Orlando Bloom is a Motorcycle Man

Orlando Bloom is a Motorcycle Man

Orlando Bloom throws on his leather jacket and mounts a custom motorcycle before zooming down a street in Sydney, Australia on Wednesday.

Orly, 31, was spotted picking and choosing between a number of different custom motorcycles at Sydney’s bike store Deus Ex Machina.

Mr. Bloom is in town with his main squeeze, Australian ‘Victoria’s Secret’ angel Miranda Kerr.

Why, oh WHY is he always sexy at whatever he’s doing?! If he was reading the phonebook I’d sit there and watch him do so! Damn him and his sexiness!

Loved him is Lord of the rings!
HOT

God I hope he breaks his leg, i still cant get over what a jerk he has turned out to be, he must not have anything lined up cause if he did I would suspect that he wouldn’t be allowed to risk his limbs by driving around like an ******* on a bike and risking the production of a movie.

# 6

its always cool to see celebs driving themselves and especially on a bike! thats pretty cool. i’d wanna see someone like kimora freaking out on the back, id bet she would be fun to watch on one of those

@ 5. You’re so full of ****, Veronica, you don’t even know the man. He is obviously on a holiday in Australia, he is perfectly within his right to ride a motorbike if he wants to.

# 8

@7 Vik you don’t know the man either so shut it! Ever since I saw that car accident video of him my perception of him has changed dramatically and to top it off him allowing himself to be used by a underwear model just lowers my respect for the man even lower.

Also Vik if you knew anything about Hollywood you would know that a lot of stars have clauses written into their contracts forbidding them to do dangerous activities. Orlando is in his 30s not some young 20 something he should know the dangers of riding a motorcycle and how it can put any project he is lined up to do in danger if he gets hurt. What is all boils down to is selfishness, if he gets hurt he puts 100s of people out of work but he would rather risk it and look hip and young for his Underwear angel.

Is that Miranda’s dad?

Aw, you poor dear. You seem to be under the impression that I care.

#9 Is that Miranda’s dad?

——————————————

who knows, maybe. the man look like david latterman.

I checked it. It is not her dad but the guy behind him is the DJ bodyguard. Guess Miranda wasn’t joking! lol

There’s an interview with her (someone posted over OLove) where she proves she doesn;t like to talk about her private life. You gotta check it. ;D

his friends @ 05/01/2008 at 5:34 am

did anyone think we wouldn’t get pix today after what was said about Melbourne and her watching him? Conincidence? you decide.Did a poster yesterday say that they would drag him back to save face now asap?

Ellen, it doesn’t prove she doesn’t like to talk about it. She has just been told what a fool she looks like and she needs to shut it.
If she shuts up now you can’t change everything she done over the last several months.

Modelspice @ 05/01/2008 at 5:36 am

Okay, so he is now downgraded to being merely Miranda’s man?

his friends I was just ironic.. Her quote about her dad and Orlando. She wasn’t asked about him but told that. But she doesnt like to talk about it..

why is the security guard wearing the same clothes from last friday’s lunch

WOW。。Orli

WOW。。Orli

MOTORCYCLES @ 05/01/2008 at 6:40 am

He hasn’t signed any contracts for TRC yet. You see actors (CLOONEY PITT) out on motorcycles all the time. Its not a big deal.

I never could understand the helmet choices of celebrities. How come they b’tch about being followed by paps and being recognized, and then choose an open helmet? Wearing a closed, dark shaded helmet would be the best disguise. Why not choose that? Or maybe being snapped by paps is not such a bad thing, compared to, I don’t know, no one trying to snap your pix. Juss sayin’. No disrespect. :D

@20, agreed. It’s not even like he just started, and the bike he rides is not a donormaker. Although he is known to be accident prone. :D

she was being ironic chill dudes.

@veronica @ 05/01/2008 at 6:50 am

Please, he’s been doing dangerous things forever. It’s not about looking anyway for MK. He can’t live in a bubble and not have fun. Like the other poster said, lots of celebs ride bikes.

P.S. Before I get accused I’m no shipper or fan of MKs

@veronica @ 05/01/2008 at 6:53 am

Please, he’s been doing dangerous things forever. It’s not about looking anyway for MK. He can’t live in a bubble and not have fun. Like the other poster said, lots of celebs ride bikes.

Before I get accused I’m no shipper or fan of MKs, I hate this whole farce but I also like to be reasonable about the stuff I b!tch about LOL.

People are so funny. Take this article for instance…MK is nowhere in sight but yet she still gets her name mentioned anyway. I’m surprised the article didn’t get twisted around to being solely about them and their relationship. Guess it is true what they say couples sell better than a single.

Dues Ex Machina (God on/from machine) on Walpurgis/Beltaine, talk about a Masonic overkill. Wonder if he’s wearing a Rex Dues t-shirt under that jacket, might as well. Some of you can see he’s craft, even if you don’t know why. Every picture lately has had Masonic monarch programming synchs, esp. the Wizard of Oz black and white, poppies(Joseph Mengele, CIA programming),J. Paul Getty (Illuminatus World Bank), Ducati(“Illuminatus Primus of the Illuminati Ducatisti”). Guess you can’t be a star without being neck deep with these NWO satanic people, try and get out and you end up like Tom Cruise, Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan. They are being reined back in.

This explains the rope burns, it’s in a top level Masonic ritual representing Tubal-Cain. Tubal-Cain was the 1st BLACKSMITH and this is a secret password for high degree Freemasons. This was symbolized in 1st Pirates with William’s blood breaking the curse (Caananite curse of Ham), and reinforced in Kingdom of Heaven by reenacting Cain’s murder of his brother Abel. 2nd Pirate Will deals with a Cthulhu/kracken(Blavatsky) and finds out his father is a fish (sign of Jesus/Merovingian Merovee) and 3rd AT WORLD’S END reenacts the beast rising from the sea from Revelations, and as a psychopomp (spirit of the underworld) has sex with Elizabeth which produces the facsimile of a Nephilim. Weird then that his sword in Kingdom was based on the Sword of Roland(Orlando) which is really the Merovingian Charlemagne’s sword.

It doesn’t matter if you believe in the NWO/Freemason/Illuminate/Priory of Scion /Gnostic/Rosicruceans/Jesuits/Knights Templar/Bilderbergers/The Circle/Zionists/Scientologists/Moriah/Moriah-conquering-wind/Gnostics/Luciferians and the many other names they hide behind today, what matters is that they believe it and they are the most powerful people on earth and are busy right now buying all of their competition. You have to be aware of the 13 bloodlines, they believe they are direct descendants of the Satanic Cain bloodline, the Grigori/Watchers/Nephilim bloodline. Whatever is going on with Miranda, it’s probably about bloodlines, it always is with these people. Wasn’t Kate a blueblood. Most are so brainwashed they can’t see through the world politics right now-but Wake Up!

@20
Actually he’s the only one who already signed up.

@27
It’s time for your medicine, hurry up!

Whoah, what are you smoking? And where can I get some? LOL. Deus Ex Machina is the name of a motorbike store in Sydney. Try google.

I think riding motorbikes is the least of his risk. He should be more concerned about what he will catch from that cabbage patch kid whos been with Brandon Davis. Now that is taking risk.

Are people finally going to abandon The Red Circle thread for this one? TRC one was taking freaking forever to load.

Until there is an official statement in a respectable publication then it isn’t official. He may have verbally agreed but that’s not the same.

you know what i dont un derstand why people are judging orlando what hes done and people have done worse things in hollywood. can any one tell me why you hate him when hes done nothing wrong. for one hes not doing drugs, not hungry for attention. and another thing why are people having so much time on their hands to write about crap when hes the one who has been sucessful in life and has worked hard. hes my favorite actor and im not afraid to say it.

Smiling Orlando @ 05/01/2008 at 10:45 am

He’s definitely at his cutest when he’s letting his youthful (aka as ‘boyish’) side shine. Serious and dour doesn’t suit him. I miss that exuberant playful Orlando of a years back. Most of the time now he just looks weary and a bit depressed. Nice to see his lighter side again.

you know what i dont un derstand why people are judging orlando what hes done and people have done worse things in hollywood. can any one tell me why you hate him when hes done nothing wrong.

i dont understand why people judge him. so many popular celebs do worsethings then he does. smoke do drugs party all the time. i want to here your imput on what i had wrote.

Hate him? Nope, I don’t hate him. Hate is a wasted emotion and takes up way to much time. Love him? Nope. Celebrities are not people I love. Indifference? Closer to how I feel but not exactly the right word.

I have choices that I make every day. One of them is to entertain myself and i do that by coming here. I enjoy reading what people have to say.

One of these days there might just be a new thread where he actually has signed on the doted line for a movie which would be great as I was/am a follower of his acting. Unfortunately, his acting on the big screen seems to have taken a back seat and his celebrity life is what gets the attention. So, I indulge in the comedic side of his celebrity.

As MK said, “it’s all good”.

“Mr. Bloom is in town with his main squeeze”

Are you suggesting that he may have others? LOL

So Miranda finally let him out to play a little. At least he looks good….

@32
Johnny To told that Orlando’s participation is the only confirmed to HK newspaper so I assume it’s a quite reliable source.

lovelace. @ 05/01/2008 at 1:07 pm

He’s such a pansy. Riding a motorcycle makes him look even more like a wimp.

Of course he has others. Just look at the pictures of him leaving Foxtail with 3 other women.

Seems I have a short memory sometimes. Thanks for the reminder.

Ok folks. JJ’s posted another thread about her and of course mentions him in the first sentence too.
But keep it all here, and let her peeps have that thread, see how many she gets w/o the back and forth fodder.
Interesting that JJ refs her as his “current” squeeze there. And yeah, his “main” squeeze in this one. LOL. What, is there writing on the wall or something JJ?
What agency took these bike shots? And gee, how did ‘Ol Daddio know that there would be bike shots in that brief interview from Sat.?

@#44- your right! I’m weak, I admit it, I went to peek. Promise I wasn’t going to post though.
Strange thing is, it says there are comments for that thread, but darned if I can bring them up. It only brings up her photos and JJ’s typical stir-the-pot text. Hmmm. Wonder if they were nasty and JJ modded them?
I know a lot of posters at these threads have been saying lately they’ve been having trouble posting. Makes you wonder where JJ’s interest in MK comes from.

no kidding. The guard is wearing the exact same outfit. This whole thing is a freaking joke now. Most boards just think they look like idiots with this showmance now.

Awww… that smile makes me weak. *sigh*

@ mayday #27

Wow….quite a little discussion you had with yourself there. I thought I had seen all the conspiracy theories I could ever see about the boy, but I think you just took the cake!

Since you are intent on helping us see the light on Orlando being an elitist satan worshipper looking for the perfect bloodline, maybe you could just slow down a bit and back away from the internet.

And I agree…..it might be time for your meds.

If he’s so happy why’s he been smoking? he said he does that when he’s feeling self destructive.

the man is looking hooooooooooot that is all there is to say hope he starts doing a movie any movie soon

as for his current girlfriend i don’t give **** she may be long gone in a mouth she may be in a year from now the mother of his children i don’t care as long as he is happy why people bother to bash the girlfriend of an actor they say they don’t even like what is the point?

HIs current girlf is worth 3.5 million according to Forbes highest earning models list- she is number 10 on the list>>

$3.5 Million
Kerr is getting a bit of a late start, breaking through in her delectable Victoria’s Secret campaigns at the ripe age of 23. However, expect her to remain in angel wings for awhile–the lingerie giant just renegotiated her contract for multiple years. She’s also the face of Australian department store David Jones and the face most likely to be seen around town with actor Orlando Bloom. Not bad for an Aussie who only moved Stateside two years ago.

http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/23012423.html#cutid1

So it looks like VS are keping her on for years and years.. grreat!

” most likely to be seen around town with actor Orlando Bloom”

Is there something in the air? Even Forbes does the play with words.

Its really not a lot in the big scheme of things. If its net worth that includes the the NY apartment of 1mil, Not enough to live like a celeb for life or anything. Sure, she will make more but what you said above is not that much. Also, if she was doing that well notsure she would want a 100K year job with DJ. Perhaps its overstated a bit?With what she has now she can live modestly (IMO) for life-but not the high life.

Well said.

Especially seeing as though Giselle is making 35 million, now that IS a lot of money!!
I am very curious as to WHEN VS renewed her contract it says they “JUST” have- makes you wonder if that was down to Orlando too for raising her profile? Maybe those were the 2 things she wanted to be a certainty through this PR shiite- VS and DJ

@49 where oh where have you seen pictures of him smoking?

“makes you wonder if that was down to Orlando too for raising her profile? ”

I’d say that’s a big yes. Reminds me again of the “insider” who claimed she needed help securing a few contracts? Who knows, could be a lucky guess however………….

In most of the pictures from NYC he is smoking between takes. Also he has a pack of cigarettes clearly in his pocket here, he had one leaving Foxtails too. He smokes, I don’t get why some fans refuse to accept that. He said he tried to quit and he failed. Happens to a lot of smokers. He also said he smokes and drinks a lot when he’s in a destructive phase.

This ******* is the poster boy for all that is wrong in this world.

@58
oh **** yeah, youre right!

in the picture where he is standing you can clearly see the outline of a cigaret box in his pocket. hmmpff something made me think wannabe-supermodel would have made him quit, and join the organic-vegtable train by know.

“Reminds me again of the “insider” who claimed she needed help securing a few contracts?”

Does that mean that now that the contracts are secured the showmance can end? Fingers crossed…

Although, somehow, I kind of doubt it…I think she likes the attention that she is getting from using his name and won’t give that up too easily, jmho.

LO’freakin’L!! Look close at the pics in her new thread and you can see she is posing in the freaking parking lot like she is on a photo shoot. Oh my word this girl is a piece of work. One tacky sad piece of work.

hypertyper @ 05/01/2008 at 6:13 pm

WOW! That man is hot. Go Orlando, ride baby ride.
I would look to see a picture with Miranda riding with him.

Not only is it interesting that the Bodyguard is wearing the same clothes and Orlando is just about doing the same (could have changed his top), but why are they at a bike store?
This is just the parking lot of a store not a place to ride motorcycles or anything. He was just seen at the Ducati shop in LA doing a similar setup thing. Maybe they chose another bike shop because he likes that image about himself? I doubt he was going to buy another bike and bring it home so was this just to get some more Sydney pictures either taken earlier to come out if needed or even if they were yesterday to counter her comments? just saying its kind of odd that he was at a bike SHOP and not a place to actually go riding for sport that day. I suppose its possible they rented them and took them elsewhere but it doesn’t seem like it from here. It looks more like they wanted people to get the few shots of him riding in the parking lot.

I don’t think what she wants matters. I think it’s down to how much backbone he has (or what they agreed to when they signed on the dotted line if you’re inclinded to go that way).

He looks like he’s having fun, and he’s on his own. I’m always glad to see that. Maybe he’s starting a bike collection, getting one from each continent or something. Who knows? But, he’s enjoying himself and I love that smile. That’s what I like to see him doing. Hate that her name has to be mentioned everytime his is. Can’t he be is own person? Maybe people forget he was a BIG movie star before he started dating this chick. I so hope it is confirmed that he is doing TRC. I can’t wait for him to be back at work on a new film.

