Sky Showbiz - Love Again For Orlando: "It's not great news for those hoping to pull Orlando Bloom... as it seems the British actor is off the menu again.

Orlando & Chad Go Shirtless (March 12th-13th, 2005) - Dark Horizons: "We've had Paris Hilton and Jasmin St. Claire for most of the boys and a few girls today, lets turn to Orlando Bloom and Chad Michael Murray for most the girls and a few guys to even out the scales in the balance of fair sexism and equal-orientation drooling. New shots have emerged of these two guys in 'Kingdom of Heaven' and 'House of Wax' today showing off what many consider their best assets - their chests.

There's something almost creepy when you start to consider the similarities of these two - aside from the fact they're in competing Summer movies opening on the same day (May 6th). Think about it - both of these guys are 20-something, rake thin, bare-chested, big bulged, very big nippled pin-up boys that were both involved in accidents in their youth that required either severe hospitalisation or plastic surgery (look carefully, you'll see the scars).

Kingdom of Heaven review, starring Orlando Bloom

2005-03-08T12:17:00.000-08:00

Premiere Magazine
" Nobody is better than Ridley Scott (Blade Runner, Gladiator) at creating a convincing onscreen world, and this epic 12th-century adventure about the Crusades promises to be a voyage back to a time when, not unlike the present, religion and warfare intertwined. Orlando Bloom portrays a humble French blacksmith named Balian, who has just lost his wife and child; when a crusader (Liam Neeson) returns from the Holy Land, he proves to be a key part of Balian's past-and future. Balian journeys east to Jerusalem, where the princess of the city, Sybilla (The Dreamers' Eva Green), will involve him in palace intrigue even as his soldiering and engineering skills make him the city's chief defender. Balian, says Scott, is "the only [historical] character we took liberty with. We had to. We had to find a leading guy." Bloom, who muscled up for the job, says Balian is "a very earnest, open, and true character, who is on a journey of spiritual, political, and emotional discovery. A huge arc for one man.""

Is it true that Orlando Bloom and Kate Bosworth are on the verge of breaking up?

Probably not, though as usual with Hollywood romances, one should never say never. Together for two years, the handsome couple seemed all set for a long relationship -- there were reports that he had presented her with a $300,000 ring -- and in May she accompanied him to Morocco where he was filming a new costume drama, Kingdom of Heaven.

Rumors began two months later when Bloom returned to the United States to start work on Elizabethtown, a comedy about a young man's romance with a flight attendant, played by Kirsten Dunst. Dunst had recently broken up with longtime boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal and, according to some insiders, real life and reel life on the Elizabethtown set became entwined. Both stars denied it, and, with the film now completed, Bloom will soon head off to the West Indies to start shooting Pirates of the Caribbean 2."
