Orlando Bloom

On Friday, Johnny Depp, decked out as Jack Sparrow announced that Disney will be releasing another Pirates of the Caribbean movie.

Planning for the fourth installment of the Pirates of The Caribbean has already begun, but it's being done without one of its biggest stars.

Orlando Bloom is reportedly bowing out of the latest installment of the Pirates franchise. He played blacksmith Will Turner in the previous three wildly popular films.

“Orlando loved the films but thinks it’s time to bow out because they tied up nicely for his character Will Turner,” a source has said.

Who’s coming out on top?

We’ve never been a big Orlando Bloom fan and, with his newly acquired facial hair, he kind of reminds us of our dad, Marty, circa 1979.

If you’re not a father, a police officer or a member of The Village People, mustaches can be tricky to pull off, and we don’t think Orlando really does it.

Bloom and his lip caterpillar were snapped on the set of his new movie Main Street, which co-stars Amber Tamblyn, Colin Firth, and Patricia Clarkson.

Orlando Bloom was spotted on the LA set of Sympathy for Delicious yesterday.

Topless, tatted up (the sun just below his belly button is the only real one) and still saddled with that ratty-ass Ron Wood wig, Bloom chatted on the phone and strolled around in front of his trailer.

We’re betting dude knew there were paps around and he wanted to give them a little show while telling his girl Miranda Kerr, “No, I love you more.”

Orlando Bloom was spotted filming his new film Sympathy for Delicious in Downtown Los Angeles yesterday.

Who else thinks that wig makes him look like Ron Wood from The Rolling Stones?

Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom are rumored to be engaged. The wedding is reportedly planned for the middle of next year, when “both have a break from work commitments.”

Are we the only ones that still don’t get the demand for Orlando? He’s cute enough but he can barely act and we’ve had Slurpees with more charisma. We’d take the perfect blend of Cherry and Coke over him, hand’s down.

In these troubled financial times, you need all the safe bets you can muster.

Given the success of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, Disney chairman Dick Cook held a press conference at Los Angeles' Kodak Theatre on Wednesday to announce the studio’s plans for three upcoming films, all centered around Johnny Depp, the Mouse’s new cash cow.

Thank God they didn’t think those movies succeeded because of Orlando Bloom or Keira Knightley. (Is it just us or is she getting screechier?)

After stomach churning rumors that Miranda Kerr had dumped Orlando Bloom for nasty ass oil heir Brandon Davis, the couple was spotted in Soho enjoyin a sushi lunch with freakshow David Blaine before scooting off on Orlando’s motorcycle.

Game on!

Would you drop Orlando Bloom for oil heir Brandon Davis? Is that even a question? NO! Davis is groody!

Reportedly Bloom and Victoria Secret model Miranda Kerr have broken up and she’s seeking comfort in the arms of her ex, Davis. 

Brandon, who formerly dated Mischa Barton and Paris Hilton (can you say "diseased?") was seen squiring Kerr around New York, where they were spotted making out at two clubs, first at 1Oak and later that night at the Beatrice Inn.

Jake Gyllenhaal and new Bond girl Gemma Arterton (Quantum of Solace) will star in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, an adaptation of the mega-popular video game by Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer Films.
