Orlando Bloom Wigs Out
Orlando Bloom shows off his shaggy new do in a grungy wig on the set of his new movie, Sympathy for Delicious, in Los Angeles on Wednesday (January 28).
The 32-year-old British actor also sported tattoos, black fingernail polish and suspenders.
The plot follows the life of a paralyzed DJ (Christopher Thorton) who realizes he cures the sick, but can’t help himself from pursuing his rock ‘n’ roll dreams. Bloom is taking over for James Franco, who was originally cast as the lead. Laura Linney will play the band’s manager. Christopher Thornton, who wrote the film, will star as the DJ and Mark Ruffalo will portray a priest.

Maybe you should go over to Delphi and pose those questions. I didn’t know Miranda did charity work, to be honest. DJ’s had something going last year but I didn’t know that Miranda was personally involved. What did she do?
Her rep for being kind and gracious changes depending on which dresser and make-up artist you speak too. Both sides of that issue have been addressed in earlier threads here on JJ by insiders vehement their point of view was right. Anything new to add? Any speicifics that Delphi could gnaw on? Go on over, you know you want to.
She has been involved in children’s charities for several years. Long before she met Mr. Bloom. And I think that I will believe posters who have to log in with their screen name over anons posting on this site. Several people posted on ONTD about how sweet she was. Also, photographers, on their own blogs (not mystery posters on JJ) say over and over again about what a joy she is to work with.
And about the invite to Delphi, no thank you. I don’t really enjoy being told that I am blind, or an ostrich, or to simply STF*. Thanks, but no thanks.
It is interesting that all of us who had the names we always post under displayed here for a very strange public came here and used the names we always post under to reply. The people who threw our names out there was anon., most of the people who like to call us haters are anon. Seems strange that the ones everyone calls horrible are the only ones that will own up to their words by using the same screen names.
Makes one think!
Oh, you know that plenty of Delphi people come here and say nasty things anonymously. So you can’t use that line of “reasoning”. One of the ones involved in ‘the arguement’ on this thread claimed to be a member of both Ka-Bloom and delphi, yet they were using a different screen name here. Which means that they were basically posting as just another anon. That, combined with your statement, does make one think, now doesn’t it.
@28 - I have no problem posting here with my screen name. I think its funny that someone actually listed the names of the delphi posters he/she doesn’t agree with - way to make yourself look even more ridiculous. Wouldn’t it just be easier not to read a board that you hate?
That’s not why that poster listed those names.
Someone made a comment on the continued negativity of that board, and somone else asked for examples, because they claimed to not know anyone who does that.
That is why those names were mentioned, not because they disagree with them.
@131 - I get that, I just think its stupid that some posters here seem to take offence just because we’re giving an opinion. Yes, I may say some negative things concerning Orlando but I’m still a fan; I just don’t blindly worship him like some do (and that doesn’t make them better fans). Referring to that poster back on the second page who thinks Orlando can ‘do no right’ with us - I think he looks okay, but the look he’s sporting for this movie isn’t my cup of tea. I’ve never been particularly fond of his acting, but I like watching him nonetheless - that isn’t being vicious/nasty, that’s just being honest and I’ve always said things like this in the Orlando fandom, but only now I’m being called out as a ‘nasty vicious delphi loon hater’. Funny that.
Say what you like about delphi, at least we can speak our minds there and not get attacked for it by the other posters.
exactly! i’m with you 100% - the last time i got really excited about OB’s acting was in LOTR - i still like him and follow his career and go see his movies, but i’m also still waiting for him to pull another performance like Legolas out of the hat - in my opinion he hasn’t done it since……
I have low respect for anyone that pulls their private life into the public arena as a means of getting or keeping their name out there, and for me thats exactly what OB has done more and more as his career has looked less rosy. And i’m not just talking about the latest bout here…
@128/Delphiers
The comments on your board are what they are: written by Delphi members and read by the public. Anon or not, people will “peg” you by your comments. Say what you want about anons and their opinions of Delphi, gloss over what is said there, but you can’t deny your own words posted by you on your own board.
