September 20, 2002 - Billie Piper has been filming her cameo role in new British film The Calcium Kid. The singer appears alongside Lord Of The Rings star Orlando Bloom. It is Billy's first job since taking a year off after marrying Chris Evans. Her record label Innocent is expecting her to relaunch her career in the near future. Rolling Stone magazine has a short profile on Orlando Bloom for their Hot Movies feature. Bloom admits he's having trouble playing roles as an action hero, and has to be careful with how much he pushes himself - because his spine could give out at any minute. "I feel like I'm in competition with Evel Knievel," said Bloom, who once broke his back falling off a friend's terrace. "For four days they didn't think I'd walk again. Now if I start to take too much on, my back goes, 'Twang! Listen, man, remember who you are!'"

This holiday involved haunted rooms, chainsaws, rape, hallucinations, drugs, blood-capsules, skiing, abseiling, rock-climbing, vomiting and Weird frendz (that are so unlike, yet so alike me!). Anywayz, i'll get on with my news. The Mirror reports Heath Ledger and Orlando Bloom are following in Brad Pitt's footsteps growing big, bushy beards for their new movie Ned Kelly. But Hollywood bosses were fuming worried it would hurt the pair's sex appeal and decided stubble would be a more seductive look. But too many scenes had been shot to start again.

Orlando Bloom: It was my first opportunity.
Iann Robinson: Talk about trial by fire.
Orlando Bloom: Yeah, absolutely, baptism by fire. It was like I was thrown into it, but I was given so many opportunities to sort of explore the areas of my character that I needed in order to kind of make him real. For Pete [Peter Jackson, LOTR's director] to have had the confidence in me, gave me the confidence to go ahead. The first thing they did was stick a bow in my hand, and I started doing archery training and through that I found the character. I found exactly what I wanted him to look like.
Iann Robinson: Your Legolas was great cause he's pissed.