@66 ????? @ 05/01/2008 at 7:22 pm

@66 what is that TRC everyone is talking about?

TRC= THE RED CIRCLE :)

where is the dog? i miss him it’s been since forever we sow him hope nothing bad happened to sidi orlando loves him wonder why we don’t see them together anymore

hope that he maybe back in al brings him out on a park or something

Does anyone notice in the video where she says her Dad and her brother are swimming, then she just casually tosses in that Orlando is too. IMO I think it was a lie. Listen to the tone of her voice, and her body language., It is as though she realizes she has to explain his abscence. I think it was a way to make sure his name got included and to make it sound as if he was bonding with her family. I have had experinece about studying the body language and the tones of voice of people who are lying in a psych class, and she exhibts the classic profile of someone who is telling a lie. I know that I could be wrong, but to me at least it makes me wonder.

It is so funny to look at her thread, only her shippers mostly post there, and she doesn’t seem to have many.

I also agree that this might be an old picture that was there to pull out when needed to prove he is in Sydney. I have doubts about him actually being there, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t leave together either.

I also think she has done her research on him,and almost quotes him verbatium when talking about her likes, dislikes and causes. How pathetic that she can’t be her own person, but pretends to be what ever guy she is dating wants. I tried to give her a pass on taking up the same obscure sect of Budhism that he practices, but after all the other stuff she parrots from him, I believe she did it just to make herself more appealing to him, and as soon as whatever the hell this thing they are doing is over, I believe she will drop it to pick up whatever the next fish she hooks practices. I will say it again, this girl doens’t have an orginial thought in her head

That video that says she is sans makeup is crap, she has zits all over her chin that she is always having to cover with makeup and strangely enough without any make up they aren’t showing up. There is at least foundation on. Everything she does is a lie, or fake.

something smells @ 05/01/2008 at 8:02 pm

If these bike photos were taken the same day as the parental meet and greet then it makes more sense . So dod Dad’s later comment about motorbiking and finding shared interests.

No way I believe the bit about Orlando and papa Kerr finding a shared interest in biking and then, ta-da, a couple of days later there’s photos of Orlando at a bike store (complete with the only- one-outfit security guy).

But, if Orlando spends the first part of that day trying out bikes and then later papa Kerr states that he and Orlando both are in to bikes then it makes sense.

The same photographer who was contracted for the lunch photos probably took these shots too, and they’re just now released by the Kerr group. Wonder what they’ve already got Orlando photographed doing for tomorrow?

Long Dong @ 05/01/2008 at 8:16 pm

Give Miranda one from me mate

@ long dong-
what? A slap? yeah good idea! lol

@ long dong @ 05/01/2008 at 8:24 pm

Awful that poor Miranda is only wanted by men for sex. Still she plays up to that.

Wonder what they’ve already got Orlando photographed doing for tomorrow?
=======

Leaving Sydney for LA so they can slice and dice and say they left together?

i love orlando’s family they sure have class orlando’s parents meet her in private back in november and didn’t say a word to the press about it collin was even holding her dog but why when orlando meets her father it has to be turned in to a cirkus

I wonder if those pics are from firday huh?

“and the face most likely to be seen around town with actor Orlando Bloom.”

So basically this article is saying that she’s his bottom b1tch but there’s a chance you might see him with someone else? Like his 4 way buddies from foxtails? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! It’s half-assed comments like that making her look stupid.

It was a different agency from the lunch but that is probably not to be too obvious any more. The lunch was wireimage and as people have said several times they are the kind that do events. They probably owed wire the gig since they were scheduled to do the airport arrival but got stood up. They had to have been called for that if they had a folder for it since they don’t do the stalking kind of things. If they were planning on being there they had to have known the exact time they were expected and not just hearing a random day from the paper. Thats just one more thing that makes those airport pictures questionable.

Well it sounds like her career is doing well. And we all know why. I believe that VS renewed her contract based on the Orlando connection, and it is almost certain IMO that is how she got DJ. I think the fake romance is about at an end. She has got what she wanted, and while I believe she would love to keep it going, if Orlando and his PR people have any sense at all. they will get him out of this ASAP. He doesn’t seem like he is enjoying it and is just going through the motions. I could be wrong, but I think what will happen is there will be fewer and fewer pictures of them, he will go on with his partying life and be seen with other women, and eventually there will be a small blurb put out that they have gone their seperate ways due to scheduling conflicts not allowing them any time together. I think it will be done very low key.

I agree. As someone posted long ago, she needed him to wrap up a couple of contracts and it appears that it worked. I do hope that she does give it up in a low key way, but from the way that she has conducted herself so far, I don’t hold much hope that the girl has a bit of class in her. What would be completely hilarious is if she tried to blame anything on the intrusive media.

Kinda Ot-ish @ 05/01/2008 at 11:46 pm

All this O/M stuff reminds me of like the hay days of O/K and how people didn’t like KB. And you know I always thought those people had valid reasons for disliking her. But now those same people are over looking those reasons when it comes to MK and crowning her their pink princess. Making up excuses like “well he looks happy in the set ups so that makes it okay”. TBH he looked happy in some with KB as well but of course that was always thrown out as some conspiracy.

It just makes me think that maybe it really did have nothing to do with how KB acted, but they were honestly jealous of this little blonde chick who had “their” man. And now to prove otherwise with MK (and once again show it was all KBs fault), they are giving her all the allowances they would have slapped people for giving KB.

Granted I never liked KB (and still don’t) but I think I just had an epiphany haha.

I find it (almost) sad that the first thing I think of when I hear her name or see a picture is “she’s effing Orlando Bloom.” I’ve heard it said that the first impression is what sticks.

if you hate miranda kerr and think she is a fame ***** why don’t you just stop talking about her and stop pretending to ignore her really it’s childish what are 13 years old stop talking about her it is as simple as that and stop complaining that she gets attention when this is really pretty much the only place that gives her any attention as i said i don’t think she would be hurt by your comments she would thank you that you are the only one noticing her

So I hope I’vet this right: Somebody said not to post on Miranda threads so she wouldn’t get as many hits, right? Everybody should come over to an Orlando thread so his numbers will go up, right?

And, when we get here we can talk about Miranda…great idea!! I wonder how long we can keep it a secret??

Great real!

(Of yeah, and I think this was about Orlando riding that motorcyle! Ride ‘em, cowboy!!!)

wicked wench @ 05/02/2008 at 1:04 am

My Orlando picture collection and my Chase Crawford picture collection are in a competition to take over my computer.
THANKS JARED,

You’re right gumbo. I am sick of talking about her. We all made it very clear that she doesn’t know where to draw the line in her famewh0ring and that it has left a bad taste in our mouths. Now lets talk about his yummy @ss to get rid of that taste, ok ladies?

Perhaps this will help @ 05/02/2008 at 9:11 am

For your viewing pleasure. A reminder of his ability and beauty.

All about the Elf @ 05/02/2008 at 10:28 am

Nah, I’ll always prefer him as the Elf. The epitome of catlike grace and serene understated sexiness. Yum!

YELLOW GLOVES @ 05/02/2008 at 12:14 pm

hes wearing the same yellow gloves that he was wearing in the pics from england when his bike broke down…he mustve known he was going to do some riding there

Hmm, perhaps he also brought them to go riding in Melbourne with family.

Or maybe he takes those gloves everywhere since he’s a motorcycle enthusiast in case he gets a chance to ride? Is there some big deal about him bringing his own gloves along that I’m missing? I’m all for a good conspiracy theory but sometimes gloves are just gloves?

It just looks like he had his own agenda for this trip.

Good to see him enjoying himself.

I dont see anybody getting at a conspircay theory here- but that may just be me, I just take it as “He knew he would be riding” - and more than likely he did, whats so conspiracy about that? In NZ he loved to ride motorbikes there over the rough terrain, so yeah I would imagine he planned or thought “I fancy going riding when I’m there”.

But maybe I am wrong and they are getting at conspiracy LOL!

LOL, I probably read too much into it. People analyze a lot so I thought y’all we’re looking for a deep meaning to the gloves. I agree, he was likely planning to have some fun when they let him out of his cage. LOL.

#92 here. I wasn’t going with a huge theory. Just making a joke about him going to Melbourne. I agree gloves are just gloves.

Slow news day. Am I correct that its been two days since she told the world what he was doing or thinking?
Me thinks maybe she was told to shut the bloody —- up or something.

If he hasn’t left yet they are probably on their way back soon. I wonder if they will go together or try to make it look that way again? You know they (at least she) is aware of what is said so they will probably try harder to make it look real.

If thats the end of the trip it was very telling.
+She told OK she wasn’t sure if he was spending her birthday with her even though he was in the same city
+They arrive at the airport different times and we get strange pics-none of them with the two of them together.
+ Wireimage sponsored lunch to document first time of meeting pops but he arrives and leaves on his own.Only seen with Miranda in
set up table by the window
+Makes appearance at races
+Sighting in Melbourne. Although not verified it was three people who seem to all think it was him
+Strange excuses of his absense from miranda about jet lag and being holed up in his hotel room-
+Above bike store pics which some dispute the day they were taken.

LOL Cage is the word ;)

No pictures of Orlando leaving or arriving in L.A, I wondering if he would be heading to Hong Kong to meet with the director of the red circle. What happened to all the training he was suppose to be doing?

Yes, two whole days. LOL! I wonder too about the exit strategy from Oz. I suppose she’d want to make it look good. I don’t know what he’ll do. Maybe he’ll play along for some hand-holding entering the airport pictures or maybe he’ll insist they must walk in seperately.

I agree that the trip has been telling. Not nearly what she wanted it to be. I chalk that up to Orlando’s insolence. This whole weird trip made the entire thing appear even more fake.

I guess when he gets back to LA he’ll have jet lag again and won’t be able to go out for a week? LOL.

I too can’t wait to see how they exit. Kind of funny that its such a show now that that is even a big deal. Who will win in this pr game of chicken? lol. Will she get her show or will he dodge it again. My hope is that he is ticked at her “I know where he is 24hrs a day” comments and won’t be into it at all.

I don’t know how much of her quotes get back to him or not but I hope the future house plans did as well. I remember Orlando said in an interview recently that the favorite parts of his new house were his bedroom and the bathroom. After she made her comments which were just so close to everything Orlando had said he wanted it made me wonder if Orlando has a reallyhuge bathtub (since he said the bath was his favorite-there must be something special about it) and maybe even a hammock out back. Don’t comments like that scare the heck out of men? It’s like she is saying ” I want to live in YOUR house”.

I am quite sure they will leave together. All in all why shouldn’t they.

That is indeed a showmans they have. Orlando hasn’t been mentioned in the press so often for year as now for one week.
I’m quite possitive we’ll get some photos from LA after they arrive.
All in all, the show(mans) must go on..

Unless the showmance is hurting him more than helping, and I think he is beginning to see that may be the case. He can dump her find someone who is a little better at the whole thing (keeps their mouth shut and just smiles pretty when they have a few set ups) and he will still keep his name out there, while she will fade like mist in the early morning sun. All she has is him, he still has enough clout that any gril would do, and there are a lot of hungry starlets or models who would be easier for him to control. She is a spoiled little b*tch that has always had what she wanted, and has a huge ego and a very inflated view of herself. He picked the wicked witch of the West. and he could do better in the showmance stakes by picking someone a little more low key. I think this whole trip has been her death knell with him.

Why should they leave together?
They didn’t arrive together.
Their announced arrival date and pre-arranged photo op with wireimage was changed.
They’ve only been seen together twice in a week and a half.

@ ducati
Excellent thought about Orlando going to Hong Kong to meet with the director. That would be the best thing he could do to move the attention away to this showmance and back onto his career. Although she did say that “they” would be returning to LA, but then she’s included him in all kinds of comments with dubious elements of truth to them.

I think the whole cachet of dating a VS model may be overshadowed by the press and her making it sound like she has his balls in her purse. I mean the whole I am dating a VS model is to prove that you have more balls than the other guys, not that they have been removed and placed into said VS model’s keeping. Hope he gets them back when he breaks up with her.

Do you have a link to the article where he talks about his house - or is it an interview? I’d be interested in checking it out. Thanks. :)

using your logic why didn’t they arrive together either?
It could have been a simple thing with a simple picture of the
two but it was loaded with speculation none of which played well for her.

wow the man is looking hot i hope that he does a movie as soon as possible could it be possible he may go to london next?

I may have heard wrong but I listened twice and I was sure that while she said he was staying for the week she said “I” go back to LA.

I was reading the end posts on the last OB thread, and it seems to me a lot of folks are speculating whether her ex is in on this, and that this really is just all for PR.
I just can’t buy that because this drama/attention- seeking has been quite hurtful to both of them and their reps. Not only within his fandom, but also outside it. I’m not going to do a detailed review of all the drama these past months, most of us know it anyway, but even the mainstream outlets(HB/MSNBC/Fox/LATimes/NYP/E!/others I’ve probably forgotten) have questioned/snarked about this “union”. H*ll, even JJ, and today Forbes, have phrased things…interestingly…when referring to them. Everyone seems to be getting a weird vibe.

Point is, while they certainly dance and prance for the cameras and tabs, if this is all just for PR, it went south a looonnng time ago, and probably would have been dropped. So, sad to say, I think Jay really did get the shaft,and she and Bloom are deserving of every liar, cheater ,famewh*re, starf*cker/modelf*cker, gameplayer, user, *****, lowlife, lowclass desperate celebrity name that’s been hurled at them.
I hold no sympathy for either one.
I understand his fans wanting to hope in any reason that might exonerate him, but I think the time has passed for the “Orlando Bloom, Victim” profile. The only one he’s a victim of is himself.

Please don’t hold your breaths; they aren’t going seperate ways for a long time I suspect. TwueLuvForeva? Oh no no no-these two aren’t capable of such things, but eventually one will backstab the other to an inexcusable degree and it will be done.

Which leaves us with the $6M question.

How many of his fans/former fans are truly willing to continue hanging around and watching this? Why?
Are you really willing to give someone who has proven himself so undeserving(IMO), any more of your time, attention- in some cases money- but most importantly, your focused Good Will?
Is it time to shut things down and move on?

Lol. Just wondering what others might be thinking.

@108
I think London doesn’t agree with him anymore. I have several theories about why. Maybe he has had a falling out with his family because he has let fame go to his head. In some manner or another he made a complete ass of himself last summer while he was doing his play. He doesn’t get enough attention there, like he does in LA. Not only are his family put out with him, maybe some of his friends are too.
I remember him saying they would kick his ass if he let all this go to his head, and he might be fearful of said ass kicking, cause it sure looks like it has gone to his head. That is just for starters.

jj isn’t letting you post links it seems so here is a cut and paste of part of the article.
hope it works.

The house you are building, is it in London?

The house here in England. It has taken a year to build. I am trying to make it a ‘green’ house and a place which feels safe and comfortable and out of the way. It has been a great creative process. I have picked a great young Italian architect who has worked with Norman Foster. She was great and young and it feels like we have had a real collaboration.

What is your favourite room?

My bedroom or my bathroom.

So do you have a bath you can swim in?

Not like that, but I have been spoilt. If you walk in to the bathroom of this hotel that we are in right now you get ideas and think: I wonder if I could create some of that in my house? There is something great about building a home. I was trying to buy somewhere in London and I could not afford it. Forget about it, it is not the actors making the money it is the boys in the city.