Owning your words is not only attaching your name to them.
@132/Delphiers
Isn’t it equally stupid to take offense at opinions of opinions? All those posts that you’re taking exception to? They’re just opinions.
Why are you pretending you’re being called out for your opinion on his acting? Or, according to several disingenuous Delphiers, on his shirt and on bitterness for not being able to read your private section? You know what you have said about Bloom, his family, B/K, and their supporters. That’s what the “hater/loon” label is about.
“Say what you like about delphi, at least we can speak our minds there and not get attacked for it by the other posters.”
How is that different from OL or KB? Fans who prefer those boards do so for the same reason as yours. Delphi is neither special nor better. It’s just another board where a particular p.o.v. is followed.
You might consider taking your own advice. Don’t read the comments about Delphi. Don’t read the tab, pap and supportive comments about B/K.
@134 -
“How is that different from OL or KB?” - It’s different because if you don’t have anything positive to say on those boards then you get told off for it. It’s very rare that a slightly critical comment makes it past the mods on either of those boards. On Delphi you can say both the positive and the negative without being torn a new one - THAT is the difference. I never said delphi is anything special, just that you’re actually allowed to say what you want to say instead of being
“You might consider taking your own advice. Don’t read the comments about Delphi. Don’t read the tab, pap and supportive comments about B/K.” - I don’t hate any of the boards with the positive stuff, so why should I stop reading them? You can’t go anywhere in the Orlando fandom without having his girlfriend shoved down your throat, even if its just a sighting. If you have Orlando on google alert, any article about her always includes his name and so they always turn up in the alerts as well. For once, Orlando is actually on this site on his own and doing his own thing, so let’s keep the comments to him, yeah?
“You know what you have said about Bloom, his family, B/K, and their supporters. That’s what the “hater/loon” label is about.” - And I don’t see why having a different opinion makes one a ‘hater’. I’m not a hater, far from it - I like the guy, so yes, I do take a little offence at being labelled something I’m not.
“Slightly critical”? Calling him, his girlfriend and his family names that I wouldn’t call my worst enemy is “slightly critical”? OK
You may express your views in a more reasonable way (most of the times), but many of the posters on your site are absolutely hateful. You can’t deny what goes on at your site. The offensive names, the CONSTANT complaining, the irrational judgements on his mental status, the statements that he is on drugs. Even people finding fault with his charity work. And you can’t deny that there are some absolutely insane conspiracy theories that are treated as Gospel over there. It’s fine, if that’s what you want, but to ignore the reaction that the site gets on the web is just you hiding your head in the sand.
And I still don’t understand how people who visit Orlando centric sites on the web can be upst over Miranda “being shoved down” your throat. They are dating. Of course they will have pictures taken, of course they will have their names linked. It’s no different than any other celebrity couple. They get papped far less than most other couples. Be thankful that he didn’t hook up with Jennifer Aniston or Saint Angie. You would never get another pic of him alone if that was the case. Is he supposed to remain celibate to please you?
If it’s discussion you want, why not try IMDB. You can get both sides of the arguement over there, and since your site opened, they don’t have the reputation of being the most insane site on the web anymore. But that would mean that you would actually have a real discussion. You will have to back up your reasoning, and not just have ten posters blindly agree with you (as long as it was negative).
So get your head out of the sand, and recognize your site for what it truly is. A site formed for the purpose of slinging hate, without having to answer for it. Again, if that’s what you want, fine. But don’t pretend that it is anything that it is not.
As long as we have freedom of speech and press on the Web (with some restrictions when it comes to national security and libel or slander law suits), people can and will create all kinds of web sites. Some of those web sites will be devoted to actors, and within that group of web sites will be all kinds of views. Different people gravitate towards different web sites based on their own personal preferences. The issue of OB sites is really about personal preferences.
