Orlando Bloom is Deus Ex Machina
Orlando Bloom rides off on his “Beverly Hills Ducati” motorcycle as he leaves a church on Saturday (December 27) in Los Angeles.
The 31-year-old British actor wore a jacket from Deux Ex Machina, which literally means “god from the machine.” Back in May, Orly shopped at Sydney’s bike store Deus Ex Machina in Australia.
Afterwards, Orly reportedly went out with Aussie model girlfriend Miranda Kerr and got into a fender bender.
10+ pictures inside of motorcycle man Orlando Bloom…

IF the denverpost sighting is accurate, they can go to Aspen, a paparazzi mecca where celebritites were photographed all through the holidays, and not get any pics taken? They can go unseen in a town of 10,000 and are continuously found in a city of 10,000,000? That shows that they can avoid the paps when they WANT to avoid them and more obvious that when they get “caught” it’s a set up.
You must have an amazing view of the Sphinx.
“There were reports of them renting a house in Aspen even before the first of the year.”
Funny, that’s when they were buying the snowboard equipment as well. Before the first of the year.
Like you say, “IF”.
What makes you think “little miss randa” is going to accept an “IF” for her relationship with Orlando.
She’s the one, to me it seems, feels that, IF there are no pics of them out and about, then the relationship to her is not real. She’s the one who needs the cameras on them.
Sadly though it is not the end of the month yet. But never fear, she may have the pics from Denver already bought and paid for, and ready for release any time she chooses.
IF they are the big famewhores you say they are, and ALL their pics to date have been set ups, including really boring pictures, why would they miss such a perfect chance to be photographed snowboarding, all happy, spending their holidays together, in particularly juicy pics in a paradise of paps?
Didn’t they ONLY get together to be papped, according to your “no pics=not together” logic?
I see no reason to doubt the source, the author of the article is a columnist that writes about events of Denver and Colorado and sometimes appears on TV, he is no gossip columnist, according to denverpost.com.
He’s a columnist that reports on celebrities, his columns are talking about Lance Armstrong, Mariah and Nick, and other celebrity sightings sent into him, sounds just like a gossip columnist.
There is not use trying to reason with people like @279……..If Orlando Bloom personally told them face to face that he was in real relationship with Miranda Kerr they still wouldn’t believe him………because in their minds they think if they keep denying the relationship then it doesn’t exist and that one day Orlando will be theirs…….sad but true…lol!!!!
As soon as he does say to their face that he is in a real relationship with Miranda or anyone else, yes I would believe him.
But not from his fans or those who takes pictures of him with her or anyone else.
His relationship with her may in fact bloom into something more. There was the kiss in Venice. However one or even a hundred kisses, no matter how passionate, will not guarantee that the relationship will last, now will it?
The only people who have any say in that is them.
Wouldn’t you agree?
But please, let me know when he does say anything, would you?
From 279, remember the number.
But the question remains as to why certain ‘fans’ can’t accept the possibility that he is dating her. Why should he have to confirm that there is a real relationship? Isn’t dating considered a relationship?They are seen together as often as he was seen with Kate, why is it so hard to believe that he and Miranda are a couple? Is he so ugly, horrible and unloveable that no one would date him? That he has to pay someone to be with him? No?
“Isn’t dating considered a relationship?”
Sometimes, but not always. There are some people that do just like to hang out a lot as friends, and even though there might be moments that they may feel something more for each other, it may not last past that moment.
They may be waiting to see how long it does. And where it goes.
But that is really for them to decide. We as outsiders do not really know what is going on with them. The only thing we have to go on is how we would feel if we were with someone. If you can forget about either one of them being celebrities and just regular people, which they are, no one who does not know them personally, probably would not see Orlando or Miranda as any thing else but celebrities, so they would say, “well if it were me, I would never stop loving him or her.”
When in actuality, they have no idea who Orlando and Miranda really are as just regular people. Take away the media, that’s all they are.
Arnold Swarzenegger dated his wife for 8 or 9 years before they got married, and they are still going strong, as far as I know to this day.
But either waiting or jumping in does not guarantee the relationship will last either way.
Your missing the point, it’s not about whether they will last or not as a
couple as you can never be certain about anybody…….but rather it is
about acknowledging the fact that they are in a relationship right now and
have been for over a year……..again why can’t certain “fans” simply accept this instead of calling it a “showmance” or “set up”……as it then basically calls him shallow and a fake!!!!
