Orlando Bloom’s Inner Child Blossoms For UNICEF

Filed under: campaigns, donations — paige @ 11:55 am

This handsome hollywood gent is joining a long lineage of Hollywood supporters including Lucy Lieu, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Alyssa Milano in supporting UNICEF as a goodwill ambassador. Orlando Bloom recently took part in a four day UNICEF-supported visit to Nepal where he visited several programs for children in the western districts of Kaski and Chitwan.

According to reports:

In Pokhara village, Mr. Bloom mingled with over three dozen blind girls and boys. He also played a small role in a mini-drama the children were recording that day for the UNICEF-supported radio programme ‘Saathi Sanga Manka Kura’ (Chatting with My Best Friend).

Looks like a friendly game of balloons and bubbles at a Himalayan village brought out Orlando’s inner child, and probably a few smiles from some children in the process.

Britney Spears Receives $30K Worth Of Fur For Birthday

Happy Birthday to you, you belong in a zoo

Filed under: animals — michael @ 1:25 pm

Man, what can you say about Britney Spears these days? I’m not going to pretend to have a clue as to the personal details of her current difficulties, but publicly she seems to be spiraling further downward. How does it happen that someone like Kevin Federline is suddenly the “good parent” in this drama?

Alas, Britney turned 26 this past weekend and celebrated in grand-fashion at the Scandanavian Style Mansion in Bel Air, Calif. The former pop star (and I mean that — the sun has set, folks)  received $30,000 in fur coats, a $10,000 diamond and gold ring, $4,000 in Barito brand sunglasses and various t-shirts and hair products.

The $30K in fur coats might seem a little odd until you consider who was hosting the party:  None other than Sharon Stone. (Insert lightning, thunder)

Now, we’re going to approach this story with a little caution since some sites are reporting that Spears’s jacket is faux-fur while others believe it’s the real deal.  Sharon Stone’s history leaves very little to question, as she also arrived in a full-fur coat made from a pack of foxes.

In other fur news, dlisted is reporting that Sarah Jessica Parker was also seen sporting a fur jacket at screening of Revolver last night in NYC.
