Perry splashes out on Bloom’s birthday bash

ORLANDO Bloom’s girlfriend Katy Perry, pictured, threw him a surprise party to celebrate his 40th birthday at the weekend – and the best part of the evening for the actor was when his mom arrived.

The Firework hit-maker delighted her boyfriend – who reached the milestone age on Friday – with a star-studded bash in Palm Springs, California, on Saturday at which they were joined by friends including Amanda De Cadenet, and Jennifer Aniston and her husband Justin Theroux.

But the highlight of the evening for the British actor was a surprise appearance by Bloom’s mother.

He shared a photograph of them embracing on Instagram and wrote: “Best gift ever surprise visit from me mum.”

Pictures shared on social media showed a number of the guests, including the Lord of the Rings star and his mother, who donned onesies printed with Bloom’s face for the celebration, but at one point, the actor and a number of his friends – including Theroux – stripped down to the waist and posed for topless pictures. The Roar singer – who showed off her new blonde locks at the bash – shared a video of the surprise party on her Instagram Story, which featured Bloom surrounded by his friends and family as he blew out the candles on his huge birthday cake, which was topped by a lifesized owl and had “Happy Birthday Lando” written on it. It was previously claimed the 32-year-old singer has hired a celebrity concierge service to plan 12 months of events to celebrate Bloom’s birthday. A source said recently: “Katy is determined to make this year the best ever and is not letting money get in the way. She wants a combination of holidays and a bucket list experience.” – Bang Media