“why can’t certain “fans” simply accept this”
Because like I said before….when I replied to 284
“Isn’t dating considered a relationship?”
Sometimes, but not always. There are some people that do just like to hang out a lot as friends, and even though there might be moments that they may feel something more for each other, it may not last past that moment.
Why can’t certain “fans” accept that they could just be friends as well.
I was not one of the posters who called him shallow or fake. Or consider any of the shots to be considered a showmance or set up…unless he has told her that he only wanted to be friends and she is trying to make it out to be something more….everyone deals with pain in their own way…I could be wrong of course….then again….I could be close.
But I do know how I would feel if someone treated me the way he seems to be treating her. I would feel that he, and not because he was Orlando, I’m referring to any guy. I would feel that he could be falling in love with me. Been there before, and it hurts. Because when you reciprocate what you think is real, they don’t call you for months at a time.
All I’m saying is, it can go both ways. I know from personal experience just how painful it can be.
But also like I pointed out in my post above….
“We as outsiders do not really know what is going on with them.”
You want to believe that it is a real romantic relationship, that’s fine.
Your opinion, which you are entitled to have, does not make it so, and it the same goes for anyone with a different opinion.
But trust me, when I say, things are not always what they seem.
For me, no I will not be “happy” for them, until there is something to be happy about. (personal experience has taught me otherwise)
But that’s just my opinion.
Thank you for letting me share it.
@281 he is obviously not a gossip columnist, just reading one article you can see that he writes about local stuff and he sometimes uses three lines at the end of the article to mention celebrity sightings.
But that doesn’t really matter, the point is that a columnist that writes about Colorado news mentions a sighting few days after the pics of Orlando buying a snowboard. The coincidence is too big to be actually a coincidence.
@287 you’ve said that you think M and O are in a “just friends” relationship and that he would have to aknowledge her publicly to make this a real relationship MANY times through all the thread. I think that
both opinions are ridiculous, and many people have replied to these same opinions MANY times on this thread, but if this is your opinion, that’s fine. Just please don’t repeat the same things all the time after people have already rebutted them, for the sake of not turning this thread to an annoying deja vu. Thanks in advance.
I only repeat when people don’t understand my point.
But since I am obviously not “intellegent” enough to post on this board.
Cest la vie!
Don’t ask for me to repeat if you don’t understand.
I will not post again. If anyone claims to me. Then they are either just as dumb as I am. Or not very nice.
Your call….Good Bye - Good Riddens!
In my opinion they behave like two people who have affection for each other and obviously enjoy spending time together. Whether it will deepen into a lasting relationship involving an actual marriage commitment or something more like ‘Brangelina’ or what Depp and his ‘life partner’ Vanessa share, who can say? I doubt it’s ‘just for show’ although I do think she probably benefits from the subsequent media exposure more than he does. (I’ve noticed her name and picture pop up more frequently in various ‘celebrity rags’ than would have been the case if her name wasn’t linked with a ‘Hollywood celebrity.’) Still, I honestly don’t see these two being ‘papped’ any more frequently than other celebrity couples - and far less than some.
For “two people who have affection for each other and obviously enjoy spending time together,” I think Orlando could have had his rep use the pronoun “We” in the denial of an engagement instead of “He”. That simple change of wording would have acknowledged that they *are* a couple and *are* together, and it would have been Bloom’s official acknowledgment of her. I think publicists choose their words very carefully. And I agree with Marc and Kriz that the denial was official and was given to JJ first.
Many people think Orlando and Miranda been seeing each other, in whatever capacity, since April 2007, so they’ve had plenty of time to develop their relationship, whatever the nature of it is. With texting, calling and e-mail, you can stay in touch, even in long distance relationships.
I disagree with the poster who says they think he’s falling in love with her because his actions and behavior don’t strike me as those of a man falling for a woman. He stood her up in Jan ‘08 and wasn’t seen with her for what, 7 wks or so? They have something going on, but I just don’t see love or commitment. That’s all. There’s a book called “He’s Just Not Into You” and I think a lot of women - even famous ones - should take a look at it. When a man’s interested, he shows it.
And I think OB gets publicity out of this because if you remove him from the Miranda stuff in the press, you’ll see he would have gotten a lot less press coverage without her.
Just my opinion.