I think they would go back together because she probably got angry that everybody talked about the arrival photos.
I am quite sure she reads the comments on the sites and wants to make it all lovely and ‘natural’. Or maybe there will be photos from LAX airport only. There are lots of paparazzi everyday. I am sure we’ll get photos soon. Either of both of them or only one.

totally agree, although he does look hot for a man with no balls.

What do you bet he has a flat in London to take his one night stands or casual flings back to. I am sure he doesn’t want them knowing exactly where he lives. They may end up with their faces pressed up against the fence after he is done with them.

It’s up for grabs but there are different theories about when the pr game started.

If you think it was all pr I agree with you that it doesn’t make sense since the whole Jay-cheating thing was a drama and did not help anyones reputation.

If you think that they had a real thing-or at least an on again off again thing but they broke up right before the oscars it might work.
I realize others have differnt povs but I think they did indeed split after NY and his behavior right after that supports that.
I do think she was behind the stink article and was very upset. I think she freaked out on him and there might have been some truth to what those “insiders” said that she had been counting on him to help her for a while longer to get some things nailed down.
Then from that very odd day at the Ducati shop its been nothing but a showmance. That leads me to think that the pr aspect only came into play after a break -up and he agreed to carry it on for a while to help her out.
People also have different povs as to if it was just out of compassion or if she has something on him. I’m not sure how I feel about that but I wouldn’t rule it out if she did the stink article as well.
So if that theory is correct than it is possible that this could end soon but we will see.

And I do agree that Orlando probably wants it too.

If it comes to him and London. I think London is a place where good actors live. The ones who don’t need much attantion because their work is enough. Kevin Spacey - plays in movies but also in a theatre in London and nobody denies he’s an artist.

There are paparazzi in London, sure but people in London are more interested in what can they see on stage/in the cinema than celebs themselves.
Living in London is not living on the spotlight and I believe that;s what Orlando is looking for.

@117 and @110 @ 05/02/2008 at 3:46 pm

I think you’re spot on with those thoughts.
Sadly, I think Bloom is proving to value tabloid celebrity only, and plays all the games he can to maintain it. Hollywood’s the best place to hype the illusion of talent and status, I guess London expects you to prove it.
Gah! Now I have to go and think about those ?s from above.

Thanks very much - I appreciate you posting it! :) Do you know what mag. that is from?

@118 ‘Hollywood’s the best place to hype the illusion of talent and status, I guess London expects you to prove it.’ -
Perfectly said. Additionally, everyone does what they can do best..

I guess we may have some interesting plots going on!

Living in London is not living in the spotlight and I believe that’s what Orlando is looking for.

ellen, I totally agree with your last statement. I find it sad that I do agree with it as it is not what I thought of him to be. Though I have no idea what he is really like, what he appeared to be like is what I liked. I believed what he said in interviews that I have read.

This is what he said about him and her in an interview from 5/07.

Are they now a couple?
He laughs nervously, before stuttering. What? Are you kidding me? No, thats not right, never No, its not true.

I wonder when he changed his mind. I guess it comes down to the fact that I don’t believe what he says. I probably never should have. I guess that I wanted too. Over the last 6-12 months my opinion of him has changed considerably. Oh well.

So did mine. I actually believed that he is one of these young hollywood actors who has lots of class and will remain a real artist. All in all he;s after a good drama school.
I don;t like when people say ‘I love my private life’ and then sit in Los Angeles for about half a year. I don’t say being in LA is wrong but talking about private life is just silly in that case. I respect people saying ‘I love to party, I want to enjoy my life and take as much as I can’ it’s their life, they may not be the best actors but they are honest at least.
Probably he got scared after doing a play and the turth is that the pressure is much bigger than the biggest blockbuster because usually people judging an actor on stage know what they are talking about.

I know that none of us knows what’s going on but this is truth that he has changed so much at least his attitude towards some fields of life. Sometimes I think that he must be really unhappy doing something he always tried to skip. Maybe he doesn’t care anymore. Or maybe it was just talking but if so, it makes me laugh that Orlando is talking about living green, being a good, decent person and wants people to treat him seriously in what he talks about and at the same time does exactly on the contrary to what he said. How can one treat him seriously?
Driving a eco-friendly car doesn’t make you a good man.

Yeah, that quote-lie-from him about her. That’s when the red warning lights went off for me. Ironically enough, his flustered reaction to that question was probably one of the few times we’ve ever seen honesty from him.
I’d felt something was going on from the condo pictures, but naively chose to believe their excuses up until that interview.

i think he might go to london sooner or latter it is his home and where his all family is i stil don’t get what happened there that he doesn’t want to go well hopefully he wil go to london and bring sidi with him i miss that beautiful dog

He's an eco-tard @ 05/02/2008 at 4:27 pm

Alas, he doesn’t even drive an eco-friendly car. The eco-movement they both preach about (using the same b-s) is laughable. I ask this, how can you be all about the environment and nutrition (her) and then light up a smoke?

I generally find it a little funny when celebs talk about environment and what one should do to live green.
Of course I don’t think it’s possible to stop using planes and such but talking about it won’t help that much. Nobody cares what celebs are talking about. It’s more about actions. I mean when I see Leonardo DiCaprio riding his bike as much as he can it speaks more for me than him talking about it. When I see a celeb not using the plastic carrybag but the material/paper one that’s more appealing. At least for me.

Natalie Portman does much for the environment but she doesn’t talk about it all the time.

One thing people have to realize is hollywood is full of illusion and other things that are more dangerous. Even the best fall for it and I think he has fallen under that same spell I pray he goes and see’s his family I think thats what he needs to to.A good chewing out would do him some good he needs his family right now I do agree that he is a little lost. Love covers a multitude of sin and I think that is what he needs from them to get back on track . Ihope this red circle keeps him busy and from what I hear del toro wants the original cast from lord of the rings. I pray that works out for him and that this pr relationship is dead or dying soon.

Ellen on 126

I am so over celebs talking about the environment. In fact, I’m pretty tired of the whole “go green” campaign. (Wait before throwing rotten fruit at me - lol!) It seems to me to just be the cause-du-jour, just like PETA was a few years ago. Just changing a few things about how a person comsumes isnt enough. The planet just might be beyond recovery as far as simple human interaction is concerned. Its probably just a little too late for that. Societies need drastic change in just about everything they do, and how they livie their lives, and being honest, I just cant see that happening. I’d rather that “the haves” focus their efforts on helping “the have nots” and at least help people live better lives. Theres no guarantee that the planet is fixable, but the quality of peoples lives could be. Thats me just being optimistic again though - dont mind me hehe.

“The Hobbit” does not have Legolas in it - at least the book doesn’t and oh, silly me, but I expect the movie to be honest to the original.

I agree 100%

I can’t stand celebs telling US to do things-preaching at us, and then themselves not practising what they preach, that angers me, but the day I listen to what I “should be doing” from a celeb is the day I prob shoot myself lol

@ 130 - Ya….celebs arent exactly the role models for “everything in moderation” now are they? I cant really sit in judgement too harshly though of their own consumption of things. I live in a economic first world country and even me, on my rather modest income, live better than 80% of the rest of the worlds population. I give to charities, etc, but well, I still live rather comfortably, and its not really charity if I havent sacrificed too much now is it?

LYING ORLANDO @ 05/02/2008 at 5:45 pm

Hi folks!

I just wanted to know- me being an ex Orlando fan very recently because of him playing his fandom for a fool over MANY things…

How do you feel about Orlando lying to you all about pulling out of “AN EDUCATION”? He knowingly lied saying he pulled out due to schedualing issues with THE RED CIRCLE, he also used a fan to spread this lie- LORI V. In my opinion that in itself is just so wrong.

Why did he give ANY reason, i would rather he wouldve said nothing than lie to us, and using a fan to spread that lie to me -esp if I was Lori V herself would be unforgivable.

It just makes you wonder what else this guy lies through his teeth about- you know, I know he is a human being, and I NEVER put him on a pedestal, BUT his lying- for me is getting a bit much now and it seems to be constant, and before some say “He doesnt owe us anything”.. true so why say anything about why he didnt do AE? He mustve know that we would find out he lied?

This guy doesnt give 2 hoots about his fandom that much is clear, If it wasnt for his fandom who actually made him famous (through the internet as he was virtually unknown even after LOTR’s came out- everyone knew Legolas and everyone fancied Legolas the chracter BUT nobody knew what Orlando Bloom looked like until he became an internet phenomenon) Nobody is expecting his undying gratitude, but being honest with his fans would be one good thing to be.

I am so so sad that he has become what he has lately, and I dont think it is all to do with Ms Kerr either. He seems to have radically changed on the last 6 months, and I dont know why. I would have loved to have still been in the fandom and supported him, but I seriously cant, not that he will care i know- but I can’t support a man who has knowingly lied to us, i really can’t, esp as there was no need to give is ANY explination.

Anyway just popping through as I was looking thru Jareds blog entries.

To all the ones who are sticking with Orlando- I reallyhope he proves to be worth it ;) good luck and take care all :)

I totally agree. It as though the feel they have to make some kind of effort to counter the party wasteful lifestyle most of them live. You are so right. Has Aid’s been cured, no, but where have all the red ribbons gone? Is breast cancer cured? where are all the pink ribbons?
I hate it that they now use UNICEF as good PR for themselves, instead of actually making a sacrifice to be involved. I know the pictures put out highlight the problems. But how many of then do you think fly on donated flights, as Audrey Hepburn did when she worked for them. How many go and stay for weeks on end, as she did? How many go into very dangerous zones, as she did when she was working in Somlia?

When they stop using private jets, and flying all over the place just to vacation, and really show that they are making a difference then I might listen. But I agree it isn’t chic to help out at a homeless shelter, or to donate money to schools or libraries for computers and books. Schools and libraries are one of the places that the have nots have access to things they can’t afford to have at home. And most of them are stretched to their limits.

can i ask anybody thats making a big stink about orlando is he drinking is he doing drugs is he out partying every night. what is your guys problem. hes living a normal life. everyday celebs are cursing at the press doing stupid immature things. and nobody talks about them here. and you guys are judging an actor whos never in the media spotlight doing anything wrong but only living his life. hes a human being for crying out loud. people need to just stop for a minute and stop giving up on people. its seems to me if a guy isnt working on a movie every month you people start bashing the poor guy on everything he does. im not judging you people who tare this guy apart. but start thinking more positivly about a person.

@134+135

Can I ask why you post in 2 minds. I know you think people dont know, but I do, you post in 2 opposite opinions, one minute you are calling Orlando and Miranda like everyone else and then you are yelling at people not to be calling Orlando and Miranda- are you schizophrenic?

And don’t bother denying it, I KNOW 100%

what are you talking about

You know and so do I. And well, I’m sure some other intelligent people have noticed too.

Maybe sticking to one mindset would help you.

wait i just posted my knew name its not orli fan its russia@ i think you mixed someone elses name with mine sorry to confuse you

@129
While it is true that Legolas doesn’t appear in the Hobbit, I don’t think it would be too far of a stretch for him to show up. There are many things that Tolkien left out and only implied. Legolas is the Prince of Mirkwood. his father is Thranduil who does play a fairly large part in the Hobbit, so I could see how he could be easily inserted in without messing up the plot.

The second movie is about the years between the Hobbit and LOTR. Aragorn is out rangering and visiting Rohan, and Gondor. It seems from the books that he and Legolas may have known each other, so who is to say that Legolas wasn’t doing some traveling with him. I wouldn’t mind that at all.

Should have said, the only thing is he looks older, so they may have to do some makeup magic. The one thing they can’t fix though is that look of innocence in his eyes that he had in LOTR. That is gone, replaced by a cynical and jaded look. Maybe he can recapture it if he goes back to where he started and finds that same joy he seemed to have then.

JustGeorge @ 05/02/2008 at 6:41 pm

@Lying Orlando

Orlando is a PR creation. He has NEVER been a great actor who aspired to great roles. He (and his people) know that he is not made of that kind of stuff. He was created just like Zach Efron and other before and after to appeal to certain fans. Orlando (and his people) know that appeal has a shelf life. IMHO that shelf life has expired. Orlando (and his people) have created an image through the years that is untrue. Orlando has followed the script as best he could, but it falls flat eventually. He talks about things that he really doesn’t know that much about including the environment. Orlando has tried to be politically correct whether he really knows about the issues or not. Let’s be real - how many times has he mentioned “just changing your lightbulbs”? He (and his people) have done the PR-speak for years. The most recent is this notion that he quit one film because he was so busy. Busy doing what? People are smarter than that nowadays and the internet can have pictures daily about celebrities’ lives. His fandom should realize that he can’t keep up the farce forever.

It sounds like you try and do your part. Most of us have to work to survive, and don’t have the time to actually go places and do things. It is hard enough to have enough time and money to keep families fed. When I was growing up we used to always spend Thanksgiving day at a shelter, and then we would come home to the meal, Mom had mostly cooked the day before. The same during Christmas. Instead of buying for our parents and siblings we bought for the Angel tree project, and then as a family we delivered the gifts. Charity is something that is taught, and sometimes between all of the sports and activties kids are involved in parents forget that part. I am glad mine didn’t. We were blessed with more than enough, and were taught to give back what we could.

if your so anti orlando than why do you even bother finding old news about orlando and posting your critique. go judge the ones that drink and party and get pregnant.

How do u know that Orlando doesnt drink and party, you forget that this man drinks and parties so much that he crashes his car and his passenger gets a fractured neck and he walks away from the scene before the evol paps telling him to return to the scene.. yeah he is just a sweetie!!

@JustGeorge @ 05/02/2008 at 7:11 pm

Maybe you have not seen the extended version of Kingdom of Heaven. Orlando is Balian. I believe that he does have talent and I hope he has future roles that allow him to showcase that. I don’t know why An Education fell through. I was really disappointed about that as I thought it was a great opportunity to up his credibility.

You also forgot the innapropriate groping of Veronica taylor on that evening, so not only does he drink and party, he letches and gropes strangers too!

I meant 145 sorry

I have always wondered exactly what he did to her that night. I mean the way people dance in clubs, it had to be pretty bad to be make her ex boy-friend pissed. I don’t think a hand on the ass or even one on her boobs would have done it. I think hands got under some clothes. I would love to know what was deemed inappropriate at a Hollywood Club, it had to be something really kinky.

for god sake leave the man live his life he isn’t doing you any harm i think he is a good person but news flash actors sell them selfs promoting movies they are not going to tell you their secrets or the truth about their lives come on they try to appear to the public the best way possible why should orlando be any different i don’t get it

The night of his accident is when the luster started to come off for me. First he gropped that model. The man who said how much he respects women, because he was raised by women. The man who said he had seen how guys hurt his sister, and he never wanted to be like that. Then he acted like complete wank by getting in the guys car to make nice. Maybe he hoped Veronica and ex boyfriend would keep their mouths shut if he tried to smooth things over.

