Roar interested in bringing young gun home
Brisbane Roar have expressed an interest in bringing former Adelaide United defender Giuseppe Bovalina back to the A-League, and also haven't ruled out convincing winger Nikola Mileusnic to rejoin the club. Roar insiders have confirmed that both Bovalina and Mileusnic are in the club's sights. Bovalina, 20, joined Major League Soccer Club Vancouver Whitecaps in April last year from the Reds on an initial contract that will expire in 2026. However, Bovalina is struggling for game time, and could be tempted to kickstart his career at the Roar under the club's new coach, former Adelaide captain Michael Valkanis. Another former Red in Mileusnic left the Roar after three seasons to join Perth Glory last year. His Glory contract expires this month, and having started in only nine A-League games for Perth in the club's dismal 2024-25 campaign, a return to Brisbane could very well be on the cards for the 31-year-old attacking weapon, particularly with Valkanis having replaced Ruben Zadkovich as coach. Meanwhile, former Roar playmaker Keegan Jelacic has signed a two-year deal with Melbourne Victory. Jelacic, 22, left the Roar last month after joining the club on loan from Belgian outfit Gent in January last year. The Australian under-23 international has now parted ways with Gent permanently to link with the Victory, who have lost the past two A-League grand finals. 'Joining one of the biggest clubs in the league is always an exciting prospect,' Jelacic said. 'I'm looking forward to experiencing the passion of the club and doing my part on the pitch.' Victory coach Arthur Diles said Jelacic was an 'example of outstanding young Australian talent with valuable experience both locally and internationally'. 'Keegan's arrival at the club ahead of our 2025-26 campaign will bolster our midfield as we aim to go one better than we did last season,' Diles said. 'We have a strong foundation to build on, and we're looking forward to seeing Keegan bring his best to the team and contribute to our success.'

Orlando Bloom Was 'Frustrated' With Katy Perry's Space Trip As He Allegedly Didn't 'Approve' Of It Amid Tensions
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom were reportedly not on the same page regarding her recent all-female trip to space. This revelation comes amid reports suggesting the couple is going through a rough patch in their relationship. Sources now claim Orlando Bloom "did not approve" of the trip and was "frustrated" and "disappointed" by Katy Perry's decision to embark on it regardless. Several cracks seem to have formed in Perry and Bloom's romance amid reports that their relationship has ended. Following her 11-minute all-female space trip on Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin spacecraft, Perry gushed in a radio interview that her fiancé, Bloom, was "all about the journey." However, a source has now revealed that the "Pirates of the Caribbean" actor "did not approve" of it as he never thought "going on the mission was a good idea." Speaking to The U.S. Sun, the insider went further to explain that Bloom "knew she would get backlash" from the mission and was "frustrated" and "disappointed" with her decision to take part in it. "From day one, Orlando didn't think going on the Blue Origin mission was a good idea, and knew she would face backlash," the source said. "He always thought it was a stupid idea, and she wouldn't get anything positive out of it." The "Roar" hitmaker joined the all-female crew comprising Aisha Bowe, Lauren Sanchez, Kerianne Flynn, Gayle King, and Amanda Nguyen for the April 15 flight despite her fiancé's alleged reservations. While en route, she held up a daisy seemingly in a bid to honor her and Bloom's daughter, Daisy. Upon her return, she stopped to kiss the ground, but was ridiculed by many who thought the trip was "unnecessary" and her actions afterwards were "dramatic." Even celebrities, such as Emily Ratajkowski and Olivia Munn, didn't hold back with their criticisms of the all-female space trip. "That space mission this morning. That's end time sh-t. This is beyond parody," Ratajkowski fumed. "Saying that you care about Mother Earth and it's about Mother Earth and you're going up in a spaceship that is built and paid for by a company that's single-handedly destroying the planet?" "Look at the state of the world and think about how many resources went into putting these women into space. For what? What was the marketing there?" She added. It appears Bloom has reached his breaking point amid the underlying tensions in his relationship, with a source sharing that the actor needs space from Perry. The disagreements between them are said to have made the "Lord of the Rings" actor believe Perry "doesn't take him seriously." "He has been frustrated that his opinion is not being taken seriously or even heard," the source continued. "He feels she is a different person lately." According to the news outlet, the insider also confirmed rumors that the pair have hit a "rough patch" in their relationship and are now leading separate lives. The 48-year-old actor has repeatedly been spending time alone and arrived without Perry at the "Deep Cover" premiere during the 2025 Tribeca Festival on June 10 in New York City. The negative and harsh criticism Perry has been facing seemingly took a toll on her and their relationship, as a source told Page Six that "it's over" between them and they "are waiting till her tour is over before they split." The underwhelming reception of her recent album, "143," also didn't help matters, as the project was critically panned, which seemingly resulted in low ticket sales at some of her tour's venues. A source told People Magazine that the poor reception to her album negatively affected her and caused "some tension" in her relationship with Bloom. "Katy was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album," a source told the news outlet. "It made her very stressed. Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension." "She was also disappointed in some of the tour reviews. It's put stress on their relationship," another source said. Perry is currently on her Lifetimes world tour, which began on April 23 and runs through December 7. Perry and Bloom's relationship has faced challenging times before, following their split in 2017. Addressing the breakup in a 2024 appearance on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast, the "Teenage Dreams" singer said both of them "weren't really in it from day one." "He was because he had just done a huge time of celibacy, and he had set intentions," Perry continued. "I was fresh out of a relationship, and I was like, I can't do this anymore. I need to swim in a different pond, but I had to do a lot of real work." In 2023, Bloom also addressed the challenges he and Perry faced in their relationship, insinuating that their different career paths could be a factor in the issues they have encountered. "We're in two very different pools [for their work]. Her pool is not a pool that I necessarily understand, and I think my pool is not a pool that she necessarily understands," Bloom told Flaunt. The "Lord Of The Rings" actor continued: "Sometimes things are really, really, really challenging. I won't lie. We definitely battle with our emotions and creativity." "I think we're both aware of how blessed we are to have uniquely connected in the way that we did at the time that we did. And there's definitely never a dull moment," he added.