Forgot to add that sightings and pictures of celebrities at stores is not proof that they purchased anything. It just means those celebs were there at the time the pictures were taken. Orlando and Kate were often seen and papped at furniture stores for years, but if they really bought all the furniture that was implied through the pap pics, they’d have had enough to fill a mansion or an estate! And some people think they never really lived together anyway. So go figure.
@291 I don’t know why you think a “we” instead of a “he” means something. As far as I know, you can’t be engaged to yourself, you have to be engaged to someone and the denial was obviously in response to an engagement rumour TO HER, so I see no difference between a “we” or a “he” here.
What about not being seen for 7 weeks? If they had been seen together in less time, you would have screamed “set up like clockwork!” and I don’t know why you guys think that if they aren’t seen together that means they aren’t together. If you don’t see pics, that means that you don’t know where he is or who he is with, and you should admit it, otherwise you don’t sound like a very reasonable or objective person.
You don’t think they are in love, that’s ok. But that’s what you see on some pics, nothing else. I’ve seen lots of pics of couples that look like Barbie and Ken, and then you find out, for example, that he’s an alcoholic that beats her or something similar. My point is that pictures don’t say that much. I see that he flies with her to the places where she works so I don’t see how he “ignores” her. I’m not saying they are in love, I don’t have a clue, but I don’t see what you see.
I also don’t think Orlando is getting any publicity from her that he can’t get by himself. If you remove Miranda from the equation, you would have Kirsten Dunst, or Penelope Cruz, or Jen Aniston, or Eva Longoria, or Courteney Cox, or even Eric Bana, etc. He’s been often in the news while he’s been single.
With all my respect, saying that he didn’t buy the snowboard so the Aspen sighting is fake sounds slightly desperate. I believe someone mentioned that they saw staff from the store loading the shopping in his car, and I don’t know why would a columnist that mentioned the sighting in three lines of his much longer article make it up.
@293
I agree, I’m sure he’d have no problem (and he hasn’t in the past) generating media interest while ’solo’ or in the company of others (male or female) - besides Miranda. But since the general celebrity-loving public is hooked on ‘gossip’ and seeing pics of their favorite celebrities in ‘romantic’ (implied) relationships, these are the kind that generate the most interest.
Very true, but while single he was “romantically” linked to, at least, Kirsten Dunst, Naomie Harris, Penelope Cruz and Jen Aniston, and I’m sure I’m forgetting the majority of them. Being linked to those women, especially Aniston, gives much more publicity than being with a relatively unknown model, I think.
And even if being with Miranda gave him a little bit more publicity, something I disagree with for the reasons said above, is it worth it? Is it a whole year of “showmance” worth it? Yeah?
@295
But see, I really don’t think it’s a ’showmance’ in the sense that it seems to me there is some reality to the ‘relationship.’ How deep their feelings are for each other, I have no idea. Could just be friendship and some shared interests (more likely ‘friends with benefits’) or it could be even more exclusive. As you say, he’s been linked to an odd assortment of females (and some were certainly a stretch), but he seems to have pretty much ’settled’ on Mitanda even though unsubstantiated rumors still surface about ‘one-night stands’ with ‘anonymous’ others. Who really knows except the two people involved?
Which one of you was it that said that Orlando Bloom was not a cautionary tale for other young actors? I guess you’re gonna blame this one on the haters, too. Face it, he’s not the creme of the crop anymore.

Oh, come on!…….using “laineygossip” to back up yet another petty attack on Orlando is really stretching believability…….it’s a personal blog,
not Vanity Fair……lol!!!!
Same type of gossip used to make people believe he is in a loving and romantic relationship with what’s her face!
Vanity Fair is not any more Trusworthy than the Dail Mail!
Etc…Etc….Etc…
Wasn’t Lainey the one that tried to claim that she turned away orlando’s advances after some award show? She reported that he had three girls in an SUV, and walked by her and smiled. She tried to make it sound like she had rebuffed him, and that he kept walking. In reality, he smiles at everyone, and was rushing to get back to the young women in the car. He didn’t need her old, hateful bag of bones, he had three hotties waiting for him. Everyone laughed at her. She is pathetic.
And before ‘teh haterz’ start, this was long before Miranda.
FWIW, the other posters were right. Any young actor would give their eye teeth to be in Orlando’s place right now. Respect from some of the biggest names in the business, in front of, and behind the cameras. Sitting on a ton of money and able to work on things that you love, and not take jobs just to pay the bills. Orlando has it made.
