s green credentials during a panel discussion[/caption]
Every year this decade the Prince of Wales awards £1million to each of five winners working to save the planet.
He explained: “Everything we want to do here starts with a team game.
“And the prize is just the pinnacle of the ability to showcase all the brilliant people around working in this space.”
Wills told the audience at Bloomberg’s London HQ: “It takes a village to raise a family.
“If you take that into the concept of a planet, it takes all of us to raise that planet.”
It was announced this year’s Earthshot awards will be in Brazil’s Rio de Janeiro in November.
But with Wills in the audience Rio’s mayor Eduoardo Paes led criticism of the US President’s green credentials during a panel discussion.
Speaking about investing in green initiatives, Paes said: “Local governments, we don’t want to do any politics here, but we saw what Donald Trump did in his first term.
“If it was not for the local governments, for the mayors, the US would be in big trouble.”
Also during the panel Michael Bloomberg, ex-New York mayor, said: “I’m lucky enough to have known [the Prince of Wales] for a long time and his father and I think the UK is very well served.”
He added that while there was “good reason to be optimistic” about the state of the planet, “America has not been doing its share lately.”

1 week agoBlogsComments Off on How nepo baby offspring of Britpop stars are leading re-birth of Cool Britannia – but one key part won’t be coming back
COOL Britannia is back – and that’s official.
High society bible Tatler is among those making the declaration on its new edition, which features the offspring of Nineties music legends Liam Gallagher and Richard Ashcroft.
GettyLove Island host Maya Jama recreates Liz Hurley’s iconic 1994 dress[/caption]

Heralding the rebirth of the Britpop-era movement, the magazine pictures Molly Moorish-Gallagher and musician Sonny Ashcroft proudly standing in front of a giant Union Jack.
Anyone over the age of 40 is likely to spot the obvious homage being paid to a similar front cover published by Vanity Fair in 1997.
That iconic picture saw Oasis singer Liam sharing a bed with his then girlfriend, actress Patsy Kensit.
The couple married a few months later when Oasis were arguably the biggest music stars of the decade.
And it is no coincidence the new magazine cover comes just days before the Oasis reunion tour, which will have Richard Ashcroft as the support act.
But Tatler did not go for another “power couple”, like Liam and Patsy were, and instead took the nepo baby route.
But as the new faces of Cool Britannia take centre stage, it’s less champagne supernova, more alcohol-free explosion.
Tatler
However, editors still think the duo are living proof of a second coming.
“They’re the next generation of Britpop: Molly Moorish-Gallagher and Sonny Ashcroft are gracing the cover of Tatler as their fathers, Liam Gallagher and Richard Ashcroft, prepare for an earth-shattering Oasis reunion.

The piece continues: “She is the daughter of Lisa Moorish and Liam Gallagher; he is the eldest son of Richard Ashcroft and Kate Radley.
“Together, they are the new faces of the (Br)it crowd.
“But what do the pair make of Cool Britannia 2.0?”
It turns out that neither of the nepo babies shares their parents’ hellraising ways, and the revival will not be based around downing pints of lager or being “chained to the mirror and the razor blade”, as Oasis once sang.
Sonny proudly tells the magazine he’s not one for a night out.
He said: “I’m very much a night-in person.
Seeing friends, some good food and drinks and playing games of some kind.

“A nice meal with friends and then gathering over some sort of board game or film at home.”
While Molly says her idea of a wild night is: “Seeing friends, some good food and drinks and playing games of some kind.”
But if the Cool Britannia nepo kids aren’t keeping the Nineties hedonistic vibe going, it seems Gen Z-ers are keeping the momentum going through fashion.
Love Island host Maya Jama recently recreated Liz Hurley’s famous Versace safety pin dress that she wore to the Four Weddings And A Funeral premiere in 1994.
Singers Dua Lipa and Lola Young have been inspired by other huge names of the Nineties in their fashion choices.
And Liam’s son Lennon was pretty much an identikit copy of his dad when he attended a Burberry pub takeover last week.
A new study has also revealed that youngsters are now huge fans of some of the decade’s greatest hairstyles, including The Rachel from Friends, the floppy hair of actor Johnny Depp and Victoria Beckham’s Posh bob.

The study, commissioned by Funkin Cocktails, also found a fondness for Doc Marten boots and baggy jeans, famously sported by the likes of Mark Wahlberg when he was rapper Marky Mark.
Ashley Birch-Ruffell, from Funkin Cocktails, said: “Nineties fashion is very on trend, and it’s fun to see what our official favourite styles are.
“There are clearly many iconic hairstyles and memorable moments from this decade that live on in the public consciousness.
“It seems clear that Nineties trends aren’t going anywhere anytime soon — and why would we want them to?”
“It’s clear that the whole culture of the Nineties is still considered unapologetically iconic.”
Gen Z can’t match our hellraising era
IT was a sensational whirl of bucket hats, Union Jacks, lads’ mags, boozy bands and more than a whiff of the old marching powder, writes Rod McPhee.
The late Nineties were a hellraising golden age not seen since the Swinging Sixties.
But despite being due another period of partying, I’m sorry to say we’ll never quite be able to match the magic of the original Cool Britannia.
Trust me, I was there, I did it. I got the T-shirt – and the dodgy Liam Gallagher shaggy haircut
What’s more, I loved it all. From music to fashion, and movies to models, the run-up to the year 2000 was the perfect blend of sex and, yes, drugs, plus lashings of rock ’n’ roll.
Of course, it’s great to get a taste of the good old days when Oasis stage their comeback tour next week, plus there’s the prospect of the Spice Girls doing a similar celebratory event next year.
But nothing can once again live up to a period in modern pop culture history which I believe was genuinely unique. Maybe I’m looking back at the past through rose-tinted glasses.
But no pop groups, artists, catwalk stars or actors these days come close to the tearaway Primrose Hill crowd that kept us entertained and shocked three decades ago.
That said, no one would love reliving some of the brilliance of the Nineties more than me.

One fan said: “This means she is defo Patchwork!”
Another added: “This post all but confirms it!”

CHELSEA fans slammed the club for “exploiting” supporters with ticket and membership price rises.
The Chelsea Supporters’ Trust will be joining the #StopExploitingLoyalty campaign after a member survey saw near 90 per cent vote in favour of it.

Blues fans are reeling from a triple whammy of season ticket hikes, a new £60 “priority” membership and new booking fees on every seat.
The Football Supporters’ Association launched the campaign last year.
And a CST spokesperson said: “Chelsea FC is alienating a large part of our core fanbase.
“This should be a huge wake-up call to the owners and senior leadership team within the club.
“Not only is it ethically wrong to exploit the loyalty of the lifeblood of our club but it is strategically short-sighted.”
Chelsea have been approached for comment.
But they are not the own fanbase fuming at clubs over price hikes.

The “years-old” red trousers featured with a flush front and two pockets on either side.
To round off her outfit, Muireann popped on a pair of red skinny strapped heels that she showed off to fans with the flick of her foot.

She captioned her stylish post: “Good morning! Ok. This look is not gonna be for everyone!
“Talented Irish designer @taragarveytg sent me a beautiful jumper- the feel- so I hooshed it up and stuck it in my bra. Thanks Tara.”
Friends and fans raced to the presenter’s comment section to gush over her sense of style.
