Vote for Orlando in Hello Magazine’s Most Attractive Man monthly poll. If he wins this round, we won’t have to vote again until the finale at the end of the year!

Here’s another article form kentonline.co.uk with photos of Orlando’s mom and the items she is auctioning off for charity.

Mrs Copeland-Bloom said: “I have spoken to Orlando who is quite happy for me to get as much as I can for charity. There are some real collectors’ items among them and they will all be authenticated by me by letter. We are inviting people to send us bids of which the top ones will be invited to view the items before submitting a further sealed bid.”

Here are photos of Orlando at Audi’s celebration of the arrival of TDI clean diesel technology in Beverly Hills on Tuesday, June 23.

A young WA holidaymaker was tickled pink after getting a photo for the family album featuring Hollywood heart-throb Orlando Bloom, who was on a short break in Broome with his model partner Miranda Kerr.

From thewest.com.au: Vivienne Ryan told The West Australian that Bloom wandered virtually unnoticed past Broome’s beachside cafes last week while Kerr was on assignment. He was happy to stop and pose for a photograph with her four-year-old niece.

“He was just so lovely and sweet and gladly took Lily in his arms for a picture,” Ms Ryan said. “He made Lily feel very comfortable and seemed to be a complete natural with children.  He said it was his first time in Broome, they were having a lovely time and told us to have a good holiday.”

An actress who had a minor role in Sympathy for Delicious, has posted a review of an early cut of the film on her blog. She states: “Orlando Bloom was really good, and completely different from what people have seen him do so far.”

From abc.net.au: French actor Vincent Cassel, who featured in Ocean’s 12, is to head to Australia soon to film a sci-fi movie starring Orlando Bloom and Bond girl Olga Kurylenko.

The multi-national cast, which also includes US actor John Goodman, will appear in The Cross by New Zealand-born director Andrew Niccol, whose credits include Gattaca and Lord Of War. The title of the new film “is a sort of metaphor on borders in general,” Cassel told AFP.

Cassel explained that Bloom is to star as a man determined to cross the frontier, while he will play the antagonist just as committed to stopping him. Kurylenko - the Ukrainian-born actress who starred in the latest James Bond flick, Quantum Of Solace - incarnates their mutual love interest. Cassel says filming will begin in the next few months.

From bbc.co.uk: The mother of actor Orlando Bloom plans to clear out some of his possessions so she can raise money for charity. Sonia Copeland-Bloom said she decided to sell items because they were taking up too much room in her Kent home. She wants to raise funds for the £25.6m redevelopment of the Marlowe Theatre and a number of other charities.

Ms Copeland-Bloom said: “We’ve got a wetsuit that he wore when he was filming with the hobbits. This was off-screen, I must say. He was very keen on surfing in New Zealand. You can see that they’ve still got the sea and the sand on those.”

She added: “I visited the set in Wellington, New Zealand, several times. It was wonderful always when I went on there. I was given this [signed Lord of the Rings] poster and however much I treasure it I think if it could make some money for some of the charities I support it would be a good thing.”

From guardian.co.uk: Orlando Bloom’s mother is selling some of the costumes he wore while filming the Lord of the Rings trilogy in an attempt to clear out his room before she moves house. Sonia Copeland Bloom said he didn’t mind – as long as the proceeds went to charity.

Copeland Bloom, who lives in Canterbury, Kent, said: “I have spoken to Orlando, who is quite happy for me to get as much as I can for charity. There are some real collector’s items among them and they will all be authenticated by me by letter.”

Among the items up for grabs are a bodyline wetsuit used by Bloom, 32, when he filmed a scene with Elijah Wood in The Return of the King and a poster signed by the entire cast. A pair of Moroccan slippers and boots he wore in The Kingdom of Heaven could also entice film buffs.

But fans of Bloom – who now lives in west London – can also get their hands on more personal items such as the badminton and tennis racquets he used as a boy. Gucci shoes, Puma trainers, polo shirts and a hooded waterproof Gap jacket belonging to the star will also be auctioned. Sonia Copeland Bloom said: “We are inviting people to send us bids, of which the top ones will be invited to see the items before submitting a further sealed bid.”

