Orlando Bloom is The Running Man

Orlando Bloom is The Running Man

Orlando Bloom joins a few mystery male friends for lunch at Sunset Plaza in West Hollywood the Sunday after Thanksgiving.

The British hunk must have been running late because after lunch, Orly made a mad dash for his car.

Victoria’s Secret angel Miranda Kerr has reportedly denied rumors that she is romancing Orlando.

The 24-year-old supermodel told Australian TV show, A Current Affair: “Well … you know, we’re friends and he’s a nice guy … he’s a sweetheart.”

“My whole life, I’ve pretty much had a boyfriend so far,” she added. “So it’s good for me right now to have some time for me.”

Has Kerr-bloom already gone ka-boom?

It’s just too bad that Orlando doesn’t seem to be having much luck in finding a long term, loyal, decent and loving partner

+++++++++++

Oh but he does. Don’t worry your pretty little heads.

#75: I agree. Personally I don’t think there’s a whole lot of anything serious happening. Hooking up, friends w/bennies. Whatever. However, the only reason any of us have anything to talk about is Miranda Kerr and her amateurish agent. It’s pathetic.

He looks a bit down because of the paparazzi, I’ll be pissed too if I was followed by a bunch of losers who take pictures of me while I’m eating.

sure truth @ 11/27/2007 at 4:46 pm

#76, oh yeah, I’m sure you are an insider that post here and you know exactly what is going on.
If you meant Miranda Kerr there is no way in hell those words describe her.Decent people don’t hang out with greasy bear and loyal people don’t talk to the press about you all the time.

NOT THE TRUTH @ 11/27/2007 at 5:02 pm

TRUTH is a pathological liar, he doesn’t know a damn thing about Orlando’s life.
He’s just a loser, don’t pay attention to him and his stupid post.

sweet angel @ 11/27/2007 at 5:40 pm

he’s all scruffy that’s so sweet.

sure truth @ 11/27/2007 at 5:50 pm

#80 so how do you know its a he?

NOT THE TRUTH @ 11/27/2007 at 6:19 pm

HA HA HA I don’t know why but it sounds like a pretentious guy but it can be a stupid girl though even if I’m sure that I saw one on his stupid post somewhere I can be wrong SO:

TRUTH is a pathological liar, he/she doesn’t know a damn thing about Orlando’s life.
He/she’s just a loser, don’t pay attention to him/her and his/her stupid post.
happy now !!! HA HA

Just leave him alone, you crazy people Orly is not dating her ;I think he’s single at the moment.

just wondering @ 11/27/2007 at 7:19 pm

I’m wondering why Miranda didn’t ask her friend Pottsy to make a statement if he really didn’t say those things from last week.
I would think he would want to clear both of their names of it since it was pretty serious stuff. He could have spoke through Miranda’s agent or something so people would know it was official.It isn’t like they are the type to be above talking to the media so they can’t claim that path.

I have a bad feeling about this whole situation. If her PR people go public try and sell this ‘great new romance’ in the press over here I hope people shout it from the roof tops that they know its all BS.
If it turns out those pictures from x17 show what they seem to show I hope it won’t get pushed under the rug. Sadly, it kind of makes sense since why would she even have been asked to go to the Atelier in April since she really wasn’t famous then.She already had an apartment of her own as well.

If those things are true than it takes a very selfish and coldhearted person to do that to someone else consistently over a long period of time.Unfortunately that would mean Orlando was in the category as well. I hope that isn’t the case.

There is some chatter on another site about how people and possibly media sources are checking into it all. I know Orlando never talks to the press about this kind of thing but this time there are so many negative rumors and his reputation is going downhill quick. I think he should give an interview and talk about alot of these things-even things from the accident that people still have qustions about.

Just Wondering: NO ONE F**CKING CARES! A few crazy fans talking and making crap up doesn’t mean anyone is taking this seriously. Get a freaking clue and a freaking life.

Also, deal with the fact that Orlando isn’t with Miranda, therefore it doesn’t freaking matter!

just wondering @ 11/27/2007 at 8:37 pm

Wow, you sound defensive #86!

