Orlando Bloom Reacts To Miranda Kerr Evan Spiegel Engagement News

Miranda Kerr and Evan Spiegel’s engagement has made major headlines this past week as the couple made the announcement through their social media accounts after almost a year of dating. And it looks like Miranda Kerr’s ex Orlando Bloom has something to say about it.

With Miranda Kerr and Evan Spiegel’s wedding gearing up to be the social event of the year, everyone can’t help but wonder what Orlando Bloom thinks of his ex moving on with the CEO of Snapchat. After all, Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom share a 5-year-old son together, Flynn Bloom and now that Evan Spiegel is going to be a part of his life, the Hollywood actor has every reason to be interested in what’s going on in his ex’s life.

According to E! Online this week though, Orlando Bloom is supposedly very happy for his ex, as both he and the Australian-born model have moved on. Of course, Miranda Kerr and Evan Spiegel aren’t the only hot celebrity couple making headlines, as Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry dating rumors have been dominating the gossip blogs for months now, too.

One source close to the actor said, “Orlando is happy for Miranda. He spoke with and congratulated her.”

It’s a good thing that Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr have managed to keep their relationship as friendly and mutual as possible for the sake of their son, Flynn. It also has to be very assuring for the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ actor to know that his son’s future stepfather also treats him the way he deserves to be treated. “Orlando knows that Evan treats Flynn well so that’s all that matters to him,” the insider explained, adding, “Evan and Miranda did not have a sit-down with the child to explain their engagement because he is too small to understand.”

Nevertheless, sources added that Evan Spiegal “is very much a part of Flynn’s life” and that the boy “loves” him.

The only thing now is of course, to wait and see what Orlando Bloom decides to do next. With the way things are going in his life, it will only be a matter of time before an Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry engagement makes news soon, too. After all, the British-born actor also plans on getting married and having more kids one day, too.

Check back with CDL with all the latest updates on Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry along wit the Miranda Kerr and Evan Spiegal wedding right here.

Celebrity Vs The Arts

It was 1985 and I booked the jazz caravan a two day session at Grant Avenue in Hamilton. I'd pocketed enough coin to record a collection of originals and a few standards with up and coming singer Liberty Silver. Liberty and I had just played a weekend at the Chick 'N Deli on Mt. Pleasant and something clicked. Silver had that jazz vibe and much potential. Still, we hadn't spent time getting familiar with one another so I had to plan a diversion to keep everyone calm and fixated on the running order. I decided on recording a few instrumentals upfront before calling on the big voice.

It was late fall and the drive as usual, bumper to bumper, a grinding slog. A day or so earlier I picked up a price-cut copy of Hollywood Celebrities: The Untold Stories. I passed over the back seat to Liberty and within minutes it was "WTF? time - revelation after revelation - the inside scoop on Fatty Arbuckle - Errol Flynn - stuff hidden away in 1950’s type supermarket tabloids.

Liberty consumed nearly every page before I called her to sing. That she did with bravado - Miles Davis’ "Four" - Stanley Turrentine's "Sugar" and the classic, "Loverman." Sidemen were brilliant; Pat LaBarbera, Reggie Evans, Marty Morrell, Joe LaBarbera and Dave Young.

I thought about the session for days to come and the power celebrity gossip has to enslave our lives. Here we are thirty years down the road from that unique session and tidbits of people’s mishaps and confrontations remain all consuming.

I get this creepy feeling one day Dundas Square in downtown Toronto with all of its flashing Blade Runner lighting, Mt. Everest LCD screens and snappy adverts will start broadcasting twenty-four hour celebrity updates - the thoughts, escapades, tragic break-ups and surreal dullness of stilted lives.

Think of the past week - Kanye West, a Kardashian, Taylor Swift or maybe not, battling like eight year olds on rarified money turf over shared banality. I truly think between stage and studio these folks get easily bored and at a loss occupying most waking hours with anything meaningful other than texting and tweeting insults and selfies. Cap that with a Republican convention so off the rails it keeps steaming towards a climatic ending somewhere near Hooterville, USA.