She said any cash raised will be divided between four charities, Unesco, the New Marlow Theatre, cancer charity Odyssey and the UKC Music Scholarships.

From monstersandcritics.com: Orlando Bloom has sold a date with himself for £9,000. The ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ star auctioned off a dinner date at a star-studded charity bash for London’s Great Ormond Street Hospital on Wednesday (17.06.09).

From sify.com: Hollywood actor Orlando Bloom escaped unscathed when he had a car crash in Los Angeles on Tuesday. The crash took place just streets away from the place where the The Pirates of the Caribbean star had met with an accident in 2007. According to TMZ.com, Bloom’s car collided with another vehicle, but he did not suffer any visible injuries. The actor and that other motorist swapped insurance details before driving away from the scene, reports Contactmusic.

From softpedia.com: The fourth “Pirates of the Caribbean” film is happening, with or without stars Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley. With neither of these two yet on board, and director Gore Verbinski officially out of the picture, producer Jerry Bruckheimer tells HitFlix that the upcoming installment can certainly count on Johnny Depp, on whose character the entire story will be centered.

Speculation of the fourth film has been making the rounds for many months, but it’s just now that Bruckheimer is speaking out on it, revealing details on what’s next for the highly successfully franchise. From what the renowned producer is saying, it might very well just happen that “Pirates 4” will not see Knightley and Bloom back, but at least fans will be pleased to know that Captain Jack Sparrow will be taking center stage.

There is a short video interview with Orlando in Cannes at cnn.com. Orlando appears at 2:20 in the video.

From nznolder.blogspot.com: Viggo Mortensen was spotted in New Zealand - I can confirm that, as at least one of my spies spoke to him directly. Apparently he was here working on The Hobbit, and preparing for a small cameo in the second movie when he needs to reprise his role as a dunedain ranger, guarding the Shire against passing baddies.

What we can also take away from that is the fact that they’re happily re-inserting characters that didn’t get a (specific) mention in the Tolkien’s “The Hobbit” book, which means that the chances of (for instance) Gimli and Legolas re-appearing are also now significantly higher.

Orlando attended the Burberry Lights up the New York City Skyline celebration at The New York Palace Hotel on May 28th. View photos here.

From wwd.com: Thursday evening, a mix of fashion editors, designers and celebrities ignored cold, misty rain, and ascended to the New York Palace Hotel’s rooftop to help Burberry celebrate its new Madison Avenue headquarters and the neon signage crowning it.

“Christopher called me and said ‘Do you want to come help me light the light?’ and I was on my way to L.A. so I thought ‘Why not?’” explained [Orlando] of his presence.

Etonline.com has a video interview with Orlando on the set of Main Street.

“I like these kinds of movies; I enjoy going to see a slice of life, the way [these] kind of people live,” says Orlando. “I like the idea of playing a cop; kind of thinking about how a cop goes about his daily life and what he comes up against.”

Orlando is once again up for the Most Attractive Man weekly poll on hellomagazine.com.

Four of Orlando’s wrist watches are being auctioned off on June 11th in NYC. A portion of the proceeds will go to UNICEF.

Photos of Orlando and Miranda at ‘Akvinta Presents Hollywood Dominos’ held at the The House At Cannes on May 18th.

Here’s a photo and article about Orlando training at a gym in Durham, NC while filming Main Street.

From variety.com: Vivendi Entertainment has set Oct. 16 as the release date for anthology project “New York, I Love You.”

Orlando has been rumored to be starring in Red Circle. This is from an interview with the writer/direct:

THR: Early preparations started on “Red Circle” and then stopped. Is the picture ever going to happen?

To: It needs time. I’m not satisfied with the script and if I’m not satisfied nobody else is going to be. But it is absolutely one of my priorities as you can see (points to the wall where script notes are plastered.) “Death of a Hostage,” which is a Hong Kong production through Media Asia, is probably what I’ll shoot next. Then, hopefully, “Red Circle.”