Then after the accident which he blamed on the paps, and funny how nothing ever came to trial on that. He jumps out of the car and wanders away looking like an idiot, until some photographer tells him he has to go back. All of a sudden that sweet nice guy image is shot to hell. I mean I knew he partied and drank, but I still thought he respected himself and others. But he looked like a little boy after that accident instead of a 30 year old man. and then got on his phone, not to call 911, cause he told someone else to do that, but I bet to call his management team or his PR person to help him fix this and to make sure they used their clout with the LAPD to get him out of the mess. That is when I said goodbye to the cute guy who seemed so genuine and real. He was just a big act and it fell apart that night, and he hasn’t done one damn thing to redeem himself in my eyes.

The ex-boyfriend seemed pretty twitchy and possessive - a bit weird for an ex-boyfriend. Orlando is pretty huggy and physical affectionate - I imagine that many misread that. I doubt that anything ‘kinky’ happened.

I agree, the fact that this model didnt sell her story also makes me think it is definately true when ppl say otherwise- if this was bullshiit then they may as well have taken it to the tabloids to get their five minutes of fame as the ppl who thought taylor and the guy lied about it, and to me the ONLY reason they would lie is for attention and like i said if thats what they wanted they would have done what ive said above, and taken it further while they had the chance- if that makes sense? So for them notto want to say anymore makes me think they didnt like it one bit.

It makes me laugh a tad that ppl refuse to believe this kind of stuff about him, because before this happened there was always blurbs saying he would be “grabbing a woman” in clubs, parties etc so where did it come from? so when this Taylor incident happened to me it made me think “he must be like that” and beleive me some men are after a drink, to me its rather pervy and uncalled for and gives a glimpse into the guy he is. The funny thing is In my experience is that the kind of guys that do that- and I dont mean to be shallow here are the types that arent very attractive and cant hook up with a girl all night. So how that fits him I’m not sure…

to answer yout question about the car accident ok get over it. orlando did return to the scene of the crime. and helped out. so he got nerves. come on hes human people do think sometimes unrationaly in a scarry situation. please hes human. sometimes we want celebs to act perfect its so unrealistic.

Not sure I agree with that. I have seen what is pretty common practice in clubs and unless the guy was a nut case, and some have posted that he is not, but a really nice guy. I think it would have had to be something pretty bad to make him that mad. And she was mad too, you could tell by the way she just wanted him to leave them alone, and the snotty way she told him to go home. If nothing had happened I have a feeling that others that were there would have come to his defense, but I don’t even think the people he was with said that nothing happened.

He came back when he was told he had too, and on the way back he was on his phone. He wasn’t calling 911, because after he got back to the car he was heard saying there was someone hurt and someone needed to call someone. He was on the phone covering his own ass. And of course he started acting right, there were tons of cameras there, and he probably had gotten advice from who ever he was taling to on his trip back to his injuried friends about how to play it to begin the damage control.

dear hmmm
how do you even know the story of that night was even true. its like so many people want to believe the false accusations about orlando. lets face it im a guy. hes the person men and women just like to hate.

Let me put it this way, he is really hot, but if I wanted someone who I could trust, could count on, someone who acted like a real man who knew how to handle himself and difficult situations. He would be way far down on my list of choices.

how do you know you cant rely on him.we read all this crap about orlando but can we really judge the guy if we dont know him personaly

I don’t know what happened that fun night. I, like you, can only say what it looked like.

As far as “Veronica” goes. I wasn’t there and didn’t see “groping” or “dancing” or whatever. I did see and hear as he was getting out of the car, he asked her, “Why didn’t you tell me he was your boyfriend?”
So that doesn’t sound to me like he was dancing alone…Veronica was probably playing too.

And that accident, jeez. The papanazis followed him from that club and ran him off the road - that’s what it looked like to me. Now, if I was driving, being followed by about eight cars, run into a parked car, had photogs screaming at me, taking my pics, I don’t know how I would react - it might not be in a way you approve of. I do believe that if he had done something terribly wrong, they would have charged him. Seems like the LAPD haul in many celebs…why give the British guy a break?

I’m sure Orlando is not a perfect being but I don’t think he’s the villian some like to make him out to be. It’s not like he’s a chronic offender, as some are known to be.

“But then, that’s just my opinion and I could be wrong.”

I agree with everything you said. I had heard multiple stories of him being grabby when he was drunk. I also read that some of his costars have said he acts like that when he is drunk, and it doesn’t take much for him to get drunk. I think lately he acts like that, because as he said so well as a joke “he is Orlando f*ucking Bloom” and he can get away with it. Someone called him on it that night and he didn’t get away with it. But you are right there have been lots of hints and casual gossip alluding to the fact that he can’t seem to keep his hands to himself.

I don’t know exactly what happened that night, but the cameras caught him in the car with the guy acting like a fool, while all his friends were telling him to stop, and the cameras caught him walking away from the wreck, and he didn’t go back until someone told him he had too, and he said “really” and turned around. That much is on tape.

and if you clap your hands really hard tinker bell won’t die either. Do you also believe in unicorns and pots of gold at the end of the rainbow? Maybe you should try to get in touch with reality. And I remember you also think he and Miranda are in twu lurve

i like your answer gumbo we really dont know what happened that night. and as for people who hate him im proud to say i love him.

@ 163

Shame on you for attacking my imaginary friends!

what does twu lurve mean sorry im new to this i can only speak russian write now. and by the way as thay say in russia ” ya lyoobloo orlando bloom navcegda.

@ person with the blue name(s) @ 05/02/2008 at 8:47 pm

Why do you keep changing your name? So far you have been pro O/M and against O/M so far you have agreed with the dislikers here, then you have went apeshiit at them saying they are naughty, now you are pretending to be men as well… hun you are all the same person, and you know how I know?? Your grammar and spelling is always giving you away and you spell the same words wrong in the same way.ie you spell THREAD= THREAT.

Maybe I should ask Jared to see if all the IP’s match? What say you??

Agreed. After he says you didn’t tell me he was your boyfriend, she was pretty quick to clarify ‘ex’ - he then says ‘well, you have relations’ or something like that. She also playfully punches him. I don’t think she was too miffed at whatever happened. He was there hanging out with Cher and another friend - I doubt he did anything awful.

I also saw the clip of the crash on YouTube - you can clearly hear someone in the background saying you guys (the paparazzi) caused this - clear off, basically. Look, who knows what you do after you’ve had an accident. He may not have even realized Cher was injured at that point.

Glad to see someone else has noticed that too. The names aren’t that orginal either. latvian and then russia . I think they must be either using some rather interesting substances, or maybe not on the meds they need to be om

does anyone notice that gumbo answers herself a lot too!

First of all i don’t understand what you are saying and whats blue. And by the way I would never pretend to be a man. I”m a girl from russia. And i am not anti mirranda. first of all i would never judge a person i do not know.

@149
The guy’s reaction vs. Taylor telling Bloom “he’s my EX-boyfriend” after the two guys finally separated: sounds like someone didn’t get Taylor’s memo on her relationship status. I don’t know, but by his reaction, I can see why she called him her ex-boyfriend.

@153
No, you’re not making sense. Why would they suffer silently? To be noble? Or maybe there was no story? Strangers things have happened.

@172 if you are a woman you should be ashamed of yourself. He has a rep for pawing women,. And you are living back in the days when anytime a woman was misused by a guy it was always her fault. Shame on you. Don’t you think if he was innocent he and his management people would have been proclamiming it from the rooftops along with any witness who saw what happened chiming in. She corrected him about her boyfriend, probably automatically and all of a sudden she was asking for it., Do you know that unitl just within the last thirty years that was always the defense against rape. She was asking for it, she was wearing provocative clothes, she has slept with other guys. Women’s reputations were dragged through the mud because they had the guts to even proescute these creeps. And now just because it is Orlando Bloom and he is so cute the girl is lying. I bet if it was a ugly bast*ard that did it, you would believe it. But the type that believe they are God’s gift to women are just as bad, Shame shame shame on you.

because 172,they maybe would “suffer silently” because maybe they are the kind of ppl who dont like to have any publicity what happened outside the club couldnt be helped but talking to tabs- and that is a bigger thing altogether, I dont get why people cant think that he MAY just be a slime.. stranger things have happened. Why would this guy say what he did to the paps? Where and why did he choose that he “grabbed her inappropriately” “story” and why didnt they go to the tabs with it - as to make it up there mustve been an ulterior motive?

Is it just because he is a good looking guy? I’m not saying I know 100% what happened because I don’t -BUT to be honest this isnt the first time there has been news about him doing that kind of thing to women. And to me it is a HUGE coincidence that this came out with Taylor.IAlso what he has said about himself that he had countless one night stands then he sees women as a “body” or “piece of meat” to some degree, so that would also fit. Again maybe he views women differently now and only playfully slapped her **** (still too much IMO) but I dont see how it would cause that reaction in the guy if thats all that had happened.

We will have to agree to disagree, as we will NEVER know what happened. I think because we cant be 100% sure we can only be open minded, but I just lean stronger to that it was something “inappropriate” because of the “evidence” there but I think we can safely say that if that crash didnt happen people wouldve been talking about him and Taylor all over the place for a while, it was only the crash that overshadowed it.

so no pictures or news today do you think he is still in autralia?

@173
You take the ex-boyfriend’s reaction as the gospel truth. Then he wasn’t much of man when he failed to follow up by making a police report. Or at the very least, take it to the press. Shouldn’t he & Taylor be proclaiming what happened from the rooftops? Don’t they want to save the next woman who falls prey to Bloom’s unwanted advances?

And you ought to be ashamed of yourself when you automatically discount Taylor. Why do that? Because she’s a woman and therefore cant’ think for herself? I don’t know how you jumped from her correcting her ex-boyfriend’s status to asking for it. I was making the point that the ex-boyfriend’s rather possessive behavior -EX-boyfriend, remember?- was probably why she consider him an ex.

And what did Taylor lie or didn’t lie about?!

@174
Uh…If you actually believe what you wrote, then agreeing to disagree & we will never know what actually happened would have been enough. Given the rest of your post, sounds like you don’t really want to agree to disagree, etc. It’s with us or against us, eh? Just remember, I said MAYBE there is no story.

As for them keeping silent, yeah, same as maybe there’s no story: stranger things have happened. :-)

I do believe what I wrote, I was just saying why I tend to believe one version more, no it isnt with us or against us either, I dont get why you think that, I like to hear other ppls opinions, and I like to tell people WHY I think like I do, It could go either way as yes we will never know the full story, If I REALLY thought he was a letchy guy 100% no doubt, I wouldnt still like the guy- and I do. Thats it in a nutshell, i lean one way more than the other, and thats that. I respect your opinion as I do others, it is no big deal in any shape or form, oh yes strnage things happen all the time ;) lol

@177
Ah. I like your last strange things happen. Pax.

OT: I like the autoformatting of the smilies! Does that make me lazy…

:-D

LOL How do you autoformat the smillies? LOL I was hoping the smiley with the glasses would be here, but I cant seem to do it lol!! I love my smillies

I think the accident&picking up model story
(no matter if you believe what’s happened) changed his public image for worse. At least a little bit.
I have never believed Orlando is perfect because he’s just a man. Picking up girls in clubs is something common, men do it. The difference is that Orlando is a celeb and everything is recoreded by cameras.
I think that since the accident his PR try to change his image to keep him in the spotlight with lots of fans again. Dating Miranda is quite helpful because he’s seen as a loving man. I just think that they play it wrong because from a womanizer he became a showmance puppet, which is even more annoying.
I don’t think Orlando is a really bad man, at least not more than any other guy. I just think people shouldn’t take serious what he says about himself because he can’t say ‘I love to have one night stands in club, it makes me feel good and I don’t really care about the conseqences’.

@51
couldnt have said it better. I dont care about the people who say he was “in shock” after the accident. I cannot believe that anyones first reaction -after being in a car crash- would be to call their managment or PR or whatever!!!!!!!! seriously, he didnt even bother calling 911, he just kind of asked someone els to do it. (as if it were their job! helllooooo, DOUCHE !! you just chrashed, not them!) I’m not even going to go into the other countles details/red flags that night.

I tend to agree with you. I don’t think he is a bad man.. I think he was very young and it happened so fast, that he lost sight of who he really is and what he says he believes. While I think he has always been a party animal, and was a bit of a womanizer, I doubt he was any worse tham some guys I know. But then women were literally throwing themselves at him, he could have any kind of sexual favor he wanted and more. And he didn’t have the maturity to realize that yes there can be too much of a good thing, and sometimes it is better to be more respectful of you self and just using women (even if they are willing) isn’t a healty was to live.
I agree the Miranda thing is to try to change his image from a big partier, who drinks and maybe uses drugs, is taking several different women home every night. They are trying to rebuild that image of a nice guy who is respecttful to women and is serious about his career, and it a kind of fun, sweet, and yet a little goofy guy.

They have picked the wrong way to do it. I think more people would have so much more respect for him, if he talked about the accident and the incicdent at the club, maybe admitted he had made some dumb decesion and apologed to his fans for letting them down, along with his friends and family. He would have won over so many people if he stood up and behaved like a man with dignity and humility. He got bad advice, and he should have put his foot down.

Ugh….I havent read past post 150 because all of a sudden the topic seems to be turning back to the accident. Man….I thought the chatter about that **** was over. Clearly some are really hanging on to that night.

I certainly would like to go back to the days of talking about his movies. That was way more fun. And to the person calling him a liar about AN EDUCATION, Orlando nor his people ever made a statement about that as far as I know. It was the writer that chose to add some snarky remarks about him not being in it. And FYI, movie deals go sour all the time for one reason or another. It has nothing to do with wanting to lie to his fans about a movie. Believe what you want, but you seem pretty certain that Orlando is a real ******* with no redemption whatsoever. Geez. You seem very angry.

OK, for the millionth time.
There were more things unclear about that night. Like, VT was quick to let everyone know the other guy is his ex. I don’t know about you, personally I like to do the least damage possible when I break up with a guy, sometimes offer the “let’s be friends” line, but I never go to clubs and parties with my exes. That would be kinda weird. Also, to me VT looked like she was angry at both guys. You know they are sometimes like little boys fighting over a toy.

BTW I no longer go to clubs. Recend trends include women dressing like cheap h00kers, putting their stuff on display, and the dancing styles nowadays with the @ss shaking and hip swirling… makes poor guys nuts. I’m not saying they asked for it, no way does a guy have the right to be indecent just because of that. All I am saying is that if that behaviour makes a man lose it, I don’t like it, but I understand, so I avoid those situations.

Another thing that night is that when they leave the club, a woman is driving, and although the paps start to follow them immediately, at no point do we see pics of someone getting out of the car to change places. We don’t know when and how he got to the driver’s seat and that was always weird to me.
Also, he never personally blamed the paps, it was his cousin who said that. And remember, he was driving a borrowed car, on the right side of the road he might not be completely used to, and he was not speeding a little bit either, or the crash would have been much worse. Personally I guess the lady who was driving first had a few drinks and that is why they decided to switch seats. Why else?
I don’t blame the guy to quietly panic and get away, I have been in a car crash before, and it took some time before I was able to think straight.

Oh, and about the “rep for being grabby with women” bit, well, that too is an internet rumour to me, so while I do not cast it away, I will not believe it without credible sources more than I believe his love and dedication to Ms. Pink Panties of Oz.