Those comments sure weren’t made by fans-thats for sure.No ‘fan’
would write anything like that.
Thr Perez comment is the only part that might be made up.
The pictures are not fake- and I wouldn’t be so fast to say people aren’t looking into it.You definetly don’t know that for sure!

And I’m sure you know for a fact they aren’t together-even though Ted Casablanca and many other claim to have seen otherwise. But I’m sure you really have the scoop anyway.

way to lose the sexiness, Orly…..so so sad. I crushed on this man so much & now I can’t even see why….shame

HEY ORLANDO’S FANS: Orlando is actually in Japan with Cher Coulter his friend and his stylist I’m sure they are going to a buddhist retreat.
MIRANDA IS NOT WITH HIM HOW STRANGE!!!!

One day you people are going to realize how weird it is to discuss in detail this man’s private life, girlfriends and whereabouts. One day you will realize how completely crazy you sound and stop. One day. I hope soon.

He looks a little tired and not as cute but he can’t stay pretty forever I guess.

Oh shut up, Morgan it’s a free blog here if you’re not happy with this fact then go away. I’m sure your boyfriend (if you got one) is a hot piece who never get tired.
Well I’m not sure now you sound more like a frustrated bit*** to me.

strange indeed @ 11/28/2007 at 9:21 am

Why is everyone saying its a buddhist retreat just because from one picture on tmz it looks like he might be going to Japan with Cher? How do we even know that Cher is Buddhist as well.However if he is going for that-maybe he is trying to do a Karma Cleanse since he seems so dogged by bad Karma lately.

awwww Cher is such a supportive friend, I like her. I hope that he will be back more relax and happy becauce I LOVE him.

Poor #91 You must fit the description of the weird people I was describing for you to get all bent out of shape. Carry on I have faith you will come to your senses one day.

♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡ Orlando is the hottest man alive and always will be, he’s got such a beautiful face.

Personally speaking, I wouldn’t assume that Orlando is leaving the States based on photos of him with Cher at LAX. He may or may not be, and in either case, he’s missing his carry-on luggage in those shots. The only thing he does seem to have is his constant companion: his mobile. If he IS actually leaving for Japan, which I strongly doubt, I do hope he spends some time ALONE somewhere and shuts the world (and the paparazzi) out for several weeks. Some intense introspection and thinking would probably do him good. Glad he shaved & got his hair cut. Looks better.

A couple of weeks ago, there was a really long thread on x-17 about Orlando, and after reading through the comments, the one post that really stuck in my mind was the one in which a person called Orlando a “social climber” and said that he is NOTHING like the man he once was, or that he wasn’t the man he appeared to be. It was something to the effect that he was either misrepresenting himself with his PR or that he has greatly changed over the past few years. I found that post and other negative observations made very sad. We really don’t know any of these actors and celebrities, but if people have spent years in an actor’s fandom or have watched him or her over the years, they sometimes form some interesting opinions and make some interesting observations. I respect their opinions, even if I don’t agree with them all.

If Orlando is in fact a “social climber”, then it stands to reason that he will date up or will only choose those women who can help his image or his career, or at least keep him in the public eye when he isn’t working. It would also give rise to the possibility that he dated Kate because of her connections with Jerry Bruckheimer (I read that he’s a family friend?), and I would find that rather sad. I guess I’m an optimist and an old fashioned romantic at heart and would rather not believe those things, but realistically speaking, it undoubtedly goes on all the time. People use each other and rely heavily on hype and PR in that industry, so anything is possible.

If Orlando can’t - or won’t - keep his girlfriends away from cameras and paparazzi, and he can’t keep their names out of the tabloids, and he chooses girlfriends among actresses and models, it stands to reason that he may well like, want and need certain forms of attention, and he may NOT be all about privacy. He might be totally unconscious of this, or fully aware of it.

He did once mention in an interview (Elle from 2003?) that he “always wanted to be the next big something.” That was quite a contrast from the Orlando Bloom who, back in early 2002, claimed he was so grateful for having worked in LOTR and that if he did nothing else in his career, it was cool because he was in “f***ing Lord of the Rings, man!”

