Orlando Bloom’s Love on a Ledge

The two stars, who were staying at a Sydney hotel, stepped out onto the balcony, where they weren’t afraid to show the world how much they’re in love.  A witness said that the actor even took his shirt off while he was kissing the Victoria’s Secret model.

 

The public display of affection came just before Bloom was set to head back to Los Angeles, leaving his Australian girlfriend behind.

 

On Valentine’s Day, the couple was in Melbourne, Australia, where Kerr was whisked off by Bloom for a romantic picnic.  The actor then proudly watched his girlfriend walk the runway for the David Jones autumn/winter collection launch.

Emma Roberts Breaks Out of the Shadowss Breaks Out of the Shadows

The young Hotel for Dogs star, who is also the niece of Julia Roberts, has been working hard to be recognized for her talents, and not only her last name.

 

“Some people look at me and think, ‘She’s just Julia Roberts’ niece,’” Roberts told Teen Vogue.   “So I wanted to do something smaller and edgier, something that would show I really am an actress.”

 

That something edgier was a starring role in the independent film Lymelife.  The film, which was shot on location in London, is described by Roberts as a mix between American Beauty and The Ice Storm.  Alec Baldwin and Cynthia Nixon also star in Lymelife.

 

In addition to building a successful film career, the 18-year-old actress plans on making time for an education, and plans to enroll in a New York university in the fall.

Axl Rose Trashes Slash

Singer Axl Rose has lashed out at Slash, bringing their long-standing animosity to the forefront once again.

Rose recently revealed that he’d rather die than work with the guitarist again.  During an interview with Spinner, Rose said, "I suppose [former bass player] Duff [McKagan] could play guitar on something somewhere, but there’s zero possibility of me having anything to do with Slash."

He added, "In a nutshell, personally I consider him a cancer and better removed, avoided."

The two men enjoyed huge success with Guns N’ Roses from 1985 until 1995.  Since that time, the two have shared a love/hate relationship.  Rose believes that Slash has no talent as a guitarist and is only interested in being a celebrity.

Pete Wentz Talks About Paranoia

The Fall Out Boy bassist suffers from bipolar disorder, and his paranoia leads him to believe that he may be assassinated.

The star, who married singer Ashlee Simpson last May, told the Mail On Sunday that he continues to have an obsession with death. "I used to think that some day I’d end up murdering a close friend or relative," revealed Wentz. "Now it’s reversed and I’m convinced it’s going to happen to me. That’s the way I’m going out, I’m completely sure of it. So I refuse to answer the front door – it greatly minimises that risk."

Despite his fears, the musician added that marriage and fatherhood have been stabling influences on his life. "With marriage and fatherhood, I’ve finally found two fixed points in my life. They’ve taught me patience. They’ve also taught me that I don’t need to feel guilty about being happy. My emotional seasons are less extreme."