I think whatever happened is between those involved and God. We have nothing to do with it none of us where there it’s easy to jump to judgement until your in the same situations.The incedent with vt the same we where not there . If I were his management team they should change his character from a boy to a man.I think he would get more roles he can’t play the pretty boy for life it’s time to grow up and they need to realize that. He would not be in this situation if he would have listened to wisdom johnny gave him some good advice he should have listened. He can change I don’t think he’s a bad guy it’s a case of growing up and growing a set of balls. I do think he will find the women who will love him. Alot of playboys do look a warren beatty, he probaly didn’t think he would ever get married and have children and his wife is a very strong women.

Thank you. You are constantly a voice of reason here. People seem so quick to believe negative stuff that has no more credibility than the hearts and flowers sh!t about him and MK. I agree 100% with everything you say.

@181: how do we know who he called? We don’t. And frankly people react really oddly in those situations. He might have had no idea how serious the injury was. I find that whole conversation being used to damn him to be kind of silly. I have no problem sitting here and poking holes in his public persona and the PR manipulations. But people do need to be careful to not believe their own version of events and recollections. It’s better to stick to facts. As Jaded said, a lot of the stuff people throw at him to crucify him are as much gossip and speculation as the MK garbage.

@182:

They have picked the wrong way to do it. I think more people would have so much more respect for him, if he talked about the accident and the incicdent at the club, maybe admitted he had made some dumb decesion and apologed to his fans for letting them down, along with his friends and family

What did he do? They released a statement originally that he was thankful to the emergency workers and then he briefly commented on Larry King about the situation. There was no reason for him to comment further. I know some people don’t believe the police and DA of Los Angeles but as long as they are satisfied there’s not much else to say. He doesn’t need to apologize publicly to his fans, he didn’t do anything to them. He was in what amounted to a minor fender bender.

I also have to say, even though I don’t care to re hash this: I love that people say “he only went back because of the paparazzi”. Please, the paparazzi first told him that if his car was drivable he should get in it and drive it! The paparazzi who said he had to go back was trying to get him into trouble. You tell me why they didn’t drop the cameras and help the poor bleeding people? The truth is no one knows exactly what happened but I sure as hell wouldn’t take the photog’s word over anyone elses.

The funny thing is all the angry reactions and condemnation based on gossip are just as bad as the fangirls who believe every happy bit of gossip.

For the record, I am with the people that think this is a PR sham. I try to not believe gossip from lousy sources. You have to sift through it and then determine how true you think it is. Good or bad. Like Jaded, I see the grabby rep as much questionable gossip as I do the glowing stories from the DT.

You might say “oh, that’s bad for his image” so it must be true. However, I have gotten the notion that he/his people want to dirty up his rep. Bad boys are very popular. Look at Colin Farrell or any number of others. Frankly I think after Kate he tried to look like a ladies man.

TBH, and I hate to say it, I know a guy who grabs women when he gets drunk, who has almost no history of real girlfriends. He happens to be gay. Closeted men get grabby to overcompensate. Or sometimes because they think since it’s not sexual it doesn’t matter. Anyone see Isaac Mizrahi and ScarJo at the Oscars a few years back?

That said, I don’t believe gossip from shady sources.

LOL, you KNOW this is a weird place if a silly girl like me gets to be “constantly a voice of reason”! But thanks for that anyway, much appreciated. *mwah*

Some blurb from OLove about Miranda&Orlando visiting the hospital. For once I believe it’s a nice mention and I don’t think it was staged because it’s the imdb user who wrote that and she probably found out by accident.

“He and Miranda made a surprise visit to the Ronald McDonald House at Randwick Hospital for dinner the other day. My little 11 year old cousin is in hospital and my aunt, uncle and other cousins are staying in the house. My uncle went up to the ward where my cousin is and got her and all these other little girls and brought them down to Ronald McDonald House to have dinner with Orlando and Miranda.
They said they were absolutely lovely and they were both so good with all the kids. My cousin had so much fun and got photos and autographs with/from them. It was such an awesome and nice thing for them to do. I screamed when I found out.”

that is nice if its true-hope it is. But I do have to wonder why it wasn’t in the paper like everything else and I don’t believe its because she wouldn’t have wanted that kind of press.

Why not. If that was some kind of accident that they went there I guess it was just a spontanious reaction. I don’t think she’s 100% bad person.

Maybe it will be in DST though I really doubt it because if not the mention of the person on IMDB nobody would know about it.
Perhaps they’re not that bad as we want them to be, lol.

I just saw it on IMDb. I wonder if she’ll upload the photos. Eagerly waiting.

me again, and yes I am being a cynic in every way, but it’s interesting that it says it was a few days ago and that was during fashion week and there was no mention of it? It kind of sounds like a perfect sighting to have after the big mess she made with her big mouth to cool things down. I wish there was a picture. Maybe there will be on but I’m sorry, the girl loves her press and I can’t see why she wouldn’t have the dt or someone else make at least a samll mention of it.
Putting it in blogs is safer so that the hospital won’t see it and say it didn’t happen but if on a blog it can be the persons mistaken identity.

sorry, I may be proven wrong but I just don’t trust her.

It would never be some sort of accident, it would be arranged for any celeb to visit a hospital like that.

One alleged good deed doesn’t make them a legitimate couple or erase everything else. Especially if we don’t know the details under which this occured. I could spin a million scenarios about it that wouldn’t mean MK was a “good” person. As for OB, he’s done this sort of thing in the past so we at least know he has a history of it. Her participation? Might just be mimicking his “causes” like her words now mimick everything else he has said or done.

@ellen, or it’s good old Orlando taking the reins again. :) I’d like to see him as his old self and this visit reminds me of that era. Makes you think how come we don’t get more sightings like this, with the Web available for (almost) all.

according to the post it was not an accident but a dinner that they went to there.
Don’t those types of charity dinners make the paper? Maybe it wasn’t a charity dinner but the poster said it was dinner.

Curious. Usually its not dinner with sick children. Dinner would be at night far after visiting hours. You’d generally go during the day, spend time with the kids, bring toys or what not. It could be true, we’ll see if she uploads pictures or if the DT weighs in. Could go either way now. But it is something Orlando has done before.

In the case of a Ronald McDonald House it might be low key because they don’t wanna be associated with McDonald’s. No conspiracies here. So far. Although it would have sounded more natural to my ears is she would have said “Thursday”, for example, instead of “the other day”. Might just be me though.

If they were there together it means they are together. I am far from being shipper but I think maybe they will understand that their actions weren’t taken seriously and now decided to chill out and do something better. If the kids were happy to meet the pair I think it;s fine. I also don’t think it was staged because if it was there would be press as you said and there would be probably other sightings about that.

@dinner - Dinner could be 6:30 pm. Kids often go to bed at 8 pm. Especially in a hospital where illness makes them exhausted. I have kids, I know how their energy seems to disappear during illness.

It’s not just you. I always feel a little suspicious when people can’t give an exact date. Yesterday, Thursday, etc. The other day always makes me wonder if someone is hedging in case another sighting or story pops up from that day.

I’m not trying to be mean or anything but you seem to waffle a lot. If they were there together all it means is that they were there together. Period. Perhaps OB wanted to do this as its something he’s done in the past. And he was going and she decided to tag along. And he didn’t permit her to use it for PR. That’s a possible scenario and in no way would translate to “they are together and in love”.

As for kids being happy, I will bet you anything they were happy to meet Will Turner and probably thought she was just a nice, smiling girl whom they had never heard of. I really doubt an 11 year old cares who some underwear model is. LOL.

And in general, I wonder if most people understand the way PR works in the internet age. It isn’t enough to have pictures and stories in tabloids. You need fan sightings as well. It needs to be a complete operation.

Who wants to bet me that David Jones is an underwriter for the Ronald Mcdonald House at this hospital?

Look, I’m a cynic. If they went and were nice to some sick kids that’s great. But that’s not going to make me decide everything is perfectly normal and that everything else I’ve observed was false.

good point it was left open wasn’t it?

I still can’t see why there would be no official mention of it-not even a blurb. Most things like that do make the press and if it was really a few days ago she was talking up a storm about everything she was doing. Why not that? It was just fit right in with her buddhist and green life style she was pushing.

ellen @199 - Maybe it means they are a legit couple. Or maybe it means they’ve finally hired a PR expert who knows what the hełł she/he is doing and how to make it look real. Sorry, but I don’t believe anything without confirmation from several sources, direct or indirect.

If she talked about it to the press one would say she’s awful and sells kids’ story to be famous and such, right?

It really doesn’t change my opinion of them as an annoying showmance couple but I am trying more and more to see it in a different light because nothing is only black or only white.

If she talked about it to the press one would say she’s awful and sells kids’ story to be famous and such, right?
========

Yes, so perhaps in this situation they discovered discretion is the better part of valor. The story is out there anyway, isn’t it? So mission accomplished in some respects.

Does anyone remember a story like this about him and Kate? I swear I do.

It said dinner. Would that mean dinner with the kids or a charity dinner?
If it is false maybe the person who wrote it didn’t think of that-and said it was both. At a charity dinner for the hospital that is usually someplace else and the kids aren’t there. If you go to visit and play with the kids that is just hang out time. The kids don’t sit down to a big table or anything like that-at least from what I understand.

I do think it sounds like the perfect follow up to her saying to much and now trying to backpedal a bit. If it is false you can’t put that in the paper because the fall out from using fake charity in the press would be too much.

@208 To me it came accross that it started as hang out time and then they decided to dine with the kids. There’s probably a cafeteria where the kids eat. The Ronald McDonald house is not like a hospital, it’s the place where kids that receive long treatment can stay with their parents to avoid mental/psychological damage from spending weeks or months apart.

Just read it again. Do they let the kids just run down for dinner like that for an unplanned thing? That really doesn’t add up at all. It sounded like she described and orphanage instead of a hospital.The hospital probably has to be very structured with their schedules. If they are sick enough to have to stay in a hosital they must not be running around too much.

now someone just shows up on imdb with no posting history and finds that thread and ask about seeing pics and says how sweet they are to do that.
I just smell pr again regardless if they went or not.
I do think this has taught her people a few things about using blogs and the net since now they know how people find things.

Isn’t that person from imdb mayfrayn? She alwasy puts ^_^ in her posts and fins the couple super sweet.

I don’t know about Australia, but in our town the RMcD house is not even in a hospital building, it’s on the opposite side of the road, near the hospital. The kids in there are receiving some kinda treatment and are may be under care, but it’s not like in a hospital. For example, a child who received cancer cure and is still sick and weak, does not need to be treated by a doctor, only a nurse. A kid who broke his leg and was in a cast might need weeks to rebuild legmuscles and learn to walk again, but no longer needs a doctor, only rehabilitation facilites and an expert to show him exercises to grow strong again. These kids would take up space and beds that other kids in worse condition might need, therefore they are sent into the RMcD house.

Sometimes kids that are from faraway villages and must undergo long term treatment in a hospital can suffer from depression and panic attacks if their parents are not with them. If the parents can’t afford staying in a hotel or to travel to visit the kids every day, they are allowed to stay in the RMcD house while the kid is in the hospital, which, as I said, is another building, and absolutely nothing to do with the house.

I hope I was clear. To me this sighting sounds legit, the only part bothering me is the unclear date.
For anyone interested, the wikipedia article about the houses:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_McDonald_House
I donate my change to that cause whenever I am at their restaurants. Especially since becoming a mother. I even teach my kids to do it.

The poster does have a history posting on IMDB - it appears that the poster is Australian based too, based on the threads that he/she has commented in. I don’t see any reason not to believe that this is true.

Orlando has never alerted the media when he has done such things before - I would guess that he initiated this and MK just tagged along.

You’re right, the Ronald McDonald House is a place where sick kids are either undergoing treatment or recovering and their families stay there with them. It’s not generally attached to the hospital physically.

As for the sighting, I don’t know it its legit or not. It could be either. But I wouldn’t expect her to post pictures if it is legit. For the simple fact that there’s no way I’d post pictures of my sick niece or nepher just to please some fans. I’d consider it private.

I just smell pr again regardless if they went or not.

=======

Precisely. I don’t see this sighting changing anything at all whether it turns out to be true or not.

I think 211 referred to the new poster who asked for pictures, not the OP who told the story.

“Orlando has never alerted the media when he has done such things before - I would guess that he initiated this and MK just tagged along.”

If its legit then that would be my take as well.

Exactly I don’t understand why we shouldn’t believe this sighting

Oh right, got it, guess it would pay for me to read more carefully. LOL. To whoever said they thought it sounded like mayfrayn, they could be right - it does read like her kind of style.

ORLANDO HAS DONE THOSE THINKS IN THE PAST SO I SEE NO REASON NOT TO BELIVE IT SHE MAY HAVE GONE WITH HIM AS ORLANDO IS IN AUSTRALIA TO BE WITH HER SHE TANGED ALONG SO WHAT WHY DISCUSS IF IT IS TRUE OR NOT THEY SAY THERE WERE PICTURES OF IT SO MAYBE WE WILL SEE THEM MAYBE NOT AS AS SOMEBODY SAID IF A LOVED ONE IS IN A HOSPITAL SICK I WOULD NOT POST A PICTURE OF HIM/HER JUST TOM PROVE A POINT

I think it’s true he has been known for doing these things. I think the date and the miranda thing is what people are questioning.

personally i believe that they were just told to go there, but not make a big deal out of it. that way it wouldnt look like they did it for PR, but gee, look, the story got out anyway and awww dont they ever look sweet now.

and yes ofcourse now she’s been back peddling a bit. someone obviously (I doubt it was orlando) told her to shut her trap. and why wouldnt she???? its not like now anybody doestn know she’s effing him.

As much as I initially liked to believe he was smarter then dating this tramp and believed the romance was a fake, I think we can all now safely assume it isnt. I mean for **** sake; she’s met his parents quite a while ago (which was kept quite) and he’s now even met hers (which as everyone knows turned into a big publicity circus.)

@klopt yes I agree with you. I do believe they do enjoy their romance and are happy together. Which would be fantastic if they, well her, just shut up about it.

Generally I believed in OK relationship so why shouldn’t I believe in this one.But I have a feeling that OK did not talk that much about their relationship and did not have their own internet diary (DT).

And the funniest thing is that I am quite sure Miranda or her people read the comments and they are learning more and more what to do or what to say because each time someone here mentions some problem it is momentally solved by Miranda in one of the blurbs for DT or some other interview.

Even if she wanted a different kind of publicity in OZ I think she got a huge amount of it. Unfortunately mostly negative one. Before their trip I even didn;t care about them that much and I thought she’s kind of ok just a little bit annoying sometimes and now I just cannot stand this girl and their showmance.
But it’s their life and if they’re happy about it one can do nothing.

I don’t think anyone said he never dated her at least for a while and she did meet his mom when she was here for Sebastian’s thing. It wasn’t a special trip just to meet the mom.