Sadly, people sometimes change in ways that are NOT for the better. Money, fame, and celebrity status can do things to a person. So, it’s possible that Orlando has changed in some not so favorable ways (according to some people’s tastes), and it’s possible that he never was the man he appeared to be in his early interviews and earlier in his career. I just found the whole concept of “social climber” and “he’s lied repeatedly” a very, very interesting one. I wonder how happy he’d be pulling a Matt Damon and quietly finding someone and keeping her away from the public eye for the most part, and eventually secretly getting married. Not to mention not getting any publicity out of his relationship with her, and she being in the same boat - as in NO PUBLICITY FROM HIM! At this point, some would say that such a scenario with Bloom is highly unlikely.

Either way @ 11/28/2007 at 1:58 pm

oooba just because all we see is one photo doesn’t mean he wasn’t going anywhere. Believe me, I know TMZ is not the wall street journal and could have got it wrong, but I can also see that maybe his things were just not in that particular shot they used. He may have been helping her unload or something. Just saying it could be anything. Maybe TMZ thought that since they were in the departures and not arrival section of the airport. Again, not the wall street journal here or anything but I think they must have got Japan from something that was done that we didn’t see from the one picture they used. Could go either way.

Either way @ 11/28/2007 at 2:39 pm

actually, oooba if you go to olove you will see a lot more pictures that show him at the airport. It seems he was traveling as well. Although he didn’t have baggage he got out of the back seat of a car and was at the ticket counter. If he was just dropping her off I doubt if there was someone else with them (the driver) he would have needed to go in. So it seems he is off to Japan.

No offense to anyone but comments at blogs like this one or X17 are not credible. No one has any idea what Orlando wants, what is in his head. What proof is there he’s any of the things any of the commenters say he is. A social climber? In what way can anyone prove this? Because he is linked to actresses or models? Him and pretty much everyone else in Hollywood. He said so himself, he can’t stand near someone without being linked to them. Anything else is speculation, hearsay or flat out bullsh*t.

Why take it seriously at all? These people spinning their theories are basing them off of the same thing everyone else reads and sees. And they come up with a story in their heads. It’s fan fiction just as surely as thinking Orlando is a perfect angel that does no wrong is fan fiction. No one but Orlando and the people close to him know the truth. But give me one concrete bit of fact that he is a social climber or any of the other things people call him and we can start there. An actor dating or being linked to another famous person is hardly proof of that. Or are we going to call every single actor in Hollywood a social climber. These people are in his social circle, they are who he is going to interact with. It has nothing to do with social climbing.

Only his close friends/family would know if he’s the way he once was. I guarantee none of us know the real him.


if people have spent years in an actor’s fandom or have watched him or her over the years, they sometimes form some interesting opinions and make some interesting observations. I respect their opinions, even if I don’t agree with them all.

But that is all they are, opinions. There are no facts. Especially if we’re talking about Orlando’s personal life. People are making assumptions. And to treat them as evidence of any moral or personality failings is unfair.


If Orlando can’t - or won’t - keep his girlfriends away from cameras and paparazzi, and he can’t keep their names out of the tabloids

Please give me an example of how Orlando himself has failed to keep his girlfriends away from the cameras. Considering his only “official” girlfriend was Kate don’t you think that’s a completely unfair statement to make? Gossip and speculation and comments from other people don’t count.

And for the record about Jerry Bruckheimer, Orlando got the part long before he met Kate. To imply dating her was helping him with Bruckheimer/Pirates is wrong.

Can you produce this quote because I don’t remember it at all. When he talks today about his success he still sounds very humble and grateful for his chances.

Sadly, people sometimes change in ways that are NOT for the better. Money, fame, and celebrity status can do things to a person. So, it’s possible that Orlando has changed in some not so favorable ways (according to some people’s tastes), and it’s possible that he never was the man he appeared to be in his early interviews and earlier in his career. I just found the whole concept of “social climber” and “he’s lied repeatedly” a very, very interesting one.

You have no proof. No real evidence that he’s changed or lied in any way. It might be an interesting theory but there’s nothing to support it. Nothing real in the way of facts at least.

And not for nothing, if he’s lying so much, if he’s dissembling and showing us a totally different person from who he’s pretended to be then maybe he’s even more different than any of you think.
