Orlando Bloom undergoes 10k treatment to remove toxic chemicals
Bang Showbiz | Los Angeles Orlando Bloom has undergone a £10k treatment to remove toxic chemicals from his blood. The 48-year-old actor shared a photo of himself at Clarify Clinic on Monday (09.06.25) where he underwent the two-hour procedure, which can reduce inflammation by removing microplastics, chemicals and toxins from your blood. He wrote alongside the Instagram snap: 'Thanks for the help @clarifyclinics - a new way of removing microplastics and toxic chemicals from our bodies.' The cost of a single session of the procedure - which removes the unwanted elements using CE marked Clari by Marker - starts at £9,750. On the Clarify Clinics website, the organisation explains: 'Your plasma is gently separated from your red and white blood cells in a process called apheresis. 'The plasma is then passed through our safe and effective CE marked Clari column. The damaging substances like microplastics, forever chemicals, and inflammatory proteins are captured and removed. 'Unlike Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE) nothing is added to your plasma during this process. 'This means your plasma retains your unique and critical immune balance, electrolytes, clotting factors and cell signaling. 'After the harmful substances are removed, your clean plasma and blood cells are recombined before being returned to you.' Orlando's fiancee Katy Perry recently admitted to her fans in Australia that she'd been struggling with jet lag, particularly because their four-year-old daughter Daisy had been waking her up at 5am. However, she joked any visible signs of tiredness weren't there because she'd had the wrinkle-smoothing injections. She told the crowd: 'You can't tell I'm tired because I got fresh Botox for Australia!' It isn't the first time Katy has confessed to having Botox treatments. Last month, a satirical headline by the Onion joked Katy would be releasing a song called Stop Making Fun of Me alongside a photo of Katy taken in Melbourne last year. She quipped on Instagram in response: 'This photo is clearly photoshopped I would never let my Botox go that long, do better The Onion!'

Bitcoin-Based Stablecoin Network Plasma Raises Deposit Cap to $1B, Gets Filled in 30 Minutes
Stablecoin-focused blockchain Plasma raised its deposit cap to $1 billion early Thursday — and hit that limit within 30 minutes. The new cap marks a doubling from the prior $500 million ceiling, which had itself been raised just days earlier following a community-driven outcry over bot activity and rapid sellout times. Plasma said the short-notice announcement was designed to give real users, such as those active in its Discord, a fairer shot at joining. But it's not a token sale just yet. 'Deposits are not the sale itself,' Plasma clarified in a post. 'All funds remain fully owned by depositors and will be bridged to Plasma mainnet beta.' Participants earn the right to buy into the eventual $50 million XPL public sale based on how many units they've locked up by the cutoff. The sale is valued at $500 million on a fully diluted basis. Earlier this week, the project — which aims to bring native stablecoin functionality to Bitcoin through an EVM-compatible sidechain — saw its initial $500 million cap fill in just five minutes, according to Arkham data. That figure was ten times what Plasma initially planned, indicative of massive investor appetite for stablecoin infrastructure. The team behind Plasma has positioned its chain as a way to sidestep Ethereum's high fees and congestion by building a zero-gas environment for stablecoin transactions while being anchored to Bitcoin's security model. USDT will be the first supported asset, with more expected to in to access your portfolio

Orlando Bloom undergoes $17k treatment to remove toxic chemicals from his blood, Entertainment News
Orlando Bloom has undergone a $10,000 pound (S$17,000) treatment to remove toxic chemicals from his blood. The 48-year-old actor shared a photo of himself at Clarify Clinic on Monday (June 9) where he underwent the two-hour procedure, which can reduce inflammation by removing microplastics, chemicals and toxins from your blood. He wrote alongside the Instagram snap: "Thanks for the help @clarifyclinics — a new way of removing microplastics and toxic chemicals from our bodies." The cost of a single session of the procedure — which removes the unwanted elements using CE marked Clari by Marker — starts at 9,750 pounds. On the Clarify Clinics website, the organisation explains: "Your plasma is gently separated from your red and white blood cells in a process called apheresis.

Plasma's XPL Token Sale Attracts $500M as Investors Chase Stablecoin Plays
Plasma, a crypto startup developing a blockchain optimized for stablecoins, attracted $500 million in deposits for its token sale on Monday — 10 times more than originally planned. The fundraising cap was filled in five minutes as investors scrambled to earn an allocation for the token distribution, according to blockchain data from Arkham Intelligence. The ceiling was lifted from $250 million, which had already been increased from a $50 million original target announced just two weeks ago. Over 1,100 wallets participated in the sale of Plasma's XPL token, with a median allocation of roughly $35,000, the company said in an X post. The offering was conducted on Sonar, a public token sale platform built by Echo, a crypto-focused private fundraising startup led by prominent investor Cobie. The outsized demand underscores surging investor interest in stablecoins — cryptocurrencies pegged to traditional currencies like the U.S. dollar — and the infrastructure that supports them. Stablecoins have become a dominant force in crypto, with total supply surpassing $250 billion, and are increasingly used for everyday finances like payments, remittances and savings. While Bitcoin BTC remains the oldest and most secure blockchain, most stablecoin activity today occurs on newer networks such as Ethereum, Tron, and Solana. Plasma aims to bring native stablecoin utility to Bitcoin by building a sidechain fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), the software standard that underpins much of decentralized finance. The team says the Plasma chain will address key challenges faced by stablecoins on existing blockchains — including high fees and scalability limits — by leveraging Bitcoin's security and enabling zero-fee transactions for Tether's USDT USDT. Plasma's fundraising follows a string of market signals pointing to rising appetite for stablecoin exposure. Just last week, Circle (CRCL), issuer of the $60 billion USDC stablecoin, completed a blockbuster public market debut, with shares surging over $110 from a $31 IPO price. "Circle up another 20% at the open and Plasma's $500M public token sale sold out in the first block. The people want exposure to stablecoins," crypto analyst Will Clemente posted.