As for this sighting, it might have happened but ever since the PerezHitlon instant flux of Palm Beach sightings all within the hour I just think they are now getting more savvy as to how to plant these things instead of using one source. Could they have gone, sure. I also wouldn’t put it past them to use friends already establised blogs or whatever to do things like this and the dinner mention from last week. It’s not like she hasn’t been on a mission or anything. what has it been now, three days since she made an idiot of herself with those over possive comments? Silence now? Must put something positve out there to change the subject. Might be true-might not.

i don’t get why them dating is questioned i mean they haded for so long and didn’t talk or weren’t pictured together for months if they have haded you would how have said it was stupid because everybody know they are together what would you prefer they couldn’t pretend to not know each other forever

to be or not to be @ 05/03/2008 at 6:33 pm

It’s amusing that all the little PR machinations that publicists and so on come up with to convince people couples are “real” are always so successful. They met the parents! Well it must be real! I mean, it’s not like anything is ever fake or for show. Not in Hollyweird!

@225
what possesive comments????? ggrr why do I always seem so out of the loop. help me out here guys!

@ellen
she has an internet diary??? and what does DT mean?

read the last of the Red Circle thread from around the 29th on and you will see her comments about knowing where he is 24hrs a day.

Ellen was referring to her commenting to the DT-Daily Telegraph daily. That is a tabloid paper in sydney that loves her and lies for her.

i’ll give you one name jessica biel now she is using justin’s name for all it’s worth getting movie roles she would never get before being with him even getting a vanity fair cover just like that now would she get that cover before being justin timberlake ’s girlfriend? but still i don’t see people say she is a fame ***** they are not a real couple they do set ups to her benefit that they don’t have sex and they are just pr i don’t get why orlando and miranda get that i just don’t

I’ll say it. Biel’s a famewhore. Oh, and a lesbian (not that there’s anything wrong with that but it does mean they aren’t having sex, lol). Step out of your fangirl world and you’ll see many hollywood “relationships” are looked on with a rather dim view.

Um……. #226 poster in blue. Do you have punctuation keys on your keyboard? I see you post all the time, but without one bit of punctuation and really, if you want your posts to be taken seriously (or even read for that matter) do you think you could possibly try using some punctuation? I’m really not trying to be rude, or the grammar/punct nazi, but all the run-on words make it hard to read, and therefore I only skim past what you say. Others have asked you the same question, but it still seems to stay the same. Thanks!

I’d rather hope the relationship was just for PR, at least then the her using his name thing wouldn’t be THAT bad. I mean that would be the whole purpose you know?

But if they are real and it’s happening, I don’t care what anyone says about how happy he might look or whatever; IMHO it’s wrong to use someone you are supposed to care about for your own selfish needs. In my eyes it makes all the pimping and what not even worse. Sure he might not mind but that doesn’t make it right…and maybe it’s just me but I’d never do that to someone I claim to like.

Not to mention I’d wanna excel on my own but that’s another discussion lol.

I always hear about how she met his parents. The reality is she was spotted at the same show as his mom. I doubt there was anything much beyond a polite hello this is Miranda. And his dad came to visit him, and I don’t even think she was in LA at the time. He was seen with her dog, or maybe cher’s dog, but I don’t remember any hard evidence that they met. When they were in London it was only for a couple of days and a quick couple of days at that, I personally don’t think he has made a big deal about her to his family, because he isn’t really that proud of the show they are putting on. Is he doing her, sure he is she is availabe and has a great body, he is very capable of sex without really feeling much for a person, as demonstrated by his long string of one night stands. Does he really like her, I kinda think that she blew any chance of him really caring about her, when her mouth started to flap like a barn door. She is Ms Right Now and good for PR, but I really think this thing is almost over. It won’t be a big break up. but a gradual fading away. I will say if it turns out to be real, and this is the type of women he really thinks is great, someone so fake, and such a famew0ore. the he has lost me as a fan. I have one foot out the door as it is, but I keep hoping he will get back to work and grow up, still have a small bit of hope.

There was EXTENSIVE analization of the pic with Colin Stone holding a Yorkie and walking with Orlando. Comparisons were made between Frankie(?) and that dog, and they really did look different. One seemed bigger, different shaped face, and much lighter in color, so FWIW I’m pretty sure it wasnt Mirandas dog based on that. I dont bother much though with the whole photo analyzing thing though as I got very put off by it a couple of years ago. Just adding what some at IMDB concluded with the pics.

Regardless of whether or not Miranda has met any of Orlandos family, press conferences and photo ops werent called by him about it. Shows who is fame hungry for his name and status.

I’m afraid that’s real. If he doesn’t use the internet he may not know what she talks about and how often she talks about him. So she may stay this lovely-super sweet - loving green&children&mature girl who seems to be perfect. I don;t think his PR people mind of she mentions him all the time because as someone mentioned here it is also publicity for him. It turned out to be a negative kind of publicity but who cares in this business. It;s all about talking about you.
I tend to think it won’t be over so soon and I kind of believe they are good for each other. I can see them engaging and getting married with Dily Telegrap recording each minute of the event and wire image having it in their archives a year earlier ‘Orlando Bloom&Miranda Kerr’s Wedding”.

Fer sweet……wouldnt that just be the end all. Maybe they will put it up as an online album. “Here’s ME in my beeyouteefull dress!” “Heres me with my beeyouteefull husband…oh wait! Just get meeee please!”

I really really hope you are wrong, but we won’t know until it all plays out. It is better than survivor. I don’t think he will play that game. And while he has said in the past he isn’t Internet savy, I think he may have grown up a bit technological wise. And he has friends and family who do use the Internet and I bet are telling him exactly what is going on. Now maybe he is shallow enough and self involved enough to end up with her, but I am holding out some hope that he isn’t. I hope that man has enough self respect to really try to find someone who loves him just for himself, and not what he can do for their career. I think he has it in him, and I hope I am not disappointed.
I also think his PR people may think this whole showmance has gone south, since even legitmate gossip shows and magazines are making snide remarks about the whole relationship. He isn’t looking to good anywhere right now.

Well he doesn’t look good now but people talk about him much more than they talked before.
I also hope I am wrong but I kind of doubt it. I think they seem happy together and there won’t be any soon end. Well the truth is we gotta wait and see but yea I see them like FroFro said with the internet album with lots of photos and quotes from her family, friends and herself. Oh and of course I am sure Orlando will have a bodyguard not to feel to comfortable at his own wedding! lol

I’m more apt to put my money on a restraining order rather than a marriage license.

@fro fro
What, you think he may find a rabbit boiling on his stove, yeah I could see that! :)

Regardless of any sightings he still doesn’t look like a man in love for me. Yep, they are probably together in a mutual eff and PR kinda relationship, but hardly twu vuw. Which doesn’t mean they won’t get married, I know people that spend their lives with a less than satisfying partner, partly because they are lazy/scared to try their luck and look for someone better, partly because they are to disillusioned to believe they can find a soulmate (and OB looks and behaves kinda disillusioned lately). Also, I wonder if SGI encourages their members to find partners within their ranks. So yeah, I can see it happening but cannot see him being happy ever after.

“too disillusioned” - damn, I wish I could edit my posts.

I think even Orlando is smart enough to see that she really isn’t a SGI but only became one for him. That and the rest of his causes as well.
Nah, not worried about marriage.He has given off a completely different vibe as to what this relationship is to him then she has.

If this is a showmance, which most people agree it is, then I don’t think its serious for Orlando. I do think he is part of it but I don’t think he would do it if it was really important to him. Despite all his faults I still think he cares about relationships and when he does find one he is serious about it will be private not just from him but her yapping as well.
You also can’t deny that he has shown resistance on this trip and even right before. If it was real, and he cared for her wouldn’t he have gone to the airport with her if they were doing this the same way?
I think he would have played more into it with the lunch as well if that was the case. All we have from the trip is him doing just enough to show he was there and the rest is just her mouth and no proof.
He really hasn’t acted at all like a man who cares that much about her let alone be in love with her.
I saw wait and see.

meant to say “wait ” and see.

no, I meant “say” wait and see.
LOL,. I need my coffee, just woke up! sorry. No more posting for me until the first cup.

I tend to agree about the carying thing. He usually tries to protect his family and friends because I do believe he hangs out with them and there aren;t many photos of his friends.

I also think that it would be more natural for me, and more convincing that they are just a normal common couple, if they came together to the airport, just like a normal couple without the ‘meet my dad’ show.
NO Miranda, NOW it’s too late to do the departure thing. lol

A new sighting:

“Oh, I saw Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr. As I was waiting (with 2 other students) outside the Just shoot Lomography store, a Lexus was parking a couple of meters away from us. Then Orlando stepped out, then Miranda got out of the car (she was parking). I later found out they came into the store whilst we were in the backyard learning.”"

source:http://raverria.blogspot.com/2008/05/i-have-been-yearning-to-do-some-sort-of.html

Should have started with spontanious looking sightings like that and we’d believe it all. Now it’s too late for me. :)

exactly, it’s almost like the added the “with 2 other students” just because the melbourne sighting had three people. At least the three had a purpose for being mentioned while this just seems thrown in there for a point. LOL.

as we’ve said before, even when they try and send out pictures it should be questioned since they’re usually staged or not even what they truely say so how much more when there is none. This story is a true case of “believe none of what you hear and half of what you see”.

http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,23643951-5012980,00.html

Bloomie would rather drinks sake than be with MK!

When asked why he hadn’t attended any shows at AFW, Bloom said he would “rather be here drinking sake”.

It had been rumoured Bloom would make an AFW appearance.

By the time the group left the restaurant, Qconfidential understands Bloom was well lubricated and gave the table’s pretty waitress a kiss on the side of her lips on his way out. Perhaps Kerr now wishes she had stayed by her beau’s side.

I find it ironic that this sighting is in a camera shop of sorts.

to be fair @ 05/04/2008 at 10:51 am

#252
I would love this story to be true and hope that it is but since we always say we need to take things that come from the DT and their affiliates as suspect-I think we need to do that here too.

There has been nothing from her since she made a fool of herself saying she knows where he is 24/7. I wonder if this is either him taking a piss at that or her/her friends at DT writing something to let her take the hit to make up for it.

I don’t know obviously, but that tab always has an agenda and I just think its important to be consistent and not just believe the things we want.

On the other hand maybe even the tabs there are starting to put the pieces together.

252 haha what a funny story! I don’t take it as true but it’s very funny.

I think it’s true because it sounds like OB. But what we do say is these stories come from her camp or from pr. This could be like the stinky story from Star after he dissed her at the Oscars. Perhaps this is the start of the end. Or perhaps OB wants to get the ‘rea’l story out there as to diminish what she’s said anddone. We’re bieng spun for sure. Depends which camp you think the spin is from. But the story? I believe the sighting in and of itself. OB out with friends getting drunk? I have no problem believing he went out drinking with his friend from NK. Sure thing.

We can agree on that part-its spin from someone and what they are trying to make us believe.
it might be that they see the eff’ed up and went too far the first time so they threw Orli a bone to make him look like a man again and not a handbag or a child to be babysat.

I have no problem with the idea of him getting drunk either, but they might know that people know that about him so it was easy to write.
Or like you say it might be the beginning of the end and this will be part of it-make it look like orli the playboy got out of hand.
The main thing is that to remember the source -as you said-so of course there is some kind of spin going on for some reason that we will have to see what happens next to see why.

why you people belive only negative stuff but positive stuff put about this two are bullshit pr and false? is it because you hate them together and want to belive they are not happy?

I think ir may be true. It sounds like him, and this is not the sort of sighting that Miranda would be happy to have out there, so I doubt it came from her camp. I think this may be all Bloom. After his girlfriend made him sound completely whipped and under her thumb 24/7. Maybe he wanted her to see that wasn’t true, and she needed to back off. I can see him doing this, it is the same passive/aggressive behavior we have seen from before,

What I find hysterical is, remember after the accident when his cousin Sebastian said Olrando is clean living and never drinks. One of the few mentions of him by his family and it is a total lie. Clean living he smokes and drinks. And it seems he is incapable of just having a drink or two, he almost alway seem to end up hammered. I mean I know smoking is a hard habit to break. and he is a single guy so getting drunk occsaionally is kind of normal. But he is getting older, you would think he would maybe start to exhibit more responsible behavior.

*pops more corn and even orders pizza, then leans back comfortably*

I also noticed in the 2 ausi papers the endings are different . One says there were heading to new york while the other says she wished she didn’t leave his side. I think one is trying to protect her and the other has caught on to them or her. That just my opinion and I just thought he probaly would say that if he were drunk are just tired of the bs.

So, right after Miranda lays out her future plans for the kind of house she wants (conveniently similar to Orlando’s with the solar panels and landscaping and a possible big bath tub), marriage and exactly 3 kids, timed perfectly with the Internet gossip sites mentioning how serious things must be getting since Orlando met the family (!), lookie what we have here. ;)

Aaaw..which article was more pro-Kerr? Of course Daily Telegraph! Soooo sweet! …

So they came back to NYC and probably get back to LA where the showmance go on. Or maybe not?

“I also noticed in the 2 ausi papers the endings are different . One says there were heading to new york while the other says she wished she didn’t leave his side.”

Which articles are you referring to? Can you post links please?

sorry, never mind. I’ve found what you were talking about.

Dating Avice for Orlando @ 05/04/2008 at 12:24 pm

Dating advice for Orlando (and Miranda) :

http://msn.match.com/msn/article.aspx?articleid=7757&TrackingID=516311&BannerID=544657&menuid=6&GT1=26000

I doubt he thinks about these things, but after coming across the article, I thought it made good sense and mentioned some good points. Would be interesting to know if Orlando asks questions about the women he dates and whether or not he shows a *genuine* interest in them, or how he deals with his anger, or if he’s still trying to find himself and figure himself out. I’ll let the article speak for itself. The last part about not making comparisons was a really good point made, IMO. We often tend to think other people have it better, when in fact, things are not always what they seem on the surface.

So, if they’ve flown back to New York, does that mean they might be at that Met Gala thing?

Who said they were going to the Met thing? The only source was some random poster at TFS. It’s way more likely the paper knew they left Oz (were told) and assumed they were going to NYC because she lives there. She said herself she was off to LA next, if she was going to one of the biggest A-list events of the calendar she’d surely have mentioned it, non? We shall see.

I didn’t find it. Are you saying it was just the dt and this sister rag with the same article but one or two sentences different at the end?

about done? @ 05/04/2008 at 12:41 pm

Is anyone else about done with this craapp?
We all know it’s a facade or at the very least two very messed up people.
If he doesn’t cut and run asap when he gets back then I don’t think
I can follow him anymore. This is just getting too stupid watching
a 31 year old man act like this. It’s not even entertaining any more it just looks pitiful.

Or even if they went back together since they didn’t arrive together.I get the feeling OB was miffed about the 24hr watch comment and maybe even the slam at KB.

I don’t know if kate boz knows what is being said but she might since they have the same people work for them. I just thought it was interesting that Jared had a thread yesterday with KB and James at the airport all over each other. It was probably nothing but it made me wonder if it was a little f-U to MK for her slam as to say “At least my bf isn’t ashamed to be seen with me and doesn’t take separtate flights”

All in all MK didn’t get a lot of out this trip and even made more people see it for the charade it is.

I’d rather be drinking sake than sitting at a fashion show, too. Doesn’t mean I wouldn’t then want to go home with Miranda.

Why does the thought of these two being a relationship bend some people so out of shape??