David Farrell suggested I ask the good people of the Canadian music community to express themselves with the coming overhaul of arts funding and the first response, "can we do something about media, there's nothing about us in the pages of newspapers, that daily read, just celebrity filler?" Resolving that dilemma is out of reach for the 99%.

I do read the dailies and find little to excite in the entertainment sections other than cut and paste celebrity nothingness. Here's the issue, the notorious just don't excite anymore - there's too much, much. The coin herders are boring, self-absorbed and of little importance in a world complicated with strife, climate change, and threats of terrorist activities. Where's Alice Cooper and his bag of bleeding chickens? Donald Trump gets this. He's the ultimate vain PR junkie - feeds on attention, devours media, and rarely fails to deliver something so over the top, outrageous and emotionally stultifying we find ourselves lapping up the spillage. We have entered the Loon Age - and there's only room for the outlandish, provocative, deceitful, and self-absorbed.

I had a wonderful hang at Toronto Downtown Jazz Festival - a few weeks of Beaches International Jazz, all kinds of local events and see so much splendid talent and people seem so normal as if this planet is better grounded than we are told. Musicians are hurting, venues struggle, record companies diminishing and still classrooms are crammed with young aspiring producers and managers with ambition who actually believe if they trip across a bundle of talent they will be part of that future. I admire this yet I'm starting to believe the future will be in the hands of the unhinged - the vast majority of believers will be posts along a highway of broken dreams unless we tap into this vast reservoir of creative home talent and carve an alternate route.

Back to that FYI Music query about the upcoming public debate on federal support for arts & culture that puts everything on the table. What might you suggest needs enhancing or changed?

Dawn M Rubin-Miller: I am a Musicians Master Life Coach.. Music saves lives! It is a documented fact. Kids in music do better in school due to all it's process. Music builds self confidence. In this day and age of technology, it also builds social skills. Music is a form of communication all it's own and enables children to articulate what their words cannot. It is a forum for children to learn they can be part of a positive Team or individual standing. No matter if it's through notes, dance etc. Creative minds do not process the world like "normal" Students. Music shows them they do not have a learning disability but a gift.

Gary LeDrew: I think it most important for the suits to realize that the Arts are the basis of culture and are the biggest draw of tourism. The dummies here in NS quit funding movie projects not understanding that one good movie in Nova Scotia is worth millions in advertising and when the data was in they were out to lunch just on the immediate returns. Not enough support for visual arts. If the music isn't played it’s hard to get funding.

Alexander Mair: Transparency. As well as listing recipients of funding, tell us what they did with the money ... jobs created, artists signed (minus artists dropped), results of tours, etc.

Karen Bliss: I interviewed the Minister a while back and he had to concede they don't have the manpower to properly vet where the money goes, before giving even more money to the same companies.

Tom Veitch: Funding from Government, local business & corporations who profit from the town's villages and cities they are located in. Promoters who listen to the wants and tastes of patrons along with cultural diversity and community support.

Patricia Silver: More support for music festivals. Facilitation of connecting festivals with potential sponsors.

Barry Roden:  Federal funding for musical instruments in school across Canada.

Julian Taylor: Music helps define who we are and I think that it's important for young Canadians to hear themselves reflected on the radio.  They need to be able to identify with people who are like them and who look like them.  Canada is a vast and wonderful country and we are fortunate to have such a lush cultural landscape.

More exposure given to each and everyone of the cultures that make up our mosaic through the medium of artistic expression can only benefit us all. It's great that the CRTC has a mandate for 30% Canadian content because it has afforded many artists an opportunity to be heard and develop their careers.  Unfortunately the Canadian music that is played is not entirely reflective of the people making music in this country.  Moving forward I think that there also should be a discussion about a percentage set aside for cultural diversity implemented on commercial outlets as well.

When Bob Marley, one of the most popular and relevant artist of our time only gets played at 4:20pm (national marijuana smoking time) each day then that is evidence of a systemic hurdle that we need to overcome.  One could certainly view that gesture as discourteous to his global message.  He had so much more to say. We need to encourage more people to share their stories with one another and support them.  We might learn more about ourselves in the process.

Qandeel Baloch: Pakistan social media celebrity 'killed by brother'

Pakistani social media celebrity Qandeel Baloch has been killed by her brother in an apparent 'honour killing' in the province of Punjab, police say.

