Orlando Blooms lives next to some pretty big Hollywood names including Charlize Theron and Scarlett Johansson. Apparently, Orlando’s new neighbors aren’t very happy with what Orlando has done to his nearly $3 million dollar pad.

Mr. Hottie Bloom has painted his house black! That’s right…black. It doesn’t really fit in with the surrounding houses that are all a white color of some sort.

“Charlize and Scarlett were a bit taken aback. Most go for white, but Orlando went completely the other way.  It’s a bit weird, but that’s Orlando - he’s an original guy.” says a source.
I don’t think they are lobbying to have him change it, but they don’t like it!!

From TMZ:

TMZ has learned the LAPD is investigating the car crash involving Orlando Bloom, and cops are still looking at the possibility that he committed hit and run.

The accident occurred just after 2:00 AM Friday, after Bloom left a Hollywood club. The woman in the back seat, prominent fashion stylist Cher Coulter, suffered a fractured neck in the crash. Minutes after leaving the club, Orlando smashed into a parked Porsche, then began walking away from the scene. X17 has video of paparazzi repeatedly urging Bloom to return, which he finally did.

Ironically, as Coulter left the club, before getting in the car, she said to Orlando, “What, are you gonna leave me on the street.” Minutes later, that’s exactly what he did — when he walked away.

Detectives tell us Orlando has been interviewed by cops, and he said an SUV with paparazzi cut him off and caused the crash. The LAPD is investigating that as well.

As to why Bloom was not given a field sobriety test, one detective says that even if an officer saw “minor objective symptoms” of intoxication, it’s still a subjective judgment call.

The LAPD tells us the investigation is open and active.

We contacted Bloom’s rep — so far, no word back.

Orlando Bloom was reportedly involved in a car accident in Los Angeles last night.

The accident – apparently minor – occurred around 2:15 a.m., according to TMZ.com, which says at least one person suffered minor injuries. It was unclear if the 30-year-old Pirates of the Caribbean star was hurt or if anyone was taken to the hospital.

Bloom was driving a 2003 Toyota Matrix registered to Dariusz Wolski, the director of photography on the Pirates movies, TMZ reports, adding that Bloom had spent time at the Green Door in Hollywood earlier in the evening.

The actor has been taking a break from movie-making, after several whirlwind years of jumping from project to project.

TMZ: Police tell TMZ that they’ve determined actor Orlando Bloom was not drunk or under the influence of drugs at the time of the accident. Police tell us that they did not administer a blood alcohol test at the scene, and would not say if one was given at all. But, they insist he was not under the influence.

UPDATE: LAPD tells us that one of Bloom’s passengers suffered a fractured neck and the other was cut by her seat belt.

First Orlando Bloom was linked to being with Jennifer Aniston in Mexico. Now, OK Magazine is claiming that he is secretly dating Jessica Simpson? The pair arrived at the Hennessy Artistry event at Paramount Studios TOGETHER.

“They slipped in a little after 8 PM and remained backstage for roughly twenty minutes before leaving together,” an eyewitness tells OK!. The pair popped into the event to catch up with Jess’ little sis Ashlee, who was there in support of her guypal Pete Wentz, whose rock group Fall Out Boy was performing.

“Jessica and Orlando are trying to keep their relationship on the down low,” the source says. “It’s all new to them and they’re still just feeling their ways but they are definitely an item.”

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! My heart is broken! Ok, not really, but I like the idea of Orlando with Jennifer Aniston a lot better! I do have to say that she does look really pretty in the above picture.

Maybe I will have a new favorite couple after all…..

“Fellow gues claim Aniston and Bloom immediately latched onto each other and spent much of the ceremony together. A source tells Life & Style magazine. “When they got down to Mexico, they just gravitated to each other. They sat next to each other for both the rehearsal dinner and the actual ceremony. Their super-flirty behavior surprised some of the other guests, but they didn’t look like they cared who was watching because they were so into each other.”