Orlis fan @ 05/04/2008 at 1:20 pm

omg Veronice you are so mad at Orli because he is riding on a bike!!!so??? his life and he can put it in any danger he likes!!!! and also I don’t undrestand why girls are so angry at him cause he is dating Miranda Kerr…why??because she is a supermodel????and???? it’s her job!!!! that’ what she chose to do and that’s what she will continue doing!!!!! also again his life and he is choosing his relationship!!!!I think that for all of us(orli’s fans) is out of our business of who Orlando will be dating!!!!

punctuation @ 05/04/2008 at 1:25 pm

What is with some of these shippers? Some are allergic to punctuation and some drown us in it. Alas, can’t we find a happy medium?

yea right. So when they say he was by her side do they mean in the same way they said he was ‘by her side’ when she was posing in the underground parking last week while he hadn’t arrived yet.
Freakin’ liars. You just never know if anything they say is true.

klopt @272 @ 05/04/2008 at 1:55 pm

wiiiii, I just read the whole “rather be drinking sake” and maybe their is hope still hope for him yet, that she doesnt have his balls in her VS purse. thats all I want. I dont care if he’s dating her (altough i’m not exactly fond of her) but I wish he’d be at least a bit more of a man about it.

@272 what KB slamming??? has anyone else heard about that? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????

@ Jaded, what do you mean by SGI?

Sokkai Gakkai International. Orlando practices Nishiren Buddhism and is a member of this particualr (and by some seen as contiversial) organisation.

the haters think good stuff =lie,pr bullshit bad stuff = the truth

Shippers think anything “good” = true anything “bad”= omg not saint orlikins!!! Different sides of the same coin, my friend.

no, I think you will find people are questioning everyting.
yesterday some believed the hospital sighting (good stuff)
then some others believed the kissing blonde sighting (bad stuff)
but they were both questioned which is well deserved considering the history.

Oh BTW that blog sighting was prob a pile of doo doos, it has now mysteriously been pulled! When I clicked the link it says “blog not found”.. methinks someone was bullshiiting why else has it gone?

That sure does add to the theory that they are trying new ways of putting things out there besides the DT.
They KNOW that Orli fans do blog seaches and all the other places that are checked since it is talked about here so much.

What blog? The photography store? It’s still there.

It wasnt when I just checked i an hour agot, well either way why wouldnt an australian spell meters the aussie way (metres)? That in itself gives it a way to me, but who knows?

It wouldn’t work for me either when I looked about 2 hours ago, but it is working now.

new pics. @ 05/04/2008 at 6:08 pm

Of Orlando and MK at the Oz airport. MK’s smiling like an idiot for the paps. and Orlando’s striding ahead.

They don’t look that happy after all, do they? Of course Miranda is smiling she’s always smiling the showmance goes on.

Though there they are, the photos from the airport, leaving together. Lovely.

whereeee ?????? paste the link pleasee!!!!!

the sydney thread @ 05/04/2008 at 8:19 pm

Dont bother posting as why give them attention? Im staying here what say you?

they are dating ******* i don’t care so please get over it and celebrate when and if they break up

something smells @ 05/04/2008 at 9:13 pm

@249 and the blog sighting outside the lomography store.

The shirt Orlando is wearing in the airport pictures looks like it could be a shirt from the Sydney Lomography store. They do have some really cool shirts and the graphics on his black shirt kind of looks like some of their accessories.

They could have stopped by. Miranda is into photography, after all. She recently had a showing of a couple of her photographs at a celebrity event. Nature shots, cuz you know, she’s so into the green, the organics of stuff.

lets everybody talk about how hot the man is looking these days

about new pics @ 05/04/2008 at 10:51 pm

Where’s the happy face he had a few days (or however long it was) ago when the cameras were flashing then? It’s back to head down and all that nonsense.

I’m a firm believer people can say/think whatever they want about them but I hope no one pulls the “evil paps” explanation because we all know that’s not the case.

http://elflady.com/orlandolove/showthread.php?t=11815

He doesn’t look so happy. They are never photographed walking together, and while she is smiling in one it appears she is trying to make the best of an awkward situation, He has a tight look about his mouth that seems to indicate he is unhappy.

I wonder if they will even sit together on the fligth. He looks like he has about had it with her, and she looks like she kind of knows it.

‘We’re so happy!’ Another OK interview? Lovely. Hope someone gets the scans.

http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y160/whosoldherout/?action=view&current=ok2-1.jpg

http://elflady.com/orlandolove/showthread.php?t=11815

Looks like he may have been telling her to keep her mouth shut. She doesn’t seem happy about what he is saying. Maybe the boy actually grew a pair.

All of us knew that after the controversial arrival they’d be snapped departing together, and there you go. There’s even a t-shirt to prove their previously questioned visit to the camera store. How convenient. *rolls eyes*

And the German rag about her thinking he would be a great dad:
http://www.viply.de/?p=6162

Orlando is Miranda´s puppet now. She is going to be more famous than Orlando and then…

why does anyone believe anything she says in any of these interveiews?
I just saw on the new airport thread about her new radio interview where she talks about how they met.
Of course it’s damage control to get a clean version of the story out there.
Same with the OK/Who type stuff it’s straight BS. This is the same girl that gave 3 or so reasons why she didn’t go to the oscar parties to make it all look so happy and normal. She lies!

The most telling of those pix for me are the ones outside when they first arrive. He doesn’t even look at her and is totally off in another direction. Total bad body language. Then the first shot of them getting in the door he is already way ahead of her to start with.

@Jaded, didn’t they say he was wearing a black and white t-shirt when he was hitting on the waitress? Probably the same one since he doesn’t like to change. Must be his new favorite.

have you heard her interview on Kyle&Jackie O ?

I have no words for that. But I think she’s a fun person, she can joke. I liked the one ‘ We are quite private’.

OMG, as if he wasn’t pissed enough, now she makes him look like a relationship breaking, di*k controlled a$$hole?! And she was all shy and refused to give him her number, BUT HER BOYFRIEND’S SISTER gave it to him? OMG what f*cked up crew! Hey girls, you give Australia a bad name!

so what did she say about the boxers?

Isn’t Jay/Brent’s sister her publicist, so her agent is probably a different person who handles contracts and bookings. But regardless, a person who’s interest is in protecting their client. I cannot believe that her personal phone number would be given out without her expressed approval. But then again, I also don’t believe that she played coy and didn’t give him her number.

And “we are quite private” after talking about him and making him look like a stalker in the interview? After talking about him incessantly for weeks? Was she trying to be ironic? Or did she mean “he is quite private”? Will someone please teach her how to shut the f#ck up?

No really I cannot stand this girl. And she is so fakely sweet, her voice her ‘aww’ ‘yeeeeeey’. I just really… I am a very steady person and generally try not to be impolite or rude but this is too much. She is too much. Such a silly celebrity- wannabe.
And if it comes to Buddhism and chanting..it’s not exactly about material stuff…Well but here it’s ok it’s not forbbiden to chant for material stuff but I’ve always been told it’s not about that. But well I guess, it doesn’t matter that much.

The day I hear my husband talk about my underwear to a complete stranger will be the day I file for divorce.

None of this sounds very good. She made it sound like he chased after her and broke up her and Jay? Is there a link to this interview any where? I really would like to know why Bloom is putting up with this. He can’t be that pu$$y whipped can he?

http://www.2dayfm.com.au/shows/kyleandjackieo/listen/guests
scroll down to Miranda Kerr and you can download it

The first part is her making her self sound good, what a nice clean girl she is. Then it gets interesting, she is telling lies, changing the truth about her story about Paris. Says she wouldn’t give him her phone number, but he called her agent and she gave it to him. Wow so much for confidentiality. What type of agent gives out a client’s phone number, after said client refused to give it out herself. Even if it is a celebrity who calls and asks for it. Then she says they were just friends. Wonder what her boyfriend thought about that, especially since she dumped him for this supposed friend. The girl is a piece of work

it can’t be that. Look at the look on his face at the airport and other times. He isn’t acting like someone in love, lust or even infatuation with her so it must be something else.
If he was into this wouldn’t he be doing more to make it look like something?
If you think about it they weren’t seen together after the week of photo setups in LA until OZ which seemed very strained. The last was the getty and then the odd NY airport pics with the dog which strangely disappeared as he left. (handed to him perhaps?) The rest is just her big mouth which if she is talking it means she is lying.

Thank you #312. I’ll check out the interview later but from what I have read here it does not sound very flattering, to either of them.

No matter how they try to spin it now I have always had the feeling that she was not faithful to Jay and if he pursued her, well my opinion of him just dropped even more. To me it seems he has no respect for others relationships. The fact that she was in a relationship should have been enough for him. Obviously, it wasn’t.

“Orlando is Miranda´s puppet now.”
I couldn’t have said it better myself. This is how I see this relationship. It seems he likes it this way, to me anyway. So they deserve he other.

What is left of his fandom must be going nuts. Saint Orlando is no more (not that he ever was). I’m a bit nauseated by the whole thing.

Well, I married a guy who was my friend when I was with my previous bf, but he kept his distance until that relationship was irrevocably over, and he had nothing to do with our break up, and when I asked my hubby if he wanted to hit on me before, he said “yea, but you were so clearly his, I knew another guy would not stand a chance”.

Here we have a saying: a good relationship is like a pair of scissors, the two blades might be further apart from each other sometimes, but should anything intrude between them…
IMHO a strong couple cannot be torn apart by a third person, only if the relationship had problems.
Which does not make hitting on a married/taken person any better, no. There’s no excuse for that. Just a little something I’ve experienced.
And before anyone asks: no, I don’t believe that story just because she said so. I don’t know for sure what happened, none of us do. But she lost her credibility long ago.

you are all faifuth people angels you never liked someone that was taken you are so perfect and moral people **** the pope compered to you people is bin laden

That blind item was posted weeks ago, while he was in LA and hadn’t been seen out of the country for a while, well before the Oz PRfest happened. So while it sounds like him (B+, biggest films, etc), the dates don’t match up to what he’s done recently.

@318 Thanks for clearing that, I didn’t find the original post, so I didn’t know the date. Now I feel better. :) Honestly.

Miranda just donot know how to shut her mouth, the only good thing about her talking so much, it might bring an end to kerrbloom. He looks pissed as hell in those airport pictures but still hot.

Actually the item was posted April 19. Miranda showed up in Oz on the 21st, but we really don’t know when he got there. He could have flown into Melbourne, since there was a sighting of him there, and then flown to Sydney where he was snapped. It could be possible.
But who knows. It could be why he wasn’t seen at all until the races. And remember when she said that he was swimming with her dad and brother. She was so obviously lying. She could be trying to cover it up. The jet lag story was pretty lame . And you can have your stomach pumped and be let go the same day or the next, I know that. Could be true, but who knows.

Also if he wasn’t in Oz, he was still in New York, so there is no way he was in still in LA. I think it could be possible., His eyes look dead so much, and drugs can do that to you.

what do you think? @ 05/05/2008 at 3:52 pm

I was mowing the lawn this weekend, and since it’s such any incredibly engaging chore, I found myself thinking about all of this, and I wondered what others were thinking too:

I realized I couldn’t give two fr*ckin’ whoos if he ever makes TRC, or any other movies for that matter, ever again! I have absolutely no anticipation, no excitement. no interest. Even with Chow and/or Neeson(ooh men men!), and an interesting storyline, (if) Bloom being in it will be a turnoff for me. I’m not inclined to see anything he does anymore.
This realization was a shock for me.

I know I’ll be mocked around the boards by what’s left of the old Temple Gargoyles, but this is why I feel this way:

Whenever I see Bloom on screen, he’s a distraction–and not for the normal reason lol. All I can think about is all this other cr*p surrounding him–the mess, the PR, the overhype, the games, his CELEBRITY– and I completely lose any connection with character, story, or film. All I see is Mr. Hollywood.
And let’s face it, he isn’t a talented or skilled enough actor to transcend any of that; to draw you into the character and story and film despite his face and fame. I love movies, serious or just for fun, but I don’t want to go when it will be overshadowed by such unpleasant things. What a turn off.
Just wondering what others might be thinking/feeling about this?

I didn’t feel that way before. He was captivating as Legolas, and I thought he was cute in the first Pirate’s movie. I enjoyed Kingdom of Heaven, and Troy was just OK. But you are right. I didn’t find him so exciting on screen that I felt that this is an actor who I will go see in anything. There are actors and actresses I do feel that way about, but not him.

And now with all this celebrity crap, pawing women, constant one night stands. constant drinking to excess, and possible drug use. The whole three ring circus with this tramp of a girl has turned me off, and I am not sure he would hold my interest as a character in a movie. I think I would be thinking what a fake he is all the time. I wonder if he realizes the damage he has done to himself.This could also be why there are no movies mentioned that are for sure. Red Circle is talked about, but still nothing positive about it. And I wonder if he has allowed his self to become a mockery in Hollywood with his antics and no one wants him for anything serious anymore.
And the teenage fan base has all but faded away. There are still some die hard fans, but they are few. He isn’t really A list any more. His acting skills are questionable at best. His fan base has all but disappeared. He just doesn’t have much going for him right now. Except a celebrity lifestyle that he plays to the hilt, and a girlfriend that is a social climber, name dropping, crass piece of trash. And now she has painted him as someone who pursues another mans girl. (although I believe she hopped on board and he didn’t have to do any pursuing). Not much to show for all those big movies he was in. Not much to show for the last almost ten years of fame. He may have been in some of the biggest movies of the last years, but he always played a side kick. The ones that he played the lead in didn’t do well at all. Kingdom of Heaven was a disappointment. Haven practically went straight to video, and Elizabethtown was a complete and total mess. He would be better served by going home to London, taking some acting classes, not classes on how to be a celebrity, And then working his way back up. Doing some small roles in respected Indie films, proving that his acting has improved and earning back the respect from producers and fans that he so casually threw away. In other words grow up and take responsiblity for his life and his career.
Although I think he is addicted to fame and to sex, and has a problem with alcohol so he may have a hard time ahead of him, unless he gets some help

I already have one thank you, and it is a fulfilled busy one. You on the other hand must be sadly lacking in that area since you have time to seek out posters on old threads to admonish them, and wave a proverbial finger in their face. Do you also stop people on the street and yell loudly in their faces to repent because the end is near?

So take what you have of your pathetic existance and try to depart with some small semblance of whatever dignity you can muster together.

Bye Now

o please i don’t think about the life of someone i don’t know as much as you do and i don’t say i won’t see a actors movies just because i don’t like his girlfriend seriously how old are you?

pathetic to say that orlando is in deep **** just because he is dating what’s her face he seems to be fine he just needs to do a movie and this nonsense about him being on a break will be over and when and if he will break up with his girlfriend and he finds a new one you will say the same thinks you say about miranda about the new one so predictable

Idon’t think her having a big mouth is a bad thing . I believe that might be his way out of the relationship he is letting her put her foot in her mouth. That might be the reasonhe isn’t saying much and I don’t believe her story at all about how they met my brother would cuss me out .Then again the rumor of jay being involved with this might be true so she might have put her foot in her mouth again.