Orlando Bloom is, after all, a public figure, and he, his family, PR team and girlfriends have all put information out there, in some form or another, for public viewing, thought, discussion and consumption. People can think whatever wish to think and believe whatever they wish to believe. Neither ’side’ is better than the other, and no one web site is better than any other except in our own personal opinions and based on our own personal preferences.
I personally find it refreshing when people dare to question things. I prefer reading comments that go beyond how “hot, hot, hot” an actor is. I also agree that if one wishes to follow an actors career, one does not necessarily wish to follow his wife’s career, or his girlfriend’s career, or his kid’s careers, or his brother’s career, etc. The emphasis should be on the actor or actress himself or herself, and NOT on relatives or significant others. I’ve noticed in other fan groups that fans can and do get a bit ticked off if they believe that an actor or actress is being used or exploited by his or her significant other. They also don’t like it when they feel that the significant other is getting as much press as their ‘fave’, when that press seems to be the result of the relationship. This situation isn’t unique to Orlando.
I can also remember times when OB and KB were dating, and the sentiments and feelings expressed on some boards were actually quite to similar to OB and MK. Do I think there’s some jealousy out there? Sure, that’s a possibility and I won’t discount it. I also think that many OB fans would like to see less of the ‘current squeeze’ and just more of him. I personally think many of his fans would be quite happy if he found someone he seemed genuinely enthusiastic about and showed some feelings for - minus the Wire Image and pap photo ops and set ups. It’s a pity that some of the same things that happened with Kate have happened with Miranda. I don’t think it’s the result of Orlando’s fans not wanting him to find a good woman, but rather the result of him not having found one. And both KB and MK talked to the press about OB. Again, OB has said little or nothing. I find it very odd, but it’s also his life and his choice.
Every web site has its own flavor and its own rules. For less stress, I would suggest finding the site or sites you like, and stick to those. Ignore the rest. As long as ‘the rest’ are abiding by their own rules and the TOS of their service providers, then all is good. And as for Orlando and other actors and celebrities, they are partly responsible for what they and their PR teams and associates have put out there. I’m sure they can handle it.
@Icarus
Neither you nor anyone at your board owes any member of the public an apology for expressing your views, beliefs or opinions regarding Orlando and Miranda. If people want to go to your site to vent, that’s their choice, just as people can go to other OB sites to “drool.” Again, that’s a personal choice that should be respected, in my opinion. If such a site had been around during the OB/KB days, I’m sure you would have had plenty of members then who would have complained about Kate being “shoved down your throat, even if its just a sighting. If you have Orlando on google alert, any article about her always includes his name and so they always turn up in the alerts as well.”
To @@@
“Delphi is neither special nor better. It’s just another board where a particular p.o.v. is followed.” Precisely. And if people get upset over some opinions expressed at another board, that’s THEIR problem. No one is deliberately trying to upset other posters from other boards. People are just expressing their views and opinions. If poster X gets upset over poster Y’s point of view or opinion, that’s not poster Y’s problem - as long as we’re expressing opinions. If certain discussions take place at Delphi, but those discussions fall within the TOS of Delphi Forums, then Delphi members would be within their posting rights. That some members of Bloom’s fandom are uncomfortable with the nature of those discussions actually isn’t Delphi’s problem. If Mr. Bloom or his people had a problem with it, I’m sure they’d take the necessary steps.
So, it’s fans who have issues with other fans. The actor himself seems to be fine doing what he’s doing. And for now, he seems to be fine with Miranda, just as he seemed to be fine with Kate. And yes, if you want news on Bloom, you’ll have to get news on the GF. Just as it was with Kate.
Your attempt at being objective only made you look even more biased than what you already are.
“I also agree that if one wishes to follow an actors career, one does not necessarily wish to follow his wife’s career, or his girlfriend’s career, or his kid’s careers, or his brother’s career, etc”
This can be applied to both sides. Part of one side love the gf because she’s the gf, and part of the other obsessively bash her and seem more interested in bashing her than in liking him. When a particular side complains about her being shoved down their throats I get a chuckle. They’d be bored to tears without her! LOL
You didn’t get it, deja vu (good nick, it suits you really well). For what I’ve seen most people here weren’t trying to censor Delphi or tell them they can’t say what they want or demanding an apology, they were actually expressing their opinion about their board. For what I’ve read here, it seems that the Delphi girls also express their opinion about other boards, so what’s really the problem here?
