Orlando Gets Slimed!

Last year, when collecting an Award for 'Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest' Orlando said he 'wished to be considered for the next sliming thing'. At last nights 'Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards' his wish was granted, Orlando was one of the celebrity guests who received the honor of being slimed in front of an audience of screaming youngsters in what turned out to be the longest Slime Time in history.
"It's the whole reason I became an actor, so that I could stand here, at the Kids Choice Awards, and take part in the biggest celebrity sliming in the history of sliming!" shouted an excited Orlando Bloom.
The slime tank was ready to 'goo' as Jack Black and Orlando Bloom rose upward in their slime seats, safety 'seat belts' tightly fastened to ensure they wouldn't escape. After a few staged 'technical hitches' encouragement was needed in the form of 'kid power.
'Slime! Slime! Slime!...' screamed Jack and Orlando as they whipped the entire audience into a frenzy until the green goo was suddenly released in a deluge onto their heads.
I think I'll pass on that wish for a hug from Orlando Bloom at this moment in time!

Orlando Drops Out Of 'An Education'

From The Daily Mail...

Orlando Bloom is doing full on martial arts training for a Hong Kong kung-fu movie.

It means Bloom has had to drop out of the small role he was going to take in An Education, which has just started production, with Carey Mulligan playing a teenager in Sixties London who comes under the spell of a charismatic - and totally unsuitable - older man played by Peter Sarsgaard, who introduces the girl to a high-living lifestyle.

Bloom was to have played a friend of Sarsgaard's character. Instead, the fastrising Dominic Cooper will play Bloom's role.

Mr Cooper will be seen this year in the screen version of the hit musical Mamma Mia! (still in the West End), and opposite Keira Knightley, Ralph Fiennes and Hayley Atwell in The Duchess.

Meanwhile, Bloom is limbering up and getting fit to be in Johnny To's movie The Red Circle, which will film in Hong Kong.

By the way, An Education is based on a memoir Lynn Barber wrote for Granta - it was adapted for the movies by Nick Hornby.

Cafe Dismantled To Recapture Swinging Sixties

An interesting little article from The Daily Express

THE historic Café de Paris is to be completely dismantled and rebuilt for a big-budget British movie, An Education – and the whole process will be captured on film by actor Orlando Bloom.

Club regular Orlando stars in the flick, the story of a 17-year-old suburbanite caught up in the glamorous world of Sixties London, which also features Rosamund Pike, Emma Thompson and Olivia Williams.

“It will cost a five-figure sum to take down all the venue décor and furnishings and turn the Café into the swinging Sixties,” reports our girl at the bar.

“The Café was also transformed for the Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller film, The Edge Of Love, but this will be far more dramatic – Orlando will be recording the whole transformation on his own camcorder.

“The film’s producers have quite a task on their hands – the Café’s owners want it all back to normal for their usual footballers and young pop stars by the weekend so everything will have to be put back in a frenzy.”

We are assuming that filming is to start very soon or has already begun in London. As yet, no official announcement has been made about the current filming status of 'An Education'.
