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."