“without her?”
Is somebody upset because they recently got dumped…..
boo hoooooo……
The way you just carried on, sounds more like a close personal friend of said girl friend, or the ex-girl friend herself, rather than an objective, rational individual.
And here’s another perfect example of the idiocy that is delphi.
Not a member or Delphi …. don’t care to be either.
I’m not a member of Delphi either cause I’m not his fan,and I have my own reasons for disliking Kerr thta have nothing to do with Bloom. There are a lot of us here who have had our own experiences with her and our comments are based on that. It seems a small and nasty group is very threatened by this other site(’day “Oz”) and is obssessed with demolishing them. It is not a mere difference of opinion with them. They choose to call out and bully on JJs. Wonder why that is?
Bahahhahahhahahahh!!!
Oh, poor innocent delphi. Why can’t people leave you alone? I mean, all you want to do is sling mud, make up stories and call people hateful names. Poor saaad delphi.

I know I’m being obnoxious (again) by posting the same thought on more than one thread, but this online article about Eric Bana really is worth reading. I’m surprised that Orlando Bloom has not been able to emulate the likes of Bana, Mortensen and Depp in some areas of his life, especially in light of his past admirable mentions of them in his interviews. He’s had the best examples in the business to learn from, in so many ways. He should take notes from his “good buddy” Eric and do the same things – if he really values his privacy and wants substance in his life. IMO, of course. That’s just how I see things, personally. Bana has a great and level head on his shoulders. He was already married by the time he was 30 and had his priorities set straight. I love how he references his wife in the interview; he’s very happily married. I copied and pasted some key segments which seem timely right now regarding Bloom.
http://www.theage.com.au/news/executive-style/culture/its-out-of-sight-for-eric-bana/2009/02/02/1233423099013.html
People don’t hassle him, he says; he’s part of the furniture. “At a shopping mall people might want to take photos,” says his wife, Rebecca Bana, “but it’s so rare. On a day-to-day basis, he just blends in.” He flies under the radar in the media too, rarely appearing in the social pages and avoiding interviews. “It’s about staying away from celebrity,” he says. “If you allow that world to consume you, it will kill you.”
Bana sometimes wonders how much further he could take his career if he lived in Los Angeles; if he didn’t have kids he’d probably be based there. That said, relatively few films are actually made in California - he’s made as many in Malta as he has in LA. “No matter how you do it, it is a pain in the ****, so just do the one that is the most practical. For us, it works and there is no reason to reinvent the wheel. I’d rather the hassle of the extra travel and be at home when I’m not working,” he says. “But the real reason I live here is because I was born here. This is where all my family and friends are. It’s my hometown. I think it’s as great, if not better than, any other city in the world.”
It delights him that when he runs into old school friends they’re not interested in what it’s like to make movies with Brad Pitt and “good buddy” Orlando Bloom. “It’s like, ‘You don’t still have that big white Falcon that you used to drive to school, do you?’”
Despite living in such different worlds - Bana defines them as the working actors’ world, the “normal” world, and the celebrity world - he insists he doesn’t feel torn between them. “Two of those are very real; the third one doesn’t consist of much and I have nothing to do with it. There is a whole celebrity industry that is complete bullshit and it’s not something I ever have to deal with.” He walks the red carpet just a couple of nights each year. “Unless you’re Paris Hilton, you’re a deer in the headlights. It is the weirdest part of the job but it’s necessary and I’ve got to the stage where I try to enjoy it as much as I can.”
@143 Delphi isn’t innocent and they openly admit it. They post with the same names there as they do here, unlike the people here who continually badger them for their different views and words.
Just like you, they can say what they want, like it or not.