Oh,please. You are here thinking about the lives of those of us who post here, and you don’t know us. You obviously have some deep seated need to puff yourself up, and to make yourself feel good, but trying to make others feel badly about themselves. Sorry, it doesn’t work. You are just plain sad, because you must find some way to put others down in order to make yourself feel superiour. But really you are a bit like an annoying fly. so consider yourself swatted and flattened. And I will pay no more attention to you, you don’t rate it.
silly person

If that interview isn’t damage control work at it’s finest, then I don’t know what is. I seriously think she’s trying to play the sweet/cute card WAY too much, but it makes sense to do that she has to rewrite history to make him all cheeky and herself this angel who did the good thing until her agent went behind her back and gave out her number. Which is a wtf moment in itself. What if he’d been like a maniac or something?

But like someone else said this could back fire on her. Painting Orlando as one of those guys who don’t care/respect other guys/relationships might not sit well with his fans. And honestly I don’t see how it could paint him as anything else.

you all act as orlando and miranda invented cheating like it doesn’t happen all the time all around the world and that you all feel like jay is your brother or something im sure the guy is over it by now he is hot and maybe has a new girlfriend

“you all act as orlando and miranda invented cheating like it doesn’t happen all the time all around the world”

What a fascinating arguement. Murder, rape, theft, all these things happen all the time all around the world too. The thing that all of these things have in common is someone gets hurt. Now while cheating doesn’t earn you a jail sentence, it hurts just as much as some of these other crimes. I would rather have something stolen from me than to have some I loved and trusted cheat on me with someone else. It is such a betrayal of yourself, and the relationship that you built together. It totally makes me dislike and compelely lose respect for someone who would do that to another. Whether or not they are the partner in the relationship. or the one tempting them to cheat. It really makes me question both of the people inlvolved integrity. It seems Orlando has little respect for anyone, except what he wants, and so does Miranda. They are both cheaters, and those things tend to come back and bite you in the ass. i hope she finds a bigger fish and cheats on him and dumps him, and then I hope it happens to her. The sorry thing is that I don’t believe either of them is capable of a investing themselves heart and soul into a realtionship, they are incapable of taking it seriously. People like that are always looking out for number one and are never able to love someone else more than themselves. I doubt they ever will be capable of doing that.

Haven’t had a chance to read all the posts yet but am staying true to the “keep off her thread and stay on here” principle - I wanted to mention 2 articles I came across this morning on MK which are quite hypocritical…

The first article is from Gossip Girls tallking about her kissing booth thing for that new perfume - but they add this: “Meanwhile, in related news, Miranda recently spoke of the desperate lengths that her Pirates of the Caribbean boyfriend Orlando Bloom went to woo her, telling, “He was a little bit cheeky actually. He got my number from my agent because I wouldn’t give it to him because I was seeing someone else then.” Kerr continued: “Then he called and said: ‘We can just be friends.’ And I was like: ‘Okay then.’ After that things changed and we became more then just friends.”

Now the 2nd news article from E!online completely contradicts it by saying: “Miranda Kerr may be the face of Victoria’s Secret new fragrance, Heavenly Kiss, but don’t ask her who she’s been kissing lately. Questions about boyfriend Orlando Bloom were off limits earlier today when Kerr was promoting the scent at L.A.’s Grove mall”. The article uses the ridiculous headline, “Orlando Bloom’s Babe won’t kiss and tell” when we all know that’s all she has been doing….. and the 1st article proves it!

Naturally, she talked about her new BOOK in the 2nd article so she’s doing her best to promote herself now that she has everyone’s interest cos I’m sure she knows that won’t last if she splits with OB.

wondering too @ 05/07/2008 at 12:20 pm

I wonder if VS has told her that she can’t talk about him while she is working at promoting their line? She was directed by someone at the bra promotion to keep to the product.

I read in one of the other threads that only 50 people showed up for this latest event. I wonder what VS thought of that?

FRESH from her David Jones tour of duty Down Under, model of the moment Miranda Kerr helped launch lingerie megabrand Victoria’s Secret new fragrance Heavenly Kiss in Los Angeles yesterday.

Pretty in pink, the home-grown stunner gave away personalised autograph kisses from her very own kissing booth.

Her beau, Orlando Bloom, was nowhere in sight, but there’s no doubt it’s true love between the two.

From globe-trotting to grocery shopping, the hot couple jetted straight out of Sydney at the weekend and back to life in La La Land, hitting the Whole Foods supermarket in Hollywood.

Kerr stocked up on supplies, with Bloom relegated to trolley duties.

Model of the moment? Trolley duties? I guess you get what you deserve. This is from an OZ paper.

This Book @ 05/07/2008 at 2:40 pm

I wonder if she’s really writing a book or is this another pr ploy to make her look like she’s Mother Theresa. I haven’t heard anything about her having a book deal with any publisher and I remember a comment DT made about her looking for a publisher when they came out with that bs engagement story. I hate to give this clown any ideas but if she actually gets her book published, I gotta feeling she’s probably gonna throw a parade or have some other kind of over the top celebration over nothing.

Bookquestion @ 05/08/2008 at 8:53 pm

What’s the book about. How is this book going to be somewhat understandable if this girl can’t even speak properly.

Everyone,

Here’s the latest OB mention from MK! She really can’t help herself can she? I thought she’d been told to keep her mouth shut?????? Well, it obviously didn’t work!

Here’s the artice:

ORLANDO LOVES VICTORIA’S SECRET

Published in THE SUN newspaper

I’M sure there are a lot of perks to dating a supermodel - although I never thought free underwear was one of them.

But Lord of the Rings star ORLANDO BLOOM is relishing the fact girlfriend MIRANDA KERR is a model for Victoria’s Secret.

The Aussie beauty revealed her privileges as a lingerie clothes horse also extends to her man, saying: “I do get to pick out things from any Victoria’s Secret store and take them home - as long as I don’t go mad.

“Orlando has been in one or two times too. He picked up some really nice boxer shorts which look really good on him. He’s really into their men’s section.”

Can you guys believe her??? I’ve never heard anyone talk about how their bf looks in boxer shorts before!!!! No matter how famous they are - it’s very cheap and tacky and makes her look even more of an airhead!

And how come he had to buy boxer shorts from the DJ store in Sydney while he was there if he gets them free from Victoria’s Secret?????

You know this shows that she really cannot think for others or herself.
If Orlando has any dignity he would dump her or tell her to silence herself. She really isn’t also thinking about him. Where did you find this info?

It was on the website for The Sun:

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/article1141978.ece

There’s also another article there (to the right under his pic) which has her VERSION of how they got together where she bragged about OB going after her… It’s called “Blooming Kerr-afty approach” just click on it to read.

I feel sorry for OB - maybe I shouldn’t but I do. I get the feeling that he goes into his relationships with his heart on his sleeve and is very intense wanting everything to be perfect and very soon after he realises it isn’t and the girl is not what he had expected but doesn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings and is too disappointed to try to do anything about it. So he ends up prolonging a one-sided relationship which only does the gf good by elevating her profile.

At the moment, he looks like a lost sheep who doesn’t know which way he is going or what he is doing - he really needs someone’s guidance… someone to put his straight! I think he should go back to the UK and spend some quality time with his family that should ground him if nothing else will…

becky blue eyes @ 05/09/2008 at 3:27 am

I may be stating the obvious here but have you noticed how Orlando always looks much happier when he’s on his own or just hanging out with his guy friends? He seems really genuinely happy and himself - when he’s with MK, he looks very uncomfortable and out of place and his smile seems fake just for the cameras…

I found another article everyone which hints that TRC is going ahead with Orlando involved. It’s an article about how celebs ship their pets and it talks about Sidi going to Hong Kong with Orlando. Here it is:

The secret to celebrity doggy travel is a Southern California company called Pacific Pet Transport… The company can also help pets avoid lengthy quarantines by filing applications in advance with the right authorities.

For example, Bloom is soon headed for Hong Kong to do some filming. He has arranged for Sidi, his dog, to go with him. Nathan Andersen of Pacific Pet Transport says that Bloom regularly ships Sidi to his filming locations, and often on a studio’s dime. PPT will make sure all of Sidi’s shots and medical exams are in order so that the dog can meet Orlando in Asia with minimal delay.

“It’s not too difficult,” Andersen tells this B!tch. “We just need to make sure Sidi is microchipped, has the right health certifications and that we’ve applied for the right import permits.”

The estimated cost for that kind of international, door-to-door service: $4,000. All in a day’s expenses for an A-list boy and his dog…

I don’t know how authentic this article is but it does give us all some hope that Orlando will be working AGAIN very soon!!!!!!!!! FINALLY :)

He needs to go back to his familly and I also think he doesn’t belong here in LA. He’s Brittish for crying out loud. He needs to get a private life and not be seen, untill he starts working.

To: Iagree

Well said!!!!!!!!!! :)

This post doesn’t seem to be used a lot. you should see the current one. Its almost to 900.

hes racing away form miranda!! the shackles are off. lol. no. when the last time he brushed his hair?

Please let this be our new post. What do you say guys?

let’s do it.

/..From the other thread.. lets keep this here, hope everyone else comes too

Great. I hope so too. For now on im only going to com here. So what do you say lets make this another 1000 and so on.

I dont have that much more to add but I will jump in when I see something I want to comment on.

Yeah I dont know what else to talk about, it’s getting late were im at and well it’s nice we can continue somewere else for a change until hopefully their will be a new Orlando thread not including Kerr.

posted this over at the other thread in answer to someone thought I would bring it over here to post too.

@2160
No offense taken, as I said the person who told me about it had it second or third hand himself. It could have been knowing my interest in Orlando, he was showing off. I do know he had some connections to the theatre in London behind the scenes. From what he said Orlando felt pretty much like he was laughed out of London by many of peers, and the party stuff was at private parties not the GQ thing at all. I was interested in what he had to say because he sounded like he might know something, but he wasn’t a close friend of mine more a casual aquaintence and I took it all with a huge gulp of salt. I might consider it more carefully now since he has strenously avoided London, but still it would be a huge stretch for me to totally buy it. Just something for consideration, and again I want to state it was rumors and I have no idea if the source was trustworthy or not.

Goodnight it is getting late, but its good we have a new place.

Why would he be laphed out of london if people surrouned him and waited for him outside of the theatr. But like you said cant really trust the source, maybe a rumor.

I thought that I would bring this response over, since you brought the original post over….

“I’m sorry, but I can’t believe that he was being “laughed out of London”. If any laughing was involved, it was Orlando laughing all the way to the bank. I’m sure that he has developed a pretty thick skin for dealing with theatre snobs who believe that if you become rich as an actor, you aren’t really an actor because you aren’t suffering enough. Please. Orlando couldn’t care less about those people’s opinions.
He’s been in LA because of certain projects under development, that’s all. Nothing more. He may be back in England now because everything is coming to a halt at the end of this month because of the strike. Next people will be claiming that he is going to the Arctic because he is being laughed out of LA.”

@357

I am not sure I believe it myself. It happened in Dec 07 while I was visiting friends in London. I have thought about if off and on, and only commented because of the the anon poster who said they knew why he had left London so fast. The guy came across as believable, and I know he did work in the theatre world because the guy who introduced him to me is a good friend and vouched for that. The rest of it, who knows. I am not saying it is gospel, just some interesting gossip that I came across and since it had to do with something that another brought up I shared it. From what the guy said it wasn’t his fans, it was some of his peers and many actors in the theatre community who had problems with some stuff he did. But again who knows if it is true. I don’t want people thinking I am touting this as truth or that I believe it totally or expect anyone else too. Just the messenger and I don’t want to be shot.

Guys I’m having so many probs trying to get onto this site and now can’t get to read all the posts…

I wanted to mention a new poll on Microsoft Live Messenger for the “Sexiest Man in the World” in the “Film Star” Section. Due to my pc/internet probs I haven’t been able to find anything but thought you cyber savvy guys would have better luck. Apparently OB is in the top place at the moment and I think we should all go there and vote for him. It will give him a morale boost - which I think is much needed at this time if he comes 1st!

I would be grateful if someone could post the link to the page so I can try to vote too

Let’s spread the word wherever we can as none of his fan websites even mention it… Looks like they’ve all given up on him.

Thanks x

Maybe not “laughed out”, but I do remember him saying that while he’s in the play, he won’t read what the critics say about his performance because he doesn’t want to worry about that while he’s on stage. But, he said, he was gonna read those afterwards. Now as I recall, he got quite mixed reviews, and I can imagine him wanting to think about all those things by himself. I don’t think he was hurt or offended, but it probably gave him a lot to think about (if he really did read all that stuff). Sometimes the best you can do is take a few steps back, keep a distance from what you have been doing so far, and look at your life from that distance. Maybe he just needed to be in a different type of environment. We don’t know.

Jaded you are right but you know. My friend who is an actress is really good and she got a really terrible review saying she’s hopeless yadayadayada but she got used to that while being in drama school. And one should not resign from playing in theatre because of bad reviews. I think he should do another play because the more you practice the better you are. Acting in theatre is a very special kind of acting which needs experience and I think he isn’t condemned never to play in theatre.

Ellen, I don’t think he “resigned from playing in theatre”, but I would hazard the guess that he would try to improve his acting if his critics pointed out what exactly they didn’t like in his performance.

I have also guessed before that since he was criticised for his American accent, he might wanna be in the USA to work on that.

The brits @ 05/26/2008 at 8:42 am

While I don’t believe he’d let some bad reviews or poor opinions (or behavior that people didn’t like at private parties?? What is that? That’s silly, as if your behavior in private could force you to leave a country? Unless he was commiting felonies and in danger of jail time then that’s lame) would make OB flee England I do remember recently reading Hugh Laurie (HOUSE) commenting on how the British press (and possibly fans?) treat him. What he said was that he’s more or less thought of as a sell out and that he would not get parts in British works because of this. It’s laughable when you look at HL’s whole career which was vastly spent in the UK, and now he’s done one very top notch US television series and he’s looked upon as a sell out? That’s harsh and if that’s the mentality it could explain why OB doesn’t stay there or do more work there, either he can’t get any or the critcism hurts. That said I don’t think bad reviews or people saying bad things would keep him out of the UK. If he listened to his critics he’d be living under a rock now in Antarctica never to be seen again.

Also @ Jaded, he got mixed reviews but he did get some quite good ones from some top notch reviews, The Guardian and another one that’s name fails me. He probably got the best reviews of his career. Even Sir Ian Mckellen got mixed reviews for King Lear in London.

he is also in L.A. not in England right?

please don't buy this @ 05/26/2008 at 9:27 am

#357 I’m with you. It would take a lot more then some bad reviews to make him not return.
I think this poster is either making it up or his ‘friend’ is.
I wonder why this was never brought up before?

I can’t see what Orlando could have done at private parties that could be any worse than Pete D.Amy Wino and Kate M. do almost daily.London has it’s fair share other there and Orlando is very mello in comparrison.

@Sallyfromhannah @ 05/26/2008 at 10:32 am

Where exactly is the site so that i can vote?

why don’t you create a anti miranda kerr site so you guys can hate her in peace until then im free to come here and say that i like her an orlando of course you are pathetic to hate on someone you don’t even know some here were so happy that some 19 years old was hired by vs like that has something to do with miranda pathetic and stupid as miranda does a lot of things for vs and has her place in the company so does every other of their models so she will stil have her millions while you will through up hate on her giving her what she wants attention i have to laugh at you guys being the only ones giving her attention and then bashing her wanting attention you must be crazy

f4ck.
The blue-nazzi-smurf followed us. screw this.
