Has the "hot, hot, hot" Penélope Cruz clone with whom Orlando Bloom was supposedly flirting up a storm over dinner in New York a couple weeks back been identified? The newly shorn (and newly dishy) actor was spotted in New York City last week with lingerie model Miranda Kerr, a meet-up that immediately touched off twosome talk -- talk that was helped along by Bloom tossing his swashbuckling pirate cred to the wind by tenderly cradling Kerr's cutesy, pocket-size Yorkie. According to Australia's Daily Telegraph, Orlando met Miranda backstage at a Victoria's Secret event last year and was apparently impressed by her scantily clad ... personality. Still, the Aussie mannequin's agent is quick to put the kibosh on the couple rumblings, telling the paper, "He's obviously very keen, but they're just friends at this stage." Kerr reiterates their pal status to the New York Post, insisting she's still very much an item with her longtime model boyfriend, Brent Tuhtan.

Thanks to Kate Moss and Peter Doherty's ability to hit "play" on a video camera and the magic of YouTube, the world can now see what they're like behind closed doors, a revelation that turns out to be a whole lot less scary and perforation-filled than you might imagine. Footage of the supermodel and the trouble-breeding Babyshambles rocker interacting at her Cotswolds estate is making its way around the Internet, and it provides an illuminating look into their stubbornly enduring romance. In the video, Pete is strumming a song the London Daily Mail says is titled "KP Nuts" (KP is said to be a reference to their first names) when Kate, wearing what appears to be a diaphanous couture nightie and little else, plops down in a hanging-basket chair beside him. As Doherty plays the surprisingly dulcet ditty, a swaying Moss occasionally pipes up with such sweet sentiments as, "Rot in jail, you [bleep]," and, "Oi, [bleep]face." She also joins in on the warbling, but accurately concludes, "Sonny and Cher we're not." Still, they're not without their charms. As Pete sings a run of "la la las," Kate teases him, "Don't 'la la la' me." The London Sun says the clip is part of a larger video diary project the entertainingly dysfunctional duo is working on, which they hope to turn into "an arty documentary." "They think it's cool and romantic, like something John Lennon and Yoko Ono would have done," an insider tells the tab. "But in reality, it's all rather embarrassing ..."

Heath Ledger continues to bob and weave over whether he's officially taken baby mama Michelle Williams as his ball and chain. When asked by Newsweek if the nuptial nattering is true, the cantankerous thespian gets coy, saying, "We try not to talk about it, to keep it our own kind of thing. It's obviously very sacred. People write stories regardless. The stories haven't necessarily been bad. So we're letting people run with their assumptions." When the mag asks why he won't simply confirm or deny, Ledger declares he and Williams, who are parents to 1-year-old Matilda, are "not ones to announce," but he hints that "photos of us wearing our wedding rings" should offer a pretty big "I do" clue.

Don't be surprised if Rose McGowan pops up in the next Robert Rodriguez flick. Details are emerging about the apparent love connection that sparked between the actress and filmmaker last year while they were shooting "Grindhouse," in which the actress plays the oh-so-fetching machine-gun-gammed Cherry. "It was the worst-kept secret on the set. They were going off to his trailer, having meals together," a mole alleges to the New York Post. "Rose thought some of the crew were treating her differently, and the attitude was, like, well what do you expect when you're [bleeping] the director?" According to Variety, Rodriguez's budding relationship with McGowan meant the end of his 16-year marriage to producer Elizabeth Avellan, with whom he has five children (four boys, Rebel, Rocket, Rogue and Racer, and a daughter, Rhiannon), and a monthlong production shutdown. "When Elizabeth found out, there was an eruption of emotions -- an emotional volcano," another snitch adds to the Post, although a studio rep insists, "The hiatus had nothing to do with Robert's personal life." Rodriguez and Avellan maintain their breakup is "amicable."

Tori Spelling shouldn't hold her breath waiting for a baby gift from ex-husband Charlie Shanian, who has taken to the pages of GQ to get some revenge closure over getting the heave-ho when she fell for her now-husband, Dean McDermott. "Fifteen months into my marriage, I opened the National Enquirer to see pictures of what appeared to be my wife giving another man a lap dance," Tori's ex writes in the mag (via E!'s Marc Malkin). Shanian also claims Spelling, who can be seen snuggling up to newborn son, Liam, on the cover of the latest Us Weekly, handed him his walking papers during a visit to her therapist, where he was informed that she wasn't the bubbly blonde heir-head he thought she was. "She had only married me because I loved her and took care of her," he sighs. "She had purposefully shown me only 10 percent of her true personality."