Ms Baloch, 26, recently caused controversy by posting controversial pictures of herself on social media, including one with her alongside a Muslim cleric.

Police say she was strangled to death.

Cases of women being killed for 'dishonouring' their family are commonplace in Pakistan.

Qandeel Baloch became a household name for posting bold, sometimes raunchy, photographs, video and comments.

Conservatives condemned her behaviour when she recently made headlines after posting pictures of herself with a prominent cleric, Mufti Qavi.

Police say the killing took place on Friday night.

"The brother was also there last night and the family told us that he strangled her to death," police official Azhar Akram told the AFP news agency.

Police said the brother had not been arrested and was on the run.

Hundreds of women are murdered every year in Pakistan in so-called honour killing cases.

Ms Baloch rose to fame in Pakistan in 2014 when a video of her pouting at the camera and asking "How em looking?" went viral.

While many younger people hailed her liberal views she was also subjected to frequent misogynist abuse online.

Guess which of these 3 celebrity-owned cars has appreciated the most

World-renowned auto appraiser Donald Osborne recently joined comedian and car enthusiast Jay Leno on CNBC's "Jay Leno's Garage" to evaluate three cars owned by famous people.

In the episode, they discuss how celebrity provenance factors into value, especially to collectors. Three cars go head-to-head, and the hosts determine which has appreciated the most over the past five years.

The first car is a 1952 Ferrari Barchetta. This one was originally purchased by William Clay Ford, Henry Ford's brother, for about $10,000. It was later used by the Ford motor company as inspiration for its 1955 Thunderbird. Enzo Ferrari customized this particular car with more Americanized features for its special new owner, making it truly one-of-a-kind.

A couple years later, an Italian-bodied 1953 Cadillac Series 62 Ghia would sell for about $3,500. There were only two of these particular custom cars made, and one was owned by Rita Hayworth's husband, Aly Khan. It blended many of the characteristics of an American classic with Italian detail.

Shortly after that, a 1955 Buick Roadmaster also sold for about $3,500. However, Leno said he bought one used in 1972 for $350 and has since modified it with more power and features. Generally, this tends to devalue the car, but that doesn't factor in the celebrity provenance of Leno.

Watch the video above to see which car has appreciated most by virtue of its famous former (or current) owner.

Celebrity Big Brother 2016: the latest news and rumours

Regular Big Brother isn't over yet but anticipation over the celebrity edition is already building. We won't know for sure who the contestants are until the big launch but that hasn't stopped the rumours from circulating. We look at those tipped to be the likely contenders.

Katie Waissel

Waissel appeared on the 2010 series of The X Factor and attracted a lot of attention from viewers due to her eccentric, over-confident personality. Her fame only grew when cameras caught her emotional reaction to her grandmother being exposed by a newspaper as a prostitute.

Her personal life has been similarly turbulent in the years since: her marriage to model Brad Alphonso lasted only two months.

Grant Bovey

Property magnate Grant Bovey was married to Anthea Turner for 15 years but the pair divorced in October after Bovey had an affair. He was also declared bankrupt in 2010 so could probably use the £100,000 fee that he has reportedly been offered – no doubt the producers are hoping for some frank discussions about his marriage.

Turner appeared on the show herself, back in 2001, and was the third contestant to be evicted.

Samantha Fox

It may come as a surprise to some that former glamour model Samantha Fox hasn't been on the show before. The 50-year-old has, however, previously appeared on Celebrity Wife Swap and I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!

It's been a particularly hard year for Fox, having lost her long-term partner, Myra Stratton, to cancer in August.

Helen Lederer

The comedian, writer and actress is best known for playing fashion journalist Catriona in Absolutely Fabulous. She was reportedly approached by producers in 2009 but was unable to take part due to scheduling conflicts. If she does appear in this year's competition she should provide some welcome wit.

Tulisa Contostavlos

The singer and former X Factor judge is attempting to relaunch her career after being largely out of the limelight since 2013. CBB producers are reportedly desperate to sign her up for the show but currently her representatives deny that she will be appearing.