Stage invader shocks Katy Perry at Sydney concert
Katy Perry has been shocked by a fan jumping on stage and grabbing her during a concert in Sydney. The star was singing her 2008 hit Hot N Cold during a gig in the Australian city on Monday when a man crashed the stage and put his arm around her. As seen in a video shared by fans on X, Perry quickly moved out of his reach as he kept jumping and dancing. Two security guards then rushed the stage, while the man tried to avoid them. "Well, there's never going to be another show like this. So just enjoy it, Sydney," Perry quipped. She kept performing, while security were able to pull the man to the side stage, where two more members of security helped forcibly removed him. While this incident was real, it follows a promotional skit in May when Perry halted a gig to tell a fan to stop messaging her fiancé Orlando Bloom. During the US leg of her Lifetimes world tour, the Roar hitmaker paused her gig in Paradise, Nevada to single out an audience member named Kyle. While addressing Kyle over private messages allegedly sent to her partner, Katy crouched on stage and told him: "I know why you're here. Listen, if you keep DM-ing my man ... you've been doing it for months, ever since the residency. You didn't come to see me play." As the audience reacted with laughter and cheers, she continued: "If you keep on DM-ing my man I'm going to have you removed - seriously, get your own life." The confrontation was later revealed to be a scripted segment of the performance, leading into her 2024 single I'm His, He's Mine.

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom 'waiting to announce their secret split'
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are reportedly set to split after almost a decade together, with the couple said to have already called off their engagement Singer Katy Perry and British actor Orlando Bloom are reportedly on the verge of splitting up. The couple, who share 5-year-old daughter Daisy Dove, are said to have ended their engagement but are holding off announcing the sad news until Katy has concluded her world tour. The Roar hitmaker, who was once married to Russell Brand, began dating the Pirates of the Caribbean in 2016 and the pair got engaged in 2019, the year before they welcomed their daughter into the world. But after almost a decade together, it's claimed the famous pair have decided to call it quits following a tough few months professionally for Katy. The mum-of-one, 40, suffered humiliation when her latest studio album was panned by critics, and her recent trip to space also saw the I Kissed A Girl singer slammed by many. An insider claims Katy's album 143 flopping impacted her relationship, with the source noting: "Orlando was supportive, but it caused some tension." PageSix reports that Katy and Orlando are waiting until her current tour, Lifetimes, concludes on December 7, before making their split public news. "It's over," said the source. "They're just waiting until the tour is done before they split." The Mirror has contacted representatives for Katy and Orlando for comment on this story. Despite rumours of a separation, Orlando was on hand to support Katy during her space venture in April. Katy kissed the ground and held a flower in the air as she returned from her Blue Origin trip to space and revealed she will write a song about the experience. The 40-year-old sang Louis Armstrong's What A Wonderful World as she and the six-woman crew, also made up of CBS Mornings presenter Gayle King, former rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, astronaut Amanda Nguyen and film producer Kerianne Flynn and Jeff Bezos's partner Lauren Sanchez, entered space. A video of the crew was shared by Blue Origin on Twitter showing the six women as they reached zero gravity and were able to float around the spacecraft before looking at the camera and saying in unison, 'taking up space'. Katy is also seen holding a daisy which she later held to the air after emerging from Bezos's New Shepard NS-31, to honour her daughter Daisy, before kissing the floor, and Bezos then congratulated her to which she replied: 'Thank you.' Speaking after her return to Earth, the Roar singer said: "I feel super connected to love, so connected to love. I think this experience has shown me you never know how much love is inside of you, like how much love you have to give and how loved you are until the day you launch.' Speaking about the tribute to her daughter, Katy explained: 'Daisies are common flowers, but they grow through any condition, they go through cement, they go through cracks, they go through walls, they are resilient. They are powerful, they are strong, they are everywhere. "Flowers are to me, god's smile, but it's also a reminder of our beautiful Earth and the flowers here, and god's smile and the beautiful magic that is everywhere, all around us and even in a simple daisy. So to really appreciate it and remember it and take care of it, protect it.'
