Orlando Bloom suspicious after theft

2 Sep

‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ star Orlando Bloom has broken his silence about a burglary that happened at his Hollywood home last year.

Orlando (32), lost over $700,000 worth of possessions in the raid including his prized watch collection, and he admits that the intricate nature of how the items were taken made him suspect a close friend or employee was responsible.

Says Orlando, “You are like, ‘Who has been in my house?’ You know, the value of things kind of fades away. It’s really about who is it, who am I starting to question?”

Orlando, who has just announced that his supermodel wife Miranda Kerr is four months pregnant, was the victim of a series of robberies last year where celebrities, including Paris Hilton, Brian Austin Green and Lindsay Lohan were targeted.

Lindsay Lohan admits similar feelings of suspicion, saying, “That night I went back to the house, I just felt, to be honest, so violated and uncomfortable. It was just the fact that someone came into the only private space that I have in my life at this point. I don’t ever plan on going back to that house. It was like, such an invasion of privacy, and it’s just eerie.”

Over the Teacups

My four-year-old grandson was at the supermarket with his mother when he exclaimed, “You’re buying something, Mummy, auntie is buying something – I want to buy something!” Mum replied, “You have to be big, have a wife, have a job, then you can buy things.” He replied, “I have a wife – Maia,” meaning his four-year-old friend. Mum said, “What about a job?” Master Four replied, “My job is having a wife!”

Water you want?

I was in the car and asking Master Three what he wanted for Christmas. He said he was going to ask Santa for a water pistol. “And Nanny,” he added, “I’m going to ask for some water for our paddling pool.” Now that could be interesting!

Bee gone

Master Three had his first bee sting recently. The incident broke his heart, but after many cuddles he came right. Later he said, “I never want to see another bee again. I don’t like bees any more, I only like flies.”

Fraud with worry

My daughter warned me that “old people are being taken for a ride,” and that I shouldn’t engage in conversation with phone sales people. To this, Master Five piped up, “Nana can’t go on that ride, she’s old.”
