Mention In Vogue

Kate Bosworth is on the February cover of Vogue, and according to Popsugar, mentions Orlando: “Orlando and I met when we were kids. Blue Crush hadn’t come out. Lord of the Rings hadn’t come out. … He was the first big heartbreak. … First love: You feel like it’s the be-all and end-all. … To put as little pressure on the relationship you’re in is very important. I regret that it was too intense for both of us.”

Orlando Lunches With Laura Linney

From NY Post: It was “happening” at LA’s Chateau Marmont. Lunching in the garden were Orlando Bloom and Laura Linney. These two actors are both repped by the same management company and were talking a possible movie project.Departing, they ran into Felicity Huffman, who was dining with friends. Laura introduced Felicity to Orlando; they chatted for five minutes and left. As they walked away, the “Desperate Housewives” Golden Globe 2006 winner and the Emmy 2005 winner remarked to her table, “Boy! Is he ever cute!” Then she mock fanned herself. Well, we know Felicity has one of Hollywood’s happiest marriages to the terrific William H. Macy, but still she ain’t dead yet. She can still appreciate!
